Heard-Hoard


Book Description

Winner of the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America, this collection of verse from Atsuro Riley offers a vivid weavework rendering and remembering an American place and its people. Recognized for his “wildly original” poetry and his “uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative,” Atsuro Riley deepens here his uncommon mastery and tang. In Heard-Hoard, Riley has “razor-exacted” and “raw-wired” an absorbing new sequence of poems, a vivid weavework rendering an American place and its people. At once an album of tales, a portrait gallery, and a soundscape; an “inscritched” dirt-mural and hymnbook, Heard-Hoard encompasses a chorus of voices shot through with (mostly human) histories and mysteries, their “old appetites as chronic as tides.” From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring “time and time that yonder oak,” this collection is a profound evocation of lives and loss and lore.

Book Description

"Recognized by the Whiting Awards for his 'wildly original' poetry and his "uncanny and unparalleled ability to blend lyric and narrative," Atsuro Riley extends and deepens his uncommon mastery here. In Heard-Hoard, Riley has 'razor-exacted' and 'raw-wired' this absorbing new sequence of poems, a vivid weavework rendering and remembering an American place and its people. At once an album of tales, a portrait gallery, an "inscritched" dirt-mural, and a hymnbook, Heard-Hoard encompasses a chorus of voices, shot through with their (mostly human) histories and their mysteries. From the crackling story-man calling us together in the primal circle to Tammy figuring "time and time that yonder oak," Atsuro Riley's new collection is a profound evocation of lives and lore, "a lit meat-mesh of heards." In an early blurb, Linda Gregerson writes, "The category of the 'mythic' has been much cheapened by overuse, but Heard-Hoard restores the term to its original and originary power. The English language has rarely been so richly augmented in such little space. His first book won Riley an extensive and passionate following. His readers will be thrilled, as I am, by this new collection." Contracts, Rights, and Permissions"--

"The Perfect Spoken English & Phonetics with the Best Concise English Grammar for Learners"


Book Description

ABOUT THE BOOK:- This book has been compiled concisely and written English to English. This book contains three books such as; 1. A key to the Perfect Spoken English, 2. The Perfect English Phonetics, 3. The Best Concise English Grammar & composition. Addition of three kinds of small books is finally produced as a complete book which is sub titled “A key to the Perfect Spoken English & Phonetics with the best concise English Grammar & Composition for keen learners” mostly needed not only for students of high school and college but also for keen learners. As far as I am concerned that it may be very useful up to college students and for keen learners those who do not know proper English and correct phonetics. I think this kind of book is rarely found in the market. As far as I know and hope that this kind of book might not have published before. There is no limit of level or age or class and duration for learning it; one who is eager to learn can learn at anywhere/any time/any year by having this book. This book gives you not only fundamental but also how you will be able to speak the perfect English throughout the world. It’s the primary key to success. The book has been written with the sole purpose of enlightening & enriching the readers about English grammar & Phonetics with the process of spoken English which will be very useful to all those who go through it; especially to new learners to get some ideas and knowledge in English language which is mostly used in spoken in day today’s life. ABOUT THE PERFECT ENGLISH PHONETICS:- Phonetics is the symbols to represent each different speech sounds, their pronunciation & script. The English language is meaningless without the phonetics; so one should know the correct sound of each word; otherwise he won’t be able to get what someone speaks or expresses. This kind of book is rarely found in the market for Indian students & keen learners those who really need it. Thus I have collected the phonetics from Oxford Dictionary & different kinds of books to make you easy to get. I hope that it will help us to get what someone wants to say meaningfully. It is also very important to know because there are some words which don’t sound but have to be spelt as-tsunami /tsu:’nα:mi/ here ‘t’ is silent, bristle /’brIsl/ here also ‘t’ silent; so in this case one can’t come to know all the words without studying phonetics . If one knows the phonetics perfectly then he/she can speak or write in English frankly without fearing about it & everyone gets him that what he/she says. The basic knowledge of phonetics is enough to help us to acquire correct pronunciation. If we speak phonetically; then we may not face problem in writing or speaking in any necessary action. It is the only one language by knowing one can travel all over the world where English is used as a second or a foreign language. ABOUT THE BEST CONCISE ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND COMPOSITION:- This book is written concisely in perfection from Mr.Wren & Martin'S English Grammar Book from fundamental Grammar (root level). You can extend your thoughts and examples from it to get the thorough knowledge. It is up to you whether you grow branches from your root; I mean creativity, extendable thoughts and grasping examples. The more you practice the more you get; beacue we all know that there is saying "Practice makes a man perfect". It is great personal & professional satisfaction brought you by a new compilation. In our country the English language is taught as second language. This book develops communicative skills & elocution. It has been written in brief & concisely so that students can grasp quickly without taking long duration apart from their studies; especially for keen learners who don’t get enough time being in their busy life & profession can give less time for learning proper English & Phonetics. I hope & i am sure that you will find English as easy if you really go through it thoroughly & put in practice giving more interest. I am hopeful that this book will be found useful mostly in our Odisha, India and in other places too; especially in India where English is used as a second or foreign language. I have been endeavored to refer writings of several authors in the form of books to bring this book out. By Hener Compiler
