A Schoolboy’s Diary brings together more than seventy of Robert Walser’s strange and wonderful stories, most never before available in English. Opening with a sequence from Walser’s first book, “Fritz Kocher’s Essays,” the complete classroom assignments of a fictional boy who has met a tragically early death, this selection ranges from sketches of uncomprehending editors, overly passionate readers, and dreamy artists to tales of devilish adultery, sexual encounters on a train, and Walser’s service in World War I. Throughout, Walser’s careening, confounding, delicious voice holds the reader transfixed.
Living a lie can be tough, but the decision to come out as gay is not always easy, either-especially if you are still at school. Charlie, Clay, Josh, and Grant are openly gay high school boys who share their coming out stories. "The absolute worst room in the entire school-worse than the bio lab during frog dissection season, when the whole room smells like formaldehyde, and worse than the basement bathroom that the janitor never cleans and is always sticky and smells like cigarette smoke-is the locker room." Fears are confronted, tears can't be avoided, and friendships are put at risk. Each story is unique, but what is common for all of the boys is that when they claim the life that is rightfully theirs, it will get better.

A sweeping compendium of British verse from Old and Middle English to the present, including the best work of poets from every corner of the British Isles, The Columbia Anthology of British Poetry offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive single volume available. Carl Woodring and James Shapiro, the same experienced editorial team who brought students and lovers of literature The Columbia History of British Literature, now present a volume that resonates with contemporary significance, yet also takes into account the centuries-old poetic tradition that planted Great Britain centrally in the canon of Western Literature. The Columbia Anthology pays tribute to the renowned works that any include--Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Blake, Eliot, Auden. But the book also resurrects the voices of excellent poets, particularly women--such as Queen Elizabeth I, Anne Ingram, and Christina Rossetti--who have been unjustifiably ignored until recently. Contemporary British poetry is fully represented as well, with the work of Thom Gunn, Seamus Heaney, Liz Lochhead, and Paula Meehan bringing The Columbia Anthology up to the minute. Unencumbered by extensive notes that divert attention from the spirit of verse, The Columbia Anthology of British Poetry allows readers to discover the poems for themselves. It is a collection poetry lovers will want on their shelves for years to come, to read and enjoy again and again.
A notable figure in the cultural and social history of Denmark, Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig’s (1783-1872) works are still of great interest to us now. Keeping his vivacious ideas and personality intact, A Grundtvig Anthology includes extracts from Grundtvig’s historical, educational, theological, devotional, and poetical works. Each chapter is prefaced by insightful explanatory introductions by leading authorities on Grundtvig’s monumental body of work, along with a comprehensive introduction and further annotations of the texts. Seen in the way he viewed the myths of the North as an expression of the moral values and understanding of life of the Norsemen, as well as the great achievements of his hymn and song writing, joy of life, openness, and freedom are qualities often associated with Grundtvig. By offering selections from across his major works, this anthology succeeds in capturing his spirit in English translation, and his written legacy continues on.
An Anthology of Classic Poetry from some of the best well-known authors.
