 | Selected Poems by T. S. Eliot
As a poet, Eliot was constantly in search of new forms, and he found his voice in a combination of precise imagery, ironic wit, and the juxtaposition of disparate elements presented without explanation of their relationship to each other. His poetry is also significant for the way in which it refers to past works of literature, history, and philosophy, many of them obscure, as a way of enriching not only its own meaning but the function of language itself. Eliot was also interested in preserving the vast cultural heritage from the past that underlies every work of art. Oddly enough, however, despite Eliot's famous obscurity and the vast trove of scholarship on which he unhesitatingly drew, his poetry is powerful enough in its rhythm and in its imagery to make itself clear and meaningful to the general reader.

 | Sonnets Cd by Anthony Hecht, Berl Lapin, Ferris Cook, Frank Muller, G. Blakemore Evans
Probably, more nonsense has been talked and written, more intellectual and emotional energy expended in vain, on the sonnets of Shakespeare than on any other literary work in the world. It so happens that we know almost nothing about the historical circumstances under which Shakespeare wrote these sonnets: we don't know to whom they are addressed or exactly when they were written, and, unless entirely new evidence should turn up, which is unlikely, we never shall.

 | The Dying Animal by Arliss Howard, Philip Roth
Philip Roth's perennial character (and alter ego) David Kepesh is the narrator of THE DYING ANIMAL, which finds an aging Kepesh still obsessed with sex, still longing for young women to keep death at bay. He thinks compulsively, in erotic detail, of an affair with a Cuban student named Consuela--and, at the end of the book, after Kepesh has had to confront the death of a close friend and the estrangement of his son, Consuela reappears in his life. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001. AUTHOR: Arliss Howard, Philip Roth
