|  | Questions about Angels by Billy Collins
Originally published in 1991 as part of the National Poetry Series (selected by Edward Hirsch), this book of poems shows Collins thinking about the writers and artists who have shaped him, the people he's loved, and even the dead, who are always looking down on us...through the glass-bottom boats of heaven.

 | Insatiable Addicts Of Print by Harold Rabinowitz, Ray Bradbury, Rob Kaplan
Some of the bibliomaniacs whose essays or stories are collected in this anthology are great writers whose books are themselves the subjects of some collectors' uncontrollable ardor--Norman Mailer, Philip Roth, Gustave Flaubert, and Anatole France are all represented here. Other contributors--Anna Quindlen, Nicholas Basbanes, Robert Benchley--are simply mad about books and confess their addictions and detail their passions in their essays.

 | Complete Letters of Oscar Wild by Merlin Holland, Rupert Hart-Davis
Wilde's earliest scenario of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST--very little of which eventually made it to the stage--is described in one of the gems of his correspondence, which is collected here in full for the first time. In this volume of his complete letters, the range of Wilde's imagination and intelligence can be felt, even as the letters grow more distressing as they progress. Also included are letters written to him by his wife, which offer a rare occasion to see how family interacts with a mind as cunning as Wilde's, and a life as tragic. AUTHOR: Merlin Holland, Rupert Hart-Davis
