|  | Poems of Herman Melville by Douglas Robillard, Herman Melville
After the failure of MOBY-DICK, Melville concentrated on writing poetry rather than prose. Working within traditional verse forms, he expresses himself with vivid intensity, often compressing a great deal within an economical few words, and, like Whitman's, his vision is broad. This edition contains the poems in his three published books as well as parts of his four-volume narrative poem, Clarel. AUTHOR: Douglas Robillard, Herman Melville

 | The Brave Cowboy by Edward Abbey, Paul Shay
Abbey's nostalgic early (1956) novel is about a rebellious throwback to the cowboy heroes of another age. The anarchistic Jack Burns, who gets himself arrested so he can help his draft-dodging pal break out of jail, is a symbol of the simpler, unregulated life of personal freedom that the Old West represents for Abbey. The novel was made into a highly successful movie, LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, starring Kirk Douglas. AUTHOR: Edward Abbey, Paul Shay
