Book Description
Here, for the first time, is a complete collection of Langston Hughes's poetry - 860 poems that sound the heartbeat of black life in America during five turbulent decades, from the 1920s through the 1960s.
Author: Wisława Szymborska Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ISBN: 9780156002165 Category : Poetry Languages : en Pages : 228
Book Description
From one of Europe's most prominent and celebrated poets, a collection remarkable for its graceful lyricism. With acute irony tempered by a generous curiosity, Szymborska documents life's improbability as well as its transient beauty to capture the wonder of existence. Preface by Mark Strand. Translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh, winners of the PEN Translation Prize.
Author: Gary Soto Publisher: Chronicle Books ISBN: 9780811807586 Category : Poetry Languages : en Pages : 196
Book Description
Soto writes with a pure sweetness free of sentimentality that is almost extraordinary in modern American poetry. -- Andrew Hudgins. Soto insists on the possibility of a redemptive power, and he celebrates the heroic, quixotic capacity for survival in human beings and the natural world. -- Publishers Weekly. Soto has it all -- the learned craft, the intrinsic abilities with language, a fascinating autobiography, and the storyteller's ability to manipulate memories into folklore. -- Library Journal.

Ferlinghetti has been telling the truth in poems for more than four decades, and every indication is that he will continue to be heard when all the pretenders have turned to witless stone. Certainly the more than 50 pages of new work included here with his own selections of earlier work continue to maintain the faith. Published by New Directions, 80 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10011.

Author: Thomas Lux Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ISBN: 9780395924884 Category : Poetry Languages : en Pages : 196
Book Description
One of the New York Public Library's 25 "Books to Remember" in 1997 Lux comments on the absurd, the pathetic, and the commonplace in our culture, writing with compassion as well as satire. He is "singular among his peers in his ability to convey with a deceptive lightness the paradoxes of human emotion," says Publishers Weekly, and Robert Hass, in the Washington Post Book World, takes special note of Lux's "bitter wit, the kind of irony that comes with a quick, impatient intelligence."
Author: Gabriela Mistral Publisher: ISBN: Category : Chilean poetry Languages : en Pages : 128
Book Description
"Gabriela Mistral writes from an intense simplicity of expression, image, and emotion and Langston Hughes profoundly understands that. Her poems really shine through in these translations. He pays much attention to the music and energy of her lines. This is something like a selection curated on a theme: over half of them deal with pregnancy, motherhood, and children; many are lullabies" --from Goodreads.com.
