Free Download Jon Pineda, "Little Anodynes: Poems "
English | ISBN: 1611175259 | 2015 | 72 pages | EPUB, PDF | 252 KB + 1025 KB
WINNER OF THE 2016 LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA LITERARY AWARD FOR POETRY The third collection by the prize-winning Asian American poet Jon Pineda, Little Anodynes is a sequence of lyrical, personal narratives that continue Pineda’s exploration of his biracial identity, the haunting loss of his sister, and the joys―and fears―of fatherhood. With its title inspired by Emily Dickinson, Little Anodynes offers its poems as "respites," as breaks in the reader’s life that serve as opportunities for discovery and healing. Pineda deftly uses shortened lines and natural pauses to create momentum, which allows the poems to play out in a manner evocative of fine cinema, as if someone had left a projector running and these narratives were flickering and blending endlessly in an experience shared by the viewer, the storyteller, and the story itself.

"Chicago Poems" is an early collection of poems by American writer, poet, and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Sandburg. Published in 1916 and his first by a mainstream ✅Publisher, this collection was a critical success and began Sandburg’s career as a notable writer. Sandburg was a champion of an American form of social realism that celebrated American people, industry, and agriculture. He expressed this sentiment in an easy-to-read and plain-speaking free verse, a style that is often compared to Walt Whitman. Sandburg began working on the "Chicago Poems" in 1912, after moving to the city from Milwaukee with his wife and their young children. He embraced the gritty realism of the city, its important and central location to American commerce, and the hardworking people who kept the industrial machine running. Lyrical, soulful, compassionate, and intimately human, Sandburg earned his reputation as the "poet of the people" with his loving treatment of the common man and his struggles. Among the dozens of poems in this honest and touching collection are many of his most famous, such as "Chicago", "Fog", "Who Am I?", and "Under the Harvest Moon". This collection by one of America’s most gifted poets is a moving meditation on love, loss, war, immigration, loneliness, and the beauty of the natural world.
