COMPLETE POEMS
Written by Blake, William
One of the great English Romantic poets, William Blake was also an artist, mystic, and visionary. His work ranges from the deceptively simple and lyrical Songs of Innocence and their counterpoint Experience--which juxtapose poems such as "The Lamb" and "The Tyger," and "The Blossom" and "The Sick Rose"--to highly elaborate, apocalyptic works, such as The Four Zoas, Milton and Jerusalem.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF RED
Written by Carson, Anne
The award-winning poet reinvents a genre in a stunning work that is both a novel and a poem, both an unconventional re-creation of an ancient Greek myth and a wholly original coming-of-age story set in the present.
