Better known as the Hoosier Poet for his work with regional dialects, and also as the Children's Poet Riley was born into an influential and well off family. However his education was spotty but he was surrounded by creativity which was to stand him in good stead later in life. His early career was a series of low paid temporary jobs. After stints as a journalist and billboard proprietor he had the resources to dedicate more of his efforts to writing. Riley was prone to drink which was to affect his health and later his career but after a slow start and a lot of submissions he began to gain traction first in newspapers and then with the publication of his dialect poems 'Boone County Poems' he came to national recognition. This propelled him to long term contracts to perform on speaking circuits. These were very successful but over the years his star waned. In 1888 he was too drunk to perform and the ensuing publicity made everything seem very bleak for a while. However he overcame that and managed to re-negotiate his contracts so that he received his rightful share of the income and his wealth thereafter increased very quickly. A bachelor, Riley seems to have his writings as his only outlet, and although in his public performances he was well received, his publications were becoming seen as banal and repetitive and sales of these later works began to fall away. Eventually after his last tour in 1895 he retired to spend his final years in Indianapolis writing patriotic poetry. Now in poor health, weakened by years of heavy drinking, Riley, the Hoosier Poet died on July 23, 1916 of a stroke. In a final, unusual tribute, Riley lay in state for a day in the Indiana Statehouse, where thousands came to pay their respects. Not since Lincoln had a public personage received such a send-off. He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49686767075601,"sku":"DVDB0034G4OT0VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49707002429713,"sku":"DVDB0034G4OT0LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53418284744977,"sku":"CINB09NR5R81ZVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53419989139729,"sku":"CINB0034G4OT0G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0034G4OT0.jpg?v=1751287934"},{"product_id":"ncis-los-angeles-the-second-season-dvd-0097361098746","title":"Ncis: Los Angeles - The Second Season","description":"If water breathes follows a spiritual seeker through and across Buddhist, Hindu, Greco-Roman, Muslim, Judaic, astrophysical, and Christian cosmologies. In these poems, each moment is ripe with the future it heralds, and the poet lives as witness to the movement of time through love, loss, and longing. Desire remembers, constellates today, and foreshadows tomorrow, while both nature and the word gesture toward a salutary beyond. One. Two. Breathe. All the words matter in Monika Lee's marvelous If water breathes. Marvel at her marvels: Clockless air. Souwesto's sky being scanned. Jaipur becomes a bicycle. Bagpipes outstripping barbequing. Breathe in. Read her poems out loud and hear your voice in hers. Find your way to the angel words at the end. Breathe out and work your way back to the blackbird-poet at the start. Two. One. Breathe. --James Stewart Reaney, author, London, Canada If water breathes is a delight for the senses. Lyrical, rhythmic, often subtly rhymed, Monika Lee's poems ripple in the ear, refreshing amid the aural flatness of a lot of contemporary free verse. Her images are vividly spare, 'like a flurry of light' letting the space between the words blossom with meaning, proof that indeed less can mean more. These are poems well worth reading and rereading for the pleasures of each moment. --Susan Ioannou, poet What I like best about these poems is their music, sometimes ornate, sometimes delicate, sometimes simple, yet always luminous with internal rhyme. . . . They have the individual quality of a series of music box tunes that delight in their variety and in their exquisite display. The imagery at times like a shaken snow globe, or at times like a landscape viewed through a kaleidoscope, the resulting reader experience being an agitated renewal of the familiar or an exotic view of something new. John B. Lee, poet laureate Monika Hope Lee is an English professor at Brescia University College in London, Ontario. She is the author of Gravity Loves the Body: Poems by Monika Lee (2008); Skin to Skin (with Shelly Harder, 2016); Slender Threads (2004); a play called The Petting Zoo; the libretto of an opera called The Maker; Shelley's Impact on Rousseau: Figuring the Written Self (1999); and dozens of peer-reviewed essays on British Romanticism. Her poems have appeared in journals and anthologies worldwide.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49701071061265,"sku":"DVDB003L77G1KVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53416449442065,"sku":"CINB003L77G1KG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B003L77G1K.jpg?v=1751386661"},{"product_id":"ncis-los-angeles-the-eighth-season-dvd-0032429277831","title":"NCIS: Los Angeles: The Eighth Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52153399968017,"sku":"DVDB071G57MRGVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53426023825681,"sku":"CINB071G57MRGG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0032429277831.jpg?v=1757620029"},{"product_id":"bachelor-dvd-0794043499425","title":"Bachelor","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53372086321425,"sku":"CIN0780630122VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0794043499425.jpg?v=1775170467"},{"product_id":"scent-of-a-woman-dvd-0025192026027","title":"Scent of a Woman","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53372102246673,"sku":"CIN0783226845VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53372288925969,"sku":"CIN0783226845G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0025192026027.jpg?v=1775170612"},{"product_id":"ncis-los-angeles-the-tenth-season-cd-0032429326744","title":"NCIS: Los Angeles - The Tenth Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53414179340561,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53414179799313,"sku":"CINB07SWQ1ZBCG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0032429326744.jpg?v=1776355300"},{"product_id":"men-don-t-leave-dvd-0883316204566","title":"Men Don't Leave","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53419552964881,"sku":"CINB003156IJSG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0883316204566.jpg?v=1776369447"},{"product_id":"ncis-los-angeles-first-season-dvd-0097360942446","title":"Ncis Los Angeles: First Season","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423133851921,"sku":"CINB003V4JU08G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097360942446.jpg?v=1776382639"},{"product_id":"a-little-help-dvd-0014381747553","title":"A Little Help","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423886893329,"sku":"CINB005EIHMUEG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/014381747553.jpg?v=1776385436"},{"product_id":"ncis-los-angeles-seventh-dvd-0032429247278","title":"NCIS: LOS ANGELES - SEVENTH","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53425607803153,"sku":"CINB01D4SPZOKG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53626309017873,"sku":"CINB01D4SPZOKVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0032429247278.jpg?v=1776391959"},{"product_id":"scent-of-a-woman-dvd-0025192072987","title":"Scent of a Woman","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53448698528017,"sku":"CINB007FO5PYKVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53481678176529,"sku":"CINB007FO5PYKG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0025192072987.jpg?v=1776862887"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-chris-odonnell.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
