Blood of Their Blood: An Anthology of Polish-American Poetry

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (13094 ratings)

Description:"The aim of this anthology is simple: to present a collection of good poetry by Polish-American poets writing at the present time. Readers of contemporary poetry, Polish-Americans, and even the general public will, I hope, find it of interest; for the more contact between poets and the public, the better for both. Poetry, after all, still brings us beauty and wisdom, though twentieth-century poetry may do so in surprising ways. It helps us understand our lives.The poets themselves span the broad philosophical spectrum found in contemporary American poetry, from the emphasis on traditional Western European cultural values in the poetry of Frank Cebulski and William Doreski to the emphasis on the individual as the primary source of art in Charles Bukowski. Between these extremes fall the rest of the poets. Diane Wakoski, Mark Pawlak, and Terry Kennedy strive to elevate their personal lives into myths. So do Martin J. Rosenblum, Joseph Lisowski, and Leonard Kress. Barbara Szerlip, John Gogol, and Laura Louise Ulewicz look for the universal less in their own lives and more in the life around them: Szerlip in historical figures, Gogol in American Indians, and Ulewicz in the life of the river. Of particular interest are the poets who treat their specific Polish heritage as a symbol of the past they hope to recapture in their attempts to understand the present--Jerome Rothenberg, Maxine Silverman, Phil Pawlowski, Karl Kulikowski, Stephen Lewandowski, and Mark Pawlak. Finally there are poets of fantasy and surrealism: Donald Finkel, John Minczeski, John Calvin Rezmerski, John Pijewski, and Victor Contoski. Yet even these writers who build fantasies do so on solid reality." -- Victor Contoski(From rear cover)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
