| it poem for beverly: Bearing Witness Beverly Finney, 2019-10-29 A Poetry Book of immense suavity and demeanor.Beverly Finney's Bearing Witness shouts to be read by women and men of all ages, especially men who have not lived relationships with hope and stability. Presented in realistic monologues, the poems pour out tales of grief and endurance - survival.See 'In My Dreams': the speaker pushes the week's laundry in the washing machine and puts some 'beans on to cook for dinner.' In 'Twist of Fate' the down-and-out woman tries 'to accept a sifting of confetti, yearning for something like fireworks.' Loneliness reigns supreme: 'Failed Therapy' ends, 'It's a dead horse we're beating now.' As 'Master Craftsman' says, 'And this trowel? It's broke right here, but I done fixed it all I can.' This tool-user speaks for all the talkers in Bearing Witness, a 'spoken' telling, precise as dry sparks.---Shelby Stephenson, author of numerous books of poetry, most recently Paul's Hill: Homage to Whitman and Our World. He was Poet Laureate of North Carolina, 2015-2018. If you've ever overheard a conversation in the doctor's office, imagined the life story of someone you've seen at the grocery store, or been the recipient of a stranger's confidences, you'll recognize the people in Beverly Finney's poems: funny, bawdy, burdened, enduring, reflective, stubborn people. Finney truly sees the people in her poems, and she writes of them with compassion and clarity, in well-made poems that feel fresh and alive.---Jennifer Horne's most recent book of poems is Borrowed Light. She is also the author of two other collections, Bottle Tree and Little Wanderer, and Tell the World You're a Wildflower, a collection of short stories. She is Poet Laureate of Alabama, 2017-2021 |

At midnight comes the point of balance. Of danger.

Featuring an introduction and prefaratory notes to each story by the author, this collection contains four heart-stopping accounts of that moment when the familiar world fractures beyond sense, the fragments spinning away from the desperate, clutching reach of sanity . . . One Past Midnight: 'The Langoliers' takes a red-eye flight from LA to Boston into a most unfriendly sky. Two Past Midnight: 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' enters the suddenly strange life of writer, alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake. Three Past Midnight: 'The Library Policeman' is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding . . . Four Past Midnight: 'The Sun Dog' sees a menacing black dog appear in every Polaroid picture that fifteen-year-old Kevin Delevan takes with his new camera, beckoning him to the supernatural. |

| it poem for beverly: Vancouver George Stanley, 2008-04-20 The Lions bare of snow, crowded express buses, a giant red turning letter W. Vancouver: A Poem is George Stanley's vision of the city where he lives, though he does not call it his own. Vancouver, the city, becomes Stanley's palimpsest: an overwritten manuscript on which the words of others are still faintly visible. Here the Food Floor's canned exotica, here the stores of Chinatown, here the Cobalt Hotel brimful of cheap beer and indifferent women. The poet travels through the urban landscape on foot and by public transit, observing the multifarious life around him, noting the at times abrupt changes in the built environment, and vestiges of its brief history. As he records his perceptions, the city enters his consciousness in unforeseen ways, imposing its categories and language. Skirting chestnuts on the sidewalk or reading William Carlos Williams's Paterson on the Granville Bridge, the poet travels along the inlet, past the mountains, under the trees, interrogating the local world with his words. |

| it poem for beverly: A Reading 18-20 Beverly Dahlen, 2006 There's a sphinx-like allure to the work of Beverly Dahlen, she intuits so much we haven't yet fathomed.

Aesthetics is ethics and more than ever we need an inscrutable poetic language such as Dahlen's. This book is a survival, a summons.--Publisher's website. |

| it poem for beverly: They Call Me Güero David Bowles, 2021-08-24 An award-winning novel in verse about a boy who navigates the start of seventh grade and life growing up on the border the only way that feels right—through poetry. They call him Güero because of his red hair, pale skin, and freckles. Sometimes people only go off of what they see. Like the Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez, twelve-year-old Güero is puro mexicano. He feels at home on both sides of the river, speaking Spanish or English. Güero is also a reader, gamer, and musician who runs with a squad of misfits called Los Bobbys. Together, they joke around and talk about their expanding world, which now includes girls. (Don’t cross Joanna—she's tough as nails.) Güero faces the start of seventh grade with heart and smarts, his family’s traditions, and his trusty accordion. And when life gets tough for this Mexican American border kid, he knows what to do: He writes poetry. Honoring multiple poetic traditions, They Call Me Güero is a classic in the making and the recipient of a Pura Belpré Honor, a Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award, a Claudia Lewis Award for Excellence in Poetry, and a Walter Dean Myers Honor. |

| it poem for beverly: The Nile Quest Harry Johnston, 2025-04-24 In The Nile Quest: A Record of the Exploration of the Nile and Its Basin, Harry Johnston meticulously chronicles the rich tapestry of explorations along the legendary Nile River, delving into both its geographic significance and cultural ramifications. The book adopts a narrative style that seamlessly combines vivid storytelling with scholarly research, reflecting the Victorian fascination with exploration and the quest for knowledge. Johnston weaves historical context throughout his work, highlighting the endeavors of various explorers while addressing the political and social climates surrounding their journeys. Harry Johnston, a distinguished English explorer, artist, and naturalist, brings a wealth of expertise to this undertaking. His extensive travels through Africa and deep understanding of its cultures inform his writing, allowing him to present not only the geographical wonders of the Nile but also the human experiences that shaped its exploration. Johnston's unique perspective is influenced by his own encounters with African societies and his commitment to documenting their histories, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with the reader. I highly recommend The Nile Quest to anyone interested in the history of exploration, geography, or African studies. Johnston's authoritative account not only educates but also captivates, offering readers a profound insight into the complexities of exploring one of the world's most iconic rivers. |
| it poem for beverly: Directing Herbert White James Franco, 2014-04-11 The debut poetry collection by the actor, director, and writer James Franco I’m a nocturnal creature, And I’m here to cheat time. You can see time and exhaustion Taking pay from my face— In fifty years My sleep will be death, I’ll go like the rest, But I’ll have played All the games and all the roles. —from “Nocturnal” “There’s never been a book quite like this. Hollywood — fame, celebrity, the promise of becoming an artist — is the beast at its center. Franco knows it like Melville knows whaling. Hollywood in this book devours its young. Obsessed with myths about its own past, it can be survived only by finding a vantage point that is not Hollywood. Bold yet subtle, fearless yet disarming, Franco has made a book you will never forget.” — Frank Bidart, winner of the Bollingen Prize in American Poetry “A star-studded cast moves like ghosts across the screen of James Franco’s poetic consciousness, imbuing the writing with scenes of icons who are also humans replete with sorrow and presence in our own psyches. James Dean, Monica Vitti, Catherine Deneuve, Sal Mineo, Heath Ledger, pass and fade. The author has a wonderful self-reflexive insouciance about his own fame and roles inhabited, from Hart Crane to Allen Ginsberg to Harvey Milk’s lover. Franco is a gifted contemporary Renaissance kind of guy, surveying the waterfront of illusion, suffering, and impermanance. We leave the movie theater a little wiser.” — Anne Waldman, poet, editor, scholar, and cultural/political activist |
