American Wits
Distinguished poet and critic John Hollander offers, for the first time ever, a buoyant guided tour of American light verse--a tradition he delightfully pursues from Ambrose Bierce's sardonic THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY quatrains to the latter-day comic inventions of Edward Gorey, Kenneth Koch, and James Merrill. Along the way, AMERICAN WITS gathers a rich harvest of couplets, clerihews, epigrams, parodies, burlesques, and other forms of fractured verse. The varied and often surprising list of contributors includes Edwin Arlington Robinson, Don Marquis, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Morley, Dorothy Parker, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ogden Nash, Phyllis McGinley, and Anthony Hecht.

From his mid-`80s debut to this late-`90s retirement, Canadian-born professional wrestler Bret Hart (aka the Hitman) ruled the WWE as one of the sport`s greatest superstars. Born into a famous wrestling family, Hart distinguished himself with his technically proficient fighting style, an infamous feud with his younger brother, Owen, and those trademark pink trunks before his career was tragically cut short by an immobilizing stroke. This collection celebrates the Hitman`s remarkable legacy with personal interviews and 18 of his most memorable matches, including the notorious Submission Match with Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania 13.
