Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Reyes, Jesse Marinoff (jacket design); Hobbing, Diane (book design) (illustrator). 1st Edition. As new condition maroon boards/brown spine/gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Illustrations; Introduction by Byron Hollinshead; Acknowledgments; Illustration Credits; and A Note About the Editor. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "Twenty distinguished American historians vividly re-imagine twenty events of great drama and significance in our country's past. "What is the scene or incident in American history that you would like to have witnessed - and why?" This is the thought-provoking question that editor Byron Holingshead posed to twenty of our finest interpreters of American history with the invitation to write a personal essay answering it. The result is I Wish I'd Been There, a book that trains a lens on crucial moments of our past and brings them to vivid life. With these peerless scholars as their guides, readers will be transported to the Salem witch trials, the Lewis and Clark expedition, the raid on Harpers Ferry, the assissination of Abraham Lincoln, the Scopes "monkey trial," the beginnings of the Vietnam War, the voting rights march to Selma, and other turning points of our national drama. Contributors include Mary Beth Norton, Joseph Ellis, Jay Winik, Carol Berkin, Kevin Baker, Robert Cowley, Carolyn Gilman, Geoffrey Ward, Robert Dallek, and William Leuchtenburg, among other luminaries of the historical profession. I Wish I'd Been There is a marvelous concept, wonderfully and imaginatively executed. The result is an American pageant of character and event that will attract and delight readers of history." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Condition: VERY GOOD. First printing. A thematic anthology which group poems by common subjects, poems "that interpret food and drink in a myriad of imaginative ways. From Pablo Nerudas condimental odes ('Ode to Salt' and 'Ode to an Onion') to Langston Hughes 'I, Too, Sing America,' sustenance and libations play shifting and diverse roles throughout. It's fascinating to read Natasha Trethewey ('Invocation, 1926') and Charles Simic ('Watermelons'), Gary Soto ('The Plums Heart'), Martn Espada ('Coca-Cola and Coco Fro'), and works by poets of the past and to see how the poems diverge and converge."(Diego Baez). SIGNED by Joy Harjo at the first poem in the book 'Perhaps the World Ends Here.' Among other poets whose work is included are Elizabeth Alexander, Wendell Berry, Elizabeth Bishop, Billy Collins, Mark Doty, Robert Frost, Allen Ginsberg, Louise Gluck, Seamus Heaney, Li-Young Lee, Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds, Mary Oliver, Adrienne Rich, Theodore Roethke, Tracy K. Smith, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens and more. Edited and with an introduction by poet Kevin Young. Index. 319 pp. Very good in near fine dust jacket. (name on front endpaper, upper corner of several leaves slightly bumped).

Condition: Fine. POETRY. Ever since its first flowering in the 1920s, jazz has had a powerful influence on American poetry, and this anthology offers a treasury of poems as varied and vital as the music that inspired them. From the Harlem Renaissance to the Beat Movement, from the poets of the New York School to the contemporary poetry scene, the jazz aesthetic has been a compelling literary force. We hear it the poems of Langston Hughes, e.e. cummings, William Carlos Williams, Frank O'Hara and Gwendolyn Brooks, and in those of Yusef Komunyaka, Charles Simic, Rita Dove, Ntozake Shange, Mark Doty and C.D. Wright. Here are poems that pay tribute to jazz's great voices, and also poems that themselves throb with the vivid rhythm and energy of the jazz tradition, ranging in tone from mournful elegy to sheer celebration. /// This is a 1st edition hardback with its dustjacket in fine condition. (256 pages).
