Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy. William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

Story0
Gracefully Unhinged is a fiercely intimate poetry collection for the women who have survived heartbreak with mascara running, sarcasm intact, and their hands still shaking around the pen. In these pages, Kerry Warren turns longing into lyric, grief into beauty, and emotional collapse into something almost glamorous. With equal parts devastation and wit, she writes of love, devotion, distance, Maine fog, feminine rage, dark humor, survival, and the beautiful absurdity of remaining deeply, inconveniently human in a world that rewards stone.

You’re Not a Girl in a Movie is a new collection of powerful poems by Hala Alyan, winner of the Arab American Book Award in Poetry and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. In these nine extraordinary poems, Alyan wrestles with the intimate themes that have driven her acclaimed body of work to date: the aching loss of homeland, the image and worth of women, and the violence of love. In Beirut, Brooklyn, and roads in the American West, she unravels the effects of decades of war and displacement on love and human worth and identity.
