Korean Classical Sijo Poetry Translated into English

Sijo is Korea's distinct form of poetry that has poetically followed the rhythm of the country's tranquil nature and turbulent history, giving expression to the enduring spirit of her people. Since its origins in the ancient Goryeo Kingdom as a short lyrical form of three dramatic lines sung to music, sijo flourished during the Joseon Kingdom that followed. Joseon's greatest king, King Sejong, fulfilled a need for the fledgling nation by scientifically creating the Hangeul writing system for the benefit of all people. With Hangeul being the ideal means to properly express in writing the precise sounds and rhythm of the Korean language, the poets of Joseon, from commoners, entertainers, scholars and royalty, composed a wide range of sijo poetry over the centuries. Finding expression as a literary form, these poetic contributions have been collected and passed down to become the classics of Korean sijo poetry enjoyed today. The rhythm of sijo poetry has journeyed in the hearts of the Korean people through the centuries. Keeping this enduring essence at heart within this volume of translations is the rhythm unique to sijo. Just as the rhythm was essential in guiding the poets of old to find poetic expression, the essential guiding principle of translating the classics of Korean sijo into English has been keeping to the ideal rhythmic pattern of sijo's traditional poetic form. Beyond strictly translating, each sijo was carefully recomposed to be reborn into English. Following the rhythm so essential to this poetic form, the poetic imagery and meanings of words were sequenced as closely as possible in English to keep the dramatic progression and pacing as the respective poet originally intended to inspire.

Scott Gustafson

From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include the very well known (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and the somewhat familiar (Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen). The truly fantastic pictures speak more than a thousand words as artist Scott Gustafson riffs in paint on themes present and imagined in each verse.

Nursery rhymes are classic, and so are some of the artist's interpretations. But other paintings are surprises, like an anthropomorphic baking bear, a pelican sea captain, and Peter Piper as a pug on two legs. Welcome to a world where "There Was a Crooked Man" is not about a hunchbacked senior but rather a madcap, double-jointed dandy who might be "crooked" in more ways than one. Jack (Be Nimble) is a leaping cricket and Yankee Doodle a fun-loving chipmunk on a fullsize horse.

Scott Gustafson's unique style, influenced by legendary book illustrators Arthur Rackham and N. C. Wyeth, makes this a volume to be treasured by children and illustrated-book lovers of all ages.

Heavy Hardcover (2 to 4 lbs)

From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include Mother Goose favourites including Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Queen of Hearts, Ride a Cock Horse, and more, illustrated in detail by Scott Gustafson.

The Joy of Words

Michaela MacColl

One day, fifteen-year-old Emily Dickinson meets a mysterious, handsome young man. Surprisingly, he doesn't seem to know who she or her family is. And even more surprisingly, he playfully refuses to divulge his name. Emily enjoys her secret flirtation with Mr. "Nobody" until he turns up dead in her family's pond. She's stricken with guilt. Only Emily can discover who this enigmatic stranger was before he's condemned to be buried in an anonymous grave. Her investigation takes her deep into town secrets, blossoming romance, and deadly danger. Exquisitely written and meticulously researched, this novel celebrates Emily Dickinson's intellect and spunk in a page-turner of a book that will excite fans of mystery, romance, and poetry alike.

Poetry. African American Studies. Latino/Latina Studies. "Up jumps the boogie. That's almost all one needs to say. Murillo is headbreakingly brilliant. I didn't have a favorite poet for this year: Now I do. But with this kind of verve and intelligence and ferocity Murillo just might be a favorite for many years to come."--Junot Díaz



"The feel of now lives in John Murillo's UP JUMP THE BOOGIE, but it's tempered by bows to the tradition of soulful music and oral poetry. The lived dimensions embodied in this collection say that here's an earned street knowledge and a measured intellectual inquiry that dare to live side by side, in one unique voice. The pages of UP JUMP THE BOOGIE breathe and sing; the tributes and cultural nods are heartfelt, and in these honest poems no one gets off the hook."--Yusef Komunyakaa

A New Favorite Poem Project Anthology

A multimedia collection of poems introduced by American readers, featuring a DVD including a video introduction by Robert Pinsky.

For a reader unaccustomed to reading poetry, or who has fallen away from the custom, this collection offers an inviting way into the art, or back into it. For readers devoted to poetry, it offers illuminating examples of the infinitely various ways a poem reaches a reader.

In both the book and the videos on the accompanying DVD, poems by Sappho, Shakespeare, Keats, Whitman, and Dickinson as well as contemporary poets are introduced by people from across the United States--a construction worker, a Supreme Court justice, a glassblower, a marine--each of whom speaks about his or her connection to the poem. Their comments are variously poignant, funny, heartening, tart, penetrating, and eccentric, showing some of the ways poetry is alive for American readers. An Invitation to Poetry will inspire a fresh experience of poetry's pleasure and insight.

For centuries, poets have been ensnared - as one of their number, Andrew Marvell put it - by the beauty of flowers. Then, from the middle of the eighteenth century onward, that enjoyment was enriched by a surge of popular interest in botany. Besides exploring the relationship between poetic and scientific responses to the green world within the context of humanity's changing concepts of its own place in the ecosphere, Molly Mahood considers the part that flowering plants played in the daily lives and therefore in the literary work of a number of writers who could all be called poet-botanists: Erasmus Darwin, George Crabbe, John Clare, John Ruskin and D. H. Lawrence. A concluding chapter looks closely at the meanings, old or new, that plants retained or obtained in the violent twentieth century.

Series of poetry from James McMichael called If you can tell. Hardcover in near perfect condition. Inside in perfect condition.

Poems

If You Can Tell, the new book of poems by James McMichael, a finalist for the National Book Award in 2006, takes up what it might mean that the word was in the beginning, before which there may not have been "empty / space, / even, / nor the thought of it." A baby is conceived after a verbal exchange between his parents. He's born and learns to talk. Told that the grandfather he cherishes has died, he unknowingly silences any memory of the man. To his Sunday school class a few years later, he tells the lie that he himself was born in China. The boy grows up into a vexing faith. Though he expects his own death will be final, God is no less God to him in the life he's been given and must in time give back.
