Ferlinghetti has been telling the truth in poems for more than four decades, and every indication is that he will continue to be heard when all the pretenders have turned to witless stone. Certainly the more than 50 pages of new work included here with his own selections of earlier work continue to maintain the faith. Published by New Directions, 80 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10011.

Here, for the first time, is a complete collection of Langston Hughes's poetry - 860 poems that sound the heartbeat of black life in America during five turbulent decades, from the 1920s through the 1960s.
Ted Hughes is one of the most imposing figures of English poetry in the second half of the Twentieth Century. He had already reached widespread literary acclaim before he was appointed Poet Laureate in 1984. Part of his fame, though perhaps not the most pleasant part for him, he acquired simply for having been the husband of the American poet Sylvia Plath (1932-1963). This private tragedy, for which he had long been publicly blamed, reached literary status with the publication, on the year of Hughes' death, of his autobiographical verse novel Birthday Letters. This collection of confessional poems, apart from having been one of the very rare instances of best-sellers among poetry books, came to cast a retrospective light on the œuvre as a whole, which called for a new survey of its main themes and issues. The New Selected Poems 1957-1994, because they have been selected and edited by Ted Hughes himself, remain the readiest digest of his work, and the book by which most readers will begin. Still, rooted as it is in the story of its author's life, and perhaps precisely because of that, Hughes' poetry meets some of the essential preoccupations of its time.
In 1973, at the age of twenty-three, Jim Carroll burst upon the poetry scene with his first collection, Living at the Movies, a book of vivid and inventive verse that won him comparisons to everyone from Arthur Rimbaud to Frank O'Hara. Carroll's first new book of poetry in more than a decade, Void of Course presents work composed over the last two years. His major themes--love, friendship, desire, time and memory, and, above all, the ever-present city--emerge in an atmosphere where dream and reality mingle on equal terms. These seventy-seven poems range from graphic, sensuous shorter pieces to edgy stream-of-consciousness prose poems to longer, more contemplative works such as "While She's Gone," an eerie tour de force of longing over a departed lover. Void of Course establishes that Carroll's power and purity of vision are stronger than ever.
