ELEdward Lear
Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned today primarily for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularised. Lear was born into a middle-class family in the village of Holloway, the 21st child of Ann and Jeremiah Lear. He was raised by his eldest sister, also named Ann, 21 years his senior. Ann doted on Lear and continued to mother him until her death, when Lear was almost 50 years of age. Due to the family's failing financial fortune, at age four he and his sister had to leave the family home and set up house together. Largely educated by himself, Lear has been described as idiosyncratic yet brilliantly talented[citation needed]. Lear also suffered from health issues. From the age of six he suffered frequent grand mal epileptic seizures, and bronchitis, asthma, and in later life, partial blindness. Lear experienced his first seizure at a fair near Highgate with his...

ACAlbert Cătănuș
Beam us up, Scotty! Când aveam șapte ani i-au tras pe roată pe trei țărani la sute de kilometri de locul unde m-am născut: într-un cătun din câmpia Bărăganului, nu departe de orașul Brăila. Am fost al optulea copil în familie, iar pentru că eram slab și mă imbolnăvisem de friguri, dar mai ales pentru că nu voiam să sug la sân, la vârsta de opt luni, tata m-a dus la târg la Brăila iar acolo m-a dat unei cuconițe sterpe care voia un copil pe trei saci de grâu și patru găini. Știu șapte limbi în afară de română: greacă, rusă, turcă, bulgară, franceză, germană și albaneză. Înțeleg cam tot pe atâtea limbi cât cunosc. Pe tatăl și pe mama mea naturală nu i-am mai întâlnit niciodată. Toată familia mea a murit când aveam nouă ani. Unii spun că din cauza unei epidemii de tuberculoză care lovise în acele vremuri Bărăganul, alții spun că acel cătun a fost incediat de arendașul locului, iar alții mi-au spus că într-o noapte un batalion de ruși beți a trecut pe lângă el și fără preaviz soldații au...

KRKay Ryan
Kay Ryan was born in California in 1945 and grew up in the small towns of the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. She received both a bachelor\'s and master\'s degree from UCLA. Ryan has published several collections of poetry, including The Niagara River (Grove Press, 2005); Say Uncle (2000); Elephant Rocks (1996); Flamingo Watching (1994), which was a finalist for both the Lamont Poetry Selection and the Lenore Marshall Prize; Strangely Marked Metal (1985); and Dragon Acts to Dragon Ends (1983). About her work, J. D. McClatchy has said: \"Her poems are compact, exhilarating, strange affairs, like Erik Satie miniatures or Joseph Cornell boxes. She is an anomaly in today\'s literary culture: as intense and elliptical as Dickinson, as buoyant and rueful as Frost.\" Ryan\'s awards include the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, an Ingram Merrill Award, a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Union League Poetry Prize, the Maurice English Poetry...

Carmen Harra
Carmen Harra in her own words: Even as a little girl growing up in Romania, I knew I was different. After a near-death experience at age five, I was able to see things others couldn\'t. Everyone who has had a near-death experience describes the sensation of \"going toward the light.” In this parallel world, extraordinary light energy surrounds you and you see an inexpressibly beautiful light. There is no negativity and no anger or sadness, only love. It is a perfect, glowing world, filled with dazzling insights and pure truth, the way our Creator meant it to be. I\'ve never forgotten the lessons this experience taught me. Why, I wondered, wasn\'t life on Earth like this? This parallel world, which I call the Invisible World, is just as real as the physical world here on Earth. It is even more real because the people there are souls unencumbered by ego, emotions, and attachment to material things. Without these negative distractions, souls exist harmoniously in love, joy, and peace. On...

Sonet VII

Când soarele își saltă peste zare Arzânda-i frunte, toți, cu pietate, Primesc lumina celui ce răsare Și-omagiază sacra-i maiestate. Chiar și apoi, neîntrerupt pe boltă Urcând, păstează-ai tinereții...
