Arguably the leading poet of his generation, Robert Lowell was a poet whose work was always rhetorically gifted, original and open to change. Increasingly, it is clear that Lowell, troubled himself, was the poet who spoke for his troubled nation - fusing public and private. In an unofficial sense, Lowell was the American Laureate. This selection, chosen by the poet himself, is the ideal introduction to a vast body of important work.

Vanishing Lung Syndrome confirms Holub’s special status as one of Europe’s leading poets and as a rare mediator between scientific and literary modes of discourse.  This book is darkly witty and mordantly accurate; it documents, among other things, the ignorance, folly and brutality abroad in our world.  But it also brims with tenderness, humor, and occasional gleams of hope.

Ranging from Vegas and Mayfair to the Asian steppes and contemporary Berlin, these poems touch down at will in tableaux where Liberace unceremoniously meets with St Kevin and Attila with Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Lights Out in Wonderland

"Lights Out in Wonderland has all the verbal wit and energy of Vernon God Little."―Financial Times Gabriel Brockwell―aesthete, philosopher, disaffected twenty-something decadent―is thinking terminal. He's decided to kill himself―but not immediately. His destination is Wonderland. The style of the journey is all that's to be decided. Traveling between London, Tokyo, and Berlin, Gabriel is in search of the bacchanal to obliterate all previous parties. His adventure takes in a spell in rehab, a near-death experience eating a poisonous Japanese delicacy, and finally an orgiastic feast in the bowels of Berlin's majestic Tempelhof Airport. Along the way, Gabriel falls apart, only to reemerge with a new outlook on the world and a mission to right his past wrongs.Lights Out in Wonderland is an allegorical banquet, a sly commentary on these End Times and the march toward banality, and a joyful expression of the human spirit.
