| 1. |  | The Poems, Short Fiction, and Criticism of Samuel Beckett: Volume IV of The Grove Centenary Editions
from Grove Press
Price: $16.32
Customer Review:
This is a great collection of Beckett's novels, including: Murphy, Watt, and Mercier and Camier.
Noticeably missing--and noted by Paul Auster in the editor's note--is Dream of Fair to Middling Women, published post-humously. This probably points to a rights issue with the Beckett estate, but... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

The title poem alone is worth the admission price. A great work, "Tollund Man" and other poems harken back to early Heaney--an elder echo to North, Wintering Out and Door Into the Dark. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. | ![]() | 1000 Years Of Irish Poetry
from Value Proprietary
Customer Review:
This is a breathtaking overview of Irish poetry. Great history in some of the older ones. I could have wished for more of that, but then there wouldn't have been as much room for the masters. I keep this one in the bathroom so I can take in some bits and chunks when I have a minute. It's a classic! | 5.0 / 5.0

This collection, like Outside History, paints the feminine landscape with an unexpected strength. Her poems inspire me with their music and their accurate depiction of the conflicting feelings that the roles of mother, woman and artist/individual can produce. Boland, like Plath, creates myth from... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $17.60
Customer Review:
Oh this is just too awful for words. Utterly tedious subject matter embalmed in hiply snide erudition [lazy obscurity with just enough reference points to thrill the trainspotters] and about as poetic as the drivel one has come to expect from an earnest Creative Writing Seminar student. Why has... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
