Without End: New and Selected Poems
AuthorAdam Zagajewski
ISBN0374528616
I love to swim in the sea, which keeps
talking to itself
in the monotone of a vagabond
who no longer recalls
exactly how long he's been on the road.
Swimming is like prayer:
palms join and part,
join and part,
almost without end.
--from "On Swimming"

Without...

Selected Poems
AuthorFrancis Ponge
ISBN0916390586
POETRY OF FRANCIS PONGE

I consider it as one of my miraculous reading encounters to have discovered this great poetry book of Francis Ponge. I first read about it in Italo Calvino's book, "Why read Classics?"

Ponge possesses a unique way of seeing. For him, seeing comes before words....

Making Certain It Goes On: The Collected Poems of Richard Hugo
AuthorRichard Hugo
ISBN0393307840
I think of this collection as an unintentional autobiography. If you read the poems from start to finish in the order presented, you follow Richard Hugo's progression from loneliness to love and friendship, addiction through recovery, and depression to hope. Most appealing of all are his poems revealing...

Selected Poems
AuthorMark Strand
ISBN0679733019
I have never been the one to rate the books objectively. I don't understand how objectivity works when it comes to rating poems.

So, the other day I got this book from a Used Book Store ( for 2 dollars . I dug Strand out from a pile of other books which he was buried under ).
Found a couple of my favorite...

The World of the Ten Thousand Things: Poems 1980-1990
AuthorCharles Wright
ISBN0374523266
The heart of this volume is made up of long journal-like dated entries in free verse. Deliciously absorbing and meditative, they concern themselves with landscapes and the natural world, with ideas, memory, and autobiography. I think of poetry as a kind of wisdom. I get the idea Wright dedicates his...
The Collected Poems, Vol. 2: 1939-1962
AuthorWilliam Carlos Williams
ISBN0811211886
You really need to read the Collected to understand Williams. The various Selecteds out there really don't do this remarkable poet justice (though the review I read of Pinsky's new edited volume of Williams was positive--haven't checked that out yet). Williams was not just an Imagist poet, writing...
In the Western Night: Collected Poems, 1965-1990
AuthorFrank Bidart
ISBN0374522715
I fear too many poets these days are considered "good" merely because they're different, their aesthetic hard, their poetry disarming. Bidart is all of these things, but deserving of our highest praises because his poetry transcends gimmicks to become a new verse, one that is beautiful and painful....
This Great Unknowing: Last Poems
AuthorDenise Levertov
ISBN0811214583
A CRYPTIC SIGN

August. The woods are silent.
No sway of treetops, no skitter of squirrels,
no startled bird. Sky fragments
in rifts of canopy,
palest silken blue.

AWARE

When I opened the door
I found the vine leaves
speaking among
themselves...
