Resultados para "Georgie" en Poesía

As a poetical movement, Georgian poetry is easy to classify. It began naturally enough in 1910, when George V ascended to the throne of England. Edward Marsh, a civil servant, polymath and arts patron, decided that the verse of that time needed to be seen in its own right and from 1912-1922 set out to publish anthologies. Marsh agreed a deal with the poet and bookseller Harold Munro, who had recently opened The Poetry Bookshop in London’s Devonshire Street to publish the books in return for a share of the profits.

Georgie Eliotwell has, since childhood, written poems. Some were intended as songs—but Georgie is a terrible singer and knows little about music, so they remain a kind of hybrid of poem and song—able to be spoken, but wanting to be sung. They are "pongs." There are two quite long, comical poems in this book that were never intended for singing. The rest are "pongs". Georgie would have liked to have fronted a rock band, but at almost 73 years of age has accepted that that bird has flown.

The final volume of this collection features the work of 20 poets who were active just after the First World War.
