About this ebook
Footprints are a collection of poems that were either written or revised recently or recalled from work begun and lost fifty years before. Some recall pleasant memories of my beloved Veronica and some of her later struggles with ill health. She was born and grew up in Dublin and Ireland remained a special place for both of us. The DART from Howt
James Ten Eyck
Footprints est un recueil de poèmes qui ont été soit écrits, soit révisés récemment, soit rappelés d'un travail commencé et perdu cinquante ans auparavant. Certains rappellent d'agréables souvenirs de ma bien-aimée Veronica et d'autres de ses luttes ultérieures contre une mauvaise santé. Elle est née et a grandi à Dublin et l'Irlande est restée un endroit spécial pour nous deux. Le DART de Howth à Greystones "passe sous la couronne de la reine V et surgit pour admirer la vue au-dessus de la baie de Killiney " où se trouve "le visage magique de l'Irlande". Nous nous sommes rencontrés et mariés à Syracuse. Des événements et des lieux de cette époque sont présentés dans certains poèmes. Newtown Plus Five a été écrit peu de temps après la couverture médiatique du cinquième anniversaire du massacre de l'école de Sandy Hook. An Elegy for One and Many commémore la vie d'un ami victime du déchaînement de la synagogue de Pittsburgh, décédé au cours de la même période. De nombreux poèmes sont écrits sous des formes de vers et de rimes traditionnelles.Un certain nombre de poèmes reflètent les préoccupations concernant l'Amérique : le visage qu'elle présente au monde et l'état de sa démocratie. Ode from a Colonial Bowl raconte l'histoire familiale de sa fondation.Flint où "il était une fois l'Amérique parcourait (ses) artères de plomb pour soigner sa classe moyenne ". Au Vietnam, " nous avons vieilli, cinquante ans après l'époque où notre univers était devenu une boule chauffée à blanc ", pour retrouver les points communs que nous partagions dans notre jeunesse et poursuivre notre héritage commun. American Graffiti demande : Cicéron et César peuvent-ils coexister sous la contrainte républicaine ?Let Freedom Ring nous appelle à répondre aux "cloches lointaines de la liberté qui sonnent " en Ukraine. Le défi est de comprendre comment les deux poèmes peuvent être compatibles dans notre logique.
