When W.B. Yeats discovered Rabindranath Tagore's work in translation, he felt an intense kinship with a man, whose work was similarly grounded in spirituality and opposition to the British Empire. For the Irish poet, Tagore's poems were at once deeply personal and essentially universal, like a secret kept by all and shared regardless: "I have carried the manuscript of these translations about with me for days, reading it in railway trains, or on the...

Spring and All (1923) is a book of poems by William Carlos Williams.

In Spring and All, the closest thing to a manifesto he wrote, Williams addresses the nature of his modern poetics which not only pursues a particularly American idiom, but attempts to capture the relationship between...

Once a friend-scientist asked me: "What is meant by the inner life?" I answered: "Read my poetry." He read, and he said: "Now I know."
Longings is a collection of the songs of a soul singing, crying, and laughing about the sun and the moon, reflected in the seemingly still waters of the lake, hiding the never-peaceful water-god and his court.
Longings paints the images of myriads of feelings and thoughts that find their lives in words. These words...

STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.

O TROUPE of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.

THE world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.

The history of Poland, since the eighteenth century, has been marked by an almost unending struggle for survival. From 1795 through 1945, she was partitioned four times by her stronger neighbors, most of whom were intent on suppressing if not eradicating Polish culture. It is not surprising, then, that much of the great literature written in modern Poland has been politically and patriotically engaged. Yet there is a second current as well, that of...

Butchers On The Moon was originally published as a 40 page manifesto of sorts from an impossibly young poet, songwriter and filmmaker from Minnesota named Jack Norton. Sold mostly at his concerts, only one copy of the original chapbook is known to exist today and can be found in the archives at the University of Mississippi in Oxford.
Jack burned all writings (poems, songs, short stories and a novel) he worked on before 2008, so these lost gems are...
