David Ferry's Of No Country I Know: New and Selected Poems and Translations provides a wonderful gathering of the work of one of the great American poetic voices of the twentieth century. It brings together his new poems and translations, collected here for the first time; his books Strangers and Dwelling Places in their entirety; selections from his first book, On the Way to the Island; and selections from his celebrated translations of the Babylonian epic Gilgamesh, the Odes of Horace, and of Virgil's Eclogues. This is Ferry's fullest and most resonant book, demonstrating the depth and breadth of forty years of a life in poetry. "Though Ferry is perhaps best known for his eloquent translations of Horace and Virgil, "Of No Country I Know" demonstrates that he deserves acclaim for his own poetry as well."--Carmela Ciuraru, New York Times Book Review Similar books: Bewilderment by David Ferry The Fault in Our Stars by John Green The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Book Thief by Markus Zusak Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman The Martian by Andy Weir Wonder by R.
