Poems / by Plath, Sylvia.(CARDINAL)139835; Middlebrook, Diane Wood,1939-2007.(CARDINAL)507431;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-250) and index.Sylvia Plath's tragically abbreviated career as a poet began with work that was, in the words of one of her teachers, Robert Lowell, "formidably expert." It ended with a group of poems published after her suicide in 1963 which are, in the nakedness of their confessions, in their black humor, in their ferocious honesty about what people do to one another and to themselves, among the most harrowing lyrics in the English language-poems in which a magnificent, exquisitely disciplined literary gift has been brought to bear upon the unbearable. In these transfiguring poems, Plath managed the rarest of feats: she changed the direction and orientation of an art form.

Monet and the Mediterranean / by Pissarro, Joachim.(CARDINAL)202241; Brooklyn Museum of Art.(CARDINAL)227000; Kimbell Art Museum.(CARDINAL)139171;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 186-188) and index.Preface and acknowledgments -- Monet's Mediterranean -- Color plates and commentaries -- Notes -- Bibliography -- List of Monet's works illustrated -- Lender's list -- Photo credits.First invited by Pierre-Auguste Renoir to the Italian Riviera in 1883, Monet over the next decades crafted several magnificent series of works, remarkably different from the paintings that had established his reputation in the North. Here, assembled for the first time in its entirety, is the audaciously colorful group of works that he executed on the Italian and French Rivieras in 1884 and 1888, and in Venice in 1908. Arresting in their stunning color, dazzling light effects, and the sheer beauty of the land and the sea they depict, these paintings address in a new language the artist's ability to stretch his own pictorial boundaries. Now available in paperback, this new look at Monet accompanied the highly successful exhibition at the Kimbell Art Museum and the Brooklyn Museum in 1997.

Zweig met with a wide range of Invisibles to discover first hand what motivates them and how they define success and satisfaction. His fascinating subjects include...a virtuoso cinematographer for major films; the lead engineer on some of the world's tallest skyscrapers; a high-end perfume maker; an elite interpreter at the United Nations"--Provided by publisher.
