Описание:
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 Almu ecar, 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 andshe 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.

Описание:
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.

In this groundbreaking book, readers will learn: - what's behind their "hit and run" obsessions - when (and how) to finish what they start - how to do everything they love - what type of Scanner they are (and which tools they need to do their very best work)
