  1. Love Poem
    Nims’ “Love Poem” relies much on the use of imagery throughout the text. Extended metaphors run throughout, and are especially prominent when the “darling” (21) of the speaker is being depicted as clumsy. The personification of her “hands shipwreck[ing] vases” (1) and the metaphors “whose palms are bulls in china, burs in linen[…]” (3) exist all within the first stanza of the poem. Nims ... refers to his “dear” (1) with simile such as the one in stanza three (“[…]pale as a dime” (10) ). Though she is a “wrench in clocks and the solar system” (13), another metaphor, her ease with people is often described in terms of “traffic” (15) and smooth movement.

  3. Sonnets -- Poems
    Most of the sonnets are addressed to a beautiful young man, a rival poet, and a dark-haired lady. Readers of the sonnets today commonly refer to these characters as the Fair Youth, the Rival Poet, and the Dark Lady. The narrator expresses admiration for the Fair Youth's beauty, and later has an affair with the Dark Lady. It is not known whether the poems and their characters are fiction or autobiographical. If they are autobiographical, the identities of the characters are open to debate. Various scholars, most notably A. L. Rowse, have attempted to identify the characters with historical individuals.
  4. Poems -- Stories
    By the time Fairwood Press was readying the print edition of his ultra short poems, Arnzen was already at work on 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories (2004). A Stoker finalist, the book earned raves from readers at Amazon.com and from critics at the usual genre-related websites. The book is currently available in trade paperback and ebook editions, but an attempt to make the individual stories available though a new venue that Arnzen calls the ‘Sickolodeon’ has meet with some initial problems.
  5. Short Poems
    Heron Sea, Short Poems of the Chesapeake Bay, is a startlingly moving look into the heart of the poet and the incomparable beauty of the Chesapeake Bay. Author M. Kei, editor of the critically acclaimed 'Fire Pearls,' issues his first collection of poetry, focussing on the Chesapeake Bay area. Composed while crewing aboard one of the last skipjacks on the bay, and living and working on the Bay's shores, each poem is a loving portrait of life and loss at the Head of the Bay.
  6. Poems -- People
    [W]hat would readers pay for these poems? Major publishers were asking the same question about their ebook novels, and it was becoming increasingly evident that some readers were reluctant to pay printed-book prices for digital editions. According to M.J. Rose, best-selling author of Lip Service (2001), ‘People are much more willing to read on the desktop when it doesn't cost them a lot’ (Mayfield), and in early 2001, Pocketbooks tested this proposition by offering digital editions of two of Rose’s titles for $4.95, nine dollars less than their print counterparts. Concurrently, Del Rey offered the ebook edition of its Star Wars title Darth Maul: Saboteur for $1.99 (Mayfield). Seeing the writing on the screen, Arnzen offered his gorelet subscriptions for free.
  7. Odes -- Poems
    The Odes (Latin Carmina) are a collection in four books of Latin lyric poems by Horace. Books 1 to 3 were published in 23 BC. According to the journal Quadrant, they were "unparalleled by any collection of lyric poetry produced before or after in Latin literature." [1] A fourth book, consisting of 15 poems, was published in 13 BC.
  8. Lucretius -- Poems
    De Rerum Natura, Lucretius' great poem interpreting and extolling Epicurean thought, comprises six books in all. Each book is ordered into self-contained sections, designed to develop and drive home a major set of ideas. The first book begins with a joyous (and presumably metaphorical) hymn to Venus, and then presents an introduction to atomic theory. The universe is explained as consisting of an infinite number of atoms, small, indivisible, eternal particles, moving in a space infinite in extent, and periodically uniting into compounds. The second book explains Epicurean ethics and the infamous "atomic swerve". (This is widely considered to represent the chief weakness of Epicurean thought.
  9. Catullus -- Poems
    One of the lovliest of Catullus' poems, this one surprisingly is a virtual Sonnet. The two sections, one for the Roman named boy and the other for his Greek girlfriend, are punctuated by a sneezing Gesundheit in the branches above, and lead to a concluding section which brings everything together with delicate, almost conjugal harmony. Even the feeling of the final couplet of the Shakespearean sonnet is there in the last two verses. To comment would be to gild the lily. ----- Certainly this very poem, widely read since the early Renaissance, was the model for the modern sonnet from the 14 c. on, but the final chapter was written by W E Henley, who in his sonnets "In Hospital" intentionally and emphatically de-emphasizes the final couplet. Hospital life does not end situations with a bang, life simply drags on unnoticed.
  10. Apollinaire -- Poems
    Apollinaire's first collection of poetry was L'enchanteur pourrissant (1909), but it was Alcools (1913) which established his reputation. These poems, influenced in part by the symbolistss, juxtapose the old and the new, using traditional forms and modern imagery.
