This is, perhaps, the widest ranging, most comprehensive poetry collection available, and it is useful for poetry courses at all levels. It contains an excellent introduction to reading poetry and understanding the elements, as well as sections on poems and paintings, poems and music, and poems from other languages.

This multi-national, multi-cultural, multi-genre and multi-lingual collection gives students a view and instructors an opportunity to teach the universality of poetry. Includes a superb historical range of poetry, from its recorded beginnings to most contemporary.

Gunnar Harding, perhaps the most prominent living Swedish poet after Tomas Transtromer, has won all the major Swedish literary awards, yet has scarcely been translated for English language readers. Guarding the Air: Selected Poems of Gunnar Harding presents 112 poems drawn from eleven of the thirteen books Harding has published that contain poetry in verse. The book contains a brief introduction by the translator; a useful guide to Harding's poetry in the form of his prefaces to his three Swedish volumes of selected poems; an extensive set of endnotes, many of which include or rely on comments by the poet; and an index to poem titles.

The instant New York Times bestseller featured on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon! B. J. Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be." Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way. With enthusiastic endorsements from bestselling luminaries such as Lemony Snicket, Judith Viorst, Andrea Beaty, and many others, this entirely unique collection offers a surprise around every corner. Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven! "Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it! Immediately!" --Judith Viorst, bestselling author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

This poetry anthology includes an outstanding collection of poets we found directly through Instagram. Thousands submitted. 54 poets chosen. These are their poems. This new book delves into the world of poetry, uncovering some of the best poets to be found on social media. Augie's Bookshelf undertook a mission that no other publishing company has ever carried out, and with the release of their new book, the company is helping bring emerging poets even further into the spotlight.The team at Augie's Bookshelf spent months researching Instagram to find the best poets on the platform. Over the course of their search, Augie's Bookshelf read thousands of poems from poets around the world, and out of the thousands of pieces of work read, 54 of the best poets were chosen to be highlighted in 'And We All Breathe the Same Air: A Poetry Anthology'."We believe that there are so many amazing writers out there that should have the chance to be published," said Molly Wolchansky, the founder at Augie's Bookshelf.

Robert Lowell once remarked in a letter to Elizabeth Bishop that "you ha[ve] always been my favorite poet and favorite friend." The feeling was mutual. Bishop said that conversation with Lowell left her feeling "picked up again to the proper table-land of poetry," and she once begged him, "Please never stop writing me letters—they always manage to make me feel like my higher self (I've been re-reading Emerson) for several days." Neither ever stopped writing letters, from their first meeting in 1947 when both were young, newly launched poets until Lowell's death in 1977. Presented in Words in Air is the complete correspondence between Bishop and Lowell. The substantial, revealing—and often very funny—interchange that they produced stands as a remarkable collective achievement, notable for its sustained conversational brilliance of style, its wealth of literary history, its incisive snapshots and portraits of people and places, and its delicious literary gossip, as well as for the window it opens into the unfolding human and artistic drama of two of America's most beloved and influential poets.
