Published by: Everymans Library

In this enchanting and comprehensive collection, the lullabies we all were rocked to sleep with, such as " Rock-a-Bye Baby" and " Hush Little Baby, Don't You Cry, " mingle with traditional lullabies from around the world. Here are beautiful lyrics to sing or read to little ones, from Shakespeare's lullaby for the fairy queen, Titania, to Brahms's " Lullaby"; and from Gershwin's " Summertime" to Langston Hughes's lovely lullaby for a " night black baby." Here, too, are poems for children that range from tender to nonsensical, from quiet to raucous- from Walter de la Mare to T. S. Eliot to Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and Ogden Nash. Whether the intent is to soothe or to amuse, there's something here for every mood, every child, and the child in every adult. A delightful, gift-perfect collection.

Paperback
Author: Jamie Grant (ed) (illus Bridget Farmer)
Published by: Hardie Grant Books
In Stock: 1
Frustrated by the perception that Australian poetry is dry, inaccessible and focused only on the country's landscape, acclaimed poet Jamie Grant decided to form his own collection. One that properly encompassed the liveliness of Australian writing and showed that the only thing dry about its poetry was the humour within it. The collection ranges from the early nineteenth century of Francis Macnamara and Charles Harpur, through the later years of CJ Dennis and Henry Lawson, right up to the present day of Gig Ryan, David Malouf, Stephen McInerney and Kate Jennings. The preoccupations of the different eras are given a full airing - convicts and stockriders, the challenges of drought and war, the rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, the divide between the city and the bush, and the different approaches of generations X, Y and Z. The 'smaller' issues have their outing too: love, barbecues, giraffes, sky writing and pumpkins so big they ... more

Paperback
Author: Allen Ginsberg (ed Mark Ford)
Published by: Faber and Faber
In Stock: 1
In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets of our literature. Allen Ginsberg (1926-97) was born in Newark, New Jersey, to a poet-teacher father and Russian emigre mother. Along with his friend Jack Kerouac, he attended Columbia University, but was initially expelled for writings obscenities on his dormitory window before returning to complete his graduation in 1948. When "Howl and Other Poems" was impounded by San Francisco customs in 1956, the subsequent trial for obscenity catapulted Ginsberg and his publisher City Lights to national fame and helped to define the Beat Generation. His "Collected Poems: 1947-1997" appeared in 2006.

Twelve soldier poets of the First World War

Leading poet and former professor of English Literature, Jon Stallworthy tells the story of the lives and work of twelve major poets of the First World War and provides selections of their best work. The First World War began with flag-waving, parades and poets inspired by abstract ideals, in part this reflected the national mood, but it revealed an almost universal failure to understand what modern mass warfare would really mean. The story of the 'war poets' is also the story of an awakening to the full horror of what the twentieth century came to know as 'The Great War'. Wilfred Owen said, 'My subject is War - and the pity of War'. He also said 'true Poets must be truthful'. The best war poetry was the work of writers who were also serving soldiers and was born out of their desire to tell the truth about what it was to be a soldier in the trenches - what it felt like, what it did ... more

Ballistics : Poems order quantity

NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author: Billy Collins
Published by: Picador
In Stock: 1
It is no understatement to say that Billy Collins has found poetry a whole new audience across the English-speaking world. No poet writing today insists on such open, direct and courteous engagement with the reader, and no poet has shown the common experience to be such an astonishing and singular one. Collins' gift is to make the reader believe that everything is unfolding in real time and in living speech; his poetry always has the sheen and vibrancy of the present moment.

While Ballistics addresses the most grave and serious of subjects - death and love, solitude and aging - Collins' light touch and lighter spirit never desert him. Even in his darkest verses, Collins never fails to remind us of the sheer miracle, comedy and strangeness of our simply being here.

Leonard Cohen's first book of new poetry since "Book of Mercy" was published two decades ago. It collects Cohen's poetry written between the 1980s and the present, and also includes his wonderfully witty and sensuous illustrations, including numerous playful self-portraits. The illustrations interact with, and complement, the poetry in unexpected and fascinating ways. "Book of Longing" demonstrates the range and depth of Cohen's work, revealing an extraordinary gift of language and visual art that speak with rare clarity, passion and timelessness.

Author: Billy Collins (Ed), David Allen Sibley (Illustrator)
Published by: Princeton University Press
In Stock: 1
Poet laureate Billy Collins joins David Sibley, America's foremost bird illustrator, to celebrate the singular muse that has inspired so much poetry since the invention of the form. From Catullus and Chaucer to Robert Browning and James Wright, birds have served as a powerful metaphor for beauty, escape, transcendence, and song, expressing and embodying a poet's deepest longings and ineffable desires. Birds are, in effect, longtime collaborators of the poet's art.In this irresistible anthology, more than one hundred poems by poets throughout history are combined with sixty original illustrations in ornithological detail. Part poetry collection, part field guide, this work will appeal to readers who enjoy poetry and appreciate a visual interpretation of verse, and it will attract nature lovers who value a richer understanding of their objects of study. Carefully selected and species-specific, these poems and pictures enhance our ... more

Author: Robert Browning
Published by: Everyman's Library
In Stock: 1
Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning are without parallel in the nineteenth century: celebrated poets, they became equally famous for their marriage. Still popular more than a century after their deaths, their poetry vividly reflects the unique nature of their relationship.
This collection presents the Brownings' work in the context of their lives: the early years and their initial friendship, their courtship and marriage, the fifteen happy years they spent living in Italy until Elizabeth's death. Whether in short poems such as Elizabeth's "Hector in the Garden" and Robert's "Natural Magic," or in extracts from longer works such as "Aurora Leigh" and "Pauline," the great themes they shared are all represented: love, marriage, illicit passion, England and Italy, childhood, religion, poetry, and nature. Elizabeth's famous "Sonnets from the Portuguese, "based on their love affair, is included in its entirety.

What has happened to the lost art of memorizing poetry? Why do we no longer feel that it is necessary to know the most enduring, beautiful poems in the English language "by heart"? In his introduction, Ted Hughes explains how we can overcome the problem by using a memory system that becomes easier the more frequently it is practised. The collected 101 poems are both personal favourites and particularly well-suited to the method Hughes demonstrates.
