The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry
Rounding up the poets least likely to show up on the banks of mainstream verse, this anthology makes the case that America`s most exciting and freethinking poetry is being written outside of the confines of the academy and the genteel bookstore. Some of the poets here are well-known fugitives from conformity, like Diane DiPrima, Michael McClure, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, but others are more elusive, like Marc Smith and Jimmy Santiago Baca. Other poets come from other realms altogether: Jackson Pollock, Lenny Bruce, and Che Guevara all appear here.

Beowulf
Winner of England's 1999 Whitbread prize, Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney's translation of the ancient Anglo-Saxon epic is meant to retrieve the poem from its schoolbook purgatory and establish it as a living, powerful poem for contemporary readers. More than the story of a hero's battle with a gruesome monster, BEOWULF is a story of loyalty, nationalism, and--some say--the dawn of Christianity on what had previously been a violently pagan land.
