Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Author Barbara Sher Tinsley grew up in Gloversville, a 19th-century town in upstate New York.'It had an excellent Carnegie Library, which I visited after the second grade all alone. I was turned on to literature by the story hour in that library. While the town produced a great American novelist (Richard Russo), it produced me, too, an historian, a poet. I attribute my writing interests to an excellent education beginning in this town, and to a happy home life with a huge victory garden, giving me a life-long love for gardening.'A pandemic discourages travel. Who enjoys grocery shopping Watching grim newscasts Reading forgotten novels Travelling in Place, etc., recalls our past, allowing for post-pandemic planning circling our yard, relaxing in bed. There, I 'travel' to the third grade. (#1'Travel Companions'); relive a favorite childhood day (#21 'Picking Apples Near Cooperstown, N.Y.') or, as an adult, recall a book club (#28) meeting when some members didn't read the book; didn't understand it if they had.Travelling to 'Other Places' tugs on our yearning to escape staying 'in place.' My frequent trips to Western Europe (#91 'From an Old Travel Journal') carries you from Normandy to Rome, and may remind you of your travels; your shaky mastery of foreign languages; your certain mastery of self!I travel here in my poetry in two ways: One, by reflecting on my past and present; its richness. This I call mental 'travel.' Such are poem #1, 'Travelling Companions,' and #2, 'Porch Pillars.'Others include #17, 'Hill Climbing,' and #18, 'Hearts and Gardens,' plus the plots of two novels, #7, 'Holden,' and #86, 'The Golden Bowl.' For reading, also see #28, 'Book Club.'Trips to a Mozart opera or to Georgia O'Keefe's or Vermeer's art exhibits in San Francisco are journeys, too.'Trips' to the German Renaissance (#73) and to classical Greece (#19) also moved me, after majoring in Renaissance-Reformation history and having written a book on classical antiquity, several on the Reformation.Is this travel Decide for yourself, reader!Her extensive European travel (France, Spain, Italy) reveals poetry of conventional travel and residence, as in # 91, 'From an Old Travel Journal,' containing a series of thirteen related poems, from Frankfurt, to Normandy, Paris, Torino, Genoa, and Rome.(About the Author)World traveler Barbara Sher Tinsley has been a professor of French, humanities, world literature, history, and English composition at Stanford, Santa Clara University, San Jose State, Stephens College, and several community colleges in Northern California.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Barbara Sher Tinsley, Ph.D. (Stanford'83), has applied her academic, artistic, and literary knowledge, musical gifts, and love of nature to creating Phonotactics, The Sounds of Poetry. She is a singer of the broad culture, the personal, of family life, sensuality, history, philosophy, place, and the significance of a well-rounded life.The seemingly simplest of her poems are sometimes the deepest; the most complex appearing may be easier. Satire, humor, tenderness. These are her tactics of poetic sound, our surroundings, thoughts. Her surround sound is not in theaters, but in experience.A Fulbright Fellow and resident (two years) of Paris, Florence, Italy's Tyrol, and Almuñecar, Spain, where net menders gathered each morning, inspired a painting and a poem. Her long residence in California's Bay Area has enriched her life.A professor of French, humanities, world literature, history, and English composition at Stanford, Santa Clara University, San Jose State, Stephens College, and several community colleges, she has published four books on European history; three on poetry, (another forthcoming); a novel on Italian culture; and articles in various encyclopedias and academic journals. Her biography appears in Who's Who in America and she is listed in The Dictionary of American Philosophers. Dr. Tinsley's poems on language, philosophy, love, writing, music, history, geology, archaeology, astronomy, insomnia, business, family, hacking, fake news, violent movies, computers, gardens, art, contentment, literary criticism, let us meet not just the poet, but ourselves. For, as Aristotle thought best, she deals with universals, our shared humanity. Her first two poetry collections are Art, Passion, Poetry (2015), and Streaming Consciousness (2016). The fourth, Travelling in Place . and to Other Places, will appear shortly. As one perceives from my dedication, music was on my mind my uncles' and my own to create poetry that is truly musical, with meter, rhyme, and compelling themes.Phonotactics was a word I discovered thumbing through my dictionary while looking for another word. I had no idea what it meant, but learned that sound involves tactics and techniques, all involved in poetry.My own poems are quite varied, from Renaissance villanelles and sonnets to philosophical musings on great thinkers. The poetry honors historical monuments to monuments dedicated to man's cultural achievements, and to their corruption or destruction by barbarians, old and modern.My first two poetry collections are Art, Passion, Poetry (2015), and Streaming Consciousness (2016). The fourth, Travelling in Place . and to Other Places, will appear shortly. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Born in l938, Barbara Sher Tinsley grew up in Gloversville, New York. Taken to the movies on Saturdays after age four, there she learned about World War II's horror 'stories' and in family conversations. Some family members had immigrated from Poland and Russia.In the l940s, many movies were musicals. Her mother sang and Barbara learned to love those songs. At five, she began piano lessons and began reading. She could distinguish instrumental sounds from each other, which was important for subsequent poetic efforts, begun at age eight or nine.She wed poetry with feature writing for her high school newspaper in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Two of her works written when she was 16 are included in this book (Nos. 10 and 14). She was her class salutatorian.Intrigued by history, languages (French, Spanish, and later Italian and German), Barbara made many trips abroad. Two years of family life in Paris, Florence, and Southern Spain) improved her language skills. (Nos. 56, 7, 15, 29, 42, 63, 115) Nothing could have made a larger imprint on her poetry than a solid foundation in the humanities. The author earned a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A Woodrow Wilson fellowship took her to Cal, Berkeley. After the birth of two children (punctuated by many solo trips to Europe, and prolonged residence abroad with her family), Barbara finally completed her Ph.D. at Stanford, and then received a Fulbright Fellowship to Strasbourg, France.She has written four European history books; a novel on Italian art history, love, and tragedy; and four previous poetry books published by SBPRA.The author has lived for many years in Los Gatos, California, in the Bay Area.…
