Come il disertore di Boris Vian, i 43 autori di questa antologia, il cui titolo è un verso tratto dalla celeberrima Imagine di John Lennon, rifiutano di imbracciare ideologicamente le armi e si schierano dalla parte della pace. Storie vere e storie di pura invenzione, passati recenti e futuri distopici si intrecciano e raccontano mondi dove la guerra è sempre una sconfitta. Per tutti. «La guerra è un film di cui tutti conosciamo il finale in anteprima: morte, distruzione, povertà – spiegano gli ideatori e coordinatori dell'antologia Gabrini - Caimi perché la guerra è un affare per pochi: possiamo travestirla da guerra di religione o da operazione per “esportare la democrazia”, ma quello che muove i fili rimane l'interesse economico. Una miniera di denaro per i pochi “soliti noti” sulle macerie di nazioni distrutte e popoli piegati, come ci dimostra, ad esempio, l'Iraq trent'anni dopo quella che venne definita la prima guerra mediatica, con la TV americana CNN che trasmetteva le immagini dei bombardamenti in diretta, proiettando gli spettatori all'interno di una sorta di videogame mortale. Potremmo dilungarci a parlare di come il conflitto stia generando demenziali tifoserie da stadio sui media, dove l'unica parola negletta è “pace”, e sui viscidi metodi con cui la propaganda e la politica ci stanno portando sull'orlo del baratro, ma preferiamo dar voce ai racconti. Ce ne sono di pura invenzione e di vita vissuta. Alcuni autori hanno attinto ai ricordi di famiglia e raccontano la seconda guerra mondiale, l'ultima combattuta sul nostro territorio nazionale. Lontana nel tempo, vicina in quanto tramandata da genitori e nonni che l'hanno patita in prima persona. Sembra che, nonostante il tempo trascorso, quel conflitto ci sia ancora vicino, più di altri quali quelli nell'ex Jugoslavia o in altri Paesi: in questo gli autori che hanno partecipato all'antologia si sono dimostrati, salvo alcune eccezioni, molto “partigiani”. Ma tutti concorrono a farci sentire che cosa significa essere nel mezzo di un conflitto. Fino a un epilogo che, come in un romanzo, sancisce la fine che potrebbero fare, e farci fare, tutti i maggiori conflitti: per coincidenza, senza essersi consultati, alcuni autori hanno scritto una sequenza di racconti che porta a quell'epilogo». Oltre alla co-curatrice Viviana Gabrini, l'antologia annovera fra gli autori altri due pavesi: Novella Limite (scrittrice, drammaturga e regista) e Paolo Repossi.Pavese è anche l'artista Marco Tomasi, autore di “Caos”, il quadro riprodotto in copertina. L' antologia è dedicata ad Attilia Vicini, animatrice della vita culturale di Voghera e dell'Oltrepò Pavese: «Attilia – spiegano ancora i curatori - è la grande assente di queste pagine. Quando le abbiamo chiesto di collaborare a questa raccolta con un racconto, ha aderito con entusiasmo promettendo una storia vera accaduta nelle campagne attorno a Voghera durante l'ultimo conflitto mondiale. Purtroppo, del racconto che ci aveva promesso, Bombe e confetti,abbiamo solo il titolo e qualche stralcio. Il resto se n'è andato con lei nel giugno del ‘23».

Warwick poet and musician D.K. Mckenzie presents excerpts from his spoken word and music podcast, The Poe Underground, in a Warwick Radio exclusive. In this episode, hear easily-consumed, original music and the poem September Midnight by Sara Teasdale and a suite of poems called Noir Night by D.K. Mckenzie. September Midnight Lyric night of the lingering Indian Summer, Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing, Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects, Ceaseless, insistent. The grasshopper's horn, and far-off, high in the maples, The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence Under a moon waning and worn, broken, Tired with summer. Let me remember you, voices of little insects, Weeds in the moonlight, fields that are tangled with asters, Let me remember, soon will the winter be on us, Snow-hushed and heavy. Over my soul murmur your mute benediction, While I gaze, O fields that rest after harvest, As those who part look long in the eyes they lean to, Lest they forget them. Noir Night Drenched sidewalks Neon lights blaze the night and then Jazz Takes over the shadows Dim candles burn over On that loose night While that smooth rain drops in Uninvited and unrestrained Mark the cars Mark the walls With those liquid clouds Now A band of fire trucks Races away towards the womb of the boulevard As that lonesome jazz plays As that tenor sax does play This is the type of music that must take place in heaven When wet streets reign and street lamps illuminate the desperate puddles below The bruised man With his sad horn Blasts and Wails Until the walls of night Vanish and the final hour of night Reaches its maximum limit Welcome to the African night Where jazz rules and drizzles Little nibbles of hurt, joy, and class On your soul All over your aching heart Let the jazz infuse you Let the warm jazz move in and through you Let the jazz compel you To ponder the enveloping shadows Visit The Poe Underground website.

Leitura bíblica do dia: Jeremias 17:5-8 Plano de leitura anual: Neemias 7-9; Atos 3; Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: “Os lilases se agitam ao vento”. Com a abertura do seu poema “Maio”, a poetisa Sara Teasdale capturou a visão dos arbustos lilases balançando ao vento. No entanto, ela lamentava um amor perdido, e o poema rapidamente se tornou triste. Os lilases do meu quintal também enfrentaram desafios. Depois de sua estação mais exuberante e bela, sentiram o rastelo do jardineiro que os “aparou” até os tocos. Chorei. Três anos depois, ramos estéreis, um surto de fungos, e o meu plano descrente de os desenterrar, os nossos lilases, tão sofridos, recuperaram-se. Eles precisavam de tempo, e eu de esperar pelo que não conseguia ver. A Bíblia fala de muitas pessoas que esperaram fielmente apesar das adversidades. Noé esperou por chuva. Calebe esperou por 40 anos para viver na Terra Prometida. Rebeca esperou 20 para conceber uma criança. Jacó esperou 7 para casar-se com Raquel. Simeão esperou muito para ver o menino Jesus. A paciência deles foi recompensada. Em contrapartida, aqueles que olham para os homens serão “como arbusto solitário no deserto” (Jeremias 17:6). A poetisa finalizou seu poema em tal escuridão. “Vou por um caminho invernal” concluiu ela. Mas “feliz é quem confia no Senhor”, serão “como árvore plantada junto ao rio” regozijou-se Jeremias. (vv.7-8). A confiança permanece em Deus, que caminha conosco em meio às alegrias e adversidades da vida. Por: Patrícia Raybon
S5 E1: Sarah & Rebecca on Poetry Welcome to the Book Dialogue! Thank you for listening in. A few weeks ago, my sister, Rebecca, and I embarked on a memorable journey to the picturesque city of Victoria, B.C. The charming ambience and scenic beauty of this destination provided the perfect backdrop for heartfelt discussions on poetry. As we strolled through the quaint streets and soaked in the tranquil atmosphere, we found ourselves delving into the world of verse, sharing our favorite poems and reflecting on the power of words. Our enriching experience in Victoria, B.C. was truly elevated by the beauty of poetry intertwining with the beauty of our surroundings. We invite you to join us on a sunny spring day to recite the poetry of Sara Teasdale and Emily Dickinson! Their evocative verses beautifully hold the essence of this special season.

Christopher Tin/Voces 8 — The Lost Birds (Decca) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Christopher Tin by Composer Christopher Tin and the British vocal ensemble Voces8 were introduced to one another by their recording engineer about a decade ago. Ever since that first meeting, Tin has been looking for an opportunity to collaborate with the singers. They were finally able to come together on a project called The Lost Birds. “The main overture of The Lost Birds is actually a melody that I'd written years ago for a documentary about bird extinctions,” Tin said. “This subject has been on my mind for more than ten years. This one little tune that I wrote 11 years ago has stayed as something that I wanted to expand upon in a choral requiem format. I finally got the chance to do that with Voces8 during the pandemic.” Why is the loss of birds important to you? “I've been very captivated by the metaphor of the canary in the coal mine, which you may know comes from the 19th century practice where miners used to bring a canary down to the coal mines with them. If the canary died it meant there was a buildup of poisonous gases in the coal mine and the miners would be next. I thought there was no better metaphor for the impending change in the climate and what it could mean for our own civilization. I took this metaphor and I essentially made an entire choral piece out of it. “We talk about birds and celebrate their beauty in the first half. But over the course of the second half, the birds vanish and the texts become more suggestive of humans going extinct along with the birds. It's a soft activist message about where these extinctions are leading us.” Why did you decide to adopt a 19th-century musical vocabulary? “I immersed myself in the vernacular of the 19th century, both musically and poetically. The four poets that I chose to set to music are Emily Dickinson, Sara Teasdale, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Christina Rossetti. I really wanted to create a time capsule that was reflecting on where we are now.” What were you going for with the piece “Thus in the Winter”? “The way I think of writing choral parts is almost like the way that birds fly in a flock. The different voices are individual birds and they all have their own motion, but collectively they have a group motion to them. It's directional and it's made up of all these individual threads. A piece like ‘Thus in the Winter' is a realization of that movement. It is a lot of individual lines weaving around, sometimes coming together with big cries, but often diverging and doing their own things.” VOCES8 & Jack Liebeck: The Lark Ascending - Ralph Vaughan Williams (arr.

“The wind is tossing the lilacs.” With that opening line of her springtime poem “May,” poet Sara Teasdale captured a vision of lilac bushes waving in gusty breezes. But Teasdale was lamenting a lost love, and her poem soon turned sorrowful. Our backyard lilacs also encountered a challenge. After having their most lush and beautiful season, they faced the axe of a hard-working lawn man who “trimmed” every bush, chopping them to stubs. I cried. Then, three years later—after barren branches, a bout of powdery mildew, and my faithless plan to dig them up—our long-suffering lilacs rebounded. They just needed time, and I simply needed to wait for what I couldn’t see. The Bible tells of us many people who waited by faith despite adversity. Noah waited for delayed rain. Caleb waited forty years to live in the Promised Land. Rebekah waited twenty years to conceive a child. Jacob waited seven years to marry Rachel. Simeon waited and waited to see the baby Jesus. Their patience was rewarded. In contrast, those who look to humans “will be like a bush in the wastelands” (Jeremiah 17:6). Poet Teasdale ended her verse in such gloom. “I go a wintry way,” she concluded. But for believers, “blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,” rejoiced Jeremiah. “They will be like a tree planted by the water” (vv. 7–8). The trusting stay planted in God—the One who will walk with us through the joys and adversities of life.
Sara Teasdale wrote “There Will Come Soft Rains” during World War I, commonly known as the Great War or the War to End All Wars during the time Teasdale wrote the poem. The poem asserts that nature cares not for the wars of humans and that the impending destruction of humankind would not be heeded by Nature.LinksHow to annotate and analyze a poem.Poetry Collections at ELACommonCoreLessonPlans.com"There Will Come Soft Rains" Blog Post"There Will Come Soft Rains" Poetry Analysis Lesson Plan
In today's Love Letters to…, Alicia marks National Poetry Month, celebrated every year in April, with three poets' love letters to this paragon of springtime (or, probably, autumn, in the Southern Hemisphere). Ogden Nash, Sara Teasdale, and e.e. cummings had thoughts about April - which is decidedly not the cruelest month, whatever T.S. Eliot may have said. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, you'll hear from Kevin Memley, composer of "There Will Come Soft Rains" - available for SSAA through Pavane Publishing. Kevin and I discuss the conception of the piece, Sara Teasdale, synesthesia, polyrhythms, and the usual non-musical banter. This episode honors Sara Teasdale during Women's History Month in March but is also dedicated to those impacted by the atrocious events that are currently taking place in Ukraine. The text of this piece centers around the subject of war and its futility to the world around us. Thank you so much for listening and I hope you enjoy our conversation and go check out "There Will Come Soft Rains" and Kevin's additional compositional library. https://kevinmemley.com/ http://www.pavanepublishing.com/2x2pdf/P1448There2X2.pdf

In our first listener-chosen episode, we talk about World War I poem There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale, with a special appearance of There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury. Content warning for war and violence.
I went out at night alone; The young blood flowing beyond the sea Seemed to have drenched my spirit's wings — I bore my sorrow heavily. But when I lifted up my head From shadows shaken on the snow, I saw Orion in the east Burn steadily as long ago. — from "Winter Stars" by Sara Teasdale Sources: "Close-micd Snow Steps.flac" by billox30 "Polar Wind" by Fission9 "DMP013016 HEAVY SNOW STORM MS.wav" by martypinso "Door Open and Close.mp3" by harrietniamh "Footsteps, Solid Wood Rug, Male Boots, Medium Pace and Scuffs.wav" by SpliceSound "Leather Sofa, Sit Down, Stand Up" by Kinoton "crackling-fire.aiff" by alienistcog "fire-crackling.wav" by jmehlferber "13_Fire in fireplace.wav" by 16FThumaF "Solitude" by Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, feat.

This episode presents another installment in our “re:read” series, in which we take short works of literature and develop them into audio dramas featuring music, sound effects, and dynamic vocal performances.This re:read selection is an ever-timely tale of a post-apocalyptic dystopia: Ray Bradbury's short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” (1950). Taking its title from Sara Teasdale's 1918 poem of the same name, Bradbury's story tells the tale of an autonomous, mechanized house that continues to operate despite the fact that its inhabitants (and the city surrounding it), have been destroyed in a nuclear holocaust. Obsessed with its own self-protection, the house plays out the routines of domestic American life as if nothing has changed… until the forces of nature find a way to breach its walls.Work read for this episode:Bradbury, R.
