By continually discovering what's new in each day without forgetting yesterday's surprises, David Wagoner has succeeded in constantly expanding his range in a career that spans more than fifty years. In Good Morning and Good Night, this range includes his usual rich forays into nature and personalities, and poetry for all ages, young and old, amidst a vivid array of memories and explorations. Readers will find homages to the poets that have inspired him, as well as the bountiful lyricism that has made Wagoner's poetry one of our most enduring sources of delight and joy. Good Morning and Good Night features poems previously published in American Poetry Review, The American Scholar, Atlantic Monthly, Hudson Review, The Kenyon Review, New Letters, The New Republic, Poetry, Shenandoah, Southern Review, The Yale Review, and other leading literary journals.

Selected by Dave Smith as one of the five volumes published in 1990 in the National Poetry Series "I could not leave this book aside nor, among so many worthy others, could I choose another. It interested me, crooned to me, and in the end I loved it. I hope he writes many more. Read it. You will see why." -- Dave Smith "A poet whose own craft is beyond dispute and whose gifted heart has something to tell us about our ordinary selves we had almost despaired of hearing again in the American tongue." --John D. Bernard, Poet Lore

Winner of the 1984 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize. Originally published in 1983, Miles's Collected Poems received seven awards, including the Lenore Marshall/Nation Poetry Prize, and was one of three finalists for the 1983 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. A striking consistency -- of tone, of diction, of purpose -- characterizes Miles's life work. It has been a life well spent. --Publisher's Weekly. Miles is a poet of the first rank whose work might well be compared to that of Williams or Moore ... Collected Poems is a treasury of poetic wit and human understanding that belongs in all poetry collections. --Library Journal. Miles's work is one of the finest and most solid bodies of poetry to be found in this country. --A.R. Ammons.

In House of Poured-Out Waters, Jane Mead's substantial new collection, she continues to grapple with a world both personal and cultural. Poised in the slender moment between too early and too late, between the difficult past and the unimaginable future, Mead's poems remind us that the old debates about fate and free will, nature and nurture, are also matters of personal urgency. More than anything, it is her spiritual dimension that offers Mead a way into the future--but that way must be paved, image by image, with the world before her. Simultaneously conversational and lyrical, these fearless poems extend the possibilities of narrative verse.
