Praise Song for the Day
A Poem for Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration
Elizabeth Alexander
Graywolf Press Paper
"Elizabeth Alexander is a superb choice for the Obama Inauguration. She is from Washington, she represents Obama's generation, and she has written about the civil rights conflict and other historical events that have shaped the character of this country . . . At the same time, her intense personal vision reveals the commonplace life illuminated from startling new angles—as good poetry always does."

Star Dust
Poems
Frank Bidart
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
"Just as art has impelled the poet through the remaking of his self, so Bidart has remade the tradition of poetry in English.
Star Dust
is not merely 'about' the desire to create: It exists as a superb embodiment of that urge . . . No living poet writes with Bidart's fusion of emotional ferocity and formal exactitude, of grand ambition and creaturely attentiveness. This is his strongest book."—

Watching the Spring Festival
Poems
Frank Bidart
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
“Full of rage even when most melancholy or sweet, [Bidart’s] voice leaps off the page toward his subjects, and toward the reader . . . Grand poetic ambition, at its best, can make us feel that that which challenges the glory-seeking poet also challenges the ordinary life. In lucid moments of this wonderful book, Bidart accomplishes this feat.”

Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box
Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments
Elizabeth Bishop; Edited and Annotated by Alice Quinn
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
"You are living in a world created by Elizabeth Bishop . . . she left behind a body of work that teaches us, as Italo Calvino once said of literature generally, 'a method subtle and flexible enough to be the same thing as an absence of any method whatever.' The publication of
Edgar Allan Poe & the Juke-Box
, which gathers for the first time Bishop's unpublished material, isn't just a significant event in our poetry; it's part of a continuing alteration in the scale of American life . . . Quinn's notes throughout are superb . . . This is the devoted editing this material needed and deserved."—

Words in Air
The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell
Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell; Edited by Thomas Travisano with Saskia Hamilton
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
"Their surviving 459 letters, some surprisingly long (Bishop might elaborate hers over weeks, at times swearing she had written Lowell in her imagination), give us the closest view of these wounded creatures—his muscular, bull-in-a-china-shop intellect; her pained shyness and abject modesty, and a gaze like the gleam off a knife . . . The pleasures of this remarkable correspondence lie in the untiring way these poets entertained each other with the comic inadequacies of the world."—
