Hunting Poetry
Question:
Tried to post this last week, but I guess it didn’t get through. Thank you very much. I haven’t had much time to check into this yet, but I am heading to the library tomorrow, now that you’ve mentioned it, I remember reading some of his work and enjoying it. And no we aren’t limiting this to humans. Thank you again, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, I’ll let you know how I do.

Then also look at Robinson Jeffers’ , Hawk poems. Jeffers, perhaps the greatest American poet of the 20th Century. As you can see by my sig, I’m a great student of Jeffers. "The World’s in a bad way, my man, And bound to be worse before it mends; Better to lie up in the mountain here Said the old father of wild pigs, Plowing the fallow on Mal Paso Mountain.

From "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran On Eating and Drinking Then an old man, a keeper of an inn, said, "Speak to us of Eating and Drinking." And he said: Would that you could live on the fragerance of the earth, and like an air plant be sustained by the light. But since you must kill to eat, and rob the young of its mother’s milk to quench your thirst, let it then be an act of worship, And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in many. When you kill a beast say to him in your heart, "By the same power that slays you, I to am slain; and I too shall be consumed. For the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand. Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven." And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart, "Your seeds shall live in my body, And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart, And your fragrance shall be my breath, And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons." And in the autumn, when you gather the grapes of your vineyard for the winepress, say in you heart, "I to am a vinyard, and my fruit shall be gathered for the winepress, And like new wine I shall be kept in eternal vessels." And in winter, when you draw the wine, let there be in your heart a song for each cup; And let there be in the song a remembrance for the autumn days, and for the vineyard, and for the winepress.

Kipling is a good place to start: The Truce of the Bear Hunting-Song of the Seeonee Pack (we aren’t limiting this humans are we?) Let boys want pleasure, and men Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame, And the servile to serve a Leader and the dupes to be duped. Yours is not theirs.

Caroline(?), Take a look at Gary Snyder. He is of the same era as the beats, keouac et al.. I have heard him a time or two and he is a very good speaker. However I got a volume of his poetry for my wife and it had several hunting poems in it. Also I was once was a guest on at hunting lodge in Baravaria Germany and the library there had several collections of poetry on hunting. Unfortunately I cannot remember any titles or authors as it was 30 years or so ago. They were all in German but the appearance of foreign poetry just might help with your grade. I will ask my wife as she is a poet, editor and poetry critic when I get home tonight for any ideas that she may have.

Hello, I’ve been lurking in this NG for a few monthes now, very interesting. I have a problem, for a school project we have to make an anthology of poetry with a commen theme. I choose the theme "hunting", but I can’t find very many poems about this, most are from an animal rights point of view. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.
