"So many times, I think of myself as a strong and independent person, filled with confidence and pride. And sometimes I forget that? It's all because of you, Mom." - Judith Hintz TanakaThis book brings together some of the best contemporary poetry and writings about a mother and her importance in our lives, in a collection destined to be treasured by mothers everywhere for many years to come.This book is more than a tribute to a mother. It is also an eloquent expression of our appreciation for all that she has done since the day we were born. It conveys our thanks for the lifetime she has invested in raising us to be the people we are today. It holds a promise that we will never forget all she has taught us, shared with us, and sacrificed for us -- instead, we will value her legacy forever and strive to hand it down to future generations. Most of all, this book is a gift of love for the one woman to who we owe everything... Mom."I can never thank you enough for all that you have taught me, and done for me. I can never repay you. All I can do is tell you that I love you with all my heart, that I'm grateful for you, and that I cherish you and the closeness we share." - Deborah A. Brideau

One of the most original and widely imitated poets of the twentieth century, William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) wrote verse firmly rooted in concrete experience and the particulars of everyday life. A practicing physician for more than 40 years, Williams worked in the idiom of modern American speech ― unlike his friend and mentor, Ezra Pound ― and his poems are redolent with a warmth and generosity of spirit. The Beat poets were particularly impressed with the accessibility of his language, and Williams's widely quoted dictum, "No ideas but in things," influenced a generation of American poets.
This fine selection offers readers the opportunity to study and enjoy the richness and variety of Williams's early work. More than 70 poems, published between 1917 and 1921, include "Peace on Earth," "Tract," "El Hombre," "Danse Russe," "Keller Gegen Dom," "Willow Poem," "Queen-Anne's-Lace," "Portrait of a Lady," "The Widow's Lament in Springtime," and many others.

A remarkable montage of poems that explore film, poetry, and the elusiveness of reverie.

A. Van Jordan, an acclaimed American poet and the author of three previous volumes, "demonstrates poetry's power to be at once intimate and wide-ranging" (Robert Pinsky, Washington Post Book World). In this penetrating new work he takes us with him to the movies, where history reverberates and characters are larger than life. The Cineaste is an entrancing montage of poems, wherein film serves as the setting for contemplative trances, memoir, and pure fantasy. At its center is a sonnet sequence that imagines the struggle of pioneer filmmaker Oscar Micheaux against D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, which Micheaux saw not only as racist but also as the start of a powerful new art form. "Sharpen the focus in your lens, and you / Sharpen your view of the world; you can see / How people inhabit space in their lives, / How the skin of Negroes and whites both play / With light." Scenes and characters from films such as Metropolis, Stranger than Paradise, Last Year at Marienbad, The Red Shoes, and The Great Train Robbery also come to luminous life in this vibrant new collection. The Cineaste is an extended riff on Jordan's life as a moviegoer and a brilliant exploration of film, poetry, race, and the elusiveness of reverie.

from "Last Year at Marienbad"

A place, though visible, is like a ghost
of memories. Even memories one forgets
linger in the space in which they occurred.
Here within the expanse of vaulted ceilings,

doorways leading to more doors, hallways
leading to more halls, the faintest recollections
absorb over time; no act will wholly evanesce.
