Bartlett's Poems for Occasionsby Geoffrey O'Brien
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Bartlett's has at last created a collection of the world's greatest poems, organized for every occasion, public and private, from birth to death and everything in between. Just as Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is the volume everyone reaches for when seeking an elusive citation, Bartlett's Poems for Occasions is the ultimate resource for finding the poem that will hit just the right note for that special family milestone, public address, or private moment of contemplation. What poems do you read when a country has gone to war? To mark the beginning of a new career or the end of an old one? To celebrate a new love or console a grieving and bereft family? Organized in three parts — the Cycles of Nature, the Phases of Human Life, and the Enduring Themes — the book is the perfect vehicle to translate the wisdom and expression of the greatest works of poetry into our everyday experience. Among the many poets included here are Anna Akhmatova, Charles Baudelaire, Elizabeth Bishop, William Blake, Catullus, Emily Dickinson, Goethe, Federico García Lorca, Herman Melville, Ogden Nash, Li Po, Rilke, Sappho, Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas, and Edith Wharton. Including over 500 poems written in more than a dozen different languages, poems dating from ancient Egypt to the present day, Bartlett's Poems for Occasions is a resource that will sustain and uplift the soul. Synopsis:Bartlett's Poems for Occasions, an entertaining, thought-provoking companion to the bestselling Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, is the book to turn to for any circumstance-from birth to death and everything in between. Under the direction of esteemed poet and writer Geoffrey O'Brien, Bartlett's Poems for Occasions will inspire you to turn to poetry to celebrate a new baby or marriage, toast a colleague, cheer a graduate, honor a birthday, deliver a eulogy, or add zest to a holiday party. It is the perfect solution to the age-old question, What should I say? Synopsis:Bartlett's has at last created a collection of the world's greatest poems, organized for every occasion, public and private, from birth to death and everything in between.
