T. S. Eliot - The Waste Land / A kopár föld
Éppen száztíz esztendővel ezelőtt, 1888 szeptemberében született a nagy angol költő, T. S. Eliot, és 1997 decemberében volt hetvenöt éve, hogy korszakalkotó költeménye, a _The_ _Waste_ _Land_ megjelent. A magyarban nincsen e költemény kétnyelvű (angol-magyar) kiadása (amilyen például németben van: T. S. Eliot, _Das_ _wüste_ _Land_ - Englisch und deutsch.) Emellett úgy vélem, hogy újrafordításom hűebben adja vissza az eredeti szöveget, mint az eddigi magyarul megjelentek. A költeményben sok angol és más nyelvű idézet van és sok _allusio_ régi és újabb irodalmi művekre. Ezek a magyar olvasóknak nem mindig ismertek, és Eliot a költeményhez írt jegyzeteiben viszonylag ritkán közli az idézetek és az _allusio_-k forrásainak akár csak rövidre fogott tartalmát. Rendszerint csak forráshelyeiket jelöli meg, amelyek ma már csak hosszabb-rövidebb keresés, utánanézés után lelhetők fel. Ezért a fordításomhoz _kibővítettem_ Eliot jegyzeteit a forrásművek rövid ismertetésével eredeti nyelven és magyar fordításban.

Walt Whitman - Selected Poems
Called by literary critic Mark van Doren "the most original and passionate American poet", Walt Whitman (1819-1892) created a body of verse uniquely his own - unconventional, lacking rhyme or meter, employing chanted lists of names and objects - but also powerful, sensual, oratorical and inspiring.
His most famous work - Leaves of Grass - was a lifelong project Whitman compared to the building of a cathedral or the slow cumulative growth of a tree. During his lifetime the book (actually a series of books) went through nine editions, between 1855 and 1892. Today, it is considered a landmark of American literature.
This volume contains 24 poems from Leaves of Grass, offering readers a generous sampling of Whitman's best and most representative poems.

Sylvia Plath - Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams
"What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.... If I sit still and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine."-- Sylvia Plath, from Notebooks, February 1956
Renowned for her poetry, Sylvia Plath was also a brilliant writer of prose. This collection of short stories, essays, and diary excerpts highlights her fierce concentration on craft, the vitality of her intelligence, and the yearnings of her imaginaton. Featuring an introduction by Plath's husband, the late British poet Ted Hughes, these writings also reflect themes and images she would fully realize in her poetry.

Tim Burton - The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy And Other Stories
Published by Harper Entertainment in 1997, Tim Burton's illustrated book of poems gave birth to a wide variety of loveably macabre characters, such as Stain Boy and The Boy With Nails in his Eyes. Many of these characters have also found their way into shockwave cartoons and a toy range. The twenty-three tales are equally amusing and tragic, but even when the fate of the freakish characters is grim, Burton's humour shines through, such as in this memorable line from the Robot Boy tale - He never forgave her unholy alliance: a sexual encounter with a kitchen appliance.
Robert Frost - Poems
Robert Frost (1874-1963) described himself as having had "a lover's quarrel with the world," and to this quarrel he brought a poetic consciousness and craft as powerful as any in the history of literature. His lyrics, dramatic monologues, and narratives, all of which are steeped in the wayward and isolated beauty of his native New England, stand like great, runic monuments at the center of America's inner life.
Edgar Allan Poe - Edgar Allan Poe összes versei / The Complete Poems
"Poe-t, a költőt sokan az abszolút ínyencek szerzőjének tartják. Valóban nem való mindenkinek, nem olvasható nagy mennyiségben, s nem is akármikor.
Főleg az utóbbi lényeges: verseinek olvasásához sajátos lelki állapot kell. Poe-t olyankor érdemes elővenni, ha például úgy érezzük, kissé túlságosan sok a zajos, önelégült ember körülöttünk, és nem kapunk levegőt tőlük; ha ravatalon látjuk azt, akit soha senki nem pótolhat számunkra...
Vannak őszi alkonyatok, amikor úgy tűnik: a közelgő éjszaka benyomja ránk az ablaküveget, és a besüvítő hideg ellen nem tudunk védekezni. Ilyenkor gyógyítanak Poe tompa tónusú, ólomsúlyú szavai, rímes bánatai, időmértékes szorongásai, lebegő iszonyatai, rejtelmes, anyagtalan víziói; talán úgy, ahogy megfelelő adagokban, szérum formájában a betegség kórokozói meggyógyítják a betegséget.
A kötet Poe kísérteties tájaira kalauzol - ahová a költő is menekült a szorongató élet valósága elől."
(Baróti Szabolcs)

Richard Brautigan - The Edna Webster Collection of Undiscovered Writings
On the eve of his departure from Eugene, Oregon, to San Francisco and worldly success, a twenty-one-year-old unpublished writer named Richard Brautigan gave these funny, buoyant stories and poems as a gift to Edna Webster, the beloved mother of both his best friend and his first "real" girlfriend. "When I am rich and famous, Edna," he told her, "this will be your social security.' The stories and poems show Brautigan as hopelessly lovestruck, cheerily goofy, and at his most disarmingly innocent. We see not only a young man and young artist about to bloom, but also the whole literary sensibility of the 1960s counterculture about to spread its wings and fly.
