"For writers looking for a systematic approach to their craft, this guide provides exercises and practical information, building up to a complete method but also allowing real individual literary merit. Poetry Writing starts with questions about what poetry is, what it means to the poet, and why people write it. It goes on to consider rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, and explore different poetry forms. This book is also thoroughly practical; there are exercises at the end of every chapter, it contemplates the "idea reader," and finishes with advice on getting poetry published. " -Amazon
"The Art of the Sonnet collects one hundred exemplary sonnets of the English language (and a few sonnets in translation), representing highlights in the history of the sonnet, accompanied by short commentaries on each of the poems. The commentaries by Stephanie Burt and David Mikics offer new perspectives and insights, and, taken together, demonstrate the enduring as well as changing nature of the sonnet. The authors serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets."
"This new anthology provides a definitive record of the achievements of the Great War poets and offers a fresh assessment of the work on the centenary of the Great War's outbreak. Focusing on the poets themselves, the book is organized by writer, not theme or chronology. It offers generous selections from the celebrated soldier-poets, including Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, and Rupert Brooke, whilst also incorporating less well-known writing by civilian and women poets. It also includes two previously unpublished poems by Ivor Gurney." - Amazon
"With passion and wit, Mary Oliver skillfully imparts expertise from her long, celebrated career as a poet. She walks readers through exactly how a poem is built, from meter and rhyme, to form and diction, to sound and sense, drawing on poems by Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, and others. This handbook is an invaluable glimpse into Oliver’s prolific mind—a must-have for all poetry-lovers." - Amazon
"This bilingual edition (Spanish/English) contains all the odes written by Pablo Neruda, the Chilean poet-diplomat who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1941. Neruda was in his late forties when he committed himself to writing an ode a week and, in the end, wrote 225. Many of these are poems to everyday things like bird migration, clouds, and conger chowder, a favorite soup. Some reflect upon the places he traveled. And others are to experiences like love, finding clarity, and aging. All are about connection from a man who lived in turbulent times."
"While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood's fiction--including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others--she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. In Dearly, Margaret Atwood's first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic."
"In the compassionate, playful, fable-like poems of The Animals of My Earth School, Mildred Kiconco Barya awakens us to the vividly singing, fully alive, non-human communities surrounding us. These poems demonstrate poetry's unique ability to prick us from our self-involved numbness and awaken us to wonder. There is great solace, tenderness, and innocence here-the kind of innocence capable of apprehending the creatures of the world-and thus the world itself-afresh. Like a literary Noah's ark of song, The Animals of My Earth School provides a place where all may dance and thrive. These poems provide pleasure and a glimmer of hope." -Michael Hettich, The Mica Mine
“Hoa Nguyen’s collection is a poetic meditation on historical, personal, and cultural pressures pre- and post-“Fall-of-Saigon” and comprises a verse biography on her mother, Diep Anh Nguyen, a stunt motorcyclist in an all-woman Vietnamese circus troupe. Multilayered, plaintive, and provocative, the poems in A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure are alive with archive and inhabit histories. In turns lyrical and unsettling, her poetry sings of language and loss; dialogues with time, myth and place; and communes with past and future ghosts.”
“An all-new illustrated poetry collection from the bestselling author of yesterday i was the moon, New Names for Lost Things combines Noor Unnahar’s powerful poetic voice and her signature collage-style visual art for a book of highly personal reflections on loss, inheritance, and what is left behind on the nonlinear path to becoming who you are meant to be.”
"A ... memoir from the first Latino and openly gay inaugural poet, which explores his coming-of-age as the child of Cuban immigrants and his attempts to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning artistic and sexual identities"--Amazon.com."
"In this very short book, based on his 2002 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities at the Library of Congress, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., explores the pivotal roles that Wheatley and Jefferson have played in shaping the black literary tradition. He brings to life the characters and debates that fermented around Wheatley in her day and illustrates the peculiar history that resulted in Thomas Jefferson's being lauded as a father of the black freedom struggle and Phillis Wheatley's vilification as something of an Uncle Tom."
Octavio Paz was a Mexican poet and diplomat who won the 1990 Nobel Prize in Literature. This bilingual edition (Spanish/English) is the first retrospective collection of Paz’s poetry to span his entire career. It contains many poems that have not been translated into English before. A small biography is also included.
“From the early 1900’s to the 1960’s, Tin Pan Alley songwriters like Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and Dorothy Fields, captured the hearts of people around the world. This book explores the importance of poetic lyrics in these songwriters' successes. Author Furia makes the case these lyrics are a crucial element of American modernism."

“The American Poet Laureate contributes to a growing body of institutional and sociological approaches to U.S. literary production in the postwar era and demonstrates how poetry has played a uniquely important, and largely underacknowledged, role in the cultural front of the Cold War.” Author Paeth discusses how national poets were participants in a national project to expand U.S. power through cultural programming during the cold war. Some of the poets embraced this role, while others questioned it.”
“Kevin Young, the Andrew W. Mellon Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, has compiled the most expansive anthology of African American poetry to date. This contains popular and little-known works. Also included are short biographies of each poet featured in the collection.”
"Most have heard of Sappho―the first woman writer in literary history―but few have read her work. This book provides translations and interpretations of all her surviving poems and fragments including those discovered in 2014. It also discusses the daily lives of women in ancient Greece, both in their families and in their communities."
