Ardor by Marvin Bell
An acknowledged master of poetic forms and ideas, Bell is a metamorphic poet who writes with authority, wit, and intelligence. Ardor extends and refines the work he began with his groundbreaking The Book of the Dead Man. Like the first volume, Ardor stands on its own as a whole as it reinvigorates the quotidian in poems which are by turns surreal, deadpan, outrageous, incisive, and perceptive.

The Age of Innocence by Cynthia G. Wolff, Edith Wharton, Flo Gibson, Janet B. Goodwyn, Laura Dluzynski
This is Edith Wharton's insider's look, and subtle critique, of New York society at a time when an address above 12th Street was considered the wild frontier. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE plays out the delicacies of a love triangle between May Welland, born and bred to marry Newland Archer, a thoughtful barrister, who in turn loves the infamous, unconventional, and attractive, Countess Ellen Olenska. The brazen Countess has left her Count behind in Europe and has returned to New York for a reprieve from a bad marriage. Not only does Wharton paint a deliciously detailed portrait of old New York and the rules that governed upper-class society, she has also provided readers with an entertainment of high order. With this novel, Edith Wharton became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in 1921.

Lord Jim by Cedric Watts, Cedric P. Watts, Gene Engene, Jacques Berthoud, John Batchelor
Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman--'as unflinching as a hero in a book'--who is disgraced by an act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from 'an Eastern port' with a party of Muslim pilgrims. His life is blighted: an isolated scandal assumes horrifying proportions. An older man, Marlow, befriends Jim, but his efforts to find him employment meet with little success until, at last, he is able to establish him in Patusan, a remote native settlement on one of the islands of the Malay Archipelago.
