Famed for -- and ultimately defined by -- his perennial \"American Pie,\" singer/songwriter Don McLean was born October 2, 1945, in New Rochelle, NY. After getting his start in the folk clubs of New York City during the mid-\'60s, McLean struggled for a number of years, building a small following through his work with Pete Seeger on the Clearwater, a sloop that sailed up and down the eastern seaboard to promote environmental causes. Still, McLean was primarily singing in elementary schools and the like when in 1970 he wrote a musical tribute to painter Vincent Van Gogh; the project was roundly rejected by a number of labels, although MediaArts did offer him a contract to record a number of his other songs under the title Tapestry. The album fared poorly, but Perry Como earned a hit with a cover of the track \"And I Love Her So,\" prompting United Artists to pick up McLean\'s contract. He returned in 1971 with American Pie; the title track, an elegiac eight-and-a-half-minute folk-pop...

A scris poeme în proză, încărcate de zăpezi, de roadele pământului, de ploi, de lumină și de zgomote, alcătuiri materiale pline de misterul existenței și ale spiritului, lăsând însă cititorului dreptul de a interpreta după cuviință mesajul său. Dintre cărțile sale enumerăm: "Nisipul pământului și al visului" "Dinamita iubirii" "Întru în mine însumi" "Epifanii" "Cum arde lumânarea?" "Teză și antiteză" "Tridentul"

RTRichard Thompson
After earning a reputation as a fine guitarist in school bands like Emil and the Detectives, Richard had his first brush with ‘fame’ as a teenaged founding member of the 1960’s folk-rock pioneers, Fairport Convention. Playing an inventive musical mix of blues and California-style rock, the group was quickly dubbed “the new Jefferson Airplane”. The band’s founding members (Iain Matthews, Judy Dyble, Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol, Ashley Hutchings, Martin Lamble) were discovered playing in London’s Soho district, by American producer Joe Boyd. Boyd secured them a recording contract and their eponymous debut album was released in 1968. Shortly thereafter, the band’s lead vocalist, Judy Dyble, was replaced with the ethereal songstress, Sandy Denny. Other personnel changes followed and over the next four years, Fairport Convention gradually developed a more personal and British based repertoire. 1969’s Liege and Lief, long regarded as a milestone recording in defining British Rock,...

LDLéon-Gontran Damas
Léon-Gontran Damas est né le 28 mars 1912 à Cayenne (Guyane). Lorsque sa mère meurt en 1913, il est élevé par une tante, Gabrielle Damas (qui est la fameuse « Man Gabi »). Après l’école primaire à Cayenne, il continue ses études à Fort-de-France, au lycée Schœlcher (en 1925-26, il y partage les bancs avec Aimé Césaire). En 1928, Damas poursuit ses études secondaires à Meaux. Il reste en France et se fixe en 1929 à Paris. Il y entame des études de russe et de japonais. Il suit des cours de droit, fréquente également la faculté des Lettres et plus tard l’Institut d’Ethnologie de Paris. Témoin de discrimination raciale en métropole, Damas est sidéré devant ce qui se passe ailleurs aussi, sur le front fasciste européen et dans le pays de l’Oncle Tom. Plus qu’Aimé Césaire et Léopold Sédar Senghor (avec qui Damas forme le trio fondateur de la Négritude), Damas suivra de près le problème racial en Amérique : les lois « Jim Crow », les lynchages et les émeutes, la lutte pour les droits...

Jack Kerouac
Jack Kerouac (1922-1969) The American writer Jack Kerouac, b. Jean Louis Kerouac, Lowell, Mass., Mar. 12, 1922, d. Oct. 21, 1969, became the leading chronicler of the beat generation, a term that he coined to label a social and literary movement in the 1950s. After studying briefly at Columbia University, he achieved fame with his spontaneous and unconventional prose, particularly the novel On the Road (1957). After the success of this work Kerouac produced a series of thematically and structurally similar novels, including The Dharma Bums and The Subterraneans (both 1958), Doctor Sax (1959), Lonesome Traveler (1960), and Big Sur (1962). His loosely structured, autobiographical works reflect a peripatetic life, with warm but stormy relationships and a deep social disillusionment assuaged by drugs, alcohol, mysticism, and biting humor.

GHGerard Manley Hopkins
Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J. (28 July 1844 – 8 June 1889), was an English poet, Roman Catholic convert, and Jesuit priest, whose 20th-century fame established him posthumously among the leading Victorian poets. His experimental explorations in prosody (especially sprung rhythm) and his use of imagery established him as a daring innovator in a period of largely traditional verse. He was educated at Highgate School and then Balliol College, Oxford, where he studied classics. Hopkins was an unusually sensitive student and poet, as witnessed by his class-notes and early poetic pieces. It was at Oxford that he forged a friendship with Robert Bridges (eventual Poet Laureate of England) which would be of importance in his development as a poet, and his posthumous acclaim. Hopkins began his time in Oxford as a keen socialite and prolific poet, but he seemed to have alarmed himself with the changes in his behaviour that resulted, and he became more studious and began recording his sins in his...
