The title sequence is justly famous as one of the major pieces of literature to come out of the Holocaust. It appears here with a new selection of Abba Kovner's work spanning his forty-plus years as one of Israel's leading poets.

"In defiance of the precariousness of human existence on a minor planet revolving around a minor star, A Saturday Night at the Flying Dog is a celebration.... Marcia Southwick, with her expansive lines and insoucient voice, offers a gift of great good humor to weigh against what we now know to be the cosmic scale of things."

"Jon Loomis's poems veer deftly and ironically between the sacramental and the sordid, with a wonderful economy of expression and sinuousness of line."

Killarney Clary reduces the contemporary landscape to its essences and essentials, revealing the ways in which it is broken, unchartable, mysterious, and violent. Her language is unerring, her vision unique.

This prized collection of Russell Edson's prose poems, featuring his own favorites from seven prior collections, constitutes some of the most original American art of this century. This is the book of choice for both new and committed fans of this imaginative poet.

Now this delightful and utterly original poet has been given a detailed and careful presentation in English.

Franz Wright was recognized as one of the leading poets of his generation even before he won the 2004 Pulitzer Prize. For this edition, the poet has selected from his previous collections, in some cases making substantial revisions, and has added his newest poems. The result is exciting in its breadth, consistency, depth, and distinction.

Luis Bunuel called Peret "the quintessential surrealist poet." Benjamin Peret is a poet like no other; his irreverence and incandescent imagination remain fresh and funny, and they are perfectly captured in this inspired, idiomatic translation.

Our first version of this selection from one of Eastern Europe's major figures sold out. The new version adds two sequences--"Give Me Back My Rage" and "Heaven's Ring"--as well as some previously unpublished sections of the justly famous series, "The Little Box."

In pure lyrics and longer elegiac poems this great Hungarian poet inscribed not only his own sad fate but that of millions in an Eastern Europe that was only nominally "between the wars" during the '20s and '30s."

Vanishing Lung Syndrome confirms Holub's special status as one of Europe's leading poets and as a rare mediator between scientific and literary modes of discourse. This book is darkly witty and mordantly accurate; it documents, among other things, the ignorance, folly and brutality abroad in our world. But it also brims with tenderness, humor, and occasional gleams of hope.
