Poetry. Prose. DECADENTS, SYMBOLISTS, & AESTHETES IN AMERICA brings together works by various late nineteenth and early twentieth century American and Canadian poets: Conrad Aiken, Walter Conrad Arensberg, Ambrose Bierce, Gelett Burgess, Bliss Carman, Madison Cawein, Stephen Crane, Gertrude Hall, Richard Hovey, James Huneker, Ludwig Lewisohn, Stuart Merrill, Edgar Saltus, and Vance Thompson to give a fuller sense of literary life and values in fin-de-siecle America. American literature and life could be much more colorful (and European) than history commonly admits.

Poetry. Ronald Johnson's early poems owe much to Charles Olson's notions of projective verse, but he then began to experiment with the poetics of the international concrete poetry movement. Edited by Peter O'Leary, TO DO AS ADAM DID includes works from the full range of Johnson's career, including The Shrubberies, the long poetic sequence he was writing at the time of his death. What did Adam do? He named: naming built the Garden he dwelt in, allowing him to see it through words. Johnson recognizes the brain and the universe as mirror images: astrophysics is horticulture; scientific perception is gardening -- from the introduction by Peter O'Leary.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Edited by Timothy Liu, himself an accomplished poet (VOX ANGELICA, SAY GOODNIGHT), the formidable anthology WORD OF MOUTH covers a vast range of work by twentieth-century gay American poets. Arranged in order of the poets' birthdates, so that the book shades gradually from older luminaries of the poetry scene to bright newcomers, the work here forms a sparkling composite picture of gay poetic sensibility in the U.S. Including Ashbery, Auden, Brainard, Bronk, Duncan, Denby, Doty, Elmslie, Ginsberg, Gunn, Killian, Koestenbaum, Lansing, Mead, Merrill, O'Hara, Phillips, Schuyler, Shurin, Spicer, Wieners, and Williams.

The Anatolikon

This book is two in one: "The Anatolikon", published in Great Britain for the first time, and a collection of new poems entitled "To the City". John Ash remains a savage wit, an elegist, a poet of celebration, and one who refuses to let his work be assimilated into orthodoxy or predictability.

Ash, John

The Niche Narrows: New and Selected Poems

Despite much acclaim, Menashe was considered marginal on the American poetry scene. Prominent poets, critics and editors who have admired Menashe's work include Dana Gioia, Denis Donoghue, Billy Collins, Geordie Greig, and Christopher Ricks. Interest in his work picked up considerably in 2005 when New and Selected Poems was published by the Library of America as part of the American Poets project, after the author received the Library of America as part of the American Poets project, after the author received the Neglected Masters Award from the Poetry Foundation

Menashe, Samuel

Poetry and Poetics in a New Millennium

Twentieth-Century Greek Poetry brings together translations of works by such foremost writers as Constantine P. Cavafy (the greatest of all modernist Greek poets), Surrealist and Nobel Prize winner Odysseus Elytris, Nobel Prize winner George Seferis, Yannis Ritsos, Angelos Sikelianos, and almost a hundred others. There have been other anthology of modern Greek poetry but never an anthology as comprehensive as this. With the aid of some of the best contemporary Greek poets and translators working today, Valaoritis and Maskaleris provide ample proof that Greece has given the world some of the finest poetry of the century. They provide not only generous selections from internationally celebrated poets but also from younger writers who are playing key roles in international literary world today. This is an essential book for anyone concerned with literature in our time.

Poetry. "With his third collection in three years, Bronk is at his philosophical best. Like his previous work, these brief, highly spiritual poems probe the nature (or inanity) of life, and how speech plays a role in shaping what man thinks he is. But, whereas most poets are obsessed with finding the proper names for objects within their range of vision, these poems imply that, since the meanings of words are subject to change over time, any name will do. What matters is action; man alone has the ability not only to move, but to choose his movements, to create. 'To be is the verb to be. The noun pretends.' An English teacher's nightmare, these minimalist poems string together verbs and adverbs, seldom in anything approximating what we usually think of as a sentence. Nouns are often abstract and always general--'truth,' 'sadnesses,' 'poverty,' 'devotion'--yet in the hands of this literary descendant of Louis Zukofsky and the other Objectivist poets, no poem lacks specificity. For the first time in Bronk's work, pronouns include more than the speaker; 'we,' 'us' and 'you' predominate, while the 'I' is 'inanimate, marked for discard.' The fact that Bronk is now 75 years old gives words such as these additional credence"--Publishers Weekly.

Poetry. "Entertaining, moving, Notley's work engages ever-deepening areas of division and isolation while settling for nothing less than a restoration of wholeness"--Joseph Donahue.
