What to Do about the Solomons"I ended What to Do About the Solomons absolutely swimming with affection, not just for the characters but for the multiple worlds that created them. Despite their collective penchant for psychodrama, there's something profoundly lovely and loving about the Solomons. And about Bethany Ball's debut."

"I ended What to Do About the Solomons absolutely swimming with affection, not just for the characters but for the multiple worlds that created them. Despite their collective penchant for psychodrama, there's something profoundly lovely--and loving--about the Solomons. And about Bethany Ball's debut."--New York Times Book Review "Wry, dark... full of emotional insight."--New York Times, 10 Books We Recommend This Week Finalist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and a New York Times Editors' Choice, What To Do About The Solomons is a transporting debut; a hilarious multigenerational family saga set in Israel, New York, and Los Angeles that explores the secrets, rumors, and gossip-filled lives of various madcap members of the Solomon clan and their wider kibbutz community. Elegant, sexy, and provocative, Bethany Ball's acclaimed first novel weaves contemporary Jewish history through a distinctly modern and very savvy tale of family life. "A fast-paced, multigenerational, dysfunctional family drama that also bubbles over with humor and intrigue."--Jewish Telegraphic Agency "As with any good literary soap opera, Bethany Ball's enjoyable debut is filled with fighting, betrayal, intergenerational misunderstandings, and a shocking secret or two."--New York Journal of Books "Big-hearted, fast-paced... poignant and full of joy...Ball has a keen eye for the absurdity of modern life, and a distinctive perspective."--National Book Review, "5 Hot Books"Binding Type: Paperback

Superb
Format: Hardcover
A superb selection of Williams' poetry in a handsome and durable small volume. The editor, Robert Pinsky, selected an appropriate spectrum of Williams' verse across his long career, including all his most famous poems. Reading and rereading these poems is always rewarding because of Williams' ability to capture arresting images, experiences, and states of mind. As with all anthologies, some choices may be arguable. I would like to see all of his great, late poem Asphodel included but Pinsky's choices make sense and reflect his sure knowledge of Williams' work. This book is a great addition to the worthy American Poets Project.

Another excellent volume from the American Poets Project
Format: Hardcover
As stated in another one of my reviews, every single Library of America volume I've ever purchased (including volumes from the American Poets Project) have been of the highest quality, superbly executed and just plain beautiful.
Already possessing several volumes of William Carlos Williams work, I purchased this compact, delightful volume as a gift for my oldest son (who shares my appreciation for both great literature generally, and poetry specifically). Upon its arrival (delayed, once again, by amazon's ridiculously slow delivery) I was more than pleased, and felt proud to be presenting my son with such a first rate representation of W.C.W.'s work.

they are still as good as they were when they were first written
Format: Kindle
I've been reading William Carlos Williams since the seventies. His poetry was ground breaking at the time of there release, and to me, they are still as good as they were when they were first written. His portrayals of every day people and pastoral scenes are still worth reading. His rhythms in his short poems are worth studying for any poet. I recommend reading his selected Poems.
