Becoming Poetry

Poets and Their Methods

By: Jay Rogoff

Winner of the Lewis P. Simpson Award In Becoming Poetry, Jay Rogoff closely inspects the work of two dozen poets, his forebears and his contemporaries, to reveal how their poetry achieves its impact upon readers. His essays, drawn from more than twenty years of literary criticism, explore how the staying power of a poet’s work and the likelihood of its enjoying a lasting identification with its creator depend on the skilled manipulation of poetic technique. Considering how poetry can manifest a vividly conceived world of feeling and sensation, Rogoff maintains that we understand and evaluate poets by the sum of their most persuasive inventive strategies, including their attention to form. The poet, finally, constructs a uniquely imagined universe and thus, in the minds of readers, becomes the poetry. A model of practical criticism, intended for enthusiasts at all levels, Becoming Poetry demystifies how poetry operates on its audience to create a virtual, affective experience of lasting power and value.

Bring On the Night

By: Jay Davis,Don Davis

A serial killer is stalking the nighttime streets of Chicago. He leaves his victims with their throats torn out and their bodies completely drained of blood. He's killed dozens. His first two victims were cops. Detective Dennis Coglin is desperate to catch him before he kills again, but is this murderer just a vicious maniac, or is he something else entirely--something far beyond the power of the law and police routine? The sun will set in blood and the night will come for many more before this killer is stopped for good.

Tru

From the Words and Works of Truman Capote

By: Jay Presson Allen

Winner! 1990 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One-Person Show Adapted from the words and works of Truman Capote, "Tru" takes place in the writer's New York City apartment during the week before Christmas 1975. An excerpt from Capote's infamous novel "Answered Prayers" has recently been published in "Esquire" and the author's friends, recognizing the characters as thinly veiled versions of themselves, have turned their back on the man they once considered a close confidant. Alone and hurting, Capote soothes himself with pills, alcohol, and chocolate truffles while musing about his checkered life and career.
