The innovative free verse collection of small-town life that made Edgar Lee Masters a legend
A literary sensation when it appeared in 1915, "Spoon River Anthology" earned Edgar Lee Masters comparisons to T. S. Eliot and Walt Whitman. The characters who speak here tarnish the pure image of their Midwestern hamlet by holding forth from the grave with tales of illicit love affairs, betrayed confidences, political corruption, and miserable marriages. The first serious work of psychological naturalism, this artful indictment of small-town hypocrisy influenced Theodore Dreiser, William Faulkner, and other luminaries.

Jailbreaks and Re-Creations: 99 Canadian Sonnets

£10.96 01 Apr 2008 Paperback Biblioasis

In 1910 Lawrence J. Burpee published an anthology of 100 Canadian Sonnets. Poet and critic Zachariah Wells figured it was high time for an update on that dusty tome. In Jailbreaks, Wells has gathered 99 of his favourite sonnets written by Canadians, from the 19th Century to the present day. Jailbreaks does much to question the standard assumption that the best Canadian poetry is written in free verse, while showcasing the enormous versatility of the sonnet and of the poets who use it as a vessel for their thoughts and feelings. Jailbreaks just might change the way we think about Canadian poetry.

By Miller, Wayne Prufer, Kevin

£9.89 01 Apr 2008 Paperback Graywolf Press

In compiling this landmark anthology, Wayne Miller and Kevin Prufer enlisted twenty-four regional editors to select 290 poets, whose writing was first published after 1970. These poets are from every country in Europe, and many of them are published here for the first time in English and in the United States. Poetry translated from more than forty languages is represented, including French, German, Italian and Spanish, and more regional languages such as Basque, Irish Gaelic, and Sami. Nearly 200 translators - among them John Ashbery, Marilyn Hacker, Michael Hamburger, Siri Hustvedt, Paul Muldoon, Charles Simic, and Derek Walcott - have contributed English versions of more than 400 poems gathered here.

The range of styles in New European Poems is exhilarating - from the lyric intimacy of Portuguese poet Rosa Alice Branco to the profane prose poems of Romanian poet Radu Andriescu, from the surrealist bravado of Czech poet Sylva Fischerova to the survivor's cry of Russian poet Irina Ratushinskaya.
