Into the Heart of European Poetry
John Taylor's brilliant new book examines the work of many of the major poets who have deeply marked modern and contemporary European literature. Venturing far and wide from the France in which he has lived since the late 1970s, the polyglot writer-critic not only delves into the more widely translated literatures of Italy, Greece, Germany, and Austria, but also discovers impressive and overlooked work in Slovenia, Bosnia, Hungary, Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands in this book that ranges over nearly all of Europe, including Russia.While providing this stimulating and far-ranging critical panorama, Taylor brings to light key themes of European writing: the depth of everyday life, the que...
Harsh Out of Tenderness
Elias Petropoulos was the most controversial Greek writer of the twentieth century. Imprisoned three times during the Junta (1967-1974) and persecuted by Greek judges as late as the 1980s, this poet and "urban folklorist" produced a vast and groundbreaking oeuvre that continues to provoke extreme reactions from readers.

The Wheel
Poetry. THE WHEEL is a survey of the turning circles and cycles of religion, history, politics, myth, nature, and culture, from Stonehenge to the war in Iraq, from tree rings to the "circular edge of the urban" separating the wild from the sanitized suburban world that remains firmly in the natural world, no matter what humans think. The poems are provocative, political, humane, and funny. "This is one sweet book. Jordan Jones writes with such a pure voice, offering up all the matters of life that he cares deeply about and the universe requires that we all care about. Very lovely refreshing true poems; it's a book to believe in"--Sandra McPherson.
