Espaillat, poet, concludes her Foreword to the book with these words: "And how fortunate the reading public is to have this wealth of writing by one of the country¿s most interesting poets now in one volume, not so much a book as a library of books, composed by the many persons who inhabit this haunted and perceptive poet!

Buried in Emily Dickinson's letters are many lines that are stunningly beautiful, as beautiful as any to be found in her poems. Lewis Turco has taken some of these lines and written poems from them, on them, and around them. This volume, then, is a collaboration between two writers, one a 19th-century woman whose work became known to most readers only in the 20th century, and the other a post-modernist man of letters-an award-winning poet, critic, and scholar.In addition to the poems collected here, Turco has written an informative introduction and included several essays by feminist critics and other scholars who discuss various aspects of Emily Dickinson's letters.Emily Dickinson, Woman of Letters is therefore at once an addition to the Dickinson canon, a distinguished collection of contemporary poems, an important volume of critical scholarship in American literature, and a fascinating reading experience that will appeal to a wide audience of professionals and non-professionals alike.

The much-anticipated second edition of The Book of Literary Terms features new examples and terms to enhance Turco's classic guide that students and scholars have relied on over the years as a definitive resource for the definitions of the major terms, forms, and styles of literature.

An invaluable resource for writers and students of narrative seeking to master the art of dialogue. The book will teach you how to use dialogue to lay the groundwork for events in a story, to balance dialogue with other story elements, to dramatize events through dialogue, and to strategically break up dialogue with other elements of your story.

Now in its fifth edition, The Book of Forms continues to be the go-to reference and guide for students, teachers, and critics. Filled with both common and rarely heard of forms and prosodies, Turco's engaging style and apt examples invite writers to try their hands at exploring forms in ways that challenge and enrich their work.

THE FOREWORD BLUESWesli Court said I should write a book,A bunch of blues-enough to fill a book,And he'd design the cover. I said, "Look,If you'll write half of them, then I will chooseA ball-point pen, a felt-tip-I will chooseTo join you in a modicum of blues."And that's the reason, Reader, we are here-You, Wes and me-we three assembled hereAmong these turning leaves yellow and sere.We hope you'll think the words we write are fine,Our writing bold and dark, but our wordage fine . . . ,At least we hope you'll like the cover design.Envoy EpilogueGo, little book of sorrows, cares and woes,But Wesli's gone. Where? Only goodness knows.

This volume is a compilation of memoirs and poems of the author and his Sicilian immigrant family.

Poetry. "Lewis Turco... appears to have combined the longevity of Utnapishtim with the energy and industry of Gilgamesh: once seized with inspiration, he wrote THE HERO ENKIDU at white heat in his eightieth year. The inspiration itself is of the kind that, once someone has come up with it, makes us wonder why no one ever thought of it before, because in a number of ways Enkidu is a more interesting and attractive figure than Gilgamesh."--Michael Palma, from the Introduction
