Mortality--imminent, not theoretical--forces the self to question the relation between the actual life lived and what was once the promise of transformation. This plays out against a broad landscape. The book opens with Marilyn Monroe, followed by the glamour of the eighth-century Chinese imperial court (seen through the eyes of one of China's greatest poets, Tu Fu). At the center of the book is an ambitious meditation on the Russian ballerina Ulanova, Giselle, and the nature of tragedy. All this gives new dimension and poignance to Bidart's recurring preoccupation with the human need to leave behind some record or emblem, a made thing that stands, in the face of death, for the possibilities of art.

"In this virtuoso collection, Paul Henry, poacher-like, tracks the journeys of the heart through landscape, love and loss. He takes his place as one of the most important Welsh poets now writing." – Carol Ann Duffy "This haunting, elegaic collection, about music, and made of music, leaves a reader's mind full of phrases, in both senses – verbal, and tonal – and exactitudes that catch and lodge in the memory." – Gillian Clarke From the sea of the poet's childhood to the stillness of a canal walked in middle age, The Glass Aisle moves between rage and stillness, past and present, music and silence. In the book's title poem, a telephone engineer repairs a line that crosses a canal to the site of an old workhouse. Tormented by the voices of former "inmates", he unwittingly connects the centuries, setting free the Victorian ghosts of poacher John Moonlight, lone parent Mary Thomas, and a host of others who haunt the poem's present-day walker. Elsewhere in this moving collection, love poems, elegies and familiar coastline "visitors", Brown Helen, Catrin Sands... define a nineteen-sixties childhood; a long poem, 'The Hesitant Song', "orchestrates silence" while playing "the sea's soft pedal" to convey the loss of a mother's songs. Lyrical and humane in its observations, The Glass Aisle is rich in the hallmarks readers have come to admire in Henry's poetry.

"To Speak of His Glory: Poems of Grace and Celebration" is a collection of poems in two parts. The first section contains poems of faith which relate ways that the author, a "cradle Episcopalian", has experienced God at work in her life. The second section is made up of poems about nature--birds and beasts, flowers and trees, passing seasons--all the beauty and glory of creation. The author writes in styles ranging from sonnets to haiku to free verse, with rhymes and without depending on the poem, and makes frequent use of extended metaphor in her attempts to capture a wide variety of subjects and experiences.

Composed by three poet-saints between the sixth and eighth centuries A.D., the Tevaram hymns are the primary scripture of the Tamil Saivism, one of the first popular large-scale devotional movements within Hinduism. Indira Peterson eloquently renders into English a substantial portion of these hymns, which provide vivid and moving portraits of the images, myths, rites, and adoration of Siva and which continue to be loved and sung by the millions of followers of the Tamil Saiva tradition. Her introduction and annotations illuminate the work's literary, religious, and cultural contexts, making this anthology a rich sourcebook for the study of South Indian popular religion. Indira Peterson highlights the Tevaram as a seminal text in Tamil cultural history, a synthesis of pan-Indian and Tamil civilization, as well as a distinctly Tamil expression of the love of song, sacred landscape, and ceremonial religion. Her discussion of this work draws on her pioneering research into the performance of the hymns and their relation to the art and ritual of the South Indian temple. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
