New in June: I Am Not Sidney Poitier and The Looking House
|
|||||||
By Venus Khoury-Ghata and Marilyn Hacker "Amazing images, amazing lines; that pity brings, that pain produces. I have huge admiration for these poems—and these translations. Marilyn Hacker is doing a great service making them available to an American readership." —Gerald Stern |
By Stephen Burt “Each of the four sections of this book is punctuated by Burt’s brilliant version of a poem by Callimachus. Burt thereby casts an eerie light on the American life that fills the rest of his book, as the poems move from the endless deferral of adolescence (‘we will know who we are once we have won’) to the plenitude and deprivations that sustain adulthood. This is a masterly book by one of the most gifted poets of his generation.” —Frank Bidart |
By Kim Stafford "A masterful memoir...Early Morning would be a rare and exceptional book in any season, any year. Coming as it does in a time of national crisis, it is needed in the same way victims of scurvy and pellagra need vitamins." —Bloomsbury Review |
By J. Robert Lennon “This strange, visionary novel takes on no less harrowing a subject than the wages of Terror on the ordinary human psyche. Even as your sense of complicity builds, you can’t stop turning the pages.” —KATHRYN DAVIS |
By Dana Gioia "Can Poetry Matter? is an important book, and anyone who professes to care about the state of American poetry will have to take it into account." —World Literature Today |
