Book Description
Addressing objective and subjective views of the self and the world in philosophy and poetry, this collection brings together a chronology of John Koethe's thoughts on the connections between the two forms and makes a significant contribution to unsettling the oppositions that separate them. The essays traverse the philosophical conception of the self in modern poetry and locate connections between poets including William Wordsworth, Wallace Stevens, and John Ashbery alongside philosophers including Kant, Schopenhauer, and Wittgenstein. Koethe pays special attention to romantic poetry and notions of the sublime, which he maps onto subjective individual experience and the objective perspective on the natural world. Koethe further explores this theme in a new essay on romanticism and the sublime in relation to the mind-body problem. Using an associative and impressionistic style to write philosophically about poetry, Koethe defends his own approach that such writing cannot and should not aim for the rigor of philosophical argumentation.

Book Description
Essential reading for students and anyone interested in the great philosophers, this book opened up appreciation of Martin Heidegger beyond the confines of philosophy to the reaches of poetry. In Heidegger's thinking, poetry is not a mere amusement or form of culture but a force that opens up the realm of truth and brings man to the measure of his being and his world.

Book Description
Originally published in 1966. Stevens' Poetry of Thought is the first full-length study of Wallace Stevens as a thinker. With original insight, Mr. Doggett provides many detailed interpretations of individual poems in examining Steven's imagery. This is a pertinent treatment of Stevens' inherent affinity with the philosophic imagination of his time, showing how firmly this poet was linked through his images with the leading thinkers of the age just passed—especially Schopenhauer, Bergson, Santayana, Whitehead, William James, Jung, and Cassirer. The clear and perceptive reading of a great many of the poems in this book should illuminate the work of Stevens for all the readers who admire his language and wish for further insight into its significance. Beyond being a definitive exposition of Steven' poetry and a meaningful act of faith in the intellectual sophistication of Stevens, this is an exciting study of the human imagination which satisfies the need for distinction between poetry and philosophy while illuminating one by the other. Mr. Doggett demonstrates how the poetry of Stevens is a representative voice of the ideas of his age and illustrates Stevens own statement: "Poets and philosophers often think alike, as we shall see." Wallace Stevens is now recognized as one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century. His first volume of poems, Harmonium was published in 1923, and since then seven volumes of his work have appeared. He was awarded the Bollingen Prize in Poetry of the Yale University Library for 1949. In 1951 he won the National Book Award in Poetry for The Auroras of Autumn. The Collected Works of Wallace Stevens was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1955. From 1916 to his death in 1955 he was associated with the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company, of which he became vice-president in 1934.

Book Description
For years, Earl Patterson was his own worst enemy. Though he was able to overcome numerous obstacles in life and maintain a high opinion of himself, when it came to playing football, rocking rhymes, and excelling in school, he tricked himself into believing that mediocrity was OK, and bullied himself into looking at the world through a warped lens set to someone else's view of the world. It wasn't until later in life that Patterson was able to correct his vision of the world, and of himself, and approach life's challenges as paradigm shifts that can ultimately make or break us in the end. Choosing the former approach, and calling upon his years of experience as the leader of a rap/rock group, Patterson set down his life experiences in poetry, to help others overcome obstacles and inspire them to stop bullying themselves. The poems that comprise this compelling collection are honest, raw, and real, and they flow together seamlessly to deliver both a highly personal story and a set of universal truths that will comfort readers and give them a sense of freedom, encouragement, and hope. Poignant, powerful, and profound, Sought Thoughts is a must-read for people who want to expand their horizons through candor and rhyme.

Book Description
THIS BOOK WRITTEN by Edwin Debiew is a book of suddenthoughts which came over his mind within the last few months.Edwin wanted to capture those thoughts in writing and decided to try hishand at poetry. Edwin Debiew is a poet who thinks outside of the normalpoetic structure and conforms to his own rules of writing poetry. He writesfrom his impromptu thoughts and allows the poems to develop in his mindwhile formulating the final product. Edwin's ink pen adapts a mind of itsown and cuts like a sword when needed, and paints like a new brush at times.Edwin creates poems just like a lyricist who recites verse after verse-usingvarious rhyme schemes. Poetry defined is a freedom of expression that is fluidlike water. Simply meaning, poetry can mean many things to many people,but the greatest thing about the meaning, is that it is whatever you want it tobe. Of course, there has to be some grammatical and thematic cohesion, butthe meaning can span from A to Z, if your mind flows freely. The process ofaligning words concertedly to arrive at a point with the intention to generatefeelings is a good definition! This is Edwin Debiew's definition of poetry.His new book, Impromptu Poetry, "Thoughts On My Mind" possessesvarious thought provoking themes, while showing a variety of rhymeschemes. Edwin uses real life examples of joy and daily issues and turns theminto short poetic stories for readers to build upon. From short tanaga's andclerihew's, Edwin flows long with "The Opposite of Invictus" and "R&BSongs and Memories."Moreover, Impromptu Poetry is Edwin's story as he progresses in life. Hispoems expounds on past experiences, perceptions by others and relationshipswith others of the world. Edwin gives credence in love poems for women-todeclare their great place in society. Impromptu Poetry will make many laugh,think, invoke inner feelings and motivate and guide people through themind of a man who continues to strive for the best life has to offer!

Book Description
A poetry collection that both illustrates what mindfulness is and encourages young, growing minds to be present, from poet and educator Georgia Heard, with art by Isabel Roxas. Poets have long observed the world in a mindful way. They point out beauty we might have missed, draw our attention to our inner thoughts, and call us to see our society in new ways. But as daily life become more and more chaotic, children grow distracted. According to the CDC, 9.4% of children have ADHD and 7% have anxiety/depression. And these numbers continue to climb. As treatment doctors recommend healthy eating, physical activity, plenty of sleep, and mindfulness techniques. Georgia Heard is a poet and educator—and she has long had her own meditation practice. In My Thoughts Are Clouds, she uses poetry to demonstrate what mindfulness is and gives kids—and their parents and teachers—accessible ways to learn mindfulness tools.

Book Description
From the distinguished polymath George Steiner comes a profound and illuminating vision of the inseparability of Western philosophy and its living language. With his hallmark forceful discernment, George Steiner presents in The Poetry of Thought his magnum opus: an examination of more than two millennia of Western culture, staking out his claim for the essential oneness of great thought and great style. Sweeping yet precise, moving from essential detail to bracing illustration, Steiner spans the entire history of philosophy in the West as it entwines with literature, finding that, as Sartre stated, in all philosophy there is “a hidden literary prose.” “The poetic genius of abstract thought,” Steiner believes, “is lit, is made audible. Argument, even analytic, has its drumbeat. It is made ode. What voices the closing movements of Hegel’s Phenomenology better than Edith Piaf’s non de non, a twofold negation which Hegel would have prized? This essay is an attempt to listen more closely.”
