These poems--ancient, immediate, serene, disgruntled, wickedly humorous, unsettlingly earnest--are also daring explorations of what love is. In the new millennium, with so much loss to mourn--and so much more still to lose--"Orphan" contemplates how "we make our griefs our tools." What Love Is "To forsake all others. To float the beloved on your back from flood to land, to wrench bread from the beggar's hand, snatch the oxygen mask from a child's face. To ransack hospitals and nursing homes for drugs to ease the beloved's pain, to stumble down 101 floors, beloved slung on your back, not stopping for the other ones in wheelchairs waiting at the landing doors." Jan Heller Levi's first collection of poems, "Once I Gazed at You in Wonder," won the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, and poems from her second collection, "Skyspeak," won The Emily Dickinson Award of the Poetry Society of America. She is editor of "A Muriel Rukeyser Reader," served as consulting editor for the new edition of "The Collected Poems of Muriel Rukeyser," and is currently writing the biography of Rukeyser. She lives in New York City with her husband, the Swiss novelist and playwright Christoph Keller, and teaches at Hunter College.

Or how their melodies were created? All artists reveal themselves through their work and the Rolling Stones are no different: each song exposes a little more of their soul. Rocks Off promises to reveal that soul by deconstructing their best tunes from their incredible fifty years of record making. Written by Stones fanatic, musician, and writer Bill Janovitz, this is a song-by-song chronicle that maps the landmarks of the band's career while expanding upon their recording and personal history through insightful and energetic prose. With its conversational tone - much like friends pouring over old records on a Saturday afternoon - the book presents the musical leaps taken by the band and a discussion of how the lyrical content both reflected and influenced popular culture. The song choices - fifty in all - are chronological and subjective; most of them are the classic hits, however, the book digs deeper into beloved album tracks and songs with unique stories behind them. Looking through the prism of the Stone's music in a fresh way, Rocks Off is the ultimate listening guide and thinking man's companion that will spur readers to dust off those old albums and listen in with a new-found perspective on one of the most famous and acclaimed rock 'n' roll bands of all time.
