|  | Poetry of Our World by Ed J. Paine
This anthology samples late-20th-century poetry from the world over, presenting examples from the English-speaking world beside translations of European, Asian, South American, and African poetry. Though many readers will recognize the examples of work by Pablo Neruda, Anna Akhmatova, Paul Celan, Seamus Heaney, and Elizabeth Bishop, a sampling of less familiar poets--such as work by the Ugandan poet Okot p'Bitek, Indian poet A.K. Ramanujan, and Japanese poet Shuntaro Tanikawa--enriches the volume. Essays by prominent voices of the field provide a context for the work presented, including remarks by Helen Vendler, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Sven Birkerts, Carolyn Forche, and Bei Dao. AUTHOR: Ed J. Paine

 | Reversing the Spell by Eleanor Wilner
For thirty years, the late Thomas McGrath labored over his narrative epic poem, Letter to an Imaginary Friend, first publishing Part One in 1963, and finishing with Part Four in 1985. All previous editions of the individual parts contained errors which the poet intended to correct in a definitive edition. Now, working from McGrath`s archival notes, his longtime friend and colleague Dale Jacobson has prepared an authoritative text of the whole poem, making available for the first time in a single volume the greatest epic of our time. Both modern and Homeric, McGrath`s expansive, inclusive, semi-autobiographical Letter explores American history, politics, and mythology, guided by the Blue Star Kachina of Hopi mythology as it moves toward the poem`s conclusion in the American heartland on Christmas Eve, crisscrossing the landscape in what Library Journal has called a tremendous odyssey of sense and spirit .
