"Poetry Man" was a song by the American singer-songwriter Phoebe Snow. The song was written by Snow, produced by Dino Airali, and first appeared on her 1974 self-titled debut album. On American Top 40 in September 1980, Casey Kasem claimed that Phoebe Snow said that the song is about Jackson Browne. This was later dispelled by Snow as a rumor that had arisen only because Browne was the first musician she had toured with after release of the song. Released as a single in late 1974, "Poetry Man" became Snow's first charting hit, rising to number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1975. The previous month, the song reached number one on the Billboard easy listening (adult contemporary) chart, where it remained for one week. The success of "Poetry Man" helped Snow achieve a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 1975, an award that was won that year by composer Marvin Hamlisch. Phoebe Snow (born Phoebe Ann Laub; July 17, 1950 -- April 26, 2011) was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. She was born in New York City, New York. Snow was raised in a household where Delta blues, Broadway show tunes, Dixieland jazz, classical music, and folk music recordings were played around the clock. Her father, Merrill Laub, an exterminator by trade, had an encyclopedic knowledge of American film and theater and was also an avid collector and restorer of antiques. Her mother, Lili Laub, was a dance teacher who had performed with the Martha Graham group. Snow grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and graduated from Teaneck High School. She subsequently attended Shimer College in Mount Carroll, Illinois, but did not graduate. Even as a student, she carried her prized Martin 00018 acoustic guitar from club to club in Greenwich Village, playing and singing on amateur nights. Her stage name is a fictional advertising character created in the early 1900s for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad---Phoebe Snow was a young woman who appeared on boxcars. Snow was briefly married to Phil Kearns, and in December 1975 she gave birth to a severely brain-injured daughter, Valerie Rose. She resolved not to institutionalize her, and cared for her at home until Valerie died on March 18, 2007 at the age of 31. Despite this, over the years Snow performed with numerous artists including Lou Rawls, Dave Grusin, Garland Jeffreys, Jewel, Donald Fagen, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Queen, Jackson Browne, Dave Mason, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs, Cyndi Lauper, Roger Daltrey, Chaka Khan, CeCe Peniston, Take 6, Michael Bolton, Thelma Houston, Mavis Staples, and Laurie Anderson, among others. She suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on January 19, 2010 and slipped into a coma, enduring bouts of blood clots, pneumonia, and congestive heart failure. Snow died on April 26, 2011 at age 60 in Edison, New Jersey.

** Phir sawan Rut Ki Pawan Chali ** Ghazal by ** Nasir Kazmi ** Sung by ** Nayyara Noor ** Here is the original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD1fO3JQB_M http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Jayanthi-Nadigs-Fan-Page/168287633219569?fref=ts Urdu Poetry - Naghma O Sher - Phir sawan Rut Ki Pawan Chali Nayyara Noor: Brief infor about the singer :). Nayyara Noor was born in 1950 in Assam. Her family was a merchant class hailing from Amritsar who had settled in Guwahati in Assam State in the North-Eastern India. Her father was an active member of the Muslim League and in 1958, the family moved to Pakistan. As a child, Nayyara is said to have been inspired by the bhajans of Kanan Devi and Kamla as well as the ghazals and thumris of Begum Akhtar.[3] Although Nayyara had no formal musical background nor formal training, she was discovered by Professor Israr at the Islamia College in Lahore. In 1971, Nayyara made her public singing debut in Pakistani television serials and then beginning with films like Gharana and Tansen. She has since sung ghazals penned by the likes of Ghalib and Faiz Ahmed Faiz and has performed with legends like Mehdi Hassan and Ahmed Rushdi. She has won three gold medals in the All Pakistan Music Conference and a Nigar Award for best female singer. She has since performed at countless mehfils and mushairas having cemented a following among ghazal lovers in Pakistan and India.Her probably the most famous ghazal (a form of song in Urdu poetry) was ae jazba e dil gar mai chhon, written by Behzad Lakhnavi (1900-1974), a poet, scriptwriter and song writer of radio Pakistan, for which she won many rewards. Kalaam'e 'Nasir Kazmi: Nasir Kazmi started composing poetry in his teen years. Hafeez Hoshiarpuri حفیظ ہوشیارپوری was his poetry teacher (ustad استاد), who also helped him in acquiring a job at the Lahore Radio Station (where Hafeez Hoshiarpuri was the Station Director). He first started writing in the style of Akhtar Shirani اختر شیرانی (whose romantic poetry was very popular at that time). Later he was influenced by Hafeez Hoshiarpuri and Meer Taqi Meer میر تقی میر. He uses simple language and his ashaar اشعار depict the pain of a sensitive heart. His idiom is that of a common man. That made him very popular, especially among the citizens of Lahore. In a TV interview shortly before his death, he said: horse riding, hunting, wandering in villages, walking along the river side, visiting mountains, were my favorite pastimes and probably this was the time when my mind got nourishment for loving nature and getting close to the expression of poetry. All my hobbies are related with fine arts, like singing, poetry, hunting, chess, love of birds, love of trees ... I started poetry because I used to reflect that all the beautiful things those I see, and those in nature are not in my hands, and they go away from me. Few moments, that time which dies, cannot be made to live. I think that it can be alive in poetry, that is why I started poetry.' His publications: برگِ نے Barg-e Ney (1952), سُر کی چھایا Sur Ki Chhaya (1971, Verse Drama), دیوان Deewaan (1972, ghazals), پہلی بارش Pehli Baarish (1975, ghazals), نشاطِ خواب Nishat-e Khwab (1977, poems/nazms), خُشک چشمے کے کنارے Khushk Chashmey ke Kinarey (1982 , Prose: essays, interviews, etc), ناصر کاظمی کی ڈائری Nasir Kazmi Ki Dairy (1995), کلیات Kulliyaat. He also edited selected poetry of Meer Taqi Meer, Nazeer Akbarabadi, Wali Deccani, and Insha Ullah Khan Insha.

David Rome....Chogyam Trungpa...Poetry....Naropa...1974.... THE SPONTANEOUS SONG OF ENTERING INTO THE BLESSINGS AND PROFOUND SAMAYA OF THE ONLY FATHER GURU Shri Heruka, the unchanging vajra mind, The primordial buddha, all-pervading, the protector of all, Padma Trime, you are the lord, the embodiment of all the victorious ones. You are always reflected in the clear mirror of my mind. In the space of innate ground mahamudra, The dance of the self-luminous vajra queen takes place, And passion and aggression, the movements of the mind, become the wheel of wisdom; What joy it is to see the great ultimate mandala! The confidence of the unflinching youthful warrior flourishes, Cutting the aortas of the degraded three lords of materialism And dancing the sword dance of penetrating insight; This is the blessing of my only father guru. Inviting the rays of the waxing moon, Vajra Avalokiteshvara, The tide of the ocean of compassion swells, Your only son, Chokyi Gyatso, blossoms as a white lotus; This is due to the limitless buddha activity of my guru. In the vast space of mahashunyata, devoid of all expression, The wings of simplicity and luminosity spread As the snake-knot of conceptual mind uncoils in space; Only father guru, I can never repay your kindness. Alone, following the example of the youthful son of the victorious ones, Riding the chariot of the limitless six paramitas, Inviting infinite sentient beings as passengers, Raising the banner of the magnificent bodhisattvas, I continue as your heir, my only father guru. Like a mountain, without the complexities of movement, I meditate in the nature of the seven vajras, Subjugating Rudra with the hundred rays of deva, mantra, and mudra, Beating the victory drum of the great secret vajrayana, I fulfill the wishes of my only father, the authentic guru. In the sky of dharmadhatu, which exhausts the conventions of the nine yanas, Gathering rainclouds thick with the blessing of the ultimate lineage, Roaring the thunder of relentless crazy wisdom, Bringing down the rain that cools the hot anguish of the dark age, As I transform existence into a heavenly wheel of dharma, Please, my only father, authentic guru, come as my guest.

Phoebe Snow - "Poetry Man" (1975) Tribute (1952-2011)

Order: Reorder

Updated: 14 Feb 2010

Phoebe Snow, singer of 1970s hit 'Poetry Man,' dies at 60 Phoebe Snow received wide acclaim for her self-titled album, which showed off her multi-octave range and musical versatility. She had suffered a brain hemorrhage in January 2010. Phoebe Snow, a singer and songwriter who gained fame with her 1974 self-titled album that featured the hit single "Poetry Man," has died. She was 60. Snow died Tuesday in Edison, N.J., her longtime friend and public relations representative, Rick Miramontez, said. She had suffered a brain hemorrhage in January 2010. But Snow was never able to duplicate her early commercial success. Her career took a backseat to caring for her daughter, Valerie Rose Laub, who was born in 1975 with severe brain damage. She sang commercial jingles for such companies as Stouffer's and General Foods, which she said paid well. Her daughter died in 2007. A few months later, Snow started performing again, trying to deal with her loss. "Right now it's beyond a hole. It's a black hole," she told the Record of Bergen County, N.J., in 2008. "I don't even know how to describe that vacancy because it was such an intense relationship. We lived together for 31 years. She was a perennial child. I was her primary caregiver. ... We were best friends. It was beyond a loss. I don't even know what word to use." Snow was born Phoebe Laub on July 17, 1950, in New York City and grew up in Teaneck, N.J. As a youngster she studied piano, then switched to the guitar. "I always wanted to be the greatest woman guitarist alive," she told The Times in 1976. "I had fantasies about being a female Jimi Hendrix. I would go to his concerts and watch all the things he did. But I guess I just wasn't meant to be a superstar guitarist." Her poetry became the basis of her lyrics, and she started playing at New York clubs. She signed with Shelter Records in 1974. She moved to Columbia Records in 1976 after sometimes nasty legal wrangling with Shelter. "Second Childhood" earned her a second gold record, but subsequent Columbia releases did not sell as well. She left the label at the end of the 1970s. After being quiet most of the 1980s, Snow recorded a comeback album in 1989's "Something Real" for Elektra. "I faded away for a while out of necessity," she told The Times in 1998 "In hindsight, I missed out on some good or productive years. On the other hand ... I really made the only choice I could under the circumstances." Snow's marriage to Phil Kearns ended in divorce. She is survived by a sister, Julie Laub. Phoebe Snow (born July 17, 1952) is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for her 1975 hit "Poetry Man". Snow is described by The New York Times as a "contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves." Born Phoebe Ann Laub in New York City, Snow was raised in a household where Delta blues, Broadway show tunes, Dixieland jazz, classical music and folk music recordings were played around the clock. Her father, Merrill Laub, was an exterminator by trade and her mother, Lili, was a dance teacher who died of bone cancer. She grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and graduated from Teaneck High School. As a teenager, she carried her prized Martin 00018 acoustic guitar from club to club around Greenwich Village, playing and singing on amateur nights. Her stage name is the same as a fictional advertising character created in the early 1900s for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, a young woman named Phoebe Snow, who appeared on boxcars traveling near her hometown. She changed her name from Phoebe Laub to Phoebe Snow. She was briefly married to Phil Kearns, and, in December 1975, gave birth to a severely brain-injured daughter, Valerie. Snow resolved not to institutionalize her but instead care for her at home, which she did until Valerie died on March 18, 2007 at the age of 31. Snow's efforts to care for Valerie greatly and negatively affected her professional career, nearly ending it; it also adversely affected her personal life.

Poem by American poet John Crowe Ransom (1888-1974) Agrarian poet of the American South.

Vision by Sweetwater Go and ask Robin to bring the girls over To Sweetwater, said my Aunt; and that was why It was like a dream of ladies sweeping by The willows, clouds, deep meadowgrass, and the river. Robin's sisters and my Aunt's lily daughter Laughed and talked, and tinkled light as wrens If there were a little colony all hens To go walking by the steep turn of Sweetwater. Let them alone, dear Aunt, just for one minute. Till I go fishing in the dark of my mind: Where have I seen before, against the wind, These bright virgins, robed and bare of bonnet, Flowing with music of their strange quick tongue And adventuring with delicate paces by the stream-- Myself a child, old suddenly at the scream From one of the white throats which it hid among?

Updated: 30 Oct 2012

Poem by John Crowe Ransom (1888-1974) Mock-heroic battle between a bull and a dog. The tone is broadly comic, the ending extremely violent. A poem some may find easier to appreciate than to like. Ransom is a striking poet, but can arouse ambivalence for many reasons, many derived from the Southern patriarchal culture that he wrote from--it seems a different time and place for many. He is a skilled poet though, and to some extent fascinating, like a bother that won't go away and one doesn't know quite what to do about.
