One of The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of 2021. Lyrical and unforgettable, part elegy and part memoir, we present a previously unpublished masterpiece from the Beat Generation icon. Simultaneously released with an expanded edition of di Prima's classic Revolutionary Letters on the one-year anniversary of her passing. In the autumn of 1964, Diane di Prima was a young poet living in New York when her dearest friend, dancer, choreographer, and Warhol Factory member, Freddie Herko, leapt from the window of a Greenwich Village apartment to a sudden, dramatic, and tragic death at the age of 29. In her shock and grief, di Prima began a daily practice of writing to Freddie. For a year, she would go to her study each day, light a stick of incense, and type furiously until it burned itself out. The narrative ranges over the decade from 1954—the year di Prima and Herko first met—to 1965, with occasional forays into di Prima's memories of growing up in Brooklyn. Lyrical, elegant, and nakedly honest, Spring and Autumn Annals is a moving tribute to a friendship, and to the extraordinary innovation and accomplishments of the period. Masterfully observed and passionately recorded, it offers a uniquely American portrait of the artist as a young woman in the heyday of bohemian New York City. Praise for Spring and Autumn Annals: "The book is a treasure. Moving between the East Village, San Francisco, Topanga Canyon and Stinson Beach with young children, di Prima's life is unbelievably rich. She studies Greek, writes, prepares dinners and feasts, and co-edits Floating Bear magazine. Diane di Prima is one of the greatest writers of her generation, and this book offers a window into its lives."—Chris Kraus "Extolled by a writer who radically devoted herself to the experiential truth of beauty and intellect, in poverty and grace, in independent dignity, and in the community of Beat consciousness, Diane di Prima's Spring and Autumn Annals arrives as a long-lost charm of illuminated meditations to love, life, death, eros and selflessness. An essential 1960s text of visionary rapaciousness."—Thurston Moore "Freddie Herko wished for a third love before he died; and what a love is in this book's beholding, saying, and release. Di Prima's dancing narrative, propelled and circling at the speed of thought, picking up every name and detailed perception as a rolling tide, fills me with gratitude for the truth of her eye. Nothing gets past it, not even the 'ballet slippers letting in the snow.'"—Ana Božičević "A masterpiece of literary reflection, as quest to archive her dancer friend's life, to make art at all costs and the price dearly paid. Di Prima's observational capacity is profound, her devotion and loyalty assures her deserved place as a national treasure. She generously instills in us the call of poetic remembrance as an act of resistance, and gives voice to the marginalized participants in experimental cultural movements that carried courage in creative rebellion while envisioning freedom of the human spirit. Di Prima’s poetic memoir of the artist journey is a triumph. A must read and reread for years to come."—Karen Finley

After a year away from Paris, Kiki Button is delighted to be back in City of Lights. But danger threatens her return as she is pulled into another spy mission—one that brings her ever closer to the rising fascist threat in Europe. October 1922. Kiki Button has had a rough year at home in Australia after her mother’s sudden death. As the leaves turn gold on the Parisian boulevards, Kiki returns to Europe, more desperately in need of Paris and all its liveliness than ever. As soon as she arrives back in Montparnasse, Kiki takes up her life again, drinking with artists at the Café Rotonde, gossiping with her friends, and finding lovers among the enormous expatriate community. Even her summertime lover from the year before, handsome Russian exile Prince Theo Romanov, is waiting for her. But it’s not all champagne and moonlit trysts. Theo is worried that his brother-in-law is being led astray by political fanatics. Kiki’s boy from home, Tom, is still hiding under a false name. Her friends are in trouble—Maisie has been blackmailed and looks for revenge, Bertie is still lovesick and lonely, and Harry has important information about her mother. And to top it off, she is found by Dr. Fox, her former spymaster, who insists that she work for him once more. Amidst the gaiety of 1920s Paris, Kiki stalks the haunted, the hunted, and people still heartsore from the war. She parties with princes and Communist comrades, she wears ballgowns with Chanel and the Marchesa Casati, she talks politics with Hemingway and poetry with Sylvia Beach, and sips tea with Gertrude Stein. She confronts the men who would bring Europe into another war. And as she uses her gossip columnist connections for her mission, she also meets people who knew her mother, and can help to answer her burning question: why did her mother leave England all those years ago?

Autumn, the leaves turn color and the rain hits the windowpane all day long. We are bored looking outside the window and sleeping with the soothing rain sounds. There is the walk in autumn in solitude and the crisp autumn breeze against the background of beautiful autumnal color! A carpenter on a winter vespertide is chopping yule logs for the fireplace. The fire is rekindling all day and night while we relish a cup of hot coffee in our rocking chair. Smoke rising on the chimney rekindled against the cold of the winter air. What do we do but sequester in a cottage or the family room to dwell the winter months in readership by the fireside and cherish the decorated house filled with greeneries and ornaments. Various birds, the snowbirds perched on the hedge ready to foray its prey! The city life this wintry time is bustling with people out shopping or chilling at the pub or touring the city, just looking out the window that is snowing!

In Autumn written by Eric Weiss and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009-10 with Poetry categories.

In his first collection of poems, Eric Weiss explores humanity and nature as two separate entities and yet completely of one essence. These poems take the reader on a kaleidoscopic ride of emotion and imagery in the landscape of our living, be it the people we know or knew or the sights that we see. The lessons that we must learn and then teach to others are beautifully expressed in these poems. It is with simple and surreal honesty that Weiss's poems bring wonder and awe of the everyday occasions that we so ordinarily pass through into such focus. It is with profound thought that we will now walk with our senses in full bloom, fully realized through the imagery of In Autumn. In Autumn stands as a reminder to us all of the conscious breaths of our being and wraps them into the art of our world. Whether the reader is inspired by a grasshopper that ignites a profound thought, the mystery discovered in a river's name, or the suspense the sky brings to the art a season paints, the emotion of the intimate poetry included in this collection will resonate for all who experience it.

In the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, late autumn. On the banks of the Cangling River, Linjiang City. Before twilight came, the lights on both sides of the river were already lit up in the peaceful and prosperous times. There are inevitably a few places of darkness in that Binfan, and there are a few small and sloppy alleys. When you look up, there are still lights under the sky, but I don't know whether it is the hanging stars or the hustle and bustle of the river bank. . Entering from the rusty iron door at the end of the alley, it is a spacious courtyard. A large number of iron barrels are neatly placed next to the walls on both sides. A cobblestone path in the middle leads to the big house with broken windows. . This is a concealed abandoned warehouse. Since it has been abandoned, there are always some people with bad intentions who use it for other purposes. For example, this gentleman wore a black brand-name suit with his shirt open. The collar of his white shirt was stained a little, and his yellow cuffs were missing buttons. A circle of beard around his mouth had not been shaved for a long time. Pingyang's inverted state.

In her shock and grief, di Prima began a daily practice of writing to Freddie. For a year, she would go to her study each day, light a stick of incense, and type furiously until it burned itself out. Later, di Prima would take up this stream-of-consciousness manuscript and make it into something for others to read. The result is an eloquent ode to her friend; to the constellation of writers, artists, and revolutionaries who made up their community; and to the chaos and struggle of lives lived fully in the pursuit of personal and artistic goals while the world around them hurtles toward changes that will soon upend everything. The narrative ranges over the decade from 1954—the year di Prima and Herko first met—to 1965, with occasional forays into di Prima's memories of growing up in Brooklyn. Lyrical, elegant, and nakedly honest, Spring and Autumn Annals is a moving tribute to a friendship, and to the extraordinary innovation and accomplishments of the period. Masterfully observed and passionately recorded, it offers a uniquely American portrait of the artist as a young woman in the heyday of bohemian New York City.
