Book excerpt: Elinor Wylie (September 7, 1885 – December 16, 1928) was a popular American poet and novelist of the 1920s. Miss Elinor Hoyt, commuting between Mainline Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., led an outwardly conventional social life which concealed a disastrous domestic life. She became notorious, during her lifetime, for her multiple affairs and marriages, which often made its way into her writings. She was a beautiful though glacial and formal woman—highly erotic, savoring the pursuit more than the consummation. Most women instinctively sensed that—like Byron—she was mad, bad, and dangerous to know—particularly if they had husbands at risk of succumbing. During her short span of eight years as a writer, Elinor published four volumes of poetry and four novels, all garnering praise. Many of her works offered insight into the difficulties of marriage and the impossible expectations that come with womanhood. Wylie was lauded for her passionate writing, fueled by ethereal descriptors, historical references, and feminist undertones.

Book excerpt: This novel, set in the third decade of the nineteenth century, concerns an incident in the life of a poet who for twenty years fought passionately for the betterment of mankind.

Exhausted emotionally and bruised from the shabby treatment he has received, he finds happiness for one summer in the company of Lady Clara Hunting and her two daughters, Allegra and Penserosa. Unfortunately the materialistic, cold world intervenes in the person of Mr. Hodge. After a sharp, brief clash, Mr. Hazard's summer ends--a summer of delicate and rare perfection against a background of dying hopes and lost causes. But Mr. Hazard has a memory to cherish.

Book excerpt: America’s most provocative intellectual brings her blazing powers of analysis to the most famous poems of the Western tradition—and unearths some previously obscure verses worthy of a place in our canon.

Daring, riveting, and beautifully written, Break, Blow, Burn is a modern classic that excites even seasoned poetry lovers—and continues to create generations of new ones.
