Book Description
Some of the free verse offered here was first published in Poems of a Cockroach (1970): this was a self-published pamphlet illustrated with drawings by Gerry Haggerty. EVERYMAN was made into a film with a rather dubious sound-track bringing the thing down. This book is a gathering of work of the last thirty years, and it is a selection, exactly. That might be its strong point. These poems are what I think of as my best stuff, and are offered as that.

Book Description
The book makes use of the developed possibilities of modern American writing, enriched by centuries of European example and newly opened out to include free verse and the prose poem as well as accentual-syllabic verse. The author takes the position that all three forms are viable, as practised by the great experimenters of this century. The book celebrates the fact that American poetry includes E.A.Robinson as well as William Carlos Williams; neither invalidates the other; they add up; one can have free verse as well as accentual-syllabic verse; and there is a place for the prose poem. The idea is that American poetry offers a democratic welcome to a large variety of possibilities, following the example given by the national life, which has thrived on a principle of inclusion.

Book Description
The novel gives a search by an English prof. (Jim Truebig) through the past histories of two friends who do not know each other. He suspects similar past histories, and comes to believe that they did indeed share in some terrible experiences. They suffered--and he comes to a realization of that. Both were incest-victims: he must learn to think about that. The novel is a story of how he goes about doing this: Stella May Jones and Osvaldo Burroughs come through vividly in the process--first-rate people hobbled by early-life trauma. This is an anti-incest book.

Book Description
The book gathers the work of two eminent writers with a view to making a window on Spain and Latin America as they were at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. These were two very different writers; but they knew and admired each other's writing. The Nicaraguan was a little older (born in 1967, while A.M. was born in 1875), and since he got an early start as a writer, his work was available to Machado. They belong together partly because they are so very different--together they give an idea of what was happening in the literary and intellectual worlds of Spain and Latin America. Included here are "Colloquy of the Centaurs" and "Epistle", two long poems by Daro; and "The Land of Alvargonzalez", by Machado, perhaps his best known work, and his longest in the poetic form. The translations are from Spanish into English free verse, which is rather nicely adapted to this purpose, being noticeably not prose, yet not heavily burdened with prosodic enterprises. The attempt is to offer some good things by these authors, thus encouraging readers to take up the originals, which are very nice, very nice.

Book Description
In 1882, Emily Dickinson's brother Austin began a passionate love affair with Mabel Todd, a young Amherst faculty wife, setting in motion a series of events that would forever change the lives of the Dickinson family. The feud that erupted as a result has continued for over a century. Lyndall Gordon, an award-winning biographer, tells the riveting story of the Dickinsons, and reveals Emily as a very different woman from the pale, lovelorn recluse that exists in the popular imagination. Thanks to unprecedented use of letters, diaries, and legal documents, Gordon digs deep into the life and work of Emily Dickinson, to reveal the secret behind the poet's insistent seclusion, and presents a woman beyond her time who found love, spiritual sustenance, and immortality all on her own terms. An enthralling story of creative genius, filled with illicit passion and betrayal, Lives Like Loaded Guns is sure to cause a stir among Dickinson's many devoted readers and scholars.

Book Description
A Bibliography of Welsh Literature in English Translation is a groundbreaking volume that maps for the first time the translation history of Wales's two languages. This is also the first listing of Welsh-English literary translations and should be an indispensable tool not only for scholars but also for lay readers and for students of Celtic and Welsh literatures. As a resource that opens up for the first time one of the richest fields of translation in the British context, this bibliography is also a pioneering Welsh contribution to the burgeoning academic field of translation studies. The Centre for Research into the English Literature and Language of Wales (CREW), directed by Professor M. Wynn Thomas, received a prestitgious research grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Board for a one-year project in 2001 that was to culminate in a web-based database, an international conference and this published volume. S. Rhian Reynolds was employed as the postdoctoral research officer for the project, which grew far beyond the expected lifespan due to the wealth and quantity of the material uncovered. Translation practice has encompased the whole wealth of Welsh-language literature and among the thousands of translations recorded here are the acknowledged classics of European culture---The Mabinogion, the work of Dafydd ap Gwilym, the hymns of William Williams Pantycelyn and the plays, fiction, and political writings of Saunders Lewis. Ever since Welsh-English translation was first instigated in the eighteenth century it has provided an invaluable interface between Wales and the wider world (even non-anglophone cultures usually discover Welsh-language literature through the medium of English), between Wales and the other countries of the British Isles and (most importantly of all, perhaps) between the two cultures of Wales itself.
