"You Who Never Arrived", by Rainer Maria Rilke, read by Nigel Maister, Russell and Ruth Peck Artistic Director of the International Theatre Program.
"You who never arrived"
You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don't even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of the next
moment. All the immense
images in me--the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
suspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods--
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.
You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house--, and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced upon,--
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back
my too-sudden image. Who knows? perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...

Maya Angelou reciting her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning", at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Say what you will about Maya Angelou. Say she is a better poet than a memoir writer. Say that her prose is sometimes too flowery (I myself have been guilty of saying this); say that her poetry is too sing-song. Say whatever you like, and then tell me about the time that you were asked by a new president of a nation to read at his inauguration. I'm not saying I love every poem by every poet that I read, but in a world as arrogant as ours if you hear someone criticized (especially loudly) for being "too simplistic," I would be willing to bet that the person being criticized is at the very least worth taking the time to investigate. Once you've given him or her a fair hearing, feel free to voice your own opinion, but please don't prat on about what you've heard "experts" say. You can check out her impressive resume on Poets.org. http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/87
This is one very simple poem of Angelou's that just kicks me in the stomach with all that is not said, and how thoroughly it is not said. I apologize; I am really not the right person to read this one, I know. So I have chosen to focus more on the fun of it, rather than take it too seriously. I think Dr. Angelou would appreciate that. So forgive me in advance for a bit of silliness, but it's silliness that was very well written.
We are almost half-way through the thirty days of 2012's National Poetry Month, and so far I have kept up with my reading a day commitment. I will probably do a very brief recap of what it is I am doing, for those who haven't been in on it since day one. I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am.

"Apricots", by Jennifer Grotz, read by the author, who is a professor of English. The poem appears in her newly published book of poetry, entitled "Window Left Open".
"Apricots"
I judged them very carefully, as though
I'd been given the charge to determine
which are good or bad, and they were all good,
even the slightly overripe ones with bruises
had a bitter ferment that only brightened
the scent. And the too-young ones, firm
and slightly sour, not yet softened by the sun.
And the ripe ones, that felt like biting into
my own flesh, slightly carnivorous.
They had been elegant in the tree, tiny coquettes
blushing more and more until I picked them,
then they were minimalist and matte-colored
in wooden bowls, so barely furred one couldn't help
but clothe them, enclose them with your hand,
caress each one thoroughly before taking a bite,
exploring the handsome freckles left
from some minor blight.
Now I stand under the tree and
pluck them one after the other.
Each one tastes different, like a mind having
erratic thoughts. Going into the trance
halfway between eating and thinking,
the thought of an apricot, the apricot of a thought,
whose goodness occurs over time, so that
some had been better earlier, others soon
would become correct, I mean ripe.

"The Argument of His Book", by Robert Herrick, read by Honey Meconi, Professor of Musicology, Chair and Professor of Music, College Music Department.
"The Argument of His Book"
I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
I write of youth, of love, and have access
By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;
I sing of dews, of rains, and piece by piece
Of balm, of oil, of spice and ambergris;
I sing of times trans-shifting, and I write
How roses first came red and lilies white;
I write of groves, of twilights, and I sing
The Court of Mab, and of the Fairy King;
I write of hell; I sing (and ever shall)
Of heaven, and hope to have it after all.
Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

National poetry
This is a list of articles about poetry in a single language or produced by a single nation.
World languages will tend to have a large body of poetry contributed to by several nations (Anglosphere, Francophonie, Latin America, German-speaking Europe), while for smaller languages, the body of poetry in a particular language will be identical to the national poetry of the nation or ethnicity associated with that language.

Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou (
i/ˈmaɪ.ə ˈændʒəloʊ/; born Marguerite Annie Johnson; April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014) was an American author, poet, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry, and was credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
She became a poet and writer after a series of occupations as a young adult, including fry cook, prostitute, nightclub dancer and performer, cast member of the opera Porgy and Bess, coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and journalist in Egypt and Ghana during the decolonization of Africa. She was an actor, writer, director, and producer of plays, movies, and public television programs. In 1982, she earned the first lifetime Reynolds Professorship of American Studies at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was active in the Civil Rights movement, and worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Beginning in the 1990s, she made around 80 appearances a year on the lecture circuit, something she continued into her eighties. In 1993, Angelou recited her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" (1993) at President Bill Clinton's inauguration, making her the first poet to make an inaugural recitation since Robert Frost at President John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.

"You Who Never Arrived", by Rainer Maria Rilke, read by Nigel Maister, Russell and Ruth Peck Artistic Director of the International Theatre Program.
"You who never arrived"
You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don't even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of the next
moment. All the immense
images in me--the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
suspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods--
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.
You, Beloved, who are all
the gardens I have ever gazed at,
longing. An open window
in a country house--, and you almost
stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced upon,--
you had just walked down them and vanished.
And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back
my too-sudden image. Who knows? perhaps the same
bird echoed through both of us
yesterday, separate, in the evening...
wn.com/National Poetry Month You Who Never Arrived By Rainer Maria Rilke
"You Who Never Arrived", by Rainer Maria Rilke, read by Nigel Maister, Russell and Ruth Peck Artistic Director of the International Theatre Program.
"You who never arrived"
You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don't even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of the next
moment. All the immense
images in me--the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
suspected turns in the path,
and those powerful lands that were once
pulsing with the life of the gods--
all rise within me to mean
you, who forever elude me.
You, Beloved, who are all

Maya Angelou reciting her poem, "On the Pulse of Morning", at President Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Say what you will about Maya Angelou. Say she is a better poet than a memoir writer. Say that her prose is sometimes too flowery (I myself have been guilty of saying this); say that her poetry is too sing-song. Say whatever you like, and then tell me about the time that you were asked by a new president of a nation to read at his inauguration. I'm not saying I love every poem by every poet that I read, but in a world as arrogant as ours if you hear someone criticized (especially loudly) for being "too simplistic," I would be willing to bet that the person being criticized is at the very least worth taking the time to investigate. Once you've given him or her a fair hearing, feel free to voice your own opinion, but please don't prat on about what you've heard "experts" say. You can check out her impressive resume on Poets.org. http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/87
This is one very simple poem of Angelou's that just kicks me in the stomach with all that is not said, and how thoroughly it is not said. I apologize; I am really not the right person to read this one, I know. So I have chosen to focus more on the fun of it, rather than take it too seriously. I think Dr. Angelou would appreciate that. So forgive me in advance for a bit of silliness, but it's silliness that was very well written.
We are almost half-way through the thirty days of 2012's National Poetry Month, and so far I have kept up with my reading a day commitment. I will probably do a very brief recap of what it is I am doing, for those who haven't been in on it since day one. I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am.

"Apricots", by Jennifer Grotz, read by the author, who is a professor of English. The poem appears in her newly published book of poetry, entitled "Window Left Open".
"Apricots"
I judged them very carefully, as though
I'd been given the charge to determine
which are good or bad, and they were all good,
even the slightly overripe ones with bruises
had a bitter ferment that only brightened
the scent. And the too-young ones, firm
and slightly sour, not yet softened by the sun.
And the ripe ones, that felt like biting into
my own flesh, slightly carnivorous.
They had been elegant in the tree, tiny coquettes
blushing more and more until I picked them,
then they were minimalist and matte-colored
in wooden bowls, so barely furred one couldn't help
but clothe them, enclose them with your hand,
caress each one thoroughly before taking a bite,
exploring the handsome freckles left
from some minor blight.
Now I stand under the tree and
pluck them one after the other.
Each one tastes different, like a mind having
erratic thoughts. Going into the trance
halfway between eating and thinking,
the thought of an apricot, the apricot of a thought,
whose goodness occurs over time, so that
some had been better earlier, others soon
would become correct, I mean ripe.

"The Argument of His Book", by Robert Herrick, read by Honey Meconi, Professor of Musicology, Chair and Professor of Music, College Music Department.
"The Argument of His Book"
I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
I write of youth, of love, and have access
By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;
I sing of dews, of rains, and piece by piece
Of balm, of oil, of spice and ambergris;
I sing of times trans-shifting, and I write
How roses first came red and lilies white;
I write of groves, of twilights, and I sing
The Court of Mab, and of the Fairy King;
I write of hell; I sing (and ever shall)
Of heaven, and hope to have it after all.
Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
