Purgatorio
In an age that provides more and more opportunities to enjoy blockbuster thrills and to behold dazzling real-looking terrors, the fewer and fewer occasions we get
to experience authentic human feelings anew are not to be wasted. Despite its shortcomings, Merwin's new PURGATORIO is one such occasion, and we should be grateful for it.

Let America Be America Again
A newly-illustrated edition of the classic poem, used extensively by John Kerry is his Presidential campaign.World-renowned poet and master of prose Langston Hughes enlightened Americans nationwide when his poem
Let America Be America Again
appeared in 1936. Today, more than half a century later, this poem`s insights into American society and its dream of social justice continue to resonate powerfully among readers. In celebration of the poem`s inspiring message, artist Antonio Frasconi illustrated Hughes` poem with thirty-two woodcuts in an extraordinary limited-edition artist`s book, adding a rich visual dimension to the poet`s verses. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., noted scholar and W. E. B. Du Bois Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University, contributed a foreword.A popular edition of this work, Let America Be America Again brings their important collaboration to a wider audience, faithfully reproducing the intricacy and subtlety of Frasconi`s prints. Each coupling of image and stanza conveys Hughes`—and Frasconi`s—dream of justice for all with compelling force. A call to fulfill this country`s potential for greatness, Let America Be America Again will touch every American who reads its pages.

The Caedmon Poetry Collection
A rare and thrilling listening experience. A choice gathering of some of the twentieth century's greatest poetry... read by the century's greatest poets - here available on CDA reawakened love for the sound of poetry has made modern poems subtly different from the poems of the eighteenth and nineteenth centures. We have only to listen to these poets reading their own works to know how important their interpretations are to a full comprehension of their poems. The ministerial intonations of Eliot, the passionate orchestrations of Thomas, the very very precise formulations of Cummings, the easy conversational inflection of Frost are integral, lending subtle clarifications which go beyond the printed page.The fact that this recording includes the voice of Yeats is something of a miracle. In the early 1930's, when the thought of recording poets occurred to few, Yeats himself made several recordings for radio broadcast. By sheer luck, an unmutilated copy was preserved; and now the rich and melodious voice can be heard by a new generation.The Caedmon Poetry Collection eliminates the struggle for perfect communication between author and reader.
