No Word of Farewell
R. S. Gwynn is America's greatest poetry satirist. This book collects the finest poems from the author's previous five collections -- all printed in limited editions, and now long out of print. A leading figure in the renaissance of form and narrative in American poetry, Gwynn is a master of song and storytelling. A rare, true wit.
New Expansive Poetry
This long awaited revised edition of Story Line Press's first controversial and influential anthology contains 16 essays by leading poet-critics on the New Narrative and the New Formalism, the most compelling movement in American poetry since Ginsberg and the Beats. New Expansive Poetry also includes ten statements by women poets on the use of form and an up-to-date introduction by editor R.S. Gwynn. Contributors include Rita Dove, Dana Gioia, Marilyn Hacker, Mark Jarman, Mary Jo Salter, and Timothy Steele, among others.

Pale Fire
The American poet John Shade is dead. His last poem, 'Pale Fire', is put into a book, together with a preface, a lengthy commentary and notes by Shade's editor, Charles Kinbote. Known on campus as the 'Great Beaver', Kinbote is haughty, inquisitive, intolerant, but is he also mad, bad - and even dangerous? As his wildly eccentric annotations slide into the personal and the fantastical, Kinbote reveals perhaps more than he should be. Nabokov's darkly witty, richly inventive masterpiece is a suspenseful whodunit, a story of one-upmanship and dubious penmanship, and a glorious literary conundrum.
