Poetry

A collection of poetry by Giovanna Calligaris. As the title indicates, this collection centers around the light and the darkness in the poet's life, as well as all the various gradations of grey in between. The poems tell of the tragedies and triumphs of a difficult life that has been overcome rather than savoured.

"Reflections in Black and White with Shades of Red, Yellow and Brown is a child's poetic interpretation of the blending and bonding of families during the post-war years."--Pg. 1

Sometimes we use words such as insightful, compelling, honest, authentic, original, and sensitive to describe a work of art. From movies to novels, word to describe what the authors have made us feel. In "more Shades of Gray in Black & White" Ben Logan compels us to use these words and more, words such as intimate and provocative. Through his introspective look at the world and it's problems, to his stories filled with authentic characters, his is an honest voice taking the reader on a rare trip. One of the great thing about a book of short stories and poems, is that the author can examine a variety of human conditions and emotions. The joy of finding love, the pain in losing love, the character that try as he might who still cannot fit in, the fantasies some of us have, issues of the heart and mind that life bring to all of us...are all here. Ben has a keen awareness of his senses and he uses it to expose ours. After reading it, we are sure that you will be able to say...One other word we can use is...enjoyable.

This comprehensive listing and discussion of poetic works supports the standards of all areas of the curriculum, helping librarians and teachers working with kindergarten through middle school students. This second edition of Using Poetry Across the Curriculum: Learning to Love Language offers a comprehensive list of poetry anthologies, poetic picture books, and poetic prose works in a wide variety of subject areas. While it maintains the original edition's focus on ideas and resource lists for integration of poetry into all areas of the curriculum, it is thoroughly revised to cover current issues in education and the wealth of new poetry books available. The book is organized by subject areas commonly taught in elementary and middle schools, and, within these, by the national standards in each area. Numerous examples of poetry and poetic prose that can be used to help students understand and appreciate aspects of the standard are listed. A sampling of units that arise from groups of works, writing and performance ideas, and links across the curriculum is also included. While many teaching ideas and topics provide references to the standards they meet, this title is unique in starting with those standards and making links across them.

Our life is a big canvas, splashed with a riot of shades and hues of varied experiences and people.

This collection of life-poems is that incarnation of the acceptance of the dark and bright in and around you that will make you admire and appreciate those shades of grey in life.
