1.		Literature (An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, And Drama -portable, Parts 1-4) from Pearson, Longman Customer Review: I picked this book up for a class, expecting to be perfectly bored. Instead, this book woke up my sleeping love of learning and literature. The book is easy to understand and contains MANY great stories and poems in it. It also has a great glossary and index was well. It came with an additional... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Art of the Short Story from Longman Price: $14.82 Customer Review: This is the most-read and loved of my anthologies. In fact, it's the best I've ever glimpsed, skimmed through, picked up in a bookstore or library, or been given a reading assignment from. It provides the reader with a glimpse into the minds of some of the most well-known, and many obscure, short... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		An Introduction to Poetry from Longman Customer Review: When i ordered this book, it did not say anything about the book having missing pages. There are several sections of pages that are ripped out of the book, which i needed for class. I was not satisfied with this product.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing, Compact Edition (5th Edition) (Kennedy/Gioia Literature Series) from Longman Price: $68.04 Customer Review: The first review of this textbook is extremely misleading. This is THE most popular textbook in the country for Introduction to Literature courses. While the Norton is certainly popular too, it is not the "standard." Furthermore, the literature examples in the book are copious, varied and extremely... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Can Poetry Matter?: Essays on Poetry and American Culture from Graywolf Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: The title essay wasn't the best thing about this book on matters poetical, in my view. Whether poetry does matter or whether poetry can matter are two different questions, but Dana Gioia treats these two as one and the same and, in the end, doesn't answer it, except incompletely. Yes, poetry CAN... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Backpack Literature from Longman Price: $56.16 Customer Review: I'm a student and this textbook was assigned for my intro to literature class. I was surprised by how much I actually ENJOYED this textbook! There is a lot of good writing in it, some great examples of literature, which made for interesting class discussions. I even found myself reading a lot of the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Twentieth-Century American Poetics: Poets on the Art of Poetry from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages Price: $46.57 Customer Review: I bought this book for my Creative Writing: Poetry class and would recommend it to anyone who wants to know the basics of twentieth century poetics. It covers the most famous writers, such as Robert Frost, by summarizing their lives and providing examples of what forms of poetry they used and what... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, Portable Edition from Longman Customer Review: The books were well priced, as far as school books go these days... but the paper is almost as thin as toilet paper, so you you intend to highlight anything, it'll bleed through the page.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Gods of Winter from Graywolf Press Price: $11.90 Customer Review: this book is a sensitive, strong slice of the poet's life. As a critic, Daniel Gioia shines, and to read his poetry is indeed a priviledge!	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Interrogations at Noon from Graywolf Press Price: $14.00 Customer Review: My bias is toward poets who are more direct in what they are saying. This work I found a mix of stunning and hard to grasp poems. Still, the poems that reached me were enough to make me want to read more of this talented poet.

11.		An Introduction to Fiction from Longman Price: $68.40 Customer Review: I love this book. We used it for my Intro to Fiction class, and it has a good mix of short stories. It has a lot of extras for some stories that will help you understand the stories better. I commend my teacher for picking this book and I won't sell this book for book-buy-back. It was also the same... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

13.		The Hand of the Poet: Poems and Papers in Manuscript from Rizzoli International Publications Customer Review: There is something magical about seeing well known and loved poems in the poet's own hand... this book provides an interesting insight into the works of a good number of well-known poets. A must-have for those who read poetry with more than just a passing interest, this book is also a good starting... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Twentieth-Century American Poetry from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages Price: $85.27 Customer Review: Although I agree with some of the earlier reviewer's criticisms--particularly the arbitrary groupings of poets under artificial headings--I generally like the selections in this anthology. I was even more pleased with the companion volume of essays, which are difficult to find gathered together in... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Disappearing Ink: Poetry at the End of Print Culture from Graywolf Press Price: $14.40 Customer Review: I bought this book after attending a lecture by Mr. Gioia at the University of Texas. He impressed me with his courage in pointing out that Academic Intellectualism is killing poetry in America. He is a man with the courage of his convictions, a sensitive artist who hasn't lost his masculinity. We... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Daily Horoscope from Graywolf Press Price: $10.80 Customer Review: when reading gioia's first collection, you can't help but wonder if he is overrated. he is one of the most celebrated of the new formalists, and one of the leaders of the movement. you hear over and over how good he is. he is the writer of the "can poetry matter" essay. and, since he is outside the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Nosferatu from Graywolf Press Price: $11.65 Customer Review: In this case, it's a remarkable dramatic poem, in which good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, need vs. greed and all the other Big Fights come evocatively wrapped in a vampire's cape. Despite the grand scale of the tragedy and the Gothic settting, or maybe because of it, you will find yourself... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, Compact Edition, Interactive Edition (with MyLiteratureLab) (4th Edition) (MyLiteratureLab Series) from Longman Price: $76.60 Customer Review: This review refers to the 6th Edition. I read this book as a refresher of the basics and found it very helpful. I especially value the simple, easy to understand definitions of the Literary Elements and the examples that accompany them. It would be nice if we can search inside the latest... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
