《给孩子的诗园;外国童诗卷》是"诗三百"中的一本，邀请屠岸先生主编，另两本中国童诗邀请金波先生主编，古诗诗卷邀请叶嘉莹先生主编。三位先生都是德高望重的大家，在业界有很高的威望和学识。屠岸先生是我国著名的文学翻译家、作家、编辑，他在1950年翻译出版中国第*一部莎士比亚十四行诗，而从四十年代起屠岸就对济慈的诗情有独钟，不仅因为济慈用美来抗衡社会的丑恶，与屠岸的价值观相吻合，1997年出版的屠岸译《济慈诗选》成为他译诗生涯的高峰，并获得了第二届鲁迅文学奖翻译奖。屠岸先生认为译诗与翻译其他门类相比对翻译者要求更高，不仅要将原作的形式传达过来，更重要的是要传达原作的神韵，本书中收录先生译童诗就充满童趣又内蕴深邃。
《给孩子们的诗园;中国童诗卷》是"给孩子们的诗园"系列中的一本，由金波老师选编，高昌老师赏析。全书按照时间顺序分为三辑，精选了百余首中国童诗，诗歌的创作时间从1919年延续至今，囊括了现当代著名诗人的经典篇目。所选童诗以适合孩子阅读为根本出发点，同时以经典性和优美性为根本要求，将为孩子的阅读生活开启美的大门。赏析部分文字优美、想象新奇、境界空灵，解读细致，与这些童诗产生了迷人的"共鸣"。
书中所选诗歌覆盖五大洲，时间跨度逾400年，经典隽永与活泼童趣并存，名家诗选名家译，莎士比亚、斯蒂文森、雪莱、惠特曼、罗大里、金子美玲、冰心、戴望舒、任溶溶等汇集一册。《给孩子们的诗园-古诗卷》由古诗词研究大家叶嘉莹先生主编，当代诗人、《中华诗词》执行主编高昌赏析、注释。具有很强的针对性。根据孩子的阅读需求和兴趣爱好，在浩瀚的古诗中进行遴选；根据孩子们对古诗的认识理解和把握程度，进行了恰如其分、言短情深、言简意赅的注释和赏析。这本书眼光独到，注释精准，赏析精简，整本书洋溢着传统文化和中国文字与意境的真淳和美感。

MÃGICO PONTÃN SOBRE EL VACÃO El mejor lugar para matarse por amor, nada menos, fue escogido por Abel Germán como punto de arranque para las andadas de "Altos techos de asbesto", un poemario (aunque yo lo veo como un solo poema, extenso y regio) en torno al destino, la murria, el fracaso de la existencia... Claro que la roca Léucade fue el mejor lugar para matarse sólo en tiempos de la Antigua Grecia. Hoy podrÃamos hallar lugar en cualquier parte, a cada paso, donde, según el poeta, la realidad tiene ese peso de futura ruina.Pero no son el suicidio ni el drama de morir por amor los que nutren esta magistral pieza poética. Por más que algún sustancioso motivo debió tener su autor para iniciarla aludiendo a la isla que sirvió de trampolÃn hacia la eternidad para la poeta Safo de Lesbos. Entonces, como el drama amoroso no alinea entre los asuntos del libro, podrÃamos pensar que Abel escogiera el lugar como un reparo a la leyenda. Téngase en cuenta que en la fecha de su presunto sacrificio en Léucade, Safo andaba ya por los 70 años, y no es habitual que un septuagenario se mate por amor, únicamente quiero decir, sin otras razones. Ni siquiera creo que alguien cuerdo lo haga, al margen de su edad. Ya nos advertÃa Pavese (antes de suicidarse por amor, a los 42 años) que nadie se mata por amor, sino porque un amor, cualquier amor, revela nuestra desnudez ante las miserias de la vida.Y justo por conducto de esa desnudez podrÃamos hallar quizás algún engarce entre la inmemorial leyenda de Safo y una obra de hoy con tan elevado aliento: Coso al aire esa roca y la figura de esa mujer que/ sigue entre los papeles/ más viejos del mundo/ e imagino que, asÃ, el presente toma cuerpo.A la manera de aquellos clásicos de la épica que enhebraban largos poemas para ser escuchados de un tirón, el autor de "Altos techos de asbesto" nos introduce en una especie de sueño, o de insomne delirio tal vez, y nos lo va describiendo a pormenor, con reminiscencias de epopeya, sólo que aquà no señorean las hazañas del héroe, sino apenas el melancólico viacrucis de un poeta frente a su menguada subsistencia: Ulises, de lo que se trata es de no volver, si no/ es otra cosa: acaso turismo... Otra cosa, asimismo, y especialmente distinguida, es este poemario (o poema), escrito como para leer sin pausas ni postergaciones, toda vez que su organismo acústico no da respiro. Cada verso está diestramente ordenado en función del conjunto, con un sentido de totalidad que le confiere virtudes excepcionales. Es el summum de la poesÃa pujando por develar, incluso más allá de las palabras, alguna otra realidad indecible: La cuestión (cercana, terrenal, práctica) es/ el desasosiego... De modo que, como debe ser, los medios derivan/ en fines./ Paseo por la cornisa para despistar./ El sol se ha ido y eso ayuda./ Tapono con el dedo la hemorragia./ Nada sugiere que esa lobreguez, / el dedo metido en el culo del cielo y/ el viejo tras la ventana acrediten algo... José Hugo FernándezMiami, diciembre de 2023.

Laughter is composed of four epic poems - The Future: this poem centered on a divine group that used her divine plans to change humanity for better in her nation with the power of the Creator of humanities. This helps to credit the collective ideas and efforts of a group that help her nation from barbaric transactions of power by the notorious knowledgeable personalities. Message of the Forest: this points out factors and solutions that are initiated between mortals and immortals - ignorantly, unadulterated activities of mortals do not allow divine guidance from immortal beings. Ancestors gain prominence and better chance of living if the mortals are promoting and taking part of their customs on earth; this commands good relationship between the humans and their ancestors. In the book two and four, all poems point out differences in humanity, and how the differences can be handled without yielding negative results, are submitted along. Additionally, tangible human developments to enable remain dominant among other creatures are pointed out.My Experience is an epic poem. It describes experiences I gained from different types of people I encountered - the experiences were gathered in one of my most difficult times. The experiences will, in always change people' lives if only the careful studies and assimilations are taken with prime priority. The last stanza touches the experience I have about humanity on facts that show how politicians of opposition parties want to discharge their children for marriage to one another.Agents of Embezzlement is a poem that reviews the secrets of our people who bought ideas of siphoning public funds once opportune to positions. It happens to know how disappointing it is as our people who are privileged to positions of all kinds learn how to embezzle than the primary duty and mission. Other poems that will enable us know much about what is around, are equally enlisted in this book.

Los textos que integran la presente edición, dispersos en la vasta obra de Bloy (obra, en lo esencial, de ensayista, diarista, apologista católico, polemista, historiógrafo y, en menor medida, cuentista y novelista), fueron recogidos por su viuda, Jeanne Molbech-Bloy, para su publicación en libro en 1928. Los doce primeros de ellos, Les mois, o Les douze filles d'Eugène Grasset, inspirados en las ilustraciones realizadas por el artista Eugène Grasset para un calendario de las grandes tiendas à la Belle Jardinière, provienen de su libro Quatre ans de captivité à Cochons-sur-Marne, tercer tomo del Diario personal de Bloy, que en versión especialmente preparada se publicó en 1905; la Lamentation de l'épée pertenece a su libro Léon Bloy devant les cochons, de 1894; los dos poemas que componen Les Vendanges, escritos para acompañar una serie de litografÃas de su amigo, el pintor belga Henry de Roux (aunque sólo el primero se publicó de ese modo), provienen del primer tomo de su Diario, Le Mendiant ingrat, de 1898; finalmente, el Ãpithalame constituye el capÃtulo sexto de la segunda parte de la novela La Femme pauvre.
Sleep, Awaken My Soul, is a mystical collection of poetry centred around the dreaming mind. Within this book, you will find a gateway, a mysterious portal of colour and wonder. Dare enter, and you will find yourself in the realm of dreams. A sometimes emotional, but often weird and mercurial world, where Time and Space are lawless, and Imagination runs riot. Each line of verse and poetic prose delves into dream philosophy, theory, spirituality, and mythology, creating a collection that will (hopefully) change the light in which you view your dreams.

"Di noi, stagioni" è la raccolta di poesie che chiudela collana Di me, di te, di noi.Come per i libri precedenti, il principio ispiratore del titolo è l'idea che l'umanità sia un'esperienza emotivamente collettiva, dove il me non può esistere in assenza di un te dialogico che lo trasformi in noi.Il te, in questo caso, è la natura e le sue vicende, legate indissolubilmente allo scandire del tempo e al susseguirsi degli eventi.Da qui il sottotitolo Stagioni.In questo libro ho cercato di riprodurre in versi, in maniera più o meno fedele, l'andamento cronologico delle stagioni e il loro ripercuotersi emotivo sul cuore della gente.Il tempo, con il suo fluire, il suo rincorrersi continuo di partenze e ritorni, è la molla che attiva le morti e le rinascite naturali che poi riverberano, con un andamento affine, nel cuore di chi scrive.Di noi, stagioni è un viaggio all'interno della natura, dei suoi elementi e del loro incessante dialogare con il me narrante in un percorso felice che porta, fra cadute e risalite, ad una nuova conoscenza di sé, a quel noi universale che, non a caso, chiude il titolo della raccolta.à un noi che è il risultato del viaggio del poeta dentro di sé (Di me), del suo cammino assieme agli altri (Di te) e del loro costruire insieme un noi in continuo rapporto evolutivo con l'ambiente in cui viaggia.Un noi poetico che, come una radice, perfetta sintesi di adattabilità , "cambia fiore ogni stagione, ma non per questo prova meno amore".
In Liminal Verses, Bruce Alderman invites readers into an intimate, 30-year dialogue with the sacred and the self, set in the rich theater of the natural world. The poems span four significant periods of Bruce's life, capturing moments of transformation and transition. From the struggles and mystical awakenings at a private Christian university, through years of immersion in the wilderness of the Southwest, travels across Asia, to more recent times of family life and teaching, these poems serve as waypoints on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual exploration. They mark occasions where the mundane meets the mystical, where life and death intertwine, and where joy and sorrow coexist. Liminal Verses is a celebration of the poetic process as 'threshold play, ' where poetry becomes an act of in-dwelling and intimacy with the world. The collection reflects a progression from grappling with the limitations of the self in the face of the sacred, to opening to awe and wonder, and finally to finding comfort in the liminal spaces where boundaries blur and dualities dissolve. It is an invitation to readers to join in this celebration of being, to meet at the crossroads of the visible and invisible, and to partake in the ongoing conversation at the edges of our shared human experience.
