Inhaltsangabe

Sun-up and other poems presents a profound reflection and exploration on the human experience through an evocative blend of emotion, observation, and introspection. The collection explores the intimate spaces of memory and identity while addressing broader social realities, weaving together the personal and collective aspects of existence. Through vivid imagery and lyrical language, the poems reveal the tensions between innocence and experience, joy and sorrow, and individuality and society. The work captures fleeting impressions of life, transforming them into lasting meditations on the power of perception and the resilience of the human spirit. Nature, childhood, and artistic expression emerge as recurring subjects that illuminate the relationship between the inner self and the outer world. The poet's distinctive voice channels sensitivity and strength, creating a body of work that feels both personal and universal. Each poem stands as a testament to the enduring search for meaning and connection within an ever-changing world.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Lola Ridge was an Irish-born New Zealand-American poet, editor, and activist whose work bridged art and social consciousness. Born on December 12, 1873, in Dublin, Ireland, to Emma Ridge, she spent much of her life between New Zealand and the United States, where she became a prominent figure in literary and political circles. Deeply engaged with issues of social justice, Ridge's poetry reflected her commitment to anarchist and feminist ideals, often voicing empathy for the marginalized and oppressed. She published five major poetry collections and contributed to avant-garde magazines that championed modernist experimentation and political reform. Her writing combined lyrical expression with a sharp awareness of class struggle and personal freedom. Associated with the Greenwich Village literary movement, Ridge became an influential editor and mentor to younger writers. She received both the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Shelley Memorial Award for her contributions to poetry. Ridge died on May 19, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire readers and writers dedicated to art's power to challenge and transform society.
