FRENCH PROSE POEM: AN ANTHOLOGY
The first English-language collection of its kind, this anthology offers an overview of the past and present history of a long-underappreciated--and now quickly burgeoning--poetic tradition. For decades, the prose poem has variously delighted, confounded, and incensed readers and critics.
BRIGHT DEAD THINGS: POEMS
Written by Limón, Ada
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARDA finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, Bright Dead Things examines the dangerous thrill of living in a world you must leave one day and the search to find something that is "disorderly, and marvelous, and ours."
ALL SOULS: POEMS
Written by Hamilton, Saskia

LIGHTS: POEMS
Written by Lerner, Ben

ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE
Written by Shakur, Tupac
Tupac Shakur's most intimate and honest thoughts were uncovered only after his death with the instant classic The Rose That Grew from Concrete. His talent was unbounded a raw force that commanded attention and respect. His death was tragic--a violent homage to the power of his voice.
SUNSET GUN: POEMS
Written by Parker, Dorothy
Now available as a stand-alone edition, the famous humorist's second collection of poetry ranges from lighthearted self-deprecation to gleefully acid-tongued satire and dark comedy. Known as the wittiest woman in America and a founder of the fabled Algonquin Round Table, Dorothy Parker was also one of the Jazz Age's most beloved poets.
