Published in 1993.
Read 3984 times on Poetry Connection.
In the same way that the mindless diamond keeps
one spark of the planet's early fires

but the atom of the love that drew it forth
from the silence: so if the bright... (Read full poem)
4. Preface - written by Wilfred Owen
Read 3248 times on Poetry Connection.
This book is not about heroes. English Poetry is not yet fit to speak

Above all, this book is not concerned... (Read full poem)
5. Poetry - written by Marianne Moore

I, too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all

Hands that can grasp, eyes
that can... (Read full poem)

GOD to his untaught children sent
Law, order, knowledge, art, from high,

For all from Heav'n stark-naked came;
But Poetry their garments... (Read full poem)

The light is dim.

The poetry of earth is never dead:
When all the birds are faint with the hot sun,

In summer... (Read full poem)

Read 3074 times on Poetry Connection.
To gaze at a river made of time and water
And remember Time is another river.
To know we stray like a river

we fear in our bones is... (Read full poem)

Poetry, music, I have loved, and yet
Because of those new dead
That come into my soul and escape
Confusion of the bed,

Perning in a band,
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.
Or those begotten or... (Read full poem)

Read 3464 times on Poetry Connection.
Fall fell: so that's it for the leaf poetry:

find something to write about I haven't already
written... (Read full poem)

From Songs of a Sun-Lover.
Read 1463 times on Poetry Connection.
Of Poetry I've been accused,
But much more often I have not;

By those who've put me on the spot,
And measured me by rules above
Those I observe with equal love.
An artisan of verse am I,
Of simple sense and humble... (Read full poem)

You whom I could not save
Listen to me.

What strengthened me, for you was... (Read full poem)

Read 1106 times on Poetry Connection.
I met Tu Fu on a mountaintop
in August when the sun was hot.
Under the shade of his big straw hat
his face was sad--

he'd grown wan, exhausted.
Poor old Tu Fu, I thought then,
he must be agonizing... (Read full poem)

Julia, if I chance to die
Ere I print my poetry,

19. Going - written by Philip Larkin
From The New Poetry.
Read 5679 times on Poetry Connection.
There is an evening coming in
Across the fields, one never seen before,
That lights no lamps.
Silken it seems at a distance, yet
When it is drawn up over the knees and breast
It brings no comfort.
Where has the tree gone, that locked
Earth to... (Read full poem)

Read 6765 times on Poetry Connection.
Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after,
And the poetry he invented was easy to understand;

21. On Donne's Poetry - written by Samuel Coleridge
Read 587 times on Poetry Connection.
``With Donne, whose muse on dromedary trots,
Wreathe iron pokers into true-love knots ;
Rhyme's sturdy cripple, fancy's maze and clue,
Wit's forge and fire-blast, meaning's press and screw.'' (Read full poem)

Ideal and beloved voices
of those who are dead, or of those
who are lost to us like the dead.
Sometimes they speak to us in our dreams;
sometimes in thought the mind hears them.
And with their sound for a moment return
other sounds from the first... (Read full poem)

From Anthology of Jewish Poetry.
Read 1171 times on Poetry Connection.
The poem
that I chose for you
is simple,
as are all my singing poems.
It has the trace of a veil,
a little balsam,
and a taste of the honey
of lies.
There is also
the coming end of summer
when heat scorches the meadow
and the quick waters
of the... (Read full poem)

Before the gate has been closed,
before the last quetion is posed,
