Ghana: Conversation & Development' is a book about the cry, frustrations, and aspirations of the good people of Ghana. It nourishes, refreshes and equips the political and economic mindsets of the Ghanaian people and attempts to serve as a channel of communication to the new President and his administration after December 2008 General Elections. Many issues have been discussed including social, political and economic issues. This book critically analyses how Ghana, our motherland would be able to meet her millennium objectives at the shortest possible time. Road accidents in the country seem to spiral out of control, it is very pathetic how hundreds of Ghanaians lost their love ones because of road accidents especially during Easter and Christmas seasons. Time is now due to stop people even policy makers taken advantage of funerals just to show off their wealth. This little book also provides solid recommendations on how this canker', which is slowly, but far eating into our fabrics will be solved once and for all. Can Ghana achieve any meaningful economic growth without the contributions of our well-cherished traditional rulers? Can the Ghana oil of commercial quantity find at the Cape Three Points in the Western Region be a blessing or a curse? The book* is not just a must read, it is entirely pleasurable and the commentaries are well written. It contains great human insight interwoven into the twists and turns of the dreams of the loving people of Ghana. I deemed this necessary believing that the new President and his administration, our traditional rulers, policy makers, schools, colleges and students in higher academic learning would make optimum use of it. Read the materials thoroughly, think carefully, dig deeper, make the necessary sacrifices, adopt some wisdom and make yourself and Africa very proud. PK OPOKU BONNA, LLB., LLM

"David Orr is no starry-eyed cheerleader for contemporary poetry; Orr’s a critic, and a good one. . . . Beautiful & Pointless is a clear-eyed, opinionated, and idiosyncratic guide to a vibrant but endangered art form, essential reading for anyone who loves poetry, and also for those of us who mostly just admire it from afar." —Tom Perrotta Award-winning New York Times Book Review poetry columnist David Orr delivers an engaging, amusing, and stimulating tour through the world of poetry. With echoes of Francine Prose’s Reading Like a Writer, Orr’s Beautiful & Pointless offers a smart and funny approach to appreciating an art form that many find difficult to embrace.

No art has been denounced as often as poetry. It's even bemoaned by poets: "I, too, dislike it," wrote Marianne Moore. "Many more people agree they hate poetry," Ben Lerner writes, "than can agree what poetry is. I, too, dislike it and have largely organized my life around it and do not experience that as a contradiction because poetry and the hatred of poetry are inextricable in ways it is my purpose to explore." In this inventive and lucid essay, Lerner takes the hatred of poetry as the starting point of his defense of the art. He examines poetry's greatest haters (beginning with Plato's famous claim that an ideal city had no place for poets, who would only corrupt and mislead the young) and both its greatest and worst practitioners, providing inspired close readings of Keats, Dickinson, McGonagall, Whitman, and others. Throughout, he attempts to explain the noble failure at the heart of every truly great and truly horrible poem: the impulse to launch the experience of an individual into a timeless communal existence. In The Hatred of Poetry, Lerner has crafted an entertaining, personal, and entirely original examination of a vocation no less essential for being impossible.

A masterful work by a master poet, this brilliant summation of poetry and human nature will speak to all readers who long to place poetry in their lives. How to Read a Poem is an unprecedented exploration of poetry and feeling. In language at once acute and emotional, National Book Critics Circle award-winning distinguished poet and critic Edward Hirsch describes why poetry matters and how we can open up our imaginations so that its message can make a difference. In a marvelous reading of verse from around the world, including work by Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath, among many others, Hirsch discovers the true meaning of their words and ideas and brings their sublime message home into our hearts. "The answer Hirsch gives to the question of how to read as poem is: Ecstatically."—Boston Book Review

Tell, Mighty Wit, how the highest in forethought and, That tremendous plus, The Science, Saw off our panic and Globed vexation Until a drape of calmness furled around the earth And beckoned a new and greater normal into each life For which we give plenty gratitude and pay Willingly for the vict'ry triumph Merited by these wisest gods. Pandemonium is an epic mock-heroic poem, written in response to the pandemic with all the anger and wit that Armando Iannucci brings to his vision of contemporary events.

One of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me (this on the telephone before any other words were spoken) was, ”Stanford, I really like your poetry.” The sentiment rather startled me: How often, anymore, do people like poetry? As I thought about it, of course, the more important question arose: when did poetry stop being likable? What led even the poet, Marianne Moore, to say, “I, too, dislike it”? One could say that it is clearly not the intent of war poems to be “likable,” but insofar as such poems communicate their meaning clearly and powerfully, we are attracted to them, and take them into ourselves. And there is very little we take into ourselves that, in some curious way, we don't like. My philosophy of poetry is very simple: no tune, no lilt, no melody—no poetry. As the rhythm, in jazz, enables us to lower our defenses so that our ears can make sense of the succession of notes, so rhythm, in poetry, carries the meanings expressed; Frost called it “the sound of sense,” and claimed that by the way he manipulated rhythm, he could make you believe almost the exact opposite of what his words were saying. (It is worth noting that the pace of all Western music never strays too, too far from the human heartbeat; there is a pronounced limit to how fast it can be, or how slow, and it is the human heartbeat that sets those limits.) My instinctual way of creating rhythm is derived from a) the use of a more or less iambic beat, and b) rhyme. The problem, of course, is that the combination of rhyme and iambic beat can quickly become monotonous, and worse, quickly deteriorate to singsong. I try to circumvent these pitfalls by interspersing non-rhyming poetry among the rhyming, and not using rhyme for the sake of rhyme, but for the sake of interest and pleasure. I believe Frost (and I make no secret of his influence on me) is correct in saying, “poetry begins in the nursery rhyme.” T. S. Eliot pointed out that the first way a poem communicates is visually. That is the reason I cleave to traditional three-, four-, and five-line stanzas, and try to write in uniform line lengths. Not for me the indiscriminate long line followed by a very short line followed by a medium, so-so line followed by . . . and so on. In most instances, I capitalize every line of a poem; I simply cannot understand why so many poets capitalize their poems the way they would capitalize prose. What is the advantage? I want everything clean, accessible, and orderly. I am aware that this gives my poetry an old-fashioned look (and definitely does not arouse sympathy from editors of poetry magazines), but if it makes my poetry likable, it is a price I will willingly pay. Robert Penn Warren said “the greatest literature is that which appeals to the most people, and the most different kinds of people.” But poetry has become a rather specialized art, for a needlessly specialized audience. Gone forever are the days when Lord Byron could sell six thousand copies of a book in one month, or ten thousand of another on the day of publication. Still, we take immediate and instinctive pleasure in lyrics drawn from the Great American Songbook; is there any reason we can't still derive immediate and instinctive pleasure from poetry?
