Book Description
Nominated twice for the Nobel Prize, Irving Layton is Canada's most dynamic, controversial, and outspoken poet. His prolific verse reveals his Judaic heritage, his love of women, and his fury and fever for life. This volume of 150 poems, which takes its title from the opening poem, is a new selection from Layton's work between 1928 and 1990, chosen to give a complete picture of the poet his vision, tone, celebration, attack, defence, disharmony, and "the external dualisms of imaginative desire and bitter reality." These are the poems for which Layton will be remembered.

How To Read A Poem
Author: Edward HirschPublisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0547543727
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
A masterful work by a master poet, this brilliant summation of poetry and human nature will speak to all readers who long to place poetry in their lives. How to Read a Poem is an unprecedented exploration of poetry and feeling. In language at once acute and emotional, National Book Critics Circle award-winning distinguished poet and critic Edward Hirsch describes why poetry matters and how we can open up our imaginations so that its message can make a difference. In a marvelous reading of verse from around the world, including work by Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath, among many others, Hirsch discovers the true meaning of their words and ideas and brings their sublime message home into our hearts. "The answer Hirsch gives to the question of how to read as poem is: Ecstatically."—Boston Book Review
More Anon
Author: Maureen N. McLanePublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374601992
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Selected poems of Maureen N. McLane More Anon gathers a selection of poems from Maureen N. McLane’s critically acclaimed first five books of poetry. McLane, whose 2014 collection This Blue was a finalist for the National Book Award, is a poet of wit and play, of romanticism and intellect, of song and polemic. More Anon presents her work anew. The poems spark with life, and the concentrated selection showcases her energy and style. As Parul Seghal wrote in Bookforum, “To read McLane is to be reminded that the brain may be an organ, but the mind is a muscle. Hers is a roving, amphibious intelligence; she’s at home in the essay and the fragment, the polemic and the elegy.” In More Anon, McLane—a poet, scholar, and prizewinning critic—displays the full range of her vertiginous mind and daring experimentation.
