Understanding Poetry
Cleanth Brooks, Robert Penn Warren

Wadsworth Publishing, 1976

The right book at the right time.
For most of my life, I hated poetry. One year, I had a great English teacher who really showed me what poetry was all about and got me interested. This book was just what I needed. I bought it because it had the look of the best prose book around (Writing Prose: ...
  
  











  



  
Band of Angels (Voices of the South)
Robert Penn Warren

You'll find all of these poems elsewhere... in thick, expensive volumes. You know who to expect here, and, depending on your knowledge of poetry, might be, as I was, pleasantly surprised and introduced to unfamiliar poets. Buy this book because you can. Read it ...
  
  











  



  
Short Story Masterpieces
Robert Penn Warren, Albert Erskine

Dell, 1954

A Classic Anthology of Fresh and Surprising Choices
The title is no lie. These are masterpieces, one and all. The editors, Warren and Erskine, display a fine discernment in their choices. Every story is great. There isn't a single dud, not even the one by Mister Sominex himself, Henry James. And the editors didn't ...

All the King's Men
Robert Penn Warren

Bantam Books, 1963

All The King's Men
This is my favorite book of all times. Its sensual flow captivated me and carried me on a fascinating trip. I felt like it was a long poem and understood when I discovered Robert Warren Penn is a poet first and novelist second. The writing was the main character in ...
  
  











  



  
All the King's Men
Robert Penn Warren

Harvest Books, 1996

The Web Of Things
I put off reading this novel for almost twenty years from when it was first recommended to me for the simple reason that I dismissed as a "political" novel and, ergo, not of the first water. - How wrong can a prospective reader be?!? - To begin, this is not a ...

Selected Poems Of Herman Melville: A Reader's Edition (Nonpareil Book)

David R Godine, 2004

What Was He Thinking?
After the publication of The Confidence Man in 1857, Melville gave up. He had written ten books in eleven years, of such daring originality that they would scarcely be appreciated until a century later. He was ill and depressed, so he did what any genius of language ...
  
  











  



  
The Collected Poems of Robert Penn Warren
Robert Penn Warren, John Burt

Louisiana State University Press, 1998

Warren's poems are a triumph of the human spirit.
I find most contemporary poetic practice notable only for its miserly concern for the difficulties attendant upon the small, the domestic, the momentary--huge acreages felled only to tell us that someone built a fence in their backyard once, and their husband helped ...

Robert Penn Warren

J.S. Sanders & Co., 2002
