This collection of Jonathan Swift's poetry is separated in three parts, according to their subject matter. The first section are poems addressed to a woman named Stella. Based off a real-life close friend of Swift's, Esther Johnson, the portion of poetry addressed to Stella contain beautiful tributes to this woman, with simple titles such as Stella's Birthday March 13, 1727. Though these poems display a tender amount of intimacy shared between the two, Esther Johnson and Jonathan's relationship is shrouded in mystery, leaving readers and historians to debate if they were just friends or something more romantic. The next section of The Poems of Jonathan Swift are dedicated to a woman called Vanessa, who was based off of one of Swift's lovers, Esther Vanhomrigh. Their correspondence and his poems about her suggested a more romantic relationship than the one he shared with Stella. With elegant word choice and masterful form, both women and their relationships with Swift are well documented in this book of poems. The final part of The Poems of Jonathan Swift is dedicated to the love of Swift's career--the satirization of politics. All of Swift's poems are written in iambic tetrameter and end rhyme, creating a fun and quick reading experience. This is a large collection of poetry covers a wide variety of topics with the humor and satire that Jonathan Swift was famous for. With these attributes, readers are welcome to enjoy Jonathan Swift's mysterious and passionate relationships as well as his humorous and intelligent criticism of politics. Now presented in an easy-to-read font and with an eye-catching cover design, this edition of The Poems of Jonathan Swift is perfect for a contemporary audience. With the decadent style of classic poetry combined with topics that are both entertaining and relatable, along with this edition's new features, this classic collection is restored for modern readers.

A sweeping achievement from a poet whose "rhythms are as alive to the roll and tang of syllables on the tongue as they are to the circulation of blood and sap" (Rosanna Warren, Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize citation). David Baker, acclaimed for his combination of “visionary scope” (Gettysburg Review) and “emotional intensity” (Georgia Review), is one of contemporary poetry’s most gifted lyric poets. In Swift, he gathers poems from eight collections, including his masterful latest, Scavenger Loop (2015); the prize-winning, intimate travelogues of Never-Ending Birds (2009); and the complications of history and home in Changeable Thunder (2001). Opening the volume are fifteen new poems that continue Baker’s growth in form and voice as he investigates the death of parents, the loss of homeland, and a widening natural history, not only of his beloved Midwest but of the tropical flora and fauna of a Caribbean island. Together, these poems showcase the evolution of Baker’s distinct eco-poetic conscience, his mastery of forms both erotic and elegiac, and his keen eye for the shifting landscapes of passion, heartbreak, and renewal. With equal curiosity and candor, Baker explores the many worlds we all inhabit—from our most intimate relationships to the wider social worlds of neighborhoods, villages, and our complex national identity, to the environmental community we all share. With his dazzling formal restlessness and lifelong devotion to landscapes both natural and human on full display, David Baker demonstrates why he has been called “the most expansive and moving poet to come out of the American Midwest since James Wright” (Marilyn Hacker).

Todd Swift is one of Canadaís leading younger expatriate writers. Elegant, moving, and masterful, Rue du Regard forms the final part of a trilogy, following the acclaimed Budavox and CafÈ Alibi. Written in Paris and London between 2001 and 2004, Rue du Regard crosses the channel between these two great cities and between two kinds of poetry: experimental and mainstream. The book deals with looking: in, out, back, and ahead. In almost whiplash motion, certain moods, themes, and images from Swiftís earlier collections here snap forward, double-back. The universal accidents of travel and memory, love and desire, violence and innocence, are central. Critical Comment ìIn this collection, Todd Swift ñ always engagingly readable ñ extends his ambitious and dazzling range of skills and styles. î ó Roddy Lumsden, author of Mischief Night: New and Selected Poems ìTodd Swift has a remarkably capacious imagination.î ñMontreal Review of Books, 2004 ìSwift perfects the irreverence of his humour.î ñHour ìWe are lucky to have him overseas contributing to this impressive catalogue of written work.... Finally and most tellingly, Swift asks in A Good Person in Snow: ëIs it wrong to hold ever tighter as you disappear?í The answer is no. Swift writes as if he is about to emerge from the blizzard and tell everyone how he did it. A shape shifter with a heart for Canada. Swift is one to recall, savour, and watch.î ñThe Globe and Mail, March 2005 ìOne of Swiftís endearing qualities is that he pays as much attention to the small people in his life, as he does to his mentors and great artists.... Swiftës best poems are restrained, tight-lipped and tempered, yet full of sombre and subtle allusion.î ñBooks in Canada, Feb. 2005 ìInfused with pop culture, Western Europe ... the poems move with their energetic author. Blog-worthy... î ñThis Magazine, Jan-Feb 2005 ìMusicality hardly begins to describe this rather colossal collection.... î ó Vallum , Fall-Winter 2005 ì[Rue du Regard] is a carefully wrought package... There is some clever wordsmithing going on in these pages... linguistic panache.... Swift is talented.îñ Montreal Gazette, Jan. 2005 ìTodd Swift might be thought of as a cosmopolitan, ... savvy, well read, travelled poet ... a promising poet whose work is entertaining, ingenious, humorous and likeable....î ñPoetry London, No. 50, Spring 2005 ì[Swiftís] poems cry out for a much wider audience. And if the next big Bloodaxe anthology doesnít contain at least a couple of them, it will be a poorer book for their absence.In Rue du Regard, his third full collection, Swift's work continues to mature. ... In ëTo My Wife Of Ninety Daysí Swift shows that he is one of those rare poets who can almost always write unsentimentally about love. Swift is still a million miles from becoming one of those worthy-but-dull middle-aged male poets of which the poetry world sometimes seems to be full. The hilarious satire, ëNote To The Editorí, is a poem Iím jealous I didnít write myself. ... The beautifully achieved ëCinÈma Du Lookí is the sort of voyeuristic poem, which, in hands of a lesser poet than Swift, could easily have turned out vulgar. Where others would be po-faced and over-earnest, Swiftís poems are disciplined by irony; where most would lapse into crudity he somehow manages to be lyrical. These are hugely important talents for a contemporary poet. But perhaps as important is the stark emotional honesty displayed in ëBallad Of The Solitary Dinerí, a description of the occasional loneliness of a life lived on the cusp of so many cultures.î ñKevin Higgins, The Dublin Quarterly, #3, 2005
