Selected Poems by Robert Lowell
Lowell's poems represent three phases of his creative life: his early, tightly formal poems dealing with religious and classical subjects; the looser, more personal style of the poems in LIFE STUDIES; and, toward the end of his life, more densely textured, concise, and elegiac poems such as those in his Pulitzer Prize-winning volume, THE DOLPHIN.

The World According to Garp by John Irving
Something of a modern classic, this is the story of T. S. Garp, who is raised by his eccentric feminist mother and spends most of his life surrounded and preoccupied by woman. Irving depicts Garp's pursuit of a writing career against the backdrop of the odd assortment of characters in his life--wrestlers, radical feminists, transsexuals, and rape protesters. Part fictional biography, part examination of the writing life, and part meditation on modern American society gone amok.
