Dylan Thomas

A classic New Directions book revised for the 21st Century.

Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) prepared this volume in 1952―the author's choice of the ninety poems he felt would best represent his work up to that time―and it was published by New Directions in 1953 as The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas, shortly after his death. This book was then and remained, for all practical purposes, Thomas's "collected" poems and in that sense complete. However, with the 1971 publication of the 192 poems in The Poems of Dylan Thomas (also now available in a revised edition), Thomas's Collected Poems has naturally evolved to become Thomas's Selected Poems.

Thomas wrote his last poem, "Prologue," especially to begin this collection, and addressed it to "my readers, the strangers." Two unfinished poems are included in this edition: "Elegy," prepared by Vernon Watkins, and "In Country Heaven," prepared by Daniel Jones―both Welsh poets were life-long friends of Dylan Thomas. Textual corrections discovered over the course of forty years have now been incorporated, and a complete index of titles and first lines, as well as a brief chronology of the author's life, have been added.

As it has for half a century, this book includes the best of Dylan Thomas's poetry―"Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines," "The Force that Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower," "And Death Shall Have No Dominion," "Poem in October," "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night," "The Hunchback in the Park," "In My Craft or Sullen Art," "In Country Sleep," and Thomas's poignant reflection on his youth, "Fern Hill."

Selected Poems, 1934-1952

A prologue in verse, written shortly before the poet's death, augments this collection of all the poems which Dylan Thomas himself wished to preserve.

Poetry for Dudes

As contemporary poets sing the glories of birds and birch trees, regular guys are left scratching their heads. Who can speak for Everyman? Who will articulate his love for Xbox 360, for Mama Celeste’s frozen pizza, for the cinematic oeuvre of Bruce Willis? Enter Broetry—a stunning debut from a dazzling new literary voice. “Broet Laureate” Brian McGackin goes where no poet has gone before—to Star Wars conventions, to frat parties, to video game tournaments, and beyond. With poems like “Ode to That Girl I Dated for, Like, Two Months Sophomore Year” and “My Friends Who Don’t Have Student Loans,” we follow the Bro from his high school graduation and college experience through a “quarter-life crisis” and beyond.

Patrick Phillips

Illinois

Poems

From New York City subway encounters to memories of pickup basketball games on Fourth Street, a love letter to the past, and to all the relationships and memories our homeplaces hold, from the National Book Award finalist.

"I will consider a slice of pizza," opens Phillips's poem "Jubilate Civitas." "For rare among pleasures in Gotham, it is both / exquisite and blessedly cheap." Thus, as throughout this collection, he celebrates a simple pleasure that "in a time of deceit . . . is honest and upright, steadfast and good"; even the busted buttons we press when waiting to cross the street make for elegy in a collection that brings us this poet at his burnished best.
 
Phillips finds his love of a complex, vibrant city extends to his dearest people--he writes for his friend Paul, dying of cancer; for his wife's stormy eyes when they fight; for the baby boy he once woke at night to feed and change. All these and more pass through Phillips's elegant yet colloquial lines, in a book that shines with love and honesty on every page. As he writes, "If you're reading this / we were once friends."

Jack Prelutsky

Delaware

The poet laureate of the young set is back, with his artist laureate collaborator, to "take another swipe at stuffiness."- Here are more than one hundred poems bursting to be read, chanted, laughed over, and remembered.It would be hard to find a schoolage kid who has not read or heard a Prelutsky poem and who does not want to hear another. He plays with the language and encourages readers to revel in the game. Puns, jokes, wordplay and shape play, wit, silliness, slapstick, and joy abound. Some of the poems are about people, some are about animals. And some are about things that never were (and that one hopes never will be). Be warned: Read a poem once and you will love it. Read it several times and it will be part of you forever.

A Portrait in Pictures and Words

"To celebrate the feline in all its forms and beauty, and to mark our timeless affection for this transcendental animal, this collection of stunning photographs and elegant prose, poetry and quotes offers a full spectrum of our wonderful friend, the cat."--Charlotte Fraser

Every cat knows how to charm. Their alluring countenance and flawless prowess will put a smile on any feline lover's face. This stunning photographic collection of the cutest and most exquisite cats, complemented with a sprinkling of feline-inspired quotes and poems, is guaranteed to captivate and enchant anybody who has ever known the comforts of living with a cat.

"Cats were first domesticated an estimated 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. Since then, felines have been worshipped and loved by humans, from Ancient Egyptian times to the present day, aesthetically for their image of perfection, grace and poise, or simply for their calming presence and companionship. Known as majestic and mysterious creatures, their beguiling presence has inspired some of the most renowned writers, painters, psychologists and celebrities alike. T. S. Eliot, Pablo Picasso and Sigmund Freud are among those who have contributed to the portrayal and analysis of the feline's impenetrable, yet compelling, demeanor, in one way or another, highlighting the significant impact they have on our lives. Even as far back as the fifteenth century, evidence shows that one writer and his cat were literally inseparable, when a number of inky prints marked by the cat's paws were discovered in the pages of a medieval Italian manuscript. As cats have become part of our homes and families over the centuries, they have also grown into one of our greatest comforts and joys. Jean Cocteau's knowing comment, 'I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul', is an underlying truth for anyone who has ever owned a cat."
