/Home/People & Places/Biographies/Poets/Specific Poets Anna Akhmatova Votes:0 Akhmatova, Anna, pseudonym of ANNA ANDREYEVNA GORENKO (b. June 11 [June 23, New Style], 1889, Bolshoy Fontan, near Odessa, Ukraine, Russian Empire--d. March 5, 1966, Domodedovo, near Moscow), Russian poet recognized at her death as the greatest woman poet in Russian literature. Akhmatova began writing verse at the age of 11 and at 21 became a member of the Acmeist group of poets, whose leader, Nikolay Gumilyov, she married in 1910 but divorced in 1918. The Acmeists, through their periodical Apollon ("Apollo"; 1909-17), rejected the esoteric vagueness and affectations of Symbolism and sought to replace them with "beautiful clarity," compactness, simplicity, and perfection of form--all qualities in which Akhmatova excelled from the outset. Her first collections, Vecher (1912; "Evening") and Read More Go to Site Aa.net Votes:0 Aa.net Search Make Money Make Money Fast Make Money Online Ways to Make Money Free Money Make Money with My Computer Make Money Quick Easy Money Making Money Make Lots of Money Fast Paper Money Read More Go to Site Aemilia Lanyer, 17th-C English Woman Poet Votes:0 Aemilia Lanyer 1569-1645 Biography Bibliography Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum Lanyer Listserv Comments This site represents Aemilia Lanyer on a number of literature meta-sites.

Her parents were Edward Dickinson (1803-1874) and Emily Norcross Dickinson (1804-1882). The family included three children: Austin (1828-1895), Emily, and Lavinia (1833-1899). Most of the family belonged to the Congregational Church , though the poet herself never became a member. The Dickinsons were well-off and well-educated. Both Edward and Austin were college graduates, leaders in the community and of Amherst College . Edward Dickinson was a Whig (later a Republican) representative to state and national legislatures. Emily had a strong secondary education and a year of college at South Hadley Female Seminary (later Mount Holyoke College Read More Go to Site C.Fernandez: Romanticism of Charlotte Turner Smith Votes:0 Cecilia Fernandez University of Miami The Romanticism of Charlotte Turner Smith: Plurality of Vision According to some critics, Charlotte Turner Smith, (1749-1806), "was the first poet in England whom in retrospect we would call Romantic" (Curran, Intro, The Poems of Charlotte Smith ). The first edition of her Elegiac Sonnets , written in 1783 while she was in debtor's prison with her husband and children, brought her sudden fame. Her most direct beneficiary among the canonical male poets was William Wordsworth who says in an essay that Smith was a poet "to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered" ( The Prose Works of William Wordsworth: Critical and Ethical , Vo III). Smith, as with many other women writer Read More Go to Site Collected Poems of Alan Harris: Noon Out of Nowhere Votes:0 An Everywhere Oasis 36 Poems of Empathy and Support | 37 Selected Poems on Love | Free PDF Books Finding Poems in This Site Index of Titles Index of Topics Index of First Lines Random Poem Spoken Poems Selected Poems on Love Poems of Empathy & Support PDF Books Poetry Collections by A.

Subscribe to the Edward Lear mailing list! Powered by groups.yahoo.com Why an Edward Lear page? Well, first of all because I like his nonsense very much, and then I wrote my thesis about him several years ago (don't worry, I'm not going to publish it!) so I am supposed to be widely read on the subject... Most important of all, however, is the fact that I haven't been able to find a great deal of Lear's nonsense poetry on the net and I think he deserves his small virtual space as much as his contemporary poetical colleague Lewis Carroll.

Highly regarded by critics such as Harold Bloom and Helen Vendler, her rising reputation rests on the admiration of poets, including, among the Americans, James Merrill, John Ashbery and Jorie Graham, and, among world poets, Nobelists Seamus Heaney and Derek Walcott. Her place in the canon of American poetry is secure. At her death in 1979, Bishop's place among poets was less certain.

His father died when he was eight and his mother when he was 14; these sad circumstances drew him particularly close to his two brothers, George and Tom, and his sister Fanny. Keats was well educated at a school in Enfield, where he began a translation of Virgil's Aeneid. In 1810 he was apprenticed to an a Read More Go to Site JÓnas HallgrÍmsson: Selected Poetry and Prose Votes:0 JÓnas HallgrÍmsson Selected Poetry and Prose Edited and translated with notes and commentary by Dick Ringler Produced by University of Wisconsin-Madison General Library System Developer: Peter C.

Impossible to categorize, moving easily between the literary and musical worlds, always unpredictable and impassioned, she is an idiosyncratically unique performer who has always remained true to her artistic vision. Born in Chicago and raised in Woodbury, New Jersey, just across the state line from Philadelphia, Patti's mother, Beverly, was a jazz singer cum waitress. Her father, Grant, worked at the Honeywell plant; she was the oldes Read More Go to Site Paul Laurence Dunbar Homepage Votes:0 Paul Laurence Dunbar was the first African-American to gain national eminence as a poet. Born in 1872 in Dayton, Ohio, he was the son of ex-slaves and classmate to Orville Wright of aviation fame. Although he lived to be only 33 years old, Dunbar was prolific, writing short stories, novels, librettos, plays, songs and essays as well as the poetry for which he became well known. He was popular with black and white readers of his day, and his works are celebrated today by scholars and school children alike. His style encompasses two distinct voices -- the standard English of the classical poet and the evocative dialect of the turn-of-the-century black community in America. He was gifted in poetry -- the way that Mark Twain was in prose -- in using dialect to convey character.

In 1990 I found myself at a remarkable Soviet-American conference in Newport, Rhode Island, called "Facing Apocalypse II," where I met Soviet scientist and Chernobyl activist Dr. Adolph Harash. His impassioned attack on the authorities who allowed the disaster to happen and who then tried to cover it up or dismiss it as unimportant was in striking contrast to the tone of the rest of the Soviet delegation. For me, the high point of Dr. Harash's speech was the reading of a poem by a woman who had been victimized by the explosion: Lybov Sirota. Director of Read More Go to Site The Tennyson Page Votes:0 We still look to the earlier masters for supreme excellence in particular directions: to Wordsworth for sublime philosophy, to Coleridge for ethereal magic, to Byron for passion, to Shelley for lyric intensity, to Keats for richness. Tennyson does not excel each of these in his own special field, but he is often nearer to the particular man in his particular mastery than anyone else can be said to be, and he has in addition his own special field of supremacy. What this is cannot be easily defined; it consists, perhaps, in the beauty of the atmosphere which Tennyson contrives to cast around his work, molding it in the blue mystery of twilight, in the opaline haze of sunset: this atmosphere, suffused over his poetry with inestimable skill and with a tact rarely at fault, produces an almost u Read More Go to Site Web search Votes:0 Click here to proceed.
