Bottom: On Shakespeareby Louis Zukofsky, Celia Thaew ZukofskyISBN 0819565482 (0-8195-6548-2)
Softcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Bottom: On Shakespeare'Book summary:Written between 1947 and 1960 and first published in 1963, the prose work in the first of these two volumes reflects Louis Zukofsky's ongoing obsession with Shakespeare--whose plays he had first seen performed in Yiddish--and is central to understanding Zukofsky's work. Tracing the themes of knowledge, love and physical vision ("the eyes have it") through both Shakespeare's plays and the poetry, Bottom: On Shakespeare is more than a compendious act of homage by one poet to another. In effect, it lays out Zukofsky's poetics and theory of knowledge on a grand scale, tracing his themes through the whole of Western culture, from the Classical Greeks through William Carlos Williams.
The second volume of Bottom: On Shakespeare consists of Celia Thaew Zukofsky's spare operatic setting of Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre, a play in which Zukofsky saw Shakespeare rewriting the classic plots and tropes of the Odyssey. The Wesleyan edition features a new foreword by Bob Perelman. [via]More editions of Bottom: On Shakespeare:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dog Angel'Book summary:Full of wit, vivid language, and devastating honesty, the poems of Dog Angel trace the timelines of life forward and backward, and offer a moving examination of the connections that bind us together into families and communities. In these poems, we are often greeted by the congenial dead, corrected by the unreserved optimism of children, and reminded of the possible/probable/hoped for existence of God-as perceptions of the divine are transformed from a kindergartner's dyslexically scrawled "doG loves U" to the ever-present but oft-ignored Dog Angel of the title.

Heartwood: Meditations on Southern Oaksby Jalal Al-Din Rumi, Coleman Barks, John Moyne, William GuionISBN 0821225316 (0-8212-2531-6)
Hardcover, Bulfinch Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Heartwood: Meditations on Southern Oaks'Book summary:Born Jalaluddin Mohammad Balki in Persia in 1207, the poet known as Rumi (named after the city where he lived) composed works of mysticism and desire that inspired countless people in his own time and throughout the centuries. He led a relatively conventional life until, at about the age of thirty-seven, he met the wandering Sufi dervish and mystic Shams of Tabriz, and a fast friendship took shape. From his relationship with Shams, Rumi's teachings and poetry were changed forever. Rumi died in 1273. Though he is revered and respected in the East, today -- through the translation of his work into English -- his poems and teachings have found a new and receptive audience in the West.
The magnificence of Rumi's poetry has heartened the faith of people worldwide for more than seven hundred years, and William Guion's spiritual photographs of oak trees are a perfect visual complement. [via]

Holy Bible: Open Bible, King James Version, Brown Genuine LeatherISBN 0834003503 (0-8340-0350-3)
Softcover, Oxford Univ Pr
Find This BookBook summary:Shortly after inheriting the throne of England in the midst of violent religious strife, King James I called together the country's leading churchmen and theologians at Hampton Court, "for the hearing, and for the determining, of things pretended to be amiss in the Church."
Out of that conference came the memorable decision to commission a new translation of the Holy Scriptures. King James I eagerly approved the idea in the hope that this new translation might help avert civil war by uniting the religious factions within his country. The uniform translation, since called the "King James Version," dramatically affected the course of development of the English-speaking world.
Nelson's reprint of the King James Version of the Bible is a faithful reproduction of the original text set in modern typeface for better readability. The decorative initials and border designs are from a 1911 edition. [via]

If Only You Knew How Much I Smell You: True Portraits of Dogsby Roy Blount, Valerie ShaffISBN 0821228307 (0-8212-2830-7)

› Find signed collectible books: 'If Only You Knew How Much I Smell You: True Portraits of Dogs'Book summary:Who hasn't put words into their mutt's mouth? From "yes, the chicken-flavored treats are my favorite," to "no, I'm not quite ready for my bath," all dog devotees are guilty as charged--although not all do it in such a hilarious and endearing manner as writer Roy Blount Jr. and photographer Valerie Shaff in If Only You Knew How Much I Smell You: True Portraits of Dogs. Blount, humorist and author of Be Sweet, brings us closer to "understanding the 'inner dog'" through his use of Doggerel, a uniquely Blount brand of verse with the "canine measure somewhere between ordered and free." The effect of this puppy poetry--when paired with Shaff's truly remarkable duotone photographs of mixed and pure breeds--is comic genius. A Boxer coyly stares into the camera wondering, "What does that mean, 'expensive shoe'? / I ate it because it smelled like you," while a chubby-tummied bulldog declares "Good stick. / Got a good stick. / A real / good / Stick. / Getting all the good / Out of this good / Stick / That's in / This / good / Stick." You'll never be able to resist this entertaining and affectionate look at our canine friends as "they ponder the confusions, certainties, pangs, and pleasures of a dog's life." [via]

Outlandish Bluesby Honoree Fanonne JeffersISBN 0819565849 (0-8195-6584-9)
Softcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Outlandish Blues'Book summary:Fierce and sensual, the poems in Outlandish Blues merge everyday speech with a shimmering lyricism and burst from the page into song. Honoree Fanonne Jeffers sees the blues, what she terms the "shared 'blue notes,''' as an important intersection between the secular and the divine, and between the various African American vernacular traditions, from spirituals to jazz. Part Nina Simone, part Bessie Smith, her poems are filled with a sweaty honesty, moving from the personal to the collective experience. This movement is often accomplished through the use of personae, concentrated here in a stunning series of poems on the Biblical figures of Hagar and Sarah. Whether about a contemporary domestic scene, a slave ship, or Aretha Franklin, these are poems that speak to the soul of experience. [via]

Softcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Poasis: Selected Poems, 1986-1999'Book summary:Pierre Joris's poems are characterized by an arresting mix of passion and intellect, by what Pound called "language charged with meaning." For Joris, a language is always a second language, and his poetry takes as its main concern the question of marginality and exile. He is unique in being an American poet comfortable in three languages, and his work is filled with a dynamic language play, cross-linguistic puns, and themes of speculation on language, translation, and nomadism. Poasis, Joris's first major publication in the United States, highlights his work since the mid-1980s. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Rimbaud and Jim Morrison: The Rebel As Poet'Book summary:"The poet makes himself into a visionary by a long derangement of all the senses."Rimbaud[via]In 1968 Jim Morrison, founder and lead singer of the rock band the Doors, wrote to Wallace Fowlie, a scholar of French literature and a professor at Duke University. Morrison thanked Fowlie for producing an English translation of the complete poems of Rimbaud. He needed the translation, he said, because, "I dont read French that easily. . . . I am a rock singer and your book travels around with me." Fourteen years later, when Fowlie first heard the music of the Doors, he recognized the influence of Rimbaud in Morrisons lyrics.
In Rimbaud and Jim Morrison Fowlie, a master of the form of the memoir, reconstructs the lives of the two youthful poets from a personal perspective. In their twinned stories he discovers an uncanny symmetry, a pattern far richer than the simple truth that both led lives full of adventure and both made poetry of their thirst for the liberation of the self. The result is an engaging account of the connections between an exceptional French symbolist who gave up writing poetry at the age of twenty, died young, and whose poems are still avidly read to this day, and an American rock musician whose brief career ignited an entire generation and has continued to fascinate millions around the world in the twenty years since his death in Paris. In this dual portrait, Fowlie gives us a glimpse of the affinities and resemblances between European literary traditions and American rock music and youth culture in the late twentieth century.
A personal meditation on two unusual, yet emblematic, cultural figures, this book also stands as a summary of a noted scholars lifelong reflections on creative artists.More editions of Rimbaud and Jim Morrison: The Rebel As Poet:
