hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1995. September 1995. Scribner. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0684801507. 302 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Julie Metz. keywords: American Literature Poetry Anthology. DESCRIPTION - The eighth volume in the popular series widely regarded as America's best poetry anthology, this outstanding series - the only collection which features the 75 best poems of the year - 'has taken its place alongside America's most prestigious annuals' (Cleveland Plain Dealer). This year's edition boasts more newcomers and more women contributors than previous volumes. 'Howard's selection of 75 poems for this annual series edited by David Lehman will delight fans of formal traditions but may disappoint readers looking for poetry of socially conscious engagement, L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E-school experimentation or non-white experience. While the works range widely in subject, in style the influence of New Formalism is pervasive-a cerebral tone and Latinate word choice give many poems a self-conscious, overwritten feel. Painful subjects, such as breast cancer, are often buried in obscure references that distance emotional response; even poems drawing from pop culture demonstrate an insular aspect. Where formal constraint combines with authentic voice, we are rewarded with powerful works: the radical brilliance of Molly Peacock, Grace Schulman's intelligent tenderness and David Wojahn's complex insight. J.D. McClatchy addresses mortality with candor and humor in 'My Mammogram, and Rafael Campo infuses biting political indictment with personal sorrow in 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic. A brief commentary by each of the writers on his/her poem gives a captivating glimpse into the writer's mind and an index lists poems and poets represented in the previous seven volumes of the series.' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. inventory #21548.…

hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1994. September 1996. Scribners. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0684814552. 318 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Julie Metz. keywords: American Literature Poetry Anthology. DESCRIPTION - Now in its ninth year, The Best American Poetry is universally acclaimed as the best anthology in the field. The compilation includes a diverse abundance of poems published in 1995 in more than 40 publications ranging from The New Yorker to The Paris Review to Bamboo Ridge. .'Rich has amassed a far-flung group to represent her view of America. These poets were born in Jamaica, China, Mexico, South Africa, Canada, Hawaii and the mainland. There are professors and prisoners, a medical student and a jazz critic. Rich embraces both the bilingual and the long poem, but what is truly startling is how little these poets say of joy and how much of suffering. It is a heavy read. Alicia Ostriker writes of the Holocaust, Wang Ping of the deaths of Chinese stowaways, Gary Soto of the destitute. There are three poets born after 1975, testing human experience and response: Deborah Stein, Quentin Rowan and Natasha Le Bel ('my born body new and/ gravid with musical sensuality'). And four poets who passed away last year haunt the anthology with meditations on death: William Dickey, Jane Kenyon, James Merrill and Jean Starr ('I have felt each living link begin to wither'). David Lehman is the series editor.' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. inventory #22673.…
