Story
Poetry and science, as Popova writes in her introduction, "are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply." In 15 short essays on subjects ranging from the mystery of dark matter and the infinity of pi to the resilience of trees and the intelligence of octopuses, Popova tells the stories of scientific searching and discovery. These stories are interwoven with details from the very real and human lives of scientists—many of them women, many underrecognized—and poets inspired by the same questions and the beauty they reveal.

¿Alguna vez has pensado en el significado de tu presencia en la vida de alguien? Más allá de ser y estar, realmente qué hay detrás de tu estadía en la vida de un ser efímero que sigue su curso marcando con sus zapatos el camino de la vida. ¿Has pensando cuánto tiempo te queda? Solía hacerlo, me entraba miedo y los latidos del corazón se podían escuchar en cada rincón de mi casa. Ahora lidio con la sensación en muchos factores, creo que tengo más de cinco sentidos o puede que me esté volviendo loco.

Story
Marie Corelli is best known as a novelist, but was always a poet at heart, composing on her strongest passions, whether for love, nature, God, or country. This volume collects poems from across her bestselling books and across her career, curated by Brenda Vyver, her her 'companion' of 40 years, who she left everything to when she died, and who is buried alongside her in a twin grave. It is perhaps worth noting that Brenda drove much of Corelli's work, which ran heavy to erotic descriptions of women.

This short poem, first published in 1717, became one of Pope's best-known verse works. The actual history of the lady appears to have been intentionally concealed by the poet under a mysterious veil. Dr. Johnson offers the following details, based on the content of the poem: that the lady was distinguished by her rank, fortune, and beauty; that she was committed to the care of an uncle who was being crossed in her affections by her guardian, who opposed her marriage.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñandoCada minuto es un "enigma irrepetible" y la existencia, "vagos vestigios de ceniza en el aire". Pero "en medio de esta indiferencia", sucede lo improbable: el acontecer poético propicia el diálogo con el otro, con el mar, con los animales que pueblan el planeta. La poesía consuma el milagro hasta que el silencio destroza el encanto.Los poemas de Islas a la deriva —escritos entre 1973 y 1975— contienen el mensaje de un náufrago en el tiempo, prueba material y definitiva de su paso por esta vida.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñandoHubo una edad en que "hicimos todo lo que ha - bía que hacer", pero, de pronto, los años se agolparon —no sabemos exactamente cuándo— y una retahíla de vocablos —"ausencia", "desamor", "lejanía"— nos dejó solos con las preguntas: "¿adónde van los días que pasan?" "¿Cuál será el porvenir de mi pasado?". En Desde entonces —recopilación de poemas publicados entre 1975 y 1978— el verso libre, la prosa poética y el poema extenso dialogan en el gran teatro del mundo que la palabra ha montado, como acto de rebeldía contra el olvido.

All American Waste is a collection of poetry that you won't be able to put your finger on. Focusing on the struggles of being a young adult in America, and the seemingly futile search to find what is left of the "American Dream," the poems within the book dance from relatable to powerful, and powerful to bizarre. They put the spotlight on the mundanity of everyday life, the importance of mental health, and the beauty of our fragile environment. There is truly a poem for every person in this book!
