|  | Poems of Akhmatova by Anna Andreevena Akhmatova, Max Hayward, Stanley Kunitz
Witness to the international and domestic chaos of the first half of the twentieth century, Anna Akhmatova (1888-1966) chronicled Russia's troubled times in poems of sharp beauty and intensity. Her genius is now universally acknowledged, and recent biographies attest to a remarkable resurgence of interest in her poetry in this country. Here is the essence of Akhmatova - a landmark selection and translation, including excerpts from Poem with a Hero. AUTHOR: Anna Andreevena Akhmatova, Max Hayward, Stanley Kunitz

 | Song of Solomon by Harold Bloom, Reynolds Price, Toni Morrison
In Toni Morrison's powerful 1977 novel, Milkman Dead hears a strange story: his father and his aunt Pilate witnessed their father's murder, and Pilate has carried his bones around with her for 20 years. Milkman travels south to find that this grandfather (who fled slavery and escaped, creating a myth of flight) has been immortalized in folktales and songs. He and Pilate bury his bones at last; Pilate is killed; and Milkman is made free and powerful by his newfound connection to his ancestors. Winner of the 1978 National Book Critics Award.
