Lyric poetry has long been regarded as the intensely private, emotional expression of individuals, powerful precisely because it draws readers into personal worlds. But who, exactly, is the "I" in a lyric poem, and how is it created? In Lyric Poetry, Mutlu Blasing argues that the individual in a lyric is only a virtual entity and that lyric poetry takes its power from the public, emotional power of language itself. In the first major new theory of the lyric to be put forward in decades, Blasing proposes that lyric poetry is a public discourse deeply rooted in the mother tongue. She looks to poetic, linguistic, and psychoanalytic theory to help unravel the intricate historical processes that generate speaking subjects, and concludes that lyric forms convey both personal and communal emotional histories in language. Focusing on the work of such diverse twentieth-century American poets as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, and Anne Sexton, Blasing demonstrates the ways that the lyric "I" speaks, from first to last, as a creation of poetic language.

Lyrical is a book of poetry with several color illustrations. All poems are by James Strazza, a music producer, songwriter and talented musician who lost his ability to make music or use a computer due to a very severe ME/CFS, a neurological condition. Strazza turned to writing poetry by speaking to his phone. The result is powerful, revelatory poetry that explores chronic illness and disability, love and loss, truth and authenticity. Strazza's groundbreaking poetry gives a piercing voice to all who suffer in silence, in the dark... and the rest of us, finally, can't look away.

When I first decided to try publishing my poems and art, I knew nothing about the literary publishing industry. I take great pleasure in presenting my favorite poems and the art designed specifically for this book, which is published under iUniverse. I thought of writing quality poems, which is why all the texts and illustrations in this assemblage are all original works of mine intended to reach a wide audience. This book is a collection of fifty impressionistic pictures, one hundred fifty lyrical poems from the Garden of Nature and Love in English, and one hundred fifty similar lyrical poems in Romanian.

Durling's edition of Petrarch's poems has become the standard. Readers have praised the translation of the authoritative text as graceful and accurate, conveying a real understanding of what this difficult poet is saying. The literalness of the prose translation makes this book especially useful to students who lack a full command of Italian.

The Ottoman Empire was one of the most significant forces in world history and yet little attention is paid to its rich cultural life. For the people of the Ottoman Empire, lyrical poetry was the most prized literary activity. People from all walks of life aspired to be poets. Ottoman poetry was highly complex and sophisticated and was used to express all manner of things, from feelings of love to a plea for employment. This collection offers free verse translations of 75 lyric poems from the mid-fourteenth to the early twentieth centuries, along with the Ottoman Turkish texts and, new to this expanded edition, photographs of printed, lithographed, and hand-written Ottoman script versions of several of the texts--a bonus for those studying Ottoman Turkish. Biographies of the poets and background information on Ottoman history and literature complete the volume.
