ARIEL, by Sylvia Plath. The last poems of Sylvia Plath, written in the months immediately preceding her suicide in 1963, are among today's most powerful examples of the poetry of psychosis.
SELECTED POEMS, by Eugenic Montale. The light, the colors and the fruits of Italy are evoked by a great modern Italian poet, but his musings on his fellow men are somber. The translations faithfully reflect the poet's spare, luminous language.
EARTHLY PARADISE, by Colette, edited by Robert Phelps. By blending Colette's own reminiscences into a kind of autobiography, Phelps has produced a remarkable word portrait of the big cat of 20th century letters.
