Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poemsby: Eliot/Errol Le Cain, T,S.

Growltiger's Last Stand and Other Poems
by: Eliot/Errol Le Cain, T,S.

NY, Farrar Straus Giroux, 2nd pr., 1988, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright price-clipped dust jacket. Color illustrations by Errol Le Cain. Previous owner's inscription front fly leaf. Three poems from Eliot's rollicking ode to felines, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, are gloriously and elegantly illustrated by Le Cain. ``Growltiger's Last Stand,'' ``Of the Awefull Battle of the Pekes and Pollicles,'' and ``The Song of the Jellicles'' spring to life with Le Cain's stylish paintings that match and extend each verse of the rich text. Sinister Siamese arranged in triangles represent Growltiger's foe ``armed with toasting forks and cruel carving knives''; chaos reigns as the Pugs and Poms ``Bark bark bark bark/ Bark bark BARK BARK/ Until you can hear them all over the Park''; suave black-and-white cats ``like to practice their airs and graces/ And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.'' The clean typeface and layout make Eliot's poetry take center stage framed by the wonderful illustrations.

Guilty Knowledge, Guilty Pleasure: The Dirty Art of Poetry by: Logan, William

Guilty Knowledge, Guilty Pleasure: The Dirty Art of Poetry
by: Logan, William

Hardcover. NY, Columbia University Press, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 328 pages. William Logan has been a thorn in the side of American poetry for more than three decades. Though he has been called the "most hated man in American poetry," his witty and articulate reviews have reminded us how muscular good reviewing can be. These new essays and reviews take poetry at its word, often finding in its hardest cases the greatest reasons for hope. Logan begins with a devastating polemic against the wish to have critics announce their aesthetics every time they begin a review. "The Unbearable Rightness of Criticism" is a plea to read those critics who got it wrong when they reviewed Lyrical Ballads or Leaves of Grass or The Waste Land. Sometimes, he argues, such critics saw exactly what these books were-they saw the poems plain yet often did not see that they were poems. In such wrongheaded criticism, readers can recover the ground broken by such groundbreaking books. Logan looks again at the poetry of Wallace Stevens, Frank O'Hara, and Philip Larkin; at the letters of T. S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, and Robert Lowell; and at new books by Louise Gluck and Seamus Heaney. Always eager to overturn settled judgments, Logan argues that World War II poets were in the end better than the much-lauded poets of World War I. He revisits the secretly revised edition of Robert Frost's notebooks, showing that the terrible errors ruining the first edition still exist. The most remarkable essay is "Elizabeth Bishop at Summer Camp," which prints for the first time her early adolescent verse along with the intimate letters written to the first girl she loved. Clean, like new.

Hornbeam Tree and Other Poems, Theby: Norman/Ted Rand, Chrls

Hornbeam Tree and Other Poems, The
by: Norman/Ted Rand, Chrls

NY, Henry Holt, 1st, 1988, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Illustrated with color watercolor pictures by Ted Rand. This slim volume includes 19 poems about nature, including 8 about birds, all of which are illustrated with bold, realistic watercolor paintings. The poems describe animal appearance and behavior in natural, clear images that any nature-watcher can understand. The cardinal, for example, ``Tries not to look conspicuous/ In red, but doesn't quite know how,'' and the spaniels have ``Periscope tails and hairy feet.'' Several poems such as ``The Beaver, Alas'' are wry commentaries on human attitudes toward nature. The few poems which try for an arch tone (``Slothful the sloth is certainly noth'') are less successful. Rand's detailed close-up paintings of individual birds and animals and his more humorous montages of animals for poems such as ``At the Zoo'' balance beautifully with the text.
