Poems of the Sea, McClatchy, J. D.
Throughout history, poets have felt the ancient pull of the sea, exploring the full range of mankind's nautical fears, dreams, and longings. The colorful legends of the sea-pirates and mermaids, phantom ships and the sunken city of Atlantis-have inspired as many imaginations as have the realities of lighthouses and shipwrecks, of icebergs and frothing foam and seaweed. This marvelous collection includes classics old and new, from Homer and Milton to Plath and Merwin. Here are Tennyson's seductive sea-fairies next to Poe's beloved Annabel Lee. Here is Coleridge's darkly brooding "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" alongside the grandeur of Shakespeare's "Full Fathom Five." And here is Masefield's "I must go down to the seas again" alongside Cavafy's "Ithaka" and Stevens's "The Idea of Order at Key West." In the wide variety of lyrics collected here-sonnets and sea chanteys, ballads and hymns and prayers-we feel the encompassing power of our planet's restless waters, as metaphor, mystery, and muse.

OK I know I wrote this book but I am recommending it because even now after three years, it is still getting great reviews and people love it and well, it's hard out there for a little book of haikus no matter how beloved!

For being the hopeless romantic I am just having his works like The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and the Taming of a Shrew all in one cheaply...

Cloth covered, bright and beautiful. The cobal blue reminds me of sitting on the shore in Greece... if only I'd ever done that ;)

William Blake is one of Britain’s most fascinating and groundbreaking poets, as well as a renowned painter, engraver, radical, and mystic. Although Blake was dismissed as an eccentric by his contemporaries, his powerful and richly symbolic poetry has been a fertile source of inspiration to the many writers and artists who have followed in his footsteps. Collected here are some of the finest of Blake’s works—including the complete poems from the famous Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience—together providing a singular picture of this unique genius.

Anyone who has ever listened to the original poem "Casey at the Bat" (written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, circa 1888) will appreciate the never-say-die attitude of this sequel by Dan Gutman. And it might provide a much-needed dose of confidence for rookie pitcher Merkin Valdez who has just joined an impressive array of talent in the San Francisco Giants bullpen.

Snark, the omnipresent sarcasm pervading politics, news and comedy of late, is (perhaps not surprisingly) neither a new word nor a new phenomenon. Lewis Carroll, author of "Through the Looking Glass," creator of beloved, hapless Alice, wrote an "agony" of considerable heft nearly 200 years ago. The seventh "fit" details the "Banker's Fate . . . and so we have come full circle, to a time when this seemingly babbling brook of words becomes incredibly relevant to our present-day circumstances. As they say, you can either laugh or cry.

As an avid journal keeper, I really appreciate one with lovely character. If your like me, you have people who know that you love to write and give you writing journals as gifts at least a couple of times a year. So I consider myself a lucky girl to have a small stack of empties waiting for me. And the assortment of them alone, is something to be happy about! This Etsian has embellished this little writing book with joyful, sprigs of colorful ribbon along the spiral binding and covered the outisde with a funky, mod flower fabric. It's guaranteed not to get lost on the bookshelf or in the bottom of your bag.

Some argue that Elizabeth Alexander's "Praise Song for the Day" was more poem than verse, but I was deeply moved by both her words and her reading of this ode to Barack Obama on the day of his Inauguration as the 44th President of the United States. And, although I am neither poet nor poetic scholar, I will be certain to get a copy of "American Sublime": a hefty sampling of Alexander's work. A little poetry, a little history, a little hope and a lot of originality.
