Book excerpt: In 1994 the worst episode of genocide since the Holocaust of the Second World War ravaged the Central African country of Rwanda. Derick Burleson lived there and taught at the National University during the two years leading up to the genocide. The poems in this collection explore the cataclysm in a variety of forms and voices through the culture, myths, and customs he absorbed during this time. Ejo, meaning "yesterday and tomorrow" in Kinyarwandan, celebrates in language both lyrical and austere the lives of the friends Burleson made in Rwanda, those who survived to tell their own stories, and those whose voices were silenced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North in the World presents 121 poems by Rolf Jacobsen (1907-1994), one of Norway's greatest modern poets. Garnering the highest praise of critics, Jacobsen won many of Norway's and Sweden's most prestigious literary awards, including the Swedish Academy's Dobloug Prize and the Grand Nordic Prize, also known as the "Little Nobel." But he also has earned a wide popular audience, because ordinary readers can understand and enjoy the way he explores the complex counterpoint of nature and technology, progress and self-destruction, daily life and cosmic wonder. Drawing from all twelve of his books, and including one poem collected posthumously, North in the World offers award-winning English translations of Jacobsen's poems, accompanied by the original Norwegian texts. The translator, the American poet Roger Greenwald, worked with Jacobsen himself to correct errors that had crept into the Norwegian texts over the years. An in-depth introduction by Greenwald highlights the main features of Jacobsen's poetry, and extensive endnotes, as well as indexes to titles and first lines in both languages, enhance the usefulness of the book for general readers and scholars alike. The result is the definitive bilingual edition of Jacobsen's marvelous poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sanity of Earth and Grass brings together over a hundred poems, thirty-one of them never before published, by a remarkable American poet. A gregarious person who loved and celebrated human bonds, Winner also drew strength from nature, and his poems glow with sensual pleasure and confrontation. As he says in On Lexington Avenue, What I like is smell . . . the enormous kindness of sensation. At the same time, and without self-pity, he probes graphically and at unusual depth the violence, deprivation, and injustice that are part of so many lives.

Book excerpt: A collection of sharp, entertaining, and informative essays by poet Robert Pinsky, Poetry and the World is a passionate inquiry into poetry's place in the modem world. Combining the arts of criticism and autobiography, Pinsky writes about poets as diverse as Walt VVhitman and Philip Freneau, Marianne Moore and Frank O'Hara, about a visit to Poland during the early days of Solidarity, and his own childhood in a seedy New Jersey resort town. The scope and diversity of these essays confirm Pinsky's stature as not only one of our best poets, but as a perceptive and engaging critic as well.

Book excerpt: Edited and Translated from the Greek by Edmund Keeley. A new translation of poetic masterpieces spanning Greece's Archaic and Golden Age to Byzantium. In these beautiful renderings Edmund Keeley displays his sensitivity as a translator and his imagination as a poet. The verses spring to life for a new generation of readers who will delight in the inventiveness, wit, and honesty of essential ancient Greek voices such as Plato, Leonidas, Callimachus, Meleager, Honestus, Strato, and Palladas. One of the foremost translators of the 20th century, Edmund Keeley has received international acclaim for his translations of the Greek poets C.P. Cavafy, George Seferis, Yannis Ritsos, and Odysseas Elytis. "The Ancients did not mince words when it came to love and death. Edmund Keeley's stunning translation brings Ancient Greek pith and urgency into the 21st Century: playful and oracular, Nakedness is My End is an essential study of human life in lyric form."--Karen Emmerich "The Ancients did not mince words when it came to love and death. Edmund Keeley's stunning translation brings Ancient Greek pith and urgency into the 21st Century: playful and oracular, Nakedness is My End is an essential study of human life in lyric form."--Karen Emmerich "In Keeley's lucid translations, we find just what we need: grace, humor, beauty, good advice, and succor; all that poetry has been bringing us through the darkness for these thousands of years. This expertly selected collection will remind you to 'treat yourself entirely to what good things there are.'"--Eleni Sikelianos "A new English translation of ancient masterworks, Nakedness is My End (World Poetry Books) contains poetry from Plato, Strato, Palladas, and others in a way that is accessible and meaningful for the modern reader." -- Princeton Alumni Weekly Poetry.
