Poetry

by Andrew Scrimgeour

available in November, hardcover, Everyman's Library Books have long captured the love, imagination, even the veneration, of readers everywhere. Emily Dickinson envisions these precious objects as “Frigates” that “take us Lands away”; Alberto Rios calls them “the deli offerings of civilization itself.” This affection extends to the hallowed gathering places of the written word: the libraries and bookshops where one can best hear “a choir of authors murmuring inside their books,” as Billy Collins has it.

available now, hardcover, Farrar, Straus and Giroux Poetry has always been at the heart of Farrar, Straus and Giroux's identity, ever since Robert Giroux first brought T. S. Eliot to the company.

This anthology includes work by every one of the more than one hundred poets FSG has published in its 75-year history.
