Copper Canyon's Give and Get

Take advantage now of Copper Canyon Press' Give and Get promotion:
http://www.coppercanyonpress.org/giveandget/

For a donation of just $5 (though you're welcome to give more), Copper Canyon will send you the book of your choice from a list of 8 of their outstanding collections of contemporary poetry and translations.

Of course, when they send you the Copper Canyon catalogue along with your give & get title, you may find you're shelling out a bit more cash. Here are my suggestions for where to start:

All-American Poem by Matthew Dickman
(The samples will give you an idea of this young poet's deep poeticism, but the rich humour will be a suprise when you check out the book.)

Taha Muhammad Ali's So What, translated by Gabriel Levin and Peter Cole
(There's a deceptive simplicity to this Palestinian's poet's work, which nevertheless grapples with the complexities of living -- and of living in the modern Middle East.)
