Dreams And Days Poems

What started as a small sequence of poems about the Starbucks logo grew to monstrous proportions after the poet fell under a siren spell herself. All Day I Dream About Sirens is both an ancient reverie and a screen-induced stupor as these poems reckon with the enduring cultural fascination with siren and mermaid narratives as they span geographies, economies, and generations, chronicling and reconfiguring the male-centered epic and women’s bodies and subjectivities.

"Dreams and Days: Poems" by George Parsons Lathrop is a lyrical collection that invites readers into a world of dreams, reflections, and everyday experiences. Lathrop's poetry captures the essence of life's fleeting moments, from the ephemeral beauty of nature to the profound emotions that stir the human heart. With his evocative language and keen observations, Lathrop explores themes of love, longing, and the passage of time, offering readers a glimpse into the depths of the human soul. "Dreams and Days" is a testament to Lathrop's poetic craftsmanship and his ability to weave words into enchanting tapestries of imagery and emotion. Through his verses, readers are transported on a journey of self-discovery and wonder, where every poem is a window into the mysteries of existence.

An example of Poe’s melancholic and morbid poetic pieces, "A Dream Within a Dream" is a poem that pitifully mourns the passing of time. The poet’s own life, teeming with depression, alcoholism, and misery, cannot but exemplify the subject matter and tone of the poem. The constant dilution of reality and fantasy is detrimental to the poetic speaker’s ability to hold reality in his hands. The quiet contemplation of the speaker is contrasted with thunderous passing of time that waits for no man. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include "The Raven" (1945), "The Black Cat" (1943), and "The Gold-Bug" (1843).
