The Complete Henry Bech
AuthorJohn Updike
ISBN1857152646
From his birth in 1923 to his belated paternity and public apotheosis as a spry septuagenarian in 1999, Bech plugs away, globetrotting in the company of foreign dignitaries one day and schlepping in tattered tweeds on the college lecture circuit the next. By turns cynical and naïve, wry and avuncular,...

More than thirty years after her death, Marianne Moore continues to be one of America's most beloved poets. However, her Collected Poems (1951) omits twenty years of later beauties.

Keats: Poems
AuthorJohn Keats
ISBN0679433198
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever
As a dedicated book reviewer, it is my job to say why I like certain books and dislike others. When it comes to nonfiction, this is reasonably straightforward: if the exposition is clear, if the arguments are logical, if the ideas are reasonable—then it is a worthy...

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) was the dominant force in twentieth-century British and American poetry. With poems such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, " he introduced an edgy, disenchanted, utterly contemporary version of French Symbolism to the English-speaking world. With his masterpiece...

Eugene Onegin and Other Poems
AuthorAlexander Pushkin
ISBN0375406727
Eugene Onegin (1833) is a comedy of manners, written in exquisitely crafted verse, about two young members of the Russian gentry, the eponymous hero and the girl Tatyana, who don't quite connect. It is also the greatest masterpiece of Russian literature—the source of the human archetypes and the...
Poe: Poems
AuthorEdgar Allan Poe
ISBN0679445056
Poe wrote few poems, few of which are any good. His technical expertise is excellent but nearly all of his poems lack substance; they are like brass clockworks, shiny, complex, dazzling to look at, difficult to craft, but ultimately lifeless. I suspect Poe knew this too and that he was simply attempting...
Rilke: Poems

I fell in love with Rilke's poetry from quotes I found here and there. Now, after reading this collection, I fell in love with him fully and completely.
