Home About Vision History ... Contact The Poets Plaza will be an oasis for San Franciscans and a national site for poets, a kind of national poetry forum, with a permanent poets’ podium built into one corner of the square. There will also be chess tables, stone benches, and olive trees. And quotations from some 40 great poets from around the world will be incised in the paving of the Plaza. Inspired by the lovely piazzas of Italy, The Poets Plaza will be free of all traffic, an essential link between the neighborhood’s major thoroughfares, Grant and Columbus Avenues, in the 600 block of Vallejo Street, between the landmark National Shrine of Saint Francis and Caffe Trieste, historic bohemian gathering place. The Poets Plaza is a civic project created by neighborhood volunteers, donations, and community grants. The Chinatown Community Development Center, North Beach Merchants Association, Telegraph Hill Dwellers, North Beach Citizens, and hundreds of local residents have already offered their qualified support of the project. The Mayor’s office and the City Planning Department are enthusiastic about the concept. The total cost of installation will be close to three million. We are hoping that anyone interested in working with us, and especially potential donors, will now contact us through our website, a 501 (C)( 3) tax deductible, non-profit entity: poetsplaza.org.

Technology metaphysical poets Literary Dictionary: metaphysical poets Home Library Literary Dictionary metaphysical poets , the name given to a diverse group of 17th�century English poets whose work is notable for its ingenious use of intellectual and theological concepts in surprising conceits , strange paradoxes , and far�fetched imagery . The leading metaphysical poet was John Donne, whose colloquial, argumentative abruptness of rhythm and tone distinguishes his style from the conventions of Elizabethan love�lyrics. Other poets to whom the label is applied include Andrew Marvell, Abraham Cowley, John Cleveland, and the predominantly religious poets George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, and Richard Crashaw. In the 20th century, T. S. Eliot and others revived their reputation, stressing their quality of wit , in the sense of intellectual strenuousness and flexibility rather than smart humour. The term metaphysical poetry usually refers to the works of these poets, but it can sometimes denote any poetry that discusses

Adopt a Poet Add to Notebook E-mail to Friend Print Paul Celan Paul Antschel, who wrote under the pseudonym Paul Celan, was born in Czernovitz, in Romania, on November 23, 1920. The son of German-speaking Jews, Celan grew up speaking several languages, including Romanian, Russian, and French. He also understood Yiddish. He studied medicine in Paris in 1938, but returned to Romania shortly before the outbreak of World War II. His parents were deported and eventually died in Nazi labor camps; Celan himself was interned for eighteen months before escaping to the Red Army. Celan's first book was published in 1947; it received very little critical attention. His second book, Mohn und Gedaechtnis Poppy and Memory ), however, garnered tremendous acclaim and helped to establish his reputation. Among his most well-known and often-anthologized poems from this time is "Fugue of Death." The poem opens with the words "Black milk of daybreak we drink it at evening / we drink it at midday and morning we drink it at night" and it goes on to offer a stark evocation of life in the Nazi death camps.
