The Faerie Queen

Edmund Spenser

The Faerie Queen

Considered to be one of the most difficult poems in the history of the English language, «The Faerie Queen» by Edmund Spenser is a marvelous epic poem depicting the virtues of the legendary King Arthur and his knights in a mythical place called Faerieland. Spenser based his interpretation of the virtues on those named by Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas. Each one of the seven books discusses a different hero who displays one of these virtues; however, this entire collection was meant to be a tribute...

The Tatters

Brenda Coultas

The Tatters

In this nuanced and moving new collection of poems, Brenda Coultas weaves a meditation on contemporary life and our place in it. Coultas, who is known for her investigative documentary approach, turns her attention to landfills and the odd histories embedded in the materials found there. The poems make their home among urban and rural detritus, waste, trinkets, and found objects. The title poem, for example, takes its cue from the random, often perfect, pigeon feathers found on...

Dante's Inferno: The Divine Comedy, Book One

In his introduction, the translator says: «I suppose that a very great majority of English-speaking people, if they were asked to name the greatest epic poet of the Christian era in Western Europe, would answer Dante.» THE DIVINE COMEDY continues to be widely read today, whether for its religious inspiration or for the sheer power of its verse. The first part of the epic, THE INFERNO, tells how the narrator «loses his way,» and finds himself in a strange landscape he's never seen before....

Villa Negativa

Sharon McCartney

Villa Negativa

With less content in my life I am infinitely more content Against the backdrop of a sibling’s death, an eating disorder, and a few very dismal dating relationships, Villa Negativa looks for laughter behind darkness: the intruder who politely removes her shoes, the fabricator whose closest relationship is with fibreglass, the anorexic who sends the Diet Coke back because it tastes too good. Meditative and mischievous, confessional and philosophical, sincere and sly by turns, Sharon...

The Book of Landings

Mark McMorris

The Book of Landings

The Book of Landings brings together the second and third parts of Mark McMorris's visionary trilogy «Auditions for Utopia,»—initiated in Entrep&#244;t—and marks two stages in the evolution of the poet's conception of space. The first stage of the collection is the entrep&#244;t, a space where disparate vectors of identity congregate, come into conflict, and finally merge into hybrid forms. The poetry follows a trajectory of diaspora, or exile,...

Endarkenment

Arkadii Dragomoshchenko

Endarkenment

The poet Arkadii Dragomoshchenko made his debut in underground magazines in the late Soviet period, and developed an elliptic, figural style with affinities to Moscow metarealism, although he lived in what was then Leningrad. Endarkenment brings together revisions of selected translations by Lyn Hejinian and Elena Balashova from his previous American titles, long out of print, with translations of new work carried out by Genya Turovskaya, Bela Shayevich, Jacob Edmond, and Eugene...

The Songs of Bilitis

Pierre Louys

The Songs of Bilitis

These passionate verses were published in Paris in 1894 as the lost works of a disciple of Sappho. Between their open celebration of lesbian love and the eventual revelation of their true authorship—the verses actually were written by French novelist and poet Pierre Louÿs—they became a succès de scandale. Although debunked as a work of antiquity, The Songs of Bilitis remains a classic of erotic literature.More than 160 sensual illustrations by the famed...

Leaves of Grass: The Death Bed Edition

In response to Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for the United States to have its own unique poet, Walt Whitman rose to the challenge to create what would ultimately be his most profound work. Taking its title from the colloquial term «grass», meaning a work of minor value, Whitman's «Leaves of Grass» is anything but that. Over his lifetime Whitman would continue to expand and revise his most famous book up until his death in 1892. Here in this volume we have reproduced the last edition,...

Itself

Rae Armantrout

Itself

What do «self» and «it» have in common? In Rae Armantrout's new poems, there is no inert substance. Self and it (word and particle) are ritual and rigmarole, song-and-dance and long distance call into whatever dark matter might exist. How could a self not be selfish? Armantrout accesses the strangeness of everyday occurrence with wit, sensuality, and an eye alert to underlying trauma, as in the poem «Price Points» where a man conducts an imaginary orchestra but «gets no...

Flashbacks From a Roller Coaster Ride

Flashbacks from a Roller Coaster Ride is about how we learn and change as we progress through life's experiences. We sometimes feel we have little control over our destinies, and chaos takes over. It is important to pick up the pieces and carry on with the best intent we can muster. Sometimes we must look at ourselves from a great height, remaining as detached as we are able. This eventually enables us to reassemble and build, again becoming useful to others having a...

The Branch Will Not Break

The Branch Will Not Break

These new poems by the author of Saint Judas and The Green Wall embody a sharp break with his earlier work. Their impact is well described by the British critic Michael Hamburger: «He has absorbed the work of modern Spanish and other continental poets and evolved a medium of his own. This medium dispenses with argument and rhetoric, and presents the pure substance of poetry, images which are &#8216;the objective correlatives' of emotion and feeling. It is only in...
