THE TANDEM RIDE is a book that follows the poet, teacher and translator Robert Bagg on various outdoor, deskbound, and romantic adventures, from boyhood through adolescence and maturity into old age. The poems are often composed in narrative blank verse or traditional forms, including Spenserian stanzas and sonnet sequences. Bagg's comfort zone has remained since his college days within the heady precincts of Greek myth, while writing about contemporary subjects in colloquial American speech.

Winner of the Herder Prize, Nichita Stanescu was one of Romania’s most celebrated contemporary poets. This dazzling collection of poems – the most extensive collection of his work to date – reveals a world in which heavenly and mysterious forces converse with the everyday and earthbound, where love and a quest for truth are central, and urgent questions flow. His startling images stretch the boundaries of thought. His poems, at once surreal and corporeal, lead us into new metaphysical and linguistic terrain.
