Poetry, once the language of stories around campfires and popular entertainment, has lately seemed a rarefied art. And though poets are not yet again able to garner national theater or radio audiences as Edna St. Vincent Millay did in the 1930s and 1940s, poetry may be making a comeback.

The Song of Songs: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.
Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1977.
Call # BS192.2.A1 1964 .G3
No composition of comparable size in world literature has provoked and inspired such a volume and variety of comment and interpretation as the biblical Song of Songs In adding to the already bloated body of literature no lcaim is made that the present study supplies the master key to the inner sanctum of the mysteries of Solumon's superb Song, which the savant Saadia sulong ago likened to a lock for which the key had been lost. The quest for the supposedly lost key has been futile, for the door to the understanding of the Song was not locked, nor even shut, but has been wide open to any who dared to see and enter.

Hughes, Langston.
Selected Poems of Langston Hughes.
New York: Vintage Books, 1990.
Call # Decatur PS3515.U274 A6 1990
The poems Hughes wrote celebrated the experience of invisible men and women: of slaves who "rushed the boots of Washington"; of musicians on Lenox Avenue; of the poor and the lovesick; of losers in "the raffle of night." They conveyed that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from popular culture. They spanned the range from the lyric to the polemic, ringing out "wonder and pain and terror-- and the marrow of the bone of life."

Pound, Ezra.
Selected Poems.
New York: J. Laughlin, 1957.
Call # PS3531.O82 A6 1957
The verse and criticism which he produced during the early years of the twentieth century very largely determined the directions of creative writing in our time; virtually every major poet in England and America today has acknowledged his help or influence. Pound's lyric genius, his superb technique, and his fresh insight into literary problems make him one of the small company of men who through the centuries have kept poetry alive—one of the great innovators.
