Love & War, Art & God
This collection of Shapiro's poems, dating from 1940 to the present, represents a modest and careful selection of his best work. The 90 poems are divided into four sections: Love, War, Art, and God. The early poems of the '40s reveal a freshness that represents the best of experimental modernism, while those of the '80s are is segmented by loyalties of region, gender, ethnic group, and style of life. Shapiro was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1945 for his V-Letter and Other Poems. ISBN 0-913773-08-5 (pbk.) : $10.00.

Coda
This collection is compiled from the unpublished poems of Karl Shapiro at the University of Texas in Austin and elsewhere. They are largely as Shapiro left them, in a desk drawer in his apartment in uptown Manhattan. ... "Proposition" When we’re old lovers, sitting in separate chairs Silently, will you think our love has faded Though we smile richly and are still unaided By doctors, accountants and presumptuous heirs? Though talk has frozen in geologic layers Of long alignment of the loved and hated And even our sexuality is jaded And we have settled all our private cares Including death, listen to me, adored, Words cannot fail us ever, no matter how The fates brighten their implements to prove That even gods and geniuses get bored With marriage, fucking and poetic love, Because, beloved, we call each other thou.

Adult Bookstore
"Now in this, his latest collection of poems never before published in book form, Mr. Shaprio again reveals his remarkable range of expression. There are pungent descriptions of household affairs, as in "Garage Sale," and illuminating glances at the workaday world, as in "Girls Working in Banks." From acid comments on the academic world ("The Humanities Building") to powerful visions of history ("Eclogue: America and Japan") and classical myth ("The Rape of Philomel"), the poems in this volume will certainly engage not only those readers already acquainted with Shapiro's work, but also anyone who enjoys good poetry."--
