Long-awaited selected poems from a poet who shapes what threatens to misshape him.

This remarkable debut is a cohesive yet wide-ranging suite that displays a finely tuned sense of craft and a mind alert not only to the present but to the possible, to many traditions, and a deeply felt sense of history. Yet, for all Simon's diverse themes and structures, the poet remains rooted in this world-accessible, clear, and vibrant.

New edition of best-selling Asian title presents the poems of a renowned Zen master.

For thirty years, the late Thomas McGrath labored over his narrative epic poem, Letter to an Imaginary Friend, first publishing Part One in 1963, and finishing with Part Four in 1985. All previous editions of the individual parts contained errors which the poet intended to correct in a definitive edition. Now, working from McGrath's archival notes, his longtime friend and colleague Dale Jacobson has prepared an authoritative text of the whole poem, making available for the first time in a single volume the greatest epic of our time. Both modern and Homeric, McGrath's expansive, inclusive, semi-autobiographical Letter explores American history, politics, and mythology, guided by the Blue Star Kachina of Hopi mythology as it moves toward the poem's conclusion in the American heartland on Christmas Eve, crisscrossing the landscape in what Library Journal has called "a tremendous odyssey of sense and spirit".

Open Papers is the primary statement on his art by Odysseas Elytis, winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize in Literature, and a sweeping exploration of the mind and mythic imagination of one of the most original, visionary and compelling poets of this century.
