Here is the eagerly awaited new edition of "The Oxford Book of American Poetry", brought completely up-to-date and dramatically expanded by poet David Lehman. It is a rich, capacious volume, featuring the work of more than 200 poets - almost three times as many as the 1976 edition. With a succinct and often witty head note introducing each author, it is certain to become the definitive anthology of American poetry for our time. Lehman has gathered together all the works one would expect to find in a landmark collection of American poetry, from Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" to Stevens' "The Idea of Order at Key West", and from Eliot's "The Waste Land" to Ashbery's "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror". But, equally important, the editor has significantly expanded the range of the anthology. The book includes not only writers born since the previous edition, but also many fine poets overlooked in earlier editions or little known in the past, but highly deserving of attention. The anthology confers legitimacy on the Objectivist poets; the so-called Proletariat poets of the 1930s; famous poets who fell into neglect or were the victims of critical backlash (Edna St. Vincent Millay); poets whose true worth has only become clear with the passing of time (Weldon Kees). Among poets missing from Richard Ellmann's 1976 volume, but published here are: W. H. Auden, Charles Bukowski, Donald Justice, Carolyn Kizer, Kenneth Koch, Stanley Kunitz, Emma Lazarus, Mina Loy, Howard Moss, Lorine Niedecker, George Oppen, James Schuyler, Elinor Wylie, and Louis Zukosky. Many more women are represented: outstanding poets, such as Josephine Jacobsen, Josephine Miles, May Swenson. Numerous African-American poets receive their due, and unexpected figures, such as the musicians Bob Dylan, Patti Smith and Robert Johnson have a place in this important work. This stunning collection redefines the great canon of American poetry from its origins in the 17th century right up to the present.

Treating each physical page of the original report directly, Mr. Macdonald takes his readers on an operatic journey through the shifting fields of language that have arisen in the post-9/11 world. A resident of Brooklyn, NY at the time of the attacks, the "author" modifies each line of text with the alternating tenderness and rage of one who has experienced the uncertainties of this changed world firsthand. Indeed, the agency of this change is evident throughout the text, from the first black, redacted bars to the last faded musical staffs, Mr. Macdonald generates an entirely new narrative while maintaining an apparition of the report's prior contents. "The O Mission Repo" is published by Fact-Simile Editions, a boutique press in Santa Fe, NM specializing in literature that pushes the boundaries of genre and traditional form.

Herman Melville ranks with Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson as one of the three great American poets of the nineteenth century. Whether meditating on the bloody battlefields of the Civil War, the mysteries of faith and doubt in the Holy Land, or the strange relationship between the Maldive Shark and the pilot fish that glide before "his Gorgonian head," Melville's verse combines precise physical detail and rich metaphysical speculation in an unorthodox style and with a compressed power uniquely his own. The fruit of decades of textual scholarship, this fourth and final volume of the Library of America Melville edition gathers for the first time in one volume all of Melville's poems: the four books of poetry published in his lifetime, his uncollected poems, and the poems from two projected volumes of poetry and prose left unfinished at his death. Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War is both a deeply philosophical work of mourning for the Civil War dead and a fascinating record of campaigns and battles and the war's immediate aftermath. With a cast of characters to rival Moby-Dick, the epic poem Clarel, about a young American divinity student's pilgrimage to the Holy Land, plumbs the profound existential and religious questions that haunted Melville throughout his life. In two late privately issued books, the retrospective John Marr and Other Sailors and Timoleon Etc., the aging poet returns to the nautical scenes and reading of his youth. Many of the poems in the two manuscripts left unfinished at Melville's death, Weeds and Wildings and Parthenope, have not been previously available in a reliable trade edition.

La poésie américaine dite "moderniste, malgré l'influence qu'elle exerça sur de nombreux écrivains français, malgré la place acquise par ses auteurs dans le canon mondial, demeure relativement peu connue en France. Qu'est-ce que le "modernisme", et comment se manifeste-t-il en littérature ? Comment la poésie qui s'y voit associée se pense-t-elle et s'y réinvente ? Existe-t-il une spécificité américaine au sein d'un modernisme qui comptait parmi ses traits saillants le dédain des frontières et la circulation réticulaire des oeuvres et des idées ? C'est un parcours de lecture, jalonné de nombreuses citations, que nous propose cet ouvrage, en prenant comme point focal la première génération de poètes modernistes américains, nés à la fin du XIXe siècle et actifs, aussi bien aux Etats-Unis qu'en Europe, jusque dans les années suivant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Tout en s'efforçant de clarifier la généalogie et le devenir des différents mouvements (imagisme, vorticisme, objectivisme), il s'attache aux pas de figures singulières parfois bien identifiées, parfois plus discrètes : Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein et T. S. Eliot bien sûr, mais aussi William Carlos Williams, H. D. , Wallace Stevens ou Marianne Moore. Une bibliographie en fin de volume permettra au lecteur curieux de repérer les éditions des textes originaux et leurs traductions françaises et de s'orienter dans la critique.
