	Magical Realist Fiction: An Anthology Edited by David Young and Keith Hollaman Oberlin College Press, 1984 Library of Congress PN6071.F25M24 1984 \| Dewey Decimal 808.83876 This capacious anthology has selections from the authors you would expect to find, from others you may be less familiar with, and from writers you might not expect to show up in this company. The result is a treasure trove of unusual fiction, one of the most exciting anthologies to appear in the last decade. This is a poet's companion, a student's delight, great bedside reading: the kind of book you'd take to a desert island! Expand Description
	Orphic Songs Dino Campana Oberlin College Press, 1984 Library of Congress PQ4809.A52C313 1984 \| Dewey Decimal 851.912 This vivid presentation of Campana demonstrates why Italian readers have cherished his poems since the first appearance of Canti Orfici in 1914. Charles Wright’s translation, Jonathan Galassi’s introduction, and, as afterword, Montale’s thoughtful essay on Campana, identify the heart of this poet’s achievement. Expand Description
	The Storm & Other Poems Eugenio Montale Oberlin College Press, 1978 Library of Congress PQ4829.O565B813 \| Dewey Decimal 851.912 Winner of the PEN Translation Prize, these translations by noted American poet Charles Wright bring one of the major collections of poetry in this century to English-speaking authors. Nobel laureate Eugenio Montale considered La Bufera e Altro (The Storm and Other Poems) his best book. Expand Description
	The Unknown Rilke: Selected Poems Rainer Maria Rilke Oberlin College Press, 1990 Library of Congress PT2635.I65A28 1990 \| Dewey Decimal 831.912 Rilke's importance to the history of literature in the twentieth century is based on the power and memorability of his lyrics, and on his successful struggle to articulate a new vision of the human relation to the rest of creation. Wright’s brilliant translations of some of Rilke’s neglected poems are now widely admired. They are here enhanced by an additional selection and a new introduction by the translator.
