Description

In the 1960s and 1970s, students and faculty at the newly established University of Papua New Guinea and the University of the South Pacific in Fiji begin to study, write, and publish poetry and stories in broadsides, chapbooks, zines, anthologies, and full-length collections. Other centers of Pacific poetry soon emerged across the Pacific, including Aoteaora (New Zealand), Samoa, Tonga, Hawaiʻi, Tahiti, and Guam. Today, several Pacific writers have become internationally renowned, and their work has been translated into multiple languages and media, including film. Pacific literature courses are now taught in high schools and colleges throughout Oceania, and there are publishers and literary journals dedicated wholly to Pacific writing. Several dissertations, theses, essays, and monographs have focused on the history, theory, and aesthetics of Pacific literature. Book festivals, reading series, open mics, spoken word slams, writing workshops, humanities councils, author retreats, and literary conferences have created a dynamic and vibrant Pacific literary scene.

In “Secrets of the Sea,” Assan provides commentary on the Syrian refugee crisis. The poem is for Alan Kurdi , a three-year-old Syrian boy whose name made global headlines in 2015 after he drowned in the mediterranean sea, but it is also for all the other refugees that lost their lives. Assan says Kurdi’s name changed the world, while others’ names remain “secrets of the sea.” This resource is perfect to help teach students how to use figurative language with these metaphor poem templates, encouraging children to fill in the gaps.

The ocean, which is both wild and serene, deadly and beautiful, is full of contrasts and mystery. Ocean poems can be dedicated to portraying the heart of the ocean, as well as analogies for romance and trauma, among other things. ‎ We’ve gathered these ocean poems from a range of sources to help you open your head and soul to the wide unknown.

And yet, the cleverness of the imagery is that the pools of fir could be a description of the green sea (resembling fir trees) or a description of actual fir trees whose green pine needles are washing over the mountains. This ambiguity is doubtless deliberate, because it fuses the land and the sea, the water and the trees, in one seamless image, suggesting the longed-for meeting of the two. Yet this story of a mariner and his crew, who suffer terrible misfortunes after they ill-advisedly kill an albatross, has become a classic long narrative poem and one of the defining poems of the English Romantic movement. In Watchet in Somerset, there is a statue of the Ancient Mariner, marking the place where Coleridge conceived of the idea for the poem.

from the poetic structures that cultivate dazzling settings to the metaphors that brim with possibility, Oceanic… reawakens my curiosity for a world that still holds so many undiscovered wonders.” — Literary Review This word mat of under-the-sea adjectives will be a perfect complement to this resource, helping to build a broader range of vocabulary.Poetry, both old and new, not only reveals the oceans’ uncanny beauty, it also frames the monstrous dilemmas of rising seas, pollution, and declining biodiversity. Poetry is unique because there is no word limit or specific formula that must be followed, so children can get creative and have free reign. It teaches children that you can say a lot in a few words, and it encourages them to think about the impact and importance that each word has within a poem. Written shortly after Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, “Dover Beach” is a breathtaking poem about a clash between science and religion. Staring down at the shoreline from a cliff, Arnold draws a parallel between the sand and sea and science and religion. Without drawing a definitive line in the sand, Arnold concedes that scientific discovery is beautiful, but it cannot make life meaningful without love.

The oceans are the heart of our globe and all of its inhabitants. They encompass roughly three-quarters of the planet and contain 97 percent of the world’s water.

Ocean Mightier than the Land This well-known ballad poem tells of the beautiful, painful memory of a lost love from the speaker’s youth. The speaker and his love, Annabel Lee, lived “in a kingdom by the sea,” which is depicted with a sense of innocence, youth, and romance. However, after his love’s unexpected death, the speaker juxtaposes the kingdom with “sepulcher there by the sea” to signify a more solid, gothic, and final feeling. Oil on canvas.
