The Wonder Of Nature In Rhythm Rhyme

“There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture on the lonely shore, there is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, the music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature more”—this poem by Lord Byron speaks to my soul. Fantasy and fairies dance to the music of nature in this book. Original artwork creates expression for the words, giving meaning to singing frogs and swirling shores while questioning mankind’s treatment of our earth and the environment. Learn the secrets of the universe by touching a star or riding a moonbeam. Hear sunshine or see wind blowing while watching a dewdrop fall to the sea. As John Keats said, “The poetry of the Earth is never dead.” Close your eyes while imagining nature in fantasy.

This book takes the croak of frogs, the quack of ducks, the twinkle of stars, the bloom of flowers, the snowcapped mountains, the fragrant valleys, and the whispering winds and puts them to rhyme. Artwork created in the sloping mountains of Norway combined with these rhyming words tells tales of what once was to what is. This kiss of Mother Nature is a journey into a world of fantasy, a rapture of lonely shores by the seas as they sing their music of eternity. As Lord Byron once said, “I love not man the less, but nature more.” Come take this journey with me into the mystic.

Poems about animals and nature are followed by a discussion guide for understanding the topics of the poems and for becoming aware of the need to preserve the wonders of nature.

The Wonder Paradox offers a lively, practical, and transcendent road map to meaning and connection through poetry. Where do we find magic? Peace? Connection? We have calendars to mark time, communal spaces to bring us together, bells to signal hours of contemplation, official archives to record legacies, the wisdom of sages read aloud, weekly, to map out the right way to live—in kindness, justice, morality. These rhythms and structures of society were all once set by religion. Now, for many, religion no longer runs the show. So how then to celebrate milestones? Find rules to guide us? Figure out which texts can focus our attention but still offer space for inquiry, communion, and the chance to dwell for a dazzling instant in what can’t be said? Where, really, are truth and beauty? The answer, says The Wonder Paradox, is in poetry. In twenty chapters built from years of questions and conversations with those looking for an authentic and meaningful life, Jennifer Michael Hecht offers ways to mine and adapt the useful aspects of tradition and to replace what no longer feels true. Through cultures and poetic wisdom from around the world—Sappho, Rumi, Shakespeare, Issa, Tagore, Frost, Szymborska, Angelou, and others—she blends literary criticism with spiritual guidance rooted in the everyday. Linking our needs to particular poems, she helps us better understand those needs, our very being, and poetry itself. Our capacity for wonder is one of the greatest joys of being human; The Wonder Paradox celebrates that instinct and that yearning.

This books presents the first extended study of the relationship between British modernist poetry and the environment. Challenging reductive associations of modernism as predominantly anthropocentric in character and urban in focus, the book’s central argument is that within British modernist poetry there is a clear and sustained interest in the natural world which has yet to receive adequate critical attention. Whilst modernist studies continues to emphasize the plurality of the movement and the breadth of voices and concerns within it, the environmental consciousness of modernist literature and its response to changes to human/nature relations following the experience of war and modernity remain largely unexamined. Exploring British modernist poetry from an ecocritical perspective offers a fresh approach to the movement and its context, and produces original readings of both canonical and more marginalized modernist voices. This book opens by discussing the relationship between modernism and ecocriticism and the benefits of creating a dialogue between the two. It then presents new readings of Edward Thomas, T. S. Eliot, Edith Sitwell, and Charlotte Mew that reveal a shared preoccupation with environmental issues and a common desire to find new ways of achieving physical, psychological, and artistic reconnection with nature. Building on the continuing growth of ecocriticism, this book demonstrates how green approaches to modernist studies can produce new insights into both individual poets and the modernist movement as a whole, making it an essential resource for students of modernism, ecocriticism, and early-twentieth-century literature.

Winner of the 2015 NAGC Curriculum Studies Award Interactions in Ecology and Literature integrates ecology with the concept of interactions and the reading of fictional and informational texts. This unit, developed by Vanderbilt University's Programs for Talented Youth, is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Next Generation Science Standards. Students will research questions such as "Should animals be kept in zoos?" and "Should humans intervene to control overpopulation of species?" They will examine relationships among living things and the environment as well as relationships between literary elements in texts through accelerated content, engaging activities, and differentiated tasks. Ideal for gifted classrooms or gifted pull-out groups, the unit features fictional texts from Lynne Cherry, Katherine Applegate, and Jacqueline Woodson; art from Mark Rothko and Georges Seurat; informational texts about deforestation and a variety of animals; biographies about Michael Jordan, J. K. Rowling, and Walt Disney; and videos about food chains, food webs, and more. Grades 2-3

These four delightful rhymes teach children about nature as they learn to read. Rhymes help young readers to work out new words and the lilting rhythm makes the stories easy to remember.

This is Annette Meredith's second rhyming book for early readers, following on from the successful "Five First Rhyming Readers." She is also the author of the educational series of nature books for children and young adults, "Nature on Our Doorstep." The books all aim to inspire children to learn more about nature and our environment.
