Excerpt from Poems of Sixty-Five Years The Spider, when included by his friend Samuel Gray Ward in Channing's first series of poems varied but little from its first form, though shortened slightly. When, four years later, Emer son's first collection of poems came out, the resem blance in form of Channing's Spider to a favorite metre of Emerson led people to say that Channing had imitated Emerson's Bumblebee, though in fact his poem was written and printed before a line of Emerson's verse had attracted notice.

Excerpt from Poems of Sixty-Five Years Dear Reader! if my verse could say How in my blood that Nature runs Which manifesteth no decay - The fire that lights a thousand suns; How thou and I are freely lent A little of that element: If I could say what landscape says, And human pictures say far more - If I could twine the sunny days With the rich colors on the floor Of daily Love - how thou and I Might be refreshed with charity! How grateful is the softened smile Of winter sunset o'er the snow! And blessed is our spheral isle That through the unknown void must go; The current of that stream is sweet Where many waters closely meet.

In The Vintage Book of African American Poetry, editors Michael S. Harper and Anthony Walton present the definitive collection of black verse in the United States--200 years of vision, struggle, power, beauty, and triumph from 52 outstanding poets. From the neoclassical stylings of slave-born Phillis Wheatley to the wistful lyricism of Paul Lawrence Dunbar . . . the rigorous wisdom of Gwendolyn Brooks...the chiseled modernism of Robert Hayden...the extraordinary prosody of Sterling A. Brown...the breathtaking, expansive narratives of Rita Dove...the plaintive rhapsodies of an imprisoned Elderidge Knight . . . The postmodern artistry of Yusef Komunyaka. Here, too, is a landmark exploration of lesser-known artists whose efforts birthed the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts movements--and changed forever our national literature and the course of America itself. Meticulously researched, thoughtfully structured, The Vintage Book of African-American Poetry is a collection of inestimable value to students, educators, and all those interested in the ever-evolving tradition that is American poetry.
