Poetry Lore

Poetry Lore - Book Bio Poetry Lore is a poetry compilation in 3 parts: Part 1: Mass Energy, The Death-Life Conspiracy Part 2: The Power Of Release Part 3: Self-Consciousness, Law Of Unification (all bodies) There is also an Intro Poem called The Animal, one of the very first poems I ever wrote. I, Kyle Lance Proudfoot, first started my poetry in 1988. My theme is primarily Philosophy, Psychology and the Paranormal. Describing in rich idealistic and even mystical verses with a good dosage of emotion, but also maintaining an amount of logical and rational argumentation of life, death, humanity, individuality, soul, spirit, mind and body with all their various interwoven energies, I develop the 3 parts from dark and stormy Shadow to clear and brilliant Light. My other books also have this plot progression. May you be inspired by reading my poetry as I have been so many times by all the great ones who have preceded me. My favorites are Blake, Shakespeare and many others on Internet these days.

Surreal, playful, and always poignant, the prose poems in Jose Hernandez Diaz’s masterful debut chapbook introduce us to a mime, a skeleton, and the man in the Pink Floyd t-shirt, all of whom explore their inner selves in Hernandez Diaz’s startling and spare style. With nods to Russell Edson and the surrealists, Hernandez Diaz explores the ordinary and the not-so-ordinary occurrences of life, set against the backdrop of the moon, and the poet’s native Los Angeles.

"Poems and tales of a literary forefather of the United Arab Emirates"--

Lore and Verse is the first English-language book dedicated entirely to studying poems on history (yongshi shi) in premodern China. Focusing on works by poets from the entire range of early medieval China (220–589), Yue Zhang explores how history was disseminated and interpreted through poetry, as well as how and why certain historical figures were commemorated in poetry. In writing poems on history, poets retrospectively crafted their own identities through their celebration of historical figures, and they prospectively fortified a continuous lineage for transmitting their values and reputation to future generations. This continuous tradition of cultural memory informs a poet's reception of historical figures, which in turn shapes that tradition through further intertextual connections. Lore and Verse questions the sweeping generalization of early medieval Chinese poetry as consisting mainly of exuberant images and an ornamental style—an inaccurate characterization repeated by later historians and literary critics—and it provides translations, close readings, and analyses of selected poems on history that will be useful for students, instructors, and general readers interested in premodern Chinese literature and culture.
