20th Century Poet
 The 20th Century Children's Poetry Treasury by Jack Prelutsky, "Until this century, most children's poetry was either syrupy sweet or overblown and didactic, and tended to talk down to its readers. Contemporary children's poets have thrown all that condescension and moralizing out the window, and write with today's "real child in mind." - from the Introduction by Jack Prelutsky Here in one gloriously illustrated volume are 211 wonderful poems that represent the best this century has to offer. From sibling rivalry, school, monsters, food, and just plain silliness, to such ageless themes as the seasons, Who am I?, and the many moods of childhood, this is a collection that begs to be read aloud and shared with the whole family. The poems, from every decade of this century, showcase 137 famous poets. Selected by Jack Prelutsky, America's leading children's poet, and illustrated by award-winning watercolorist Meilo So, this useful and beautiful gift is a splendid way to end the century -- or start a new one. Truly a book that families will cherish long after the millennium excitement is over, The 20th-Century Children's Poetry Treasury is a joyous companion volume to the best-selling The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury.
 American Poets Say Goodbye to the 20th Century by Andrei Codrescu, The editors of this anthology asked more than one hundred American poets from divergent backgrounds and literary traditions the following question: How would you say goodbye to the twentieth century? In the pages of this anthology, we find the answers - answers that reflect on the past, weaving strands of memory and history, and others that look to the future. "The twentieth century is where we have lived our lives", say Codrescu and Rosenthal in their introduction. "Where we were constituted to be utterly unlike the centuries that came before us". The twentieth century brought steel girders and engines, the movies, world wars and genocide, mass consumerism, and the new-found religion of science and technology. American Poets Say Goodbye to the Twentieth Century not only explores a subject as vast as this century, but brings together a profound chorus of contemporary American voices. The editors deliberately straddled the customary fault lines in American poetry, approaching poets from all walks of verse. Writers both new and established are represented here, including Paul Auster, Charles Bukowski, Robert Creeley, Allen Ginsberg, Maxine Kumin, Carolyn Kizer, Charles Simic, David Trinidad, and Anne Waldman.

With classical certainties thought to be overthrown, and new social, economic, scientific, ethical, and logical problems, 20th-century philosophy was set for a series of attempts variously to reform, preserve, alter, abolish, previously conceived limits.
