Description:
London:: Harvill,, 1996.. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. The U.S. Edition was published two years after this UK edition. This rich collection suggests that Raymond Carver was not only America�s finest writer of short fiction, but also one of its most large-hearted and affecting poets. Like Carver�s stories, the more than 300 poems in All of Us are marked by a keen attention to the physical world; an uncanny ability to compress vast feeling into discreet moments; a voice of conversational intimacy, and an unstinting sympathy. This complete edition brings together all the poems of Carver�s five previous books, from Fires to the posthumously published No Heroics, Please.

New York:: Norton,, 1993.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. From their first publication, when Rich was twenty-one, in the prestigious Yale Younger Poets series, the successive volumes of her poetry have both charted the growth of her own mind and vision and mirrored our tempestuous, unsettled age. Her unmistakable voice, speaking even from the earliest poems with rare assurance and precision, wrestles with urgent questions while never failing to explore new poetic territory.

Description:
London:: Harvill/Collins,, 1985.. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. This edition is the only hardcover edition of this title. Raymond Carver's "Fires" is a quick introduction to the author who personifies literary minimalism. In this slim volume, the reader is treated to essays and poems, as well as Carver's trademark: taut short stories that, in remarkably few words, paint a vivid tableau of so much of American life. Carver's subjects are ones that other writers shy away from: working-class stiffs and the mundane lives they lead. But Carver's magic lies in his ability to fascinate the reader with seemingly unfascinating topics. The characters' souls are bared, the torment of their lives is revealed, the desperation of their economic situations is rendered so masterfully, and in so little space, that the reader marvels at how Carver manages to accomplish the feat. For students of the writer's trade, Carver offers a valuable lesson in how to use minimal… Read More

Description:
Brooklyn:: Hanging Loose Press,, 1993.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy without dust jacket as issued. This is one of only 500 Hardcover copies issued. Working from a carefully developed understanding of his place in an oppressed culture, he focuses on the need to tear down obstacles before nature tears them down. Fire is therefore a central metaphor: a sister and brother-in-law killed, a burnt hand, cars aflame. Tongue in cheek, Alexie inserts images from popular songs and movies, and catalogues aspects of traditional reservation life that have been sacrificed in America's melting pot. Alexie renews the nearly forgotten sense of language equaling power. And the language in these sequential works is flawless, each section picking up from and expanding upon the previous one, poetry and prose working naturally together.

Alice Walker has always turned to poetry to express some of her most personal and deeply felt concerns. She has said that her poems-even the happy ones-emerge from an accumulation of sadness, when she stands again �in the sunlight.� �[This collection] has two fine strengths-a music that comes along sometimes, as sad and cheery as a lonely woman�s whistling-and Miss Walker�s own tragicomic gifts�

Description:
St. Paul :: Graywolf Press,, 1992.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. This copy is signed by Gallagher. Moon Crossing Bridge is Tess Gallagher's sixth book, and her descent into the world of the dead, a remembrance of her deceased beloved (Ray Carver), whose presence and absence are recalled in sombre lyrical rhythms and with a extraordinary range of expressions of love and sadness. Devoid of self-pity or illusion, yet full of dream and vision and wisdom, these beautifully intense and powerful poems bestow the gift of words to the widow's silence, to the silence of all who are muted by grief and loss. With this unusual volume, arranged in six carefully paced movements to suggest the journey from death to recovery, Gallagher charges language with its utmost responsibilities: here poetry aspires deeply and urgently beyond its cultural marginality to embrace the paradox of sharing unshareable pain and to assume again an Orphic voice and a communal necessity.

Description:
New York::: Atlantic Monthly,,, 1989... First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight unread copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. A New Path to the Waterfall was Carver's last book, and shows a writer telling the truth as best as he knows how in the time left to him. The sixty-odd poems in this collection are linked by Carver with selections from other writers, most notably Chekhov, whose work was an inspiration and a guide, and by the cumulative force of the life and death questions he poses in them. A New Path to the Waterfall is a testament to the transcendent strength of the human spirit.

There were only 2000 copies of this hardcover edition issued. This is one of Patchen's earliest experiments with the prose poem and coincides with an increased interest in formal experiments of concrete and semiconcrete poetry. A number of these poems are clearly in keeping with the tradition of "proletarian realism".

Description:
Pittsburgh :: Slow Loris Press,, 1978.. First Printing of the First US Trade Edition. A Fine bright copy in cream colored paper wraps. This is one of 1000 copies issued. There was no hardcover edition of this title. Richard Hugo is noted for the tight, rhythmic control of his language and lines and for the sharp sense of place evoked in his poems. Hugo's images are urgent and compelling; he imbues the many minute or seemingly irrelevant details found in his poems with a subtle significance, thereby creating a tension between the particular and the universal. This tension is considered central to Hugo's most powerful poems. In his poems Hugo reflected as much upon the internal region of the individual as on the external region of the natural world, and he considered these two deeply interconnected.

Richard Shelton is a fine expressive poet who adeptly squeezes the metaphysical and philosophical out of the most everyday events and the natural world.

In the decades since he recorded his first album, Leonard Cohen has evolved into an international cult figure--and one of the most literate, daring, and affecting poet-songwriters in the world. Stranger Music presents a magnificent cross-section of Cohen's work--including the legendary songs "Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "Bird on a Wire," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "I'm Your Man," and "The Future"; selections from such books as Flowers for Hitler, Beautiful Losers, and Death of a Lady's Man, and eleven previously unpublished poems. This volume demonstrates definitively that Cohen is a writer of dazzling intelligence and a force that transcends genres.
