Mary Jane Oliver (September 10, 1935-January 17, 2019), from Maple Heights, OH, was an American poet who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and the National Book Award in 1992. She found inspiration for her work in nature and had a lifelong habit of solitary walks in the wild. Her poetry is characterized by wonderment at the natural environment, vivid imagery, and unadorned language. In 2007, she was declared the best-selling poet in the United States.

No one knows whether Homer was a real person, but there is no doubt that the epic poems assembled under his name are foundations of Western literature. The Iliad and the Odyssey—with their tales of the Trojan War, Achilles, Odysseus and Penelope, the Cyclops, the beautiful Helen of Troy, and the petulant gods—have inspired us for over two and a half millennia and influenced writers from Plato to Virgil, Pope to Joyce, and Dante to Margaret Atwood.

Mary Claire Kendall grapples with Hemingway's faith and does so commendably. She doesn't explain him or explain him away, but she does get us closer to his Catholic heart. Those wishing to listen to the heart of Hemingway will relish this book.

In his first autobiographical work, Jack Kerouac reveals exhilarating stories of the years he spent traveling, while writing his acclaimed novels. His journeys took him from California deserts crisscrossed by train tracks to the bullfights of Mexico to the Beat nightlife of New York City and across the Atlantic to Paris, Morocco, and London. He also writes about relationship, jobs, and the nature of life on the road. Here are echoes of landscapes that appear in some of his novels, including The Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels.

Robert Dessaix’s Chameleon is about everything that matters, a book of memories that flow so freely they seem to happen as we read. Cartwheeling from story to story, Dessaix describes an identity in flux: his beginnings as an adopted child named Thomas Robert Jones, his youthful interest in religious thinking, his obsession with all things Russian, his marriage to Lisa and divorce, his discovery of travel.

Burnt out and in need of retreat, Jenn Ashworth emerged from lockdown with a compulsive need to walk—and to walk away. Armed with little more than the knowledge imparted by a two-day orienteering course and a set of maps, she embarked on the most epic of English walks: Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Guided not just by Wainwright's writing but also by daily letters from her friend Clive—facing an epic journey of his own—Jenn's pilgrimage soon becomes more than just walking: a chance to reconnect and excavate, to re-engage with the act of caring for others and for oneself.

Con una scrittura intima e vivida, l'autrice racconta storie di umanità e natura, in un affresco emotivo dove i cavalli diventano specchio e guida del percorso interiore. La narrazione, tra paesaggi toscani e atmosfere sudamericane, rivela una sensibilità rara nel cogliere le sfumature dell'esistenza, le molteplici forme dell'amore, per gli animali, per i luoghi, per le persone, e il coraggio necessario per trovare la propria strada.

Growing Boys and Growing in Grace Scripture says that Mary pondered certain moments In her heart. Some of these I pondered, too— The little memories I would otherwise forget, But now I can return to, Again and again, In joy.

Los dos textos reunidos aquí no citan, quizás por demasiado obvia, pero amplifican con perspicacia teórica y pulso ensayístico una idea de Kafka, diarista consumado: «Uno encuentra en su diario pruebas de haber vivido, de haber mirado alrededor y de haber anotado observaciones incluso en circunstancias que hoy parecen insoportables». No tanto el devenir siempre acechante de lo trágico que sobrevuela la existencia sino ese resto a veces menor, lo que queda tras la imposición de un cambio de tema, la prueba de que algo de lo que ocurre en la vida podría establecer un canal de ida y ...

Cos'è quel "brivido ai polpastrelli" a cui è impossibile resistere? La smania che porta gli scrittori, nei secoli, a gioire e disperarsi davanti al foglio bianco, alla macchina da scrivere, alla tastiera del computer? Con la disinvolta competenza del narratore navigato e il tono sornione dei suoi pezzi su " la Lettura " del " Corriere della Sera ", Piperno ci regala un'irresistibile riflessione sull'arte di scrivere. "Si scrive perché si sente il dovere di farlo" sosteneva Philip Larkin, con un'ironia che non trascura l'aspetto etico della questione.

Bien qu'Erik Satie soit principalement reconnu pour son œuvre de compositeur et pianiste, ses écrits poétiques sont à l'image de sa musique : souvent courts, empreints d'un humour absurde et d'une grande sensibilité mélancolique. La voix profonde et le timbre captivant de François Marthouret, se mêle ici aux harmonies délicates du piano de Christiane Gugger. La complicité sensible entre l'acteur et de la pianiste, souligne toute la musicalité et l'inattendu de ces écrits iconoclastes signés par l'un des plus grands précurseurs de son époque.

Poems and songs celebrating the author's more than a quarter of a century living in Puerto Rico. 177 works covering people and places on the island with a large cast of fauna and flora.

Grund für diese ablehnende Haltung ist jedoch eine Verwechslung oder fälschliche Synonymisierung. Doch diese Deutung erweist sich als zu einseitig, denn im Mindesten war Heine ambivalent: zu Gott verhielt er sich mit den Worten Zuckmayers wie ein "gläubigster Zweifler" und zur Deutschen Romantik wie ein Fliehender und Suchender zugleich.

Hölderlin war niemals verrückt. In der Konsequenz des Leben-und-besingen-Müssens einer eigentlichen Lebensbejahung, der Annahme des Leides und des Glaubens an die göttliche und liebende Grundstimmung der menschlichen Seele, musste Hölderlin von seinen Mitmenschen, insbesondere von seiner Mutter, für verrückt erklärt werden. Er hat das Angebot angenommen.
