Hardcover. Lewisburg ME, Bucknell University Press , 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 321 pages, black cloth covers with gilt lettering on the spine. Bright, unclipped dust jacket. INSCRIBED BY THE TRANSLATOR, DANIEL SHAPIRO on the title page. Bilingual edition. Chilean poet Tomas Harris's Cipango - written in the 1980s, first published in 1992, and considered by many to be the author's best work to date - employs the metaphor of a journey. The poems collectively allude to the voyage of Columbus, who believed that he'd reached the Far East ("Cipango," or Japan), not the Americas. Building on that mistaken historical premise, Cipango comments on the oppressive legacy of colonialism in Latin America - manifested in twentieth-century Chile through the 1973 military coup by Augusto Pinochet and the brutal dictatorship there - and on the violence and degradation of contemporary urban society. The author's vision is of a decadent, apocalyptic world that nonetheless contains the possibility for regeneration. Clean copy.

No dust jacket. 19 mostly full-page engraved illustrations. Will Carleton, brought up in a log farmhouse in rural Michigan, was America's poet. Writing about ordinary Americans and everyday life, he enjoyed the same kind of success that Robert Burns had in Scotland. "Betsy and I Are Out," a poem about divorce, was picked up by a national newspaper and brought him widespread recognition, that was cemented by "Over The Hill To the Poorhouse," which brought attention to the shabby treatment provided to the country's old and poor. "City Legends" is Carleton's third collection of "city" related poetry and 17th collection overall. Clean, bright copy.

A Siamese cat beneath a clothes line, three women with linked arms standing on the front lawn, a man drying his hands on a dish towel in front of the kitchen stove. These scenes are part of Close to Home and the accompanying the Getty Museum exhibition held from October 12, 2004 to January 16, 2005, which celebrate snapshots--"found" photographs by anonymous photographers--that capture everyday life in all of its joy, banality, and mystery. Taken between 1930 and the mid-1960s, these photographs, most of them in black-and-white, create an unpretentious portrait of suburban American life by untrained photographers whose images can be unexpectedly lyrical and moving.
