3 POEMS FOR COMFORT IN TOUGH TIMES

   Mobile Logo  POETRY, SELF-CARE 3 POEMS FOR COMFORT IN TOUGH TIMES by Liz Newman July 23, 2020 13.36k When I think of the poets who have brought me comfort recently, Angie Waters, AKA A. Shea, immediately comes to mind. Angie is a writer who has such a talent for writing about the hard stuff in a way that is hopeful and heartfelt. Her pieces have an immense depth of emotion and resilience. They serve as a beautiful reminder that we can experience the magnitude of our emotions and still be strong, and that’s a message of comfort that we can all hold onto during these tough times.    I chose three pieces for further reflection which spoke to me deeply, but I know that you’ll find your own favorites as well if you take a look at her body of work. I hope these three poems bring your hearts some peace today.    1. “Dance with sorrow when it is your partner when you cannot keep time with hope Step into the arms of what your heart is facing and embrace it until it lets go.”   I love the im

Analysis of Abraham Cowley’s Poems

 Literary Theory and Criticism Analysis of Abraham Cowley’s Poems NASRULLAH MAMBROL NASRULLAH MAMBROL 11 months ago Abraham Cowley (1618—1667) is a transitional figure, a poet who tended to relinquish the emotional values of John Donne and George Herbert and grasp the edges of reason and wit.He was more versatile than the early Metaphysicals: He embraced the influence of Donne and Ben Jonson, relied on the Pindaric form that would take hold in the eighteenth century, conceived of an experimental biblical epic in English (Davideis) well in advance of John Milton’s major project, and demonstrated an open-mindedness that allowed him to write in support of Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, and the Royal Society.
