Described by Thom Gunn as `an ideal edition', this first volume of William Carlos Williams' Collected Poems is a vivid account of his formation as a poet, his time in Europe, and his interactions with the major players of Modernism (he never quite appreciated that he was one of them). The poems are printed in the order of original publication, starting with The Tempers (1913) and ending with Poems 1936-1939. Williams remains one of the most popular American poets of all time, Whitman's heir but with a voice wholly unlike Whitman's: provincial, particular, never quite settled. His material is the stuff of daily life, though he takes big risks of theme: `the urgent insurgent now' that he lives and celebrates becomes history; it can generate energy even from the past. Features Summary The first of the monumental, definitive two-volume edition of Williams's Collected Poems for the twenty-first century reader.

In assembling the work of forty years, his Collected Poems displays a brilliantly sustained achievement whose depth, beauty and wit can now be fully appreciated. Longley's poetry combines intense concentration with remarkable variety. The formal and thematic range laid down in No Continuing City (1969) has undergone a series of rich metamorphoses up to Snow Water (2004), and the two poems included here as an epilogue. Longley's genres span love poetry, war poetry, nature poetry, elegies, satires, verse epistles, poems that reflect on art and the art of poetry. He has extended the capacity of the lyric to absorb dark matter: the Great War, the Holocaust, the Northern Irish 'Troubles'. His poetic landscape intermingles Belfast (where he lives), western Ireland, Italy, Japan and Homeric Greece. Longley's superb translations from classical poets (such as 'Ceasefire', which greets the IRA ceasefire in terms of the Iliad) speak to contemporary issues while activating the deepest sources of European poetry.

Gathering thirty years and seven books, this volume compiles Dove's reflections on adolescence in The Yellow House on the Corner and her irreverent musings in Museum. She sets the moving love story of Thomas and Beulah against the backdrop of war, industrialisation and the civil right struggles. The multifaceted gems of Grace Notes, the reinvention of Greek myth in the sonnets of Mother Love, the troubling rapids of recent history in On the Bus with Rosa Parks and the homage to America's kaleidoscopic cultural heritage in American Smooth all celebrate Dove's mastery of narrative context with lyrical finesse. Features Summary Three decades of powerful lyric poetry from a virtuoso of the English language in one unabridged volume.

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.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days From the shtetl to the New World, from failed revolutions in tsarist Russia to the Holocaust, these Yiddish tales illuminate a lost world from a woman's distinctive perspective. For decades, stories by Yiddish women writers were available only to those who spoke the "mother tongue" of Eastern European Jews. This translation brings some of the "lost" women writers of the golden age of Yiddish to English-speaking readers. Their stories range from the wryly humorous-a girl seeking a wet nurse for her cousin brings him to a shiksa, with dire consequences-to the bittersweet, as a once-idealistic revolutionary now sees her hopes for humanity as "fantasy." The title is from a poem that describes a widow arguing with a storm that threatens her harvest. It is a metaphor for the Holocaust, whose dark cloud was rising. Arguing with the Storm is a joy to read and a tribute to all those women, who, in arguing with the storm, fought to protect their families and way of life. The anthology includes works by Sarah Hamer-Jacklyn, Bryna Bercovitch, Anne Viderman, Malka Lee, Frume Halpern, Rochel Bruches, Paula Frankel-Zaltzman, Chava Rosenfarb, and Rikuda Potash. Rhea Tregebov teaches creative writing at the University of British Columbia and is the author of six critically acclaimed books of poetry, most recently (alive): Poems New and Selected. She collected these tales with the help of the Winnipeg Women's Yiddish Reading Circle. Features Summary From the shtetl to the Holocaust, lost voices from a rich and lively tradition.
