A masterful achievement
"The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant" is a project begun in 1962 for the purpose of publishing all the known letters written by Ulysses S. Grant.

The Papers contain all known correspondence written by Grant and letters received by him. The editing of the series is unparalleled and the volumes represent primary source material at its apex.

you don't need this book to tell you what's cool
The best thing about this book were the stickers attached to the inside back cover. Besides that, I must say, I really liked the entry on "Black Hair".

Abfab to Zen
The ultimate cool, hip guide to Pop Culture icons! I'm having so much fun reading this -- and there are even free PAPER stickers included with the book. It's a fun trip down memory lane for those who have lived in New York City (or kept up with it)during the 80's and 90's -- it totally covers the downtown art, fashion, club and entertainment scenes. Amazing how many street trends PAPER covered early on have gone mainstream. Don't miss this one!

Guide to instant hipness - not for Giuliani fans
From Abfab To Zen is a must-read for anyone who yearns to be inside the mind of New York's pre-yuppie downtown. This summary of Paper Magazine's in-your-face visuals, sly takes on the media and seditionary stance on fashion, is a valentine to all the people and institutions that have been thinking outside of the box for the last 15 years. If you dare to be hip, buy it and refer to it.

Harold Bloom woke this series up!
Bloom's scathing, right-on-the-mark intro to 1997's Best of the Best seems to have breathed new life into this series. John Hollander has followed in the footsteps of Bloom by choosing poems that represent a wide range of styles, talents, and persuasions, but share one thing- poetic excellence. Though I'd like to see more selections from smaller presses, I'm delighted to have a book of 1998 poetry that doesn't advance a political agenda or look beyond the poems themselves to find meaning and value. Craig Arnold's "Hot" is worth the cover pirce alone- a poem that resonates, haunts, and changes on every re-reading. Selections by Ammons, Bly, Ashbery, and Strand show these masters at their finest. Bloom revitalized this once-sleepy series last year, and Hollander follows with a selection of poems that is even better than the Best of the Best. If you fear that we have lost our poetic magic in the late 20th century, this book will give you cause to reconsider.

Magnificent
This is simply the most superb installment in the series of Best American poetry anthologies. Robert Bly has chosen rich poems that are free of airs and stuffy language, cultivating the unmistakable flavor of American poetry. From newer names like the delightful Billy Collins to older legends such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Phil Levine and Robert Creely, The Best American Poetry of 1999 will have every reader finding something to love within its pages. All poetry lovers-particularly those who are tired of the so-called "language poets"-must give this book a try.

A Great Selection of American Poetry
As both a poet and a literature teacher who specializes in modern American verse, I have endured the stereotypical attacks upon modern verse many times. Why is it so hard to read? Why are poets so introspective? Why does poetry even exist at all? Robert Bly's selections for the Best American of 2000 answers all of these attacks with grace and gusto. These poems made me ask not "Why does poetry exist?" but rather, "Why doesn't more poetry exist?" This collection has great new offerings from Philip Levine, Louis Gluck, Denise Levertov, and other modern American masters. These poems aren't hard to read, and they aren't obscure. Modern American verse asks that its reader thinks for himself. If the reader isn't willing to participate actively in these poems, he will likely fail to enjoy them.

I always look forward to the best in American poetry every year, and 1999's anthology is a great addition to this series.
