Dear readers and subscribers, I am overjoyed to share that this week has been remarkably inspiring as I immersed myself in the realm of American, French, and Russian poetry, enhancing our poetry sections with more poets and their enthralling works. Did you know that the unforgettable lines, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” immortalized on a bronze plaque at the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, and serving as a timeless symbol of hope and inclusion were penned by Emma Lazarus? The rich tapestry of emotions and experiences woven into the verses has left me spellbound, and it is a true delight to embark on this poetic journey with all of you. Let’s now explore the captivating world of our three poets.
Our first new poet, Velimir Khlebnikov, (1885-1922) whose real name is Viktor Vladimirovich Khlebnikov, is celebrated as a pioneering figure in Russian futurism. His groundbreaking work in reforming poetic language and fearless experimentation with word creation set him apart as a poet. Notably, he delved into morphological abstruseness, making him a distinct presence in Russian poetry. Roman Yakobson, who had a personal acquaintance with Khlebnikov, held him in the highest regard, referring to him as “the greatest world poet of the current twentieth century.” Khlebnikov’s contributions continue to inspire and captivate readers worldwide.
François-René, Vicomte de Chateaubriand (1768-1848), our second poet, emerged as a beacon of creativity during his time. A beacon of inspiration, he is regarded as a trailblazer of French Romanticism and a luminary in French literature. As a French writer, memoirist, and politician, his legacy continues to shine brightly in the literary world.
Our last poet, Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) was an inspiring American author celebrated for her poetry, prose, and translations, as well as her passionate activism for Jewish and Georgist causes. Her most renowned work, the sonnet “The New Colossus,” written in 1883, was a powerful response to the Statue of Liberty. Its iconic lines, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” are immortalized on a bronze plaque at the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, serving as a timeless symbol of hope and inclusion.
I hope you’ll find something to enjoy.
