    book cover

    Susan Stewart
    Red Rover
    "Stewart offers sequences and serial poems that move across historical time, and continually reveal the ominous hiding in the innocuous, or vice versa (“burning bread smells like / baked earth”).… This gathering of poems, with their masterful cadences, allegorically pitched narratives and various speakers “bound / deep to old griefs and wonder,” build toward an indictment of aggression and war."—Publishers Weekly

     

    book cover

    Jalal Al Din Rumi
    Mystical Poems of Rumi
    "An excellent introduction to Rumi, the greatest mystical poet of Islam.… Rumi’s scope, like that of all the great poets, is universal—reaching from sensuous luxuriance to the driest irony."—Sherman Goldman, East-West Journal

    Robert Pack
    Still Here, Still Now
    "I thought of Frost as I read these bracing poems, written in heavily cadenced language, full of concrete images that summon a vision of the natural world.… Wallace Stevens once wrote: 'Description is revelation.' If this is so, then Pack's is a poetry of revelation."—Jay Parini, Middlebury Alumni Magazine

    Guy Goffette
    Charlestown Blues: Selected Poems, a Bilingual Edition
    "Unlike many of his French contemporaries, Goffette's leanings are neither conceptual nor abstract; rather, translator Hacker describes him as 'unabashedly lyrical.' Delectable, fresh, and centered on expressions of earthly desire, longing, and despair, Goffette's poems point to a love 'laced with lust.'… Hacker's superb translation will undoubtedly build a broad new following of readers."—Library Journal

    Andrea Zanzotto
    The Selected Poetry and Prose of Andrea Zanzotto: A Bilingual Edition
    "Andrea Zanzotto is one of the world's great nature poets, and this beautiful collection makes his poetry and prose amply available to English-speaking audiences for the first time. His work reveals the inextricable attachments between human experience and the physical world, attachments charged with extraordinary emotion."—Scott Slovic, editor of ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment

     

    book cover

    Vittorio Sereni
    The Selected Poetry and Prose of Vittorio Sereni: A Bilingual Edition
    "The translations of Sereni's poems in this volume are beautifully judged, subtle, and accurate. Sereni is a poet of great significance in the story of postwar Italian poetry, so it's high time his work should be available in the United States in an authoritative version. I'm delighted that Sereni is being brought back into English; he deserves it."—Rosanna Warren
