Book Description
Ernest Christopher Dowson (2 August 1867 - 23 February 1900) was an English poet, novelist, and short-story writer, often associated with the Decadent movement. The poems collected here contain many poems full of fi-de-siecle world-weariness and melancholic pessimism. Dowson's work clearly shows the influence of the poetry of the French poets - Verlaine, Rimbaud and Baudelaire."

Book Description
A beautiful collection of verse––both light and dark, elegiac and affirmative––from one of our most admired poets. The title Nothing by Design is taken from Salter’s villanelle “Complaint for Absolute Divorce,” in which we’re asked to entertain the thought of a no-fault universe. The wary search for peace, personal and public, is a constant theme in poems as varied as “Our Friends the Enemy,” about the Christmas football match between German and British soldiers in 1914; “The Afterlife,” in which Egyptian tomb figurines labor to serve the dead; and “Voice of America,” where Salter returns to the Saint Petersburg of her exiled friend, the late Joseph Brodsky. A section of charming light verse serves as counterpoint to another series entitled “Bed of Letters,” in which Salter addresses the end of a long marriage. Artfully designed, with a highly intentional music, these poems movingly give form to the often unfathomable, yet very real, presence of nothingness and loss in our lives.
