Proud to be one of the poets who contributed to this anthology. My poem Two Girls was the first thing I ever tried to get published. I wonder if I just got lucky. I wrote it in a way, you can't read it fast or it may sound confusing or incorrect. I'm a lover of language, and phrasing things in ways people aren't used to hearing them phrased. Never thought it would even get in the book, bringing up homosexuality and all. It even looks atheist if read the wrong way, and without thinking about it what it really means. That... was the sign I needed to keep going with writing. There are so, so many different kinds of poems in this book. Going through this for the first time, I kept ripping off parts of a tissue and sticking them in the pages, cause I didn't have a bookmark, so I could come back to the poems... well I ran out of tissue, so there are a lot of great poems in there! What I like about it is that I'm in the same book with people who have contrasting, or slightly different views/beleifs. (obvious by the poems) Diversity is a good thing in an anthology. I can recal a *hilarious* poem, and a poem that makes you want to just curl up and cry in a corner for days... in a good way. Theres poems that make you want to praise and celebrate, and there are poems that make you really need to think. I couldn't dream of a better anthology that I would want my first published thing in. I didn't even think I'd get in this one. You never know. Anyhow this would make a great holiday gift for any lover of modern poetry. There's a poem in this book for anything you can imagine. It's just a beautiful display of self-expression, wisdom, rhythem, and pure emotion. Definately add this to the collection.

W. D. Howells

North Carolina

For William Dean Howells, the 1880s throbbed with literary warfare over theory and criticism (realism), and social justice. But the terrible climax was more personal and came in the death of his daughter in 1889. The blow altered him radically. Among other changes, a poetry new to him emerged, a poetry in the modern tradition. This new poetry is available now as never before in Pebbles, Monochromes, and Other Modern Poems, 1896-1916. It is metaphysical, agnostic, and ironic with a modernist voice. Praised at the century's start by figures as notable as Stephen Crane, Henry and William James, W. E. B. DuBois, and Hamlin Garland, Howells arises again at the end of the century, hailed by the likes of John Updike and Gore Vidal. This rich cache of modern poems by W. D. Howells, lost for so long, is now made accessible under the editorial eye of Edwin Cady. Its significance is central to the understanding of the literary history and culture that defined the modern era and to the progeny that grew from that fertile soil.

Poems

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the internationally bestselling author of Love Her Wild comes The Dark Between Stars, a new illustrated collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems from Instagram poetry sensation, Atticus. Atticus, has captured the hearts and minds of nearly 700k followers (including stars like Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys). In his second collection of poetry, The Dark Between Stars, he turns his attention to the dualities of our lived experiences—the inescapable connections between our highest highs and lowest lows. He captures the infectious energy of starting a relationship, the tumultuous realities of commitment, and the agonizing nostalgia of being alone again. While grappling with the question of how to live with purpose and find meaning in the journey, these poems offer both honest explorations of loneliness and our search for connection, as well as light-hearted, humorous observations. As Atticus writes poignantly about dancing, Paris, jazz clubs, sunsets, sharing a bottle of wine on the river, rainy days, creating, and destroying, he illustrates that we need moments of both beauty and pain—the darkness and the stars—to fully appreciate all that life and love have to offer.

Poems for Two Voices

Written to be read aloud by two voices--sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneous--here is a collection of irresistible poems that celebrate the insect world, from the short life of the mayfly to the love song of the book louse. Funny, sad, loud, and quiet, each of these poems resounds with a booming, boisterous, joyful noise. In this remarkable volume of poetry for two voices, Paul Fleischman verbally re-creates the "Booming/boisterious/joyful noise" of insects. The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee. Eric Beddows′s vibrant drawings send each insect soaring, spinning, or creeping off the page in its own unique way. A clear and fascinating guide to the insect world--from chrysalid butterflies to whirligig beetles-- and an exultant celebration of life. Ages 6+
