Already singled out by The New York Times and the subject of a feature in The New Yorker, Virginia Adair has, after decades of shunning book publication, decided to collect eighty of her best poems in a volume that will surely be hailed as among the most accomplished works of our time.Ants on the Melon includes poems that concern the author's childhood, that explore sensuality in candid terms, that starkly treat her husband's suicide and her own blindness, and that explore both her own emotional landscape and the universal mysteries of the human condition. Technically brilliant, using strict, classical prosody, yet entirely modern in sensibility, Virginia Adair's poetry will play a central role in the ongoing American poetry renaissance.From the Hardcover edition. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/9780307554390/ADAIR,-VIRGINIA-Ants-on-the-Melon-(Mobipocket).html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/9780307554390/ADAIR,-VIRGINIA-Ants-on-the-Melon-(Mobipocket).html Sonnevi, Gran Mozart's Third Brain (Adobe Reader) eBook Sonnevi, Gran Mozart's Third Brain (Adobe Reader)

Anthony Esolen is a professor of English at Providence College. He is a published poet who has written numerous scholarly articles on Renaissance and medieval literature. He is the author of Peppers, a book of poetry, and his translations include Lucretius’s De rerum natura and Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata, along with Dante’s Inferno, published by the Modern Library.

Dante Alighieri, the Italian poet whose masterpiece The Divine Comedy has exerted a profound influence on Western thought, was born in Florence in May 1265. He entered public life in 1295, later becoming one of the six governing magistrates of Florence. He repeatedly opposed the machinations of Pope Boniface VIII, who was attempting to place all of Tuscany under Papal control, and in 1301 was banished from Florence on trumped-up charges. Dante would never enter his native city again, spending his remaining years with a series of patrons in various courts in Italy. He completed The Divine Comedy shortly before his death in September 1321.

Alice Notley vividly reconstructs the mysteries, longings, and emotions of her past in this brilliant new collection of poems that charts her growth from young girl to young woman to accomplished artist. In this volume, memories of her childhood in the California desert spring to life through evocative renderings of the American landscape, circa 1950. Likewise, her coming of age as a poet in the turbulent sixties is evoked through the era's angry, creative energy. As she looks backward with the perspective that time and age allows, Notley ably captures the immediacy of youth's passion while offering her own dry-eyed interpretations of the events of a life lived close to the bone. Like the colorful collages she assembles from paper and other found materials, Notley erects structures of image and feeling to house the memories that swirl around her in the present. In their feverish, intelligent renderings of moments both precise and ephemeral, Notley's poems manage to mirror and transcend the times they evoke. Her profound tributes to the stages of her life and to the identities she has assumed-child, youth, lover, poet, wife, mother, friend, and widow-are remarkable for their insight and wisdom, and for the courage of their unblinking gaze. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780140588965/Notley,-Alice-Mysteries-of-Small-Houses-.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780140588965/Notley,-Alice-Mysteries-of-Small-Houses-.html Newton, Stuart LONDINIUM POETA VERSES FROM TH (Adobe Reader) eBook Newton, Stuart LONDINIUM POETA VERSES FROM TH (Adobe Reader)

INTRODUCTIONS

On the Canon of American Poetry

There ain't no canon. There ain't going to be any canon. There never has been a canon. That's the canon.

This formulation (which I make bold to take from Gertrude Stein's famous comment on her philosophy, "There ain't any answer, etc.") is literally true. It is now more than two hundred years since the appearance of the first anthology of American verse: Elihu H. Smith's American Poems of 1793. Of the fifteen poets and sixty-five poems in that volume, only two poets (Joel Barlow and Philip Freneau) and only one poem (Freneau's "Hurricane") have survived to stand in the present anthology. Of the fifty-five poets represented in the 1840 Gems of American Poetry, only one is represented here, and that one is Clement Moore, the author of "A Visit from St. Nicholas."

By 1900 there was so much American poetry to choose from that extreme anthological principles were invoked. E. C. Stedman's American Anthology of 1900 included works by 537 poets, while C. H. Page's The Chief American Poets (1905) whittled that number down to nine. If Stedman seems unfocused, Page seems rash. Page included Bryant, Poe, Emerson, Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Whitman, and Lanier. No Bradstreet, no Taylor, no Dickinson, no Melville, no Robinson. In the cases of Taylor and Dickinson, we are simply lucky that the twentieth century discovered and printed poetry that was unknown in its own day. In the cases of Bradstreet, Melville, and Robinson, one can only say that taste changes. It is difficult to find a single American poet, currently considered important, who has not, at some time, for some reason, been left out. The anthology called Parnassus (1874), edited by Ralph Waldo Emerson and his daughter Edith, inexplicably contains no poetry by Whitman. Oscar Williams's and Edwin Honig's Major American Poets (1962) contains no T. S. Eliot because Eliot's publisher's policy at the time was "not to allow Mr. Eliot's poetry to appear in paperback books selling for less than $1.75."

More discoveries will be made and taste will change. An anthology of American poetry a hundred years from now will be as different from this one as this one is from either Stedman's or Page's. This volume is not intended to set a seal upon the past. It is meant, rather, as an invitation to the reader of today and to those poets whose names we do not yet know. "In our ordinary states of mind," Emerson once observed, "we deem not only letters in general but the most famous books part of a pre-established harmony, fatal, unalterable. . . . But Man is critic of all these also and should treat the entire extant product of the human intellect as only one age, revisable, corrigible, reversible by him."

The canon is dead. Long live the canon.

OF THOSE "WHO LIVE AND SPEAK FOR AYE"

Wallace Stevens urges: "Speak it." But speech has many variants: murmur, chant, song, bluster, malediction, hymn, psalm--modes that conjure not a chorus but a fraternity-sorority of soloists. The patient work of many blessèd editors has in our present century amplified the speech of earlier centuries, giving Bradstreet, Taylor, Dickinson, ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780553375183/--Three-Centuries-of-American-Poetry-.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780553375183/--Three-Centuries-of-American-Poetry-.html Blaser, Robin The Holy Forest: Collected Poems of Robin Blaser (Adobe Reader) eBook Blaser, Robin The Holy Forest: Collected Poems of Robin Blaser (Adobe Reader)
Robin Blaser, one of the key North American poets of the postwar period, emerged from the "Berkeley Renaissance" of the 1940s and 1950s as a central figure in that burgeoning literary scene. The Holy Forest, now spanning five decades, is Blaser's highly acclaimed lifelong serial poem. This long-awaited revised and expanded edition includes numerous published volumes of verse, the ongoing "Image-Nation" and "Truth Is Laughter" series, and new work from 1994 to 2004. Blaser's passion for world making draws inspiration from the major poets and philosophers of our time-from friends and peers such as Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Charles Olson, Charles Bernstein, and Steve McCaffery to virtual companions in thought such as Hannah Arendt, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida, among others. This comprehensive compilation of Blaser's prophetic meditations on the histories, theories, emotions, experiments, and countermemories of the late twentieth century will stand as the definitive collection of his unique and luminous poetic oeuvre. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520932250/Blaser,-Robin-The-Holy-Forest:-Collected-Poems-of-Robin-Blaser-(Adobe-Reader).html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520932250/Blaser,-Robin-The-Holy-Forest:-Collected-Poems-of-Robin-Blaser-(Adobe-Reader).html Vallejo, Cesar The Complete Poetry: A Bilingual Edition (Adobe Reader) eBook Vallejo, Cesar The Complete Poetry: A Bilingual Edition (Adobe Reader)
This first translation of the complete poetry of Peruvian César Vallejo (1892-1938) makes available to English speakers one of the greatest achievements of twentieth-century world poetry. Handsomely presented in facing-page Spanish and English, this volume, translated by National Book Award winner Clayton Eshleman, includes the groundbreaking collections The Black Heralds (1918), Trilce (1922), Human Poems (1939), and Spain, Take This Cup from Me (1939). Vallejo's poetry takes the Spanish language to an unprecedented level of emotional rawness and stretches its grammatical possibilities. Striking against theology with the very rhetoric of the Christian faith, Vallejo's is a tragic vision-perhaps the only one in the canon of Spanish-language literature-in which salvation and sin are one and the same. This edition includes notes on the translation and a fascinating translation memoir that traces Eshleman's long relationship with Vallejo's poetry. An introduction and chronology provide further insights into Vallejo's life and work. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520932145/Vallejo,-Cesar-The-Complete-Poetry:-A-Bilingual-Edition-(Adobe-Reader).html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520932145/Vallejo,-Cesar-The-Complete-Poetry:-A-Bilingual-Edition-(Adobe-Reader).html Poems for the Millennium, Volume Three: The University of California Book of Romantic & Postromantic Poetry (Adobe Reader) eBook Poems for the Millennium, Volume Three: The University of California Book of Romantic & Postromantic Poetry (Adobe Reader)
The previous two volumes of this acclaimed anthology set forth a globally decentered revision of twentieth-century poetry from the perspective of its many avant-gardes. Now editors Jerome Rothenberg and Jeffrey C. Robinson bring a radically new interpretation to the poetry of the preceding century, viewing the work of the romantic and post-romantic poets as an international, collective, often utopian enterprise that became the foundation of experimental modernism. Global in its range, volume three gathers selections from the poetry and manifestos of canonical poets, as well as the work of lesser-known but equally radical poets. Defining romanticism as experimental and visionary, Rothenberg and Robinson feature prose poetry, verbal-visual experiments, and sound poetry, along with more familiar forms seen here as if for the first time. The anthology also explores romanticism outside the European orbit and includes ethnopoetic and archaeological works outside the literary mainstream. The range of volume three and its skewing of the traditional canon illuminate the process by which romantics and post- romantics challenged nineteenth-century orthodoxies and propelled poetry to the experiments of a later modernism and avant-gardism. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520942205/--Poems-for-the-Millennium,-Volume-Three:-The-University-of-California-Book-of-Romantic-&-Postromantic-Poetry-(Adobe-Reader).html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520942205/--Poems-for-the-Millennium,-Volume-Three:-The-University-of-California-Book-of-Romantic-&-Postromantic-Poetry-(Adobe-Reader).html Berrigan, Ted The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan (Adobe Reader) eBook Berrigan, Ted The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan (Adobe Reader)

This landmark book, together with its accompanying CD, captures the heady excitement of the vibrant, irreverent poetry scene of New York's Lower East Side in the 1960s. Drawing from personal interviews with many of the participants, from unpublished letters, and from rare sound recordings, Daniel Kane brings together for the first time the people, political events, and poetic roots that coalesced into a highly influential community. From the poetry-reading venues of the early sixties, such as those at the Les Deux Mégots and Le Metro coffeehouses to The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church, a vital forum for poets to this day, Kane traces the history of this literary renaissance, showing how it was born from a culture of publicly performed poetry. The Lower East Side in the sixties proved foundational in American verse culture, a defining era for the artistic and political avant-garde. The voices and works of John Ashbery, Amiri Baraka, Charles Bernstein, Bill Berkson, Ted Berrigan, Kenneth Koch, Bernadette Mayer, Ron Padgett, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Frank O'Hara, and many others enliven these pages, and the thirty five-track CD includes recordings of several of the poets reading from their work in the sixties and seventies. The Lower East Side's cafes, coffeehouses, and salons brought together poets of various aesthetic sensibilities, including writers associated with the so-called New York School, Beats, Black Mountain, Deep Image, San Francisco Renaissance, Umbra, and others. Kane shows that the significance for literary history of this loosely defined community of poets and artists lies in part in its reclaiming an orally centered poetic tradition, adapted specifically to open up the possibilities for an aesthetically daring, playful poetics and a politics of joy and resistance. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520936434/Kane,-Daniel-All-Poets-Welcome:-The-Lower-East-Side-Poetry-Scene-in-the-1960s-(Adobe-Reader).html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0520936434/Kane,-Daniel-All-Poets-Welcome:-The-Lower-East-Side-Poetry-Scene-in-the-1960s-(Adobe-Reader).html ANGELOU, MAYA Amazing Peace (Mobipocket) eBook ANGELOU, MAYA Amazing Peace (Mobipocket)

This offering of verse and artwork is meant to lighten the heart and inspire the soul to take its body and go outside to play in a gentle and joyful manner. I hope it suggests a corrective for what passes for civilization in this day and age. Its meant to show people that, if theyll just take the time to look around, smell, touch, and listen, they can garner a spiritual boost from their own neighborhoods as well as public, but maybe not entirely famous, places that are nearby and are not expensive to visit.

About the Author

Mary G. Craig was a resident of Southern California for over fifty years. During that time, she came to love its natural community and its seasons, which support and ornament its extensive urban setting. She is an amateur birder, an earth worshiper, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother who is concerned about the future of that area and indeed the entire planet and the quality of life that we are bequeathing to future generations. She is now retired and lives with her husband in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she is learning about the natural community there.

From the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Ruth Lilly Prize Carl Dennis has become one of the most important American poets writing today. Unknown Friends, his tenth book, is about separation and connection, about actual friends we can never know fully and friends never met who are summoned into existence through the efforts of an imagination that insists on dialogue. While accepting our ignorance as inevitable, the poems work to expand the notion of what it means to be part of a community larger than any we can comprehend, both a community given to us by history and one outside of history through which the world of experience is nurtured and sustained. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780143038757/Dennis,-Carl-Unknown-Friends-.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780143038757/Dennis,-Carl-Unknown-Friends-.html Mabogunje, Toki, Mabogunje, 'Damola BUILT ON THE ROCK SPECIAL/E (Adobe Reader) eBook Mabogunje, Toki, Mabogunje, 'Damola BUILT ON THE ROCK SPECIAL/E (Adobe Reader)

The theme of imitation-a facet of humanity which affects all actions and speech-forms the central focus of this imaginative collection of poems. The degree to which imitation is never just a simple act of copying but rather a source of play and performance is explored, as is imitation's ability to serve as a source of power for any subculture.

Like Divakaruni's much-loved and bestselling short story collection Arranged Marriage, this collection of poetry deals with India and the Indian experience in America, from the adventures of going to a convent school in India run by Irish nuns (Growing up in Darjeeling) to the history of the earliest Indian immigrants in the U.S. (Yuba City Poems).

Groups of interlinked poems divided into six sections are peopled by many of the same characters and explore varying themes. Here, Divakaruni is particularly interested in how different art forms can influence and inspire each other. One section, entitled Indian Miniatures, is based on and named after a series of paintings by Francesco Clemente. Another, called Moving Pictures, is based on Indian films, including Mira Nair's "Salaam Bombay" and Satyajit Ray's "Ghare Baire." Photographs by Raghubir Singh inspired the section entitled Rajasthani. The trials and tribulations of growing up and immigration are also considered here and, as with all of Divakaruni's writing, these poems deal with the experience of women and their struggle to find identities for themselves.

This collection is touched with the same magic and universal appeal that excited readers of Arranged Marriage. In Leaving Yuba City, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni proves once again her remarkable literary talents. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/9780307476760/Divakaruni,-Chitra-Banerjee-Leaving-Yuba-City:-Poems-(Mobipocket).html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 49:11:30 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/9780307476760/Divakaruni,-Chitra-Banerjee-Leaving-Yuba-City:-Poems-(Mobipocket).html Deming, Alison Rope eBook Deming, Alison Rope
