Gone Country Portraits of Country Music's New Stars - Click here for more info

Rubenstein has returned to today's Nashville to document a new crop of trendsetters and tunesmiths. She has revisited some favorite folk - pulling a Mount Rushmore-like gaze from Johnny Cash and catching a gun-totin' Hank Williams, Jr. on his way to the hunt - but has primarily focused on new faces. She has applied her special vision to portray these stars in a new light: Martina McBride playing peekaboo with her own image; a very sexy Tanya Tucker outrageously posing; the new old-timers, BR5-49, making their debut as the ultimate bar band; LeAnn Rhimes in both playful and come-hither moods; Sawyer Brown reflecting on their own image; Mark Chesnutt blowing bubbles; Wynonna posing as a silent-film goddess; Emmylou Harris caught in a net...every image unique, every memorable, every definitive. The book is introduced by Billboard's Nashville correspondent and noted music authority Chet Flippo, who places Rubenstein's photographs and the music itself in a historical context. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New - Item: 460670589 - Gone Country Portraits of Country Music's New Stars

The Oxford Book of Short Poems

Memorable, witty, bawdy, profound--the short poem observes no limits except those of length. They can range from subjects as diverse as a child's first words, a woman's feet, or human destiny. The verses within this collection vary greatly in theme, style, and tone, but in every case, brevity reveals the poets at their best, both as individual artists and as exemplars of their times. The short poem is often overlooked in verse collections, where poets tend to be represented by their Longer, more sustained work. Defining 'short' as any poem of under fourteen lines, P. J. Kavanagh and James Michie have chosen those poems they consider to be the best in the English language, from medieval times to the present day. Their selection extends from Chaucer to Philip Larkin, from Shakespeare to Emily Bronte, from Blake to Edith Sitwell, and from Yeats to Emily Dickinson, demonstrating the gradual changes in style, subject-matter, and tone from one generation of poets to the next. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461662549 - The Oxford Book of Short Poems
