Would you recommend any horror movie anthologies that you can think of?

Posted by admin on December 30th, 2010 and filed under anthologies | 5 Comments »

Movies like Creepshow and such.

Check out these.
1. TALES FROM THE CRYPT (the British film, not the tv series)
2. THE VAULT OF HORROR
3. TALES FROM THE HOOD (better than it sounds)
4. TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE
5. CREEPSHOW 2 (avoid part 3, an in name only sequel)
6. TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE
7. JOHN CARPENTER’S BODY BAGS
I don’t think the other posters know what an anthology is.

Looking for some good poetry anthologies; care to make any suggestions?

Posted by admin on December 28th, 2010 and filed under anthologies | 1 Comment »

My taste in poetry is more inclined towards prose, imagery and lyrical poetry. Although any type will do.

Links to sites selling the suggested material would also be appreciated.

Hello Mr. Smith,

This year I read "The Anthology of Australian Literature" (well, most of it). That is where I found Gwen Harwood shooting that Barn Owl; a gut-wrencher…

I have a few in my collection, they are all either American poetry, American editions or American translations. My favorite is "Love Songs of the New Kingdom." It is a 1968 translation of Ancient Egyptian poetry and love songs done by John L. Foster of the University of Chicago.

My second favorite was a birthday gift from Elaine, "War and the Poet" by Eberhart/Rodman. There are many English collections of war poetry. This one is an American edition.

Where can I find a published copy of this poem for forensics?

The slam poets Rachel McKibbens and Marty McConnell perform together as "The Piper Jane Project". They wrote a poem called "Spine" that was on the IndieFeed podcast a while back. I would really love to use this as a forensics piece, but I need a published source. Is there a book or anthology with an ISBN number where I can get the exact transcript to use for competition?

Slam poetry often doesn’t have a definitive text (for a number of reasons).

If you can cite an actual documented performance (a link to YouTube is usually good enough) that should satisfy most authentication boards.

What Poem can I compare "Two Scavengers…" with in the Anthology ?

Posted by admin on December 20th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 2 Comments »

and what reason?

I have this exam tomorrow so bare with me with my answer lol.
You could use Limbo for its repetition
But I would probably recommend ‘What were they like’ as it shows the difference in society before and after as well as TS shows society today. You could also mention about TS’s structure and layout. Its all broken which could connote today’s society and how it is just as equally disjointed.

Also the reader leaves the poem asking whether or not the Poem agree’s with the rich way of life or not? As he describes the bin men as ‘Gargoyle’ and ‘Quasimodo’ although on the surface (physically) the poet and his word choice may come across negative a gargoyle actually got rid of evil spirits as bin men prevent/get rid of disease and rubbish etc. You could compare this point with vultures also saying that they also prevent rubbish and bad disease by eating ‘dead flesh’

Both of the poems TS and What were they like also use oxymoronic uses such as (Two scavs-) Plastic Blazers and in WWTL, Bitter sweet. – plastic comes across as cheap whereas a blazer is something a high standard/class person wears. I’d like to thing the bitter sweet oxymoron is more obvious to be explaining. Just incase you don’t know and oxymoron is putting two contrasting things/words together. Hope I helped.

What Carol Ann Duffy poem can I compare ‘Kid’ to?

Posted by admin on December 18th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 2 Comments »

I have to compare how feelings are respresented in Simon Armitage’s ‘Kid’ to a Carol Ann Duffy poem, and two Pre-1914 poems from the AQA English GCSE Anthology. What poems should I compare it to? Thanks!!

Kid is not about parent/son relationships! It’s about Robin ditching Batman! The feelings is expresses are about growing up, growing old, becoming independent. It’s got quite a sarcastic tone to it. You could try comparing it to Before You Were Mine, as both poems explore feelings of separation from an adult figure, although Before You Were Mine is much more loving in tone.

For pre 1914 poems, you could use My Last Duchess (again, the speaker in the poem is referring to someone who is not there any more, his dead wife). And perhaps On My First Sonne. All the feelings in all four of those poems are very clear and easy to write about.

Thank goodness they’ve got rid of the anthology for next year!

What is the story of each poem in the Anthology ?

Making a Poem Anthology: Copyright Info?

Posted by admin on December 14th, 2010 and filed under poem anthology | 1 Comment »

As part of a book I’m writing I want to include a small anthology of poems from american poets. What is the status with poetry copyrights? What poems are in the public domain and what ones will I need to get permission to reproduce?
A lot of poems, even very recent ones, can be read for free on the internet but using poems in a published book in which money is spent is probably different from the Internet.

I would check the U.S. copyright office for the answers to the type of questions you’re asking. I know it’s changed the last time I checked, which was a while ago, but I think copyright right on text lasts for the life of the author, plus 75 years after their death or after the life of the copyright renewal, whichever comes first. But for publications before 1975, the copyright was plus 95 years after the author’s death, but I’m really not sure about that. You’d definitely have to go to their site to be sure.

If you’re including poetry in your book that has not been written by you and that has been written in the last 100 years, I’d suggest acquire permissions for reproduction. The legal process that would follow, if you didn’t, gets quite nasty. Since you’re actually printing the works and making a profit from it, it’s best to err on the side of caution.

P.S. If you plan to just extract a few lines of poetry, you can extract two lines of poetry and not have to seek permissions. It’s called "fair use" (running two lines of poetry into one line doesn’t count as one, by the way).

How many released versions of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" are there?

Posted by admin on December 12th, 2010 and filed under anthology album | 3 Comments »

I’m writing a paper on the song (Man, I love being a music major) and we have to talk about all of the different versions that were released. I can only find the version released on the Anthology and the one from the White album. Other than the covers (from the "Across the Universe" movie and by other bands), were there any other versions of this song released by the Beatles that any of you know about?

Hello !
U2 does a cover of it ! =)

IT SUCKS. BELIEVE ME. ( I mean, I LOVE U2 ) but it sucks. It was there ‘disco" era. -.-
