Asphodel, that Greeny Flower & Other Love Poems


Book Description

A dozen poems on love by a New Jersey obstetrician (1883-1963) who often wrote them on office prescription pads. In the title poem, first published when he was 72, he wrote: "What power has love but forgiveness? / In other words / by its intervention / what has been done / can be undone."




Many Loves and Other Plays


Book Description

For this volume, originally published in cloth in 1961, William Carlos Williams collected, and revised, four full-length plays and the libretto of an opera on George Washington. As might be expected of the man who did most in our time to create a new and truly "American" idiom for poetry, Dr. Williams' writing for the stage challenges producers and actors to extend the range of modern drama.




Pictures from Brueghel

A collection of poems written between 1950 and 1962 by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, including the complete texts of two earlier volumes, as well as a selection of previously uncollected works.




A Book of Poems


Book Description

Hab?a sido un arbusto desmedrado que prolonga sus filamentos hasta encontrar el humus necesario en una tierra neuva. Y c?mo me nutr?a! Me nutr?a con la beatitud con que las hojas tr?mulas de clor?fila se extienden al sol; con la beatitud con que una ra?z encuentra un cad?ver en descompositi?n; con la beatitud con que los convalecientes dan sus pasos vacilantes en las ma?anas de primavera, ba?adas de luz... RAFAEL AR?VALO MART?NEZ
