Hardback. Condition: Good. A landmark definitive edition of one of our most innovative and beloved poetsThe landmark oeuvre of Marianne Moore, one of the major inventors of poetic modernism, has had no straight path from beginning to end; until now, there has been no good vantage point from which to see the body of her remarkable work as a whole. Throughout her life Moore arranged and rearranged, visited and revisited, a large majority of her existing poetry, always adding new work interspersed among revised poems. This makes sorting out the complex textual history that she left behind a pressing task if we mean to represent her work as a poet in a way that gives us a complete picture. New Collected Poems offers an answer to the question of how to represent the work of a poet so skillful and singular, giving a portrait of the range of her voice and of the modernist culture she helped create.William Carlos Williams, remarking on the impeccable precision of Moore's poems, praised the aesthetic pleasure engendered when pure craftsmanship joins hard surfaces skillfully. It is only in New Collected Poems that we can understand her later achievements, see how she refashioned her earlier work, and get a more complete understanding of her consummate craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail. Presented and collected by Heather Cass White, the foremost scholar of Moore's work, this new collection at last allows readers to experience the untamed force of these dazzling poems as the author first envisioned them.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket as Issued. A VERY GOOD, bright, clean, tight copy. PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full-color photography (many full page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "Due to the past and current sociopolitical pressures and the apparently irresistible effects of modernization, Tibet's traditional culture is on the edge of extinction. The current generation of Tibetan elders is the last to have any personal knowledge of Tibet's integral culture. Responding to this situation, photographer Brian Harris has combined images of Himalayan Buddhist culture with memoir-style accounts of Tibetan elders in India, Canada, and the United States. 'Tibetan Voices: A Traditional Memoir' is a portrait of these last years, or rather a sketch, since the memoirs and photographs are but glimpses of what as once a varied and complex society." 138 pages. "Together, the photographs and recollections portray a wide range of human experience, from the edifying and mysterious to an earthy honesty and naturalnesss characteristic of the Tibetan people. Harris's intimate photographs come from the culturally contiguous regions of Tibet, Ladakh, Lahual, and Sikkim and from various Tibetan refugee settlements in India." GA4. Brian Harris (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: New. Heather Cass White's Books Promiscuously Read is about the pleasures of reading and its power in shaping our internal lives. It advocates for a life of constant, disorderly, time-consuming reading, and encourages readers to trust in the value of the exhilaration and fascination such reading entails. Rather than arguing for the moral value of reading or the preeminence of literature as an aesthetic form, Books Promiscuously Read illustrates the irreplaceable experience of the self that reading provides for those inclined to do it.Through three sections - Play, Transgression, and Insight - which focus on three ways of thinking about reading, Books Promiscuously Read moves among and considers many poems, novels, stories, and works of nonfiction. The prose is shot through with quotations reflecting the way readers think through the words of others.Books Promiscuously Read is a tribute to the whole lives readers live in their books, and aims to recommit people to those lives. As White writes, "What matters is staying attuned to an ordinary, unflashy, mutely persistent miracle; that all the books to be read, and all the selves to be because we have read them, are still there, still waiting, still undiminished in their power. It is an astonishing joy.".…
