Philip Larkin's Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century English Verse provoked controversy and dispute on first publication in 1973. Warmly welcomed by fellow poets John Betjeman and W.H. Auden, it was also considered a quirky and idiosyncratic collection by some critics. Today it is recognized as a fine and wide-ranging selection of modern verse, valuable not least because it reflects the tastes of one of the best, and best-loved, English poets of the twentieth century. As the successor to W.B. Yeats's Oxford Book of Modern Verse 1892-1935, this anthology made a radical re-assessment of the century's achievement in poetry; it represented verse that was 'lighter in tone, more understated, more casual, more conversational, more colloquial, in a way more democratic and more domestic than it was for Yeats'. It also introduced many little-known poets whose names have not entered the canon, and whose contributions add colour and depth to the anthology. As Philip Larkin writes in his Preface, in choosing poems rather than individuals he has brought together 'poems that will give pleasure to their readers both separately and as a collection'. For this latest reissue, the poet's biographer Andrew Motion has written a new Foreword in which he considers the nature of Larkin as editor.

WHERE THE ART OF IMPROVISATION MEETS THE ART OF LITERATURE. "Colin Mochrie is a comedic and creative force to be reckoned with. Therefore, this book is a literary force to be reckoned with. If you are too lazy for reckoning, just read this book and everything will work out nicely." -BRAD SHERWOOD "Colin Mochrie is devastatingly handsome, perilously smart, and smells like warm maple syrup. Step inside his hilarious and complex mind, and abandon all hope." -AISHA TYLER "I adore Colin Mochrie. I think he is brilliant, so talented AND a dear sweet man. Also, he's funny as well and a good kisser!" -FLORENCE HENDERSON Based on the improv game First Line, Last Line, Colin Mochrie of Whose Line is it Anyway? fame puts a unique spin on works of classic literature. Taking the first line and last line from classic books and poems, Colin recasts these familiar stories in his own trademark offbeat style: - A verbose coyote becomes the star of A Tale of Two Critters - Ishmael is a struggling actor hunting for a good hair day in Moby - A rainy day at home becomes a zombie-killing adventure in The The Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century English Verse download ebook pdf Cat and My Dad - Mighty Casey strikes out again in Casey at the Bar These stories, and many more, prove that no literary masterpiece is too big, or too small, for the improvisational comedy treatment.
