James Laughlin must be turning in his grave. New Directions, one of the greatest presses in 20th Century literary history, has sunk to the wrong directions now in the 21st: they are letting marketing triumph over literary ethics and literature itself: This "Love Poems" is just a slick deceptive cover of Neruda's single book, "The Captain's Verses," which in itself is a great book, an important book in Neruda's oeuvre, with a good translation by Donald Walsh-- but to be so deceptive and re-title it as a marketing gimmick? I returned this book to Amazon after I found out what was underneath the false cover.

She Walks in Beauty: A Woman's Journey Through Poems (9781401341459): Caroline Kennedy: Books

In She Walks in Beauty , Caroline Kennedy has once again marshaled the gifts of our greatest poets to pay a very personal tribute to the human experience, this time to the complex and fascinating subject of womanhood. Inspired by her own reflections on more than fifty years of life as a young girl, a woman, a wife, and a mother, She Walks in Beauty draws on poetry's eloquent wisdom to ponder the many joys and challenges of being a woman. Kennedy has divided the collection into sections that signify to her the most notable milestones, passages, and universal experiences in a woman's life, and she begins each of these sections with an introduction in which she explores and celebrates the most important elements of life's journey. The collection includes works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sharon Olds, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mary Oliver, Pablo Neruda, W. H. http://www.amazon.com/She-Walks-Beauty-Journey-Through/dp/1401341454
As a slight departure from my usual format today I wanted to draw your collective attention to some of the great content in terms of books that I read this year (most of which were also published this year) that had an impact on my view of the power of the technology business… or were directly applicable in my business. I’ve enclosed a short blurb about each book from Amazon (as well as link directly to each of the books to make it easier to lay your hands on them) as well as my own thoughts about each and why you should take the time to read them. With the exception of the first book on the list, these are in no particular order…. But if you read only one book off this list make it the first one…. Enchantment will change your life… now on to the list. http://buckontech.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-for-2012-top-books-to-read-for.html
