Muse

second oldest in a family of four kids, I originally agreed with this sentiment. I’ve had more than my fair share of being forgotten by my parents at shops. Twice the amount of all my siblings combined. But, in Charles Bukowski’s poem “Betting on the Muse”, he describes how the fear of deteriorating and being forgotten motivates an individual to work towards becoming someone of significance. This idea he expressed made me pause and reflect. Perhaps being the middle “forgotten” child is really a…

Inspire me, Muse, in telling the age long tale of a girl tormented in many ways, yet she could conquer any obstacle in her path. The girl that could defeat any creature, no matter the horror. Her name was Eleanor Hughes. Eleanor was the strongest warrior among many who had the determination to destroy the three strongest monsters known to man. She dared not to listen to anyone for she was set on a path to right was had been done wrong. The only thing she wanted was to live a life without worry,…

the honed lyric. She gives narrative prose poems a whirl too. But the most memorable poems are those in which the awareness of being a “halfbreed” creates a powerful inner tension manifested in the form itself.

The front cover of Anne Bradstreet’s The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, a book of poetry, describes Bradstreet as a gentlewoman. This description and Bradstreet’s repeated exclamations that she did not initiate the publication of her works lessened the controversy surrounding the publication of a Puritan woman’s poetry. In the seventeenth-century, it was uncommon for women to write for pleasure, yet Bradstreet was such an accomplished poet that she became the first published author…

with eight children. In fact, women did not write and published poetry in the sixteenth or the seventeenth century. But Bradstreet was so prevailed in her art that she is credited with the first published book of poetry from the New World: The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in New England. Bradstreet’s fortunes took a turn for the worse in later life. While she had success in childbearing, her daughter in law Mercy, wife of her oldest son Samuel, lost four children in rapid succession and then died…

exhibited during this time, and the events leading up to the rescue. In 1989, Kurt Muse an American business man and reported CIA operative was arrested in Miami airport after assisting a small group of his Panamanian friends to broadcast a message of what they called “a message of hope” over the radio during a speech being given by militaristic tyrant, General Manuel Noriega. Noriega took this as a threat, and took Muse to Carcel Modelo prison for him…

There are many different Greek Goddesses. The original six names are Hera, Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, Hestia, and Demeter. Some of the non original are Dione, Eris, Gaia, and Hebe. The muses names were Clio, Urania, Melpomene, Thalia, Terpsichore, Calliope, Erato, Polyhymnia, and Euterpe. The muses had all different jobs. Can’t forget about Nyx. Nyx was the greek goddess of the night. There was also a greek goddess and/or Queen of the underworld Persephone. She ruled the underworld with her…

all our tears in it! There’s nothing beyond Art, that is the fierce almighty god who strikes us with his thunder, and whom you honour! he may crush us, since he is the master, and you will still bless his name!’” (Chapter XII, page503) Claude has a muse that drives him crazy and was willing to give up everything for it, his painting, the masterpiece that leads him to a series of dramatic and inspiring life with the materiel of, death, struggle, poverty, inhuman, and see through the life beyond…
