The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry
$9.73 - $9.73 at 1 store(s)
Rounding up the poets least likely to show up on the banks of mainstream verse, this anthology makes the case that America's most exciting and freethinking poetry is being written outside of the confines of the academy and the genteel bookstore. Some of the poets here are well-known fugitives from conformity, like Diane DiPrima, Michael McClure, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti, but others are more elusive, like Marc Smith and Jimmy Santiago Baca. Other poets come from other realms altogether: Jackson Pollock, Lenny Bruce, and Che Guevara all appear here.

E.L. Doctorow - Homer & Langley: A Novel
$3.98 - $12.47 at 3 store(s)
The real-life Homer and Langley Collyer were two wildly eccentric aristocratic brothers who lived together in a three-story Harlem mansion surrounded by 103 tons of avidly collected trash (including, among other oddities, the full chassis of a Model T Ford). National Book Award-winning author E.L. Doctorow has taken this outlandish tale as the inspiration for his novel, narrated by the blind Homer, who comes to rely on his brilliant but war-damaged brother Langley for survival. Despite the Collyer's constant attempts to hide from the world, Doctorow uses the brothers as a means to describe the shifting forces of American history outside their junk-shuttered windows. Indeed, Langley has become convinced that history repeats itself, and by relentlessly hoarding newspapers, he will eventually be able to predict the future. A grand, mad, and deeply touching tale, HOMER & LANGLEY creates an unforgettable portrait of two men lost on the fringes of society.
