I believe that the most important event in my poet's life was in 1959 during the Cuban Revolution. It was in this time frame that her writing style changed from introspective and meditative to more political. It was not simply her views and beliefs that changed but also her whole character in general. She became more active in her efforts to open her reader's eyes to the sufferings of women and those struggling against war and poverty around the world.
ReplyDeleteThe most important event in my poets life is when she was arrested for writing against the Cuban government. Her arrest was very dramatic, and included her being handcuffed and the police trying to feed her the manifesto she wrote. She was beaten for seven days before she had a trial. The trial ended with her being convicted. She then spent two years in prison. Much of her poetry is about the government and her imprisonment. However, much of it is still in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most important happenings in my poet's life was in 1938 when he was arrested for stirring up the Turkish armed forces to the point of a revolt. He was sentenced to nearly thirty years in prison.

The significant event in Cecilia Meireless's life would be her parents and her first husband's death. Her father died 3 months before her birth(1901), her mother died when she was 3 years old (1903), and her first husband committed suicide from suffering acute depression (1935). In response to the loss of her loved ones, she changed her style of writing from "the visionary exoticism of earlier Brazilian poets towards more internal themes of time, change, and mortality." Her poems are focused on the themes of the change in time and the meaningless in life. This made her want to write poems about ideal solitude in a timeless universe.

ReplyDeleteThe most significant event in Okot P'Bitek is when he wrote Song of Lawino and it was published in 1966. This is the most important event of my poet's life, because this is the poem that made Okot known world wide. After this poem people really started to read his work. It was the final breakthrough that got his career started.
In my opinion, I believe that the most significant event that took place in my poet's life would be World War 2. My reason is because this event had a very powerful impact on people all over the world. It was especially traumatic because of the bombing that took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan went into a time of depression yet, Shuntaro Tanikawa was still able to write poems and they dealt with world issues. Not only was he able to continue writing, he was also able to develop a style of poetry that combined traditional Asian style and western style of poetry. With his writing, he was able to bring about a "Universal Consciousness."

the most importaint event for octacio Paz was mosltlikely the 1937 anti-facist writer's congress in spain. this was an importaint event because it was when his writing career realy started. this convention helped him come under the public eye as a writer with great potential. this trip also inspired a collection of poems called "Bajo tu clara sombra y otros poemas." this collection was mainly about his travels in spain durring its civil war. also durring this trip, octavio was exposed to some surrealism poetry, which greatly influenced his work.

I believe that the most significant event that Shu Ting underwent was the Cultural Revolution in China. At the time she was only in high school. During these years her father was accused of political nonconformity. This lead to the family being sent to the country side to work in factories and mills of different sorts. However, though this time was bad and hard for Shu Ting, she also was able to grow. This was the time that she was introduced to foreign poetry. Simply reading these poems caused Shu Ting to want to write her own poems. China's cultural revolution was what enabled Shu Ting to begin what would soon be a great life. I think that her poem "Assembly Line" portrays Shu Tings feelings during the cultural revolution.
ReplyDeleteAssembly Line
In time's assembly line
Night presses against night.
We come off the factory night-shift
In line as we march towards home.
I think this is showing her frustration and obedience to the ruling power. It shows that she know what the government is doing and that the people are simply following along with it. But at the same time it shows her hope.

I think that the most important event in Gu Cheng's life was when he published his first set of poems in 1986. After this he started to experiment in different styles. I think that his first set of poems most likely set the foundation for his career. With his well established foundation he went on to be a well known Chinese poet. However, his life came to an end after committing suicide.
ReplyDeleteThere are no poems that show his response to the event.
A very important/ emotional time in Antjie Krog's life was when Nelson Mandela was released from prison, and after the first few weeks he formed the "truth and reconciliation commission." In which people guilty to inhuman acts during the Apartheid years before admitted their guilt, and begged for forgiveness from those they had victimized. Antjie Krog is not only a brilliant poet and writer, but she is also a journalist. She was a journalist for SABC, and she covered the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It was very emotional for her to listen to all of the grievances and suffering of the people, and she felt deep sadness for all of the bad things that happened in her country. She also felt in awe of President Mandela because he was so forgiving, and forward thinking~ and she later translated his book "Long Walk to Freedom" into Afrikaans.

Between you and me

how desperately it aches between you and me
so much hurt for truth
so much destruction
so little left for survival
where do we go from here
your voice slung

over the solid cold length of our past
how long does it take
for a voice
to reach another
in this country held bleeding between us

I think the biggest event in my authors life would have to be being awarded by Iowa's International Writers' Progam and Mexican Writers' Centre. I picked these two because it shows that for her many years of writing and translating she was finally awarded. She started off writing poems at a very young age so it shows that she really has a passion for it because she's stuck with it for so many years. She wrote many collections of books and translated a lot too. So she really did deserved to be awarded for her literature.

in my opinion the most important point in Gabriela Mistral's life was when she won the nobel prize for literature. she received this award after she published her book Desolacíon. i think this was the most important time in her life because it was really the first time she was honored for her work.

ReplyDeleteOctavio Paz is known around the world as one of the greatest surrealist poets and writers of the 20th century. he was born on March 31, 1914 in Mexico City. Paz's most famous poem is Sun Stone, which has roots in aztec beliefs. Octavio traveled in 1937 to the international congress of anti-facist writers in Spain, and on the same trip, was exposed to surrealism in france. Octavio co-founded the Mexican magazine Taller, or "workshop". paz married the writer Elena Garro, now concidered one of Mexico's Finest writers. Paz also was mexico's ambasador to india, and wrote many famous works in the forighn country, including EL mono Gramatico, and Ladera este. in 1990, Octavio Paz recieved the nobel prize in literature, securing his name as one of the greatest modern writers. he died in mexico city in 1998. for my essay i will focus on forming an event around what might have happened on a day durring his travels in war torn spain based on a poem paz wrote at the time.

ReplyDeleteOkot P'bitek was a poet born in Uganda in 1931. Throughout his life, he taught many classes at many different universities, and published many works of art. He later died on July, 20 1982. Out of all of the sifnificant events in this man's life however, the most important of all must have been when his first poem, The Song of Lawino, was published. This is for sure the most important moment. Of Okot's life, because after a lot of hard work this is proof that it payed off. It also was the first work of his that was published, and it is what got his career moving.
Shu Ting is the pen name for Gong Peiyu. She was born in 1952. Her home town is Fujian, China. During her life, Shu Ting faced many challenges and managed to overcome them. When she was only in high school the Cultural Revolution was racing ahead. Her father was accused of political nonconformity causing the whole family to be forced out to the country side. The family was also forced to work in factories and mills while in exile. These hard times were what ultimately introduced Shu Ting to poetry. She began to read foreign poetry and write her own. The poems that she wrote went on to be award winning literature and the cause of her success winning the National Poetry Award in 1981 and 1983. Her poems are often romantic and are thought of as a reaction to the repression of romance in all things during the Grea Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The following story will explore the possibilities of the day that Shu Ting and her family were sent to the countryside.

Shuntaro Tanikawa was born on December 5, 1931. He had grown up in Tokyo City, Japan. He lived a fairly common life and had a passion for writing. When he was still a young boy, World War II took place. From this point, Japan's citizens experienced hard times where they had to constantly be afraid of the possibility that there will be a bombing. The situation only became worse when American Bomberes dropped two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan had entered where people were hopeless, yet, Shuntaro Tanikawa was able to continue with his passion for writing. Shuntaro Tanikawa has now become one of the most well known poets in both Japan and America. He mainly writes about the problems that are in the world and because of it, he has won many awards. The following story is a speculation of the day that the atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima.

Cecilia Meireless was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the year of 1901. She grew up as an orphan. Her father, Carlos Alberto de Carvalho, died 3 months before she was just born. Her mother, Mathide Benevides, died when she was 3 years old. Cecilia also had 3 brothers but they all died before she was born. With no family left behind, she was soon raised by her grandmother Jacinta Garcia Benevides as her guardian. Once she grew up she discovered her passion for poetry. She made her debut in 1919 at the age of eighteen. Once her grandmother died in 1932, Cecilia had some of her poetry focus on the themes of passing of time and the meaningless of life. She wrote her poetry in Portuguese and was considered as one of the most important Brazilian poets. The story below will be focusing on the probable day of Cecilia’s orphanhood.

Claribel Alegria was born in Nicaragua in 1924. That same year she moved to Santa Ana, El Salvador which she adopted as her own country instead. Alegria was writing since she was six years old.She was forced to live in exile since her father was a supporter to Augusto Cesar Sandino, who was thought to be a hero in Latin America but a rebellious bandit to the U.S. In 1943 she moved to the United States and earned her B.A. in philosophy and Letters at George Washington University. Alegria, has always stuck behind her own personal rule of nonviolent resistance even when she was in close works with the Sandinista National Liberation Front. This movement took control of the Nicaragua government and overthrew Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979, a dictator who assassinated Augusto. Alegria later returned to Nicaragua to help the country reconstruct in 1985. Within her lifetime between 1947 and 1995 she met a man by the name of Darwin J. (Bud) Flakoll, who would become her husband, publisher, and fellow writer. The following story is a possibility of one of her days after her husband had past which lead her to write one of her poems in her book "Suadade" meaning sorrow.

As a journalist she covered the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that featured Nelson Mandela. She felt very passionate about the TRC, and she felt great sorrow for the many people in her country who had faced such awful/ terrible hardships during the apartheid... and she found it especially amazing that Nelson Mandela was such a forgiving person. A common them of her poems is struggle, and the grief her country has faced. The following story is about the pain that the native black people suffered through during the apartheid, because of the Dutch Afrikaners.

the car stopped. the persistent noise that came from the military truck's motor was replaced with a profound silence that engulfed our small party, the silence of space. the noon sun shown down on northern spain with the same lght that had been there for thousands of years. we were in a place of no time. the rocks themselves were the smae rocks that had been there for the milenia.it was as if this palce was trapped in a bubble, secluded from the civil war that was tearing the country apart. it seemed as if the grass itself no longer grew at the pace of the pasing days. our large truck was completely out of place in a world that knew not of the intrusion of man and his war. the grassy knoll where i now stood, beside a mechanical beast, was un aware of the striffe of man, of hate, passion, and death. i stood in the silence of the wolrd, alongside my companions, as time and space passed by.

Wole Soyinka was born in western Nigeria in July of 1934. Being born into a black family, Wole Soyinka was beginning the journey of a hard life. He began writing during his teen years and realized that this is what he loved to do. Wole Soyinka has lived through many hardships and two major wars, WWII and the Nigerian Civil War. He did not fight in either of them but was arrested for writing an article in which many people did not agree with. In 1986, Wole Soyinka was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. He was the first Nigerian to be so honored and one of the first African Americans to win an award as honoring as the Nobel Prize. After being acknowledged as a brilliant man, Wole Soyinka was made head of an organization called UNESCO. This organization helped insure the longevity of African Culture and was a big influence for human civil rights. The following is the day in which Wole Soyinka was awarded with the Nobel Prize.
ReplyDelete“I don’t know what to write my speech about!!!” Soyinka said in an angry tone.
Soyinka had discovered that he was going to be awarded with Nobel Prize for literature just two days ago. The winner of any Nobel Prize is given about five minuets to address people he/she would like thank or address any important matters that they think should be heard. He had been given an opportunity for his voice to be heard all around the world. He could potentially influence important organizations to help Africa’s many needs. This moment could have a drastic effect on the future of Africa.
“I have to speak about something that will touch their hearts and will make them feel as if they have intervene, I put them in the shoes of these Africans in need.

Gabriela Mistral, My poet was born in 1889. She was born in Chile. She lived in Chile for her whole life. She worked for much of her life as an educator. Before she became a poet she was a writer. One of the most impacting things in her life was that her son died. In 1945 Gabriela Mistral won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Gabriela Mistral decided to become a poet after his death and wrote almost all of her poetry on the subject of his death. This is how I imagine the day of his death to be.
