Coplas por la muerte de su padre by Jorge Manrique (c.1440-79) is one of the most celebrated poems in the Spanish language. Written shortly before the poet's death, it is a dignified elegy that speaks not just of a personal loss, that of the poet's father Rodrigo Manrique (d.1476), but of the evanescence of all things sub specie aeternitatis. Its popularity is aided by memorable lines, not least the two opening metaphors: man's life is a river meandering unto the sea of death (st. 3), and this world is the road to the next, the lasting dwelling place (st. 5). The poem replicates these reflections in its wending form. Its forty stanzas each comprise four tercets; each tercet is made up of two longer octosyllabic verses combined with one four-syllable half line known as pie quebrado. These regular broken lines, like beats of a heart, invest the poem with a resonant quality befitting the injunction at the opening of the poem to awaken one's slumbering soul to the passage of time: 'Recuerde el alma dormida, - avive el seso e despierte' (st. 1).

"Loss of a Father" is a collection of poems about fate, loss, and how we deal with the memories of those we loved but to whom we never got to say goodbye. Franklin Ross wrote the poems a year and a half after his father Richard B. Ross died on American Airlines Flight 11 on September 11th 2001. The poems include reflections on the memories of one's parents and their transcendence into one's own psyche. They explore the role of fate and death, whether it be the fragility of one's time on Earth or the unimaginable death of the Sun. They recount a son's search for meaning and the human need for something enduring in the face of grave loss. The book reminds us to stop and remember the value of life and those we love. Franklin Ross is an entrepreneur and investor who was raised and resides in Boston, MA. He graduated high school in 2002 from the Noble and Greenough School. Franklin entered Brown University in the fall of 2003. After he graduated in May 2007, he went to work for two years as a financial analyst. He loves to spend time with his family and play golf.

Telling My Father is a collection of poetry that interrogates the personal grief of losing my father to a prolonged illness and losing a lover at nearly the same time. The collection does not merely portray the emotional aspects or images of these losses, however. Instead, by utilizing the lenses of spirituality and a close connection to the natural world, Telling My Father explores the ways in which memory never quite leaves us as well as how we refuse to examine our own mortality. Part One of the collection, with poems like "My Father Asks for One Last Thing," "Wanting It Back," and "Telling My Father" (from which the book's title is drawn), dwells mostly in the realm of the past and memory, while capturing the aftermath of my father's sudden death. Part Two of the book shows two men falling in love and the dissolution of that love in poems such as "While You Were Sleeping," and "After Love." This section also sees the speaker of the poems turning more toward considerations of the numinous with playful yet serious poems like "God Bud," "God Spot," and "God Particles," which were heavily influenced by the work of Connie Wanek and Louise Gluck. The poem that ends this section, "When I Think of the End of the World," marks a clear turn toward the environment, and what follows is a sequence of what could be called "ecopoems," or poems that find interconnectedness and consciousness in all parts of nature. Especially with pieces like "As You Label It, So It Appears to You," the poems in Part Three suggest that the concept of "God," or any higher power for that matter, remains vacant without an accompanying awareness of the role of the natural world in our emotional lives. Here, a reader might again sense the influence of Louise Gluck, especially with her collection, The Wild Iris, as well as the mark of contemporary poets such as Jane Hirshfield, Tom Hennen and Gary Snyder. The particulars of human drama seem kept at a distance in this section, at least until "How Light Leaves," which reaches back again to memories of my father's illness and the moment of his death. Part Four suggests a total integration of the various threads in the book, with ecopoems like "On a Hike" and "Before Language" linked to pieces about the now-distant loss of my lover and a few last elegies for my father. This collection of poetry, though it does tell much about my relationship with my father, also does its best to resist any easy conclusions about what can comfort us during the most difficult times of our lives.

Through this revisionary traditionalism, Wordsworth attempts to preserve England's Christian heritage by adapting it to modern needs. Revisionary in its own right, Ulmer's book provides an innovative perspective on Romantic natural supernaturalism and on William Wordsworth's religious poetics and intellectual development."--BOOK JACKET.
