About this title

From the Back Cover:

Since 1936, the New Directions in Prose and Poetry anthologies have served as vehicles for the presentation of new and variant trends in world literature. The twenty-eighth number in the series, which draws on authors from five different countries places a special emphasis on prose--narrative, dramatic, and impressionistic; a relatively small but choice selection of poetry is included as well.

About the Author:

James Laughlin (1914–1997) founded New Directions in 1936 while still a student at Harvard. He wrote and compiled more than a dozen books of poetry as well as stories and essays; seven volumes of his correspondence with his authors are available from W.W. Norton. 

Peter Glassgold is the former editor in chief of New Directions.
