The Best American Poetry 2006
"So welcome, readers, to a plurality of poets, a cornucopia of tropes, and a range of interests." -- From Billy Collins's introduction The Best American Poetry series offers a distinguished poet's selection of poems published in the course of a year. The guest editor for 2006 is Billy Collins, one of our most beloved poets, who has chosen poems of wit, humor, imagination, and surprise, in an array of styles and forms. The result is a celebration of the pleasures of poetry -- from Laura Cronk's marvelous "Sestina for the Newly Married" to the elegant limericks of R. S. Gwynn and from Reb Livingston on butter to Mark Halliday's "Refusal to Notice Beautiful Women." In his charming and candid introduction Collins explains how he chose seventy-five poems from among the thousands he considered. With insightful comments from the poets illuminating their work, and series editor David Lehman's thought-provoking foreword, The Best American Poetry 2006 is a brilliant addition to a series that links the most noteworthy verse and prose poems of our time to a readership as discerning as it is devoted to the art of poetry.

For Heaven's Sake, Marry The Man
Caroline Clayton still feels the pain and humiliation of betrayal years after her fiancé ran away with her bridesmaid the day before their wedding. That sickening cliché will never be repeated. Never. Beautiful, professional and independent, few have an inkling of how fragile she is except for Danny, the man she loves. Daniel Kavanaugh knows she’s perfect for him. He plans to spend the rest of his life with her, but her shield against heartbreak threatens to take marriage off the table. Here is guardian angel Matthew’s challenge. Daniel and Caroline have a destiny. Matthew hasn’t been able to accomplish that simple task for three earthly years. He takes a rare and radical step. Heaven, we have a problem.
Blues and the Poetic Spirit
This is an inquiry into the blues and the mind, a study of the blues as thought. The subconscious power of the blues is examined from a poetic and psychological perspective, illuminating the blues' deepest creative sources and exploring its far-reaching influence and appeal. Like Surrealist poetry in particular, blues communicate through highly charged symbols of aggression and desire--eros, crime, magic, night, and drugs, among others. An analysis of classic blues lyrics, along with source material from Freud and James Frazer, to Breton and Marcuse, conveys the blues' major poetic function of spiritual revolt against repression.
