› Find signed collectible books: 'The Collected Poems'
Sylvia Plath died in 1963, and even now her outsize persona threatens to bury her poetry--the numerous biographies and studies often drawing the reader toward anecdote and away from the work. It's a relief to turn to the poems themselves and once more be jolted by their strange beauty, hard-wrought originality, and acetylene anger. "It is a heart, / This holocaust I walk in, / O golden child the world will kill and eat." While the juvenilia and poems written before 1960 that Ted Hughes has included here prefigure Plath's later obsessions, they also enable us to witness her turn from thesaurus-heavy verse to stripped-down art as they gather power through raw simplicity. "The blood jet is poetry. / There is no stopping it," she declares in "Kindness." [via]

This is a new edition of the complete poems of Keith Douglas, who is largely recognized as the most brilliant British poet of the Second World War. He was killed in June of 1944 in Normandy at the age of only twenty-four, yet had already achieved a considerable body of work. Douglas began writing poetry while at school at Christ's Hospital and later at Oxford University, and continued his poetry while serving in the army in England and the Middle East. Desmond Graham, Douglas's biographer, and a poet in his own right, has revised his original edition of the poems, bringing the poignant words and powerful images of this distinguished poet once again to life.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Difficulties of a Bridegroom'
Ted Hughes is Britain's reigning poet laureate, and he confesses that most of his short fiction is merely "an accompaniment to my poems." But there are many gems here, including the affecting trilogy portraying the poet's South Yorkshire childhood. The finest tale in this collection may be "The Wound," actually a radio play about a dying soldier trekking across a pitiless desert. The death-march transforms itself into an allegory of the Buddhist path from death to rebirth. Most of these short stories date from the 1950s and 60s, before Hughes became a famous poet. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Essential Shakespeare'
From the introduction by Joyce Carol Oates:
Between them, our great visionary poets of the American nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, have come to represent the extreme, idiosyncratic poles of the American psyche. . . .
Dickinson never shied away from the great subjects of human suffering, loss, death, even madness, but her perspective was intensely private; like Rainer Maria Rilke and Gerard Manley Hopkins, she is the great poet of inwardness, of the indefinable region of the soul in which we are, in a sense, all alone.
