Whether regarded as medical treatise or brilliant satire, The Anatomy of Melancholy reflects Robert Burton''s frustrations over "too many books" to research in the context of Erasmus'' model of copious discourse. Aiming to infuse undergraduate literature courses with poststructuralist criticism now mainly the realm of graduate study, Schmelzer (St. Joseph''s College, Phila., PA) places Erasmus'' De Copia (1512) center stage in the epistemological shift to the empirical validation of truth in 17th century Western Europe.

Animals are sentient beings. This means that they are just as much capable-if not more capable-than humans are of feeling pain, sadness and other emotions. We teach our children to be kind and loving towards all creatures, then turn around and feed them these same animals.Children and animals share a common innocence; it is devastating that we lose this innocence as we grow older, trading it for ignorance-ignoring the inhumanity and injustices of how we treat animals across the country and throughout the world. While we are ignorant to their pain, it is no secret how these animals receive their pain. Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Our nations'' animals are not just treated poorly, but their basic rights are taken away. This collection of poetry was written to make people more aware of what is going on in our world-we are killing the animals, hurting the environment, and ultimately ruining our health, the health of our children, and jeopardizing the future of humankind.

One by one, each bird wakes up and issues its call, with songs rising into a crescendo until a little bluebird calls for a hush—and finds its own voice. With bold shapes, deeply saturated colors, and simple language, Mary Murphy revels in the joy of sound and offers an ode to individuality sure to enchant the youngest of listeners.

This book tells a story that nobody knows because at the time the story happened, nobody cared. The individual lives of the labouring Irish were unrecorded, irrelevant. The Hungry Grass weaves the threads of daily routine, annual cycles, religious faith, fairy belief, communal practice, and political reality to show as clear a picture as possible of the very complex life among tenant families in the nineteenth-century. The poet begins with the little she knows of her Murphy ancestors: the names and birthdates of the six who survived to emigrate, and the name of the parish where they lived. I also knew from my triple-great-grandfathers obituary that two children did not survive. This volume is one continuous poem that unfolds over the course of fifteen years. It never falters in evoking its theme, or in being focused and concise, with impeccable word choices, and unfailing, echoing rhythm. When employed, the rhyming is subtle and musical. The shape of thought, which is a consistent seven-syllable line with occasional variation of one or two syllables, is masterful in its execution of sound and sense. This is poetry that will show anyone who doubts it the continuing and necessary love of this craft, this art.
