The private lives of strangers can be fascinating, as these tales
reveal. In them, the strangers are all passengers on the No 13 bus
leaving Oxford Station at 1.15pm on a summer's day, arriving some
40 minutes later at the John Radcliffe Hospital. During their
journey more passengers get on and others get off and they rarely
interact. But behind each inscrutable facade are the joys and fears
of complex private worlds and private thoughts. This is a book to
dip into. It will, of course, help pass the time on a bus journey
or even in hospital but it is intended to give pleasure to anyone
who enjoys reading about other people and lives which may be
exciting, sad or just plain different. All proceeds from the book's
sale are being donated to the Hidden Heroes Fund of the Oxford
Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds which supports staff
recognition, development and training across all the Trust's
hospitals.

Poetry has always been at the heart of Farrar, Straus and Giroux's
identity, ever since Robert Giroux first brought T. S. Eliot to the
company. FSG's personality and literary profile have been defined
by both the poets and the prose writers who have made it an imprint
with a unique place in American letters. The FSG Poetry Anthology
includes work by every one of the more than one hundred poets FSG
has published in its seventy-five-year history. Robert Lowell,
Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, and Randall Jarrell were central
to the first generation of those poets, followed by the
international figures and Nobel laureates Nelly Sachs, Seamus
Heaney, Joseph Brodsky, and Derek Walcott. Over time the list
expanded to include James Schuyler, John Ashbery, C. K. Williams,
Charles Wright, Yusef Komunyakaa, Grace Paley, Gjertrud
Schnackenberg, Yehuda Amichai, Paul Valery, Marianne Moore, Mina
Loy, Ted Hughes, and Adam Zagajewski. Today Carl Phillips, Maureen
N. McLane, Ange Mlinko, Ishion Hutchinson, Rowan Ricardo Phillips,
Frederick Seidel, Henri Cole, francine j. harris, and Valzhyna Mort
are among the poets who continue FSG's tradition as a premier
discoverer and promoter of the most vital and distinguished
contemporary poetic voices. Poetry and prose are two indissoluble
sides of the same coin. This anthology offers a unique perspective
on the best of contemporary literature over the past three
generations. FSG president and long-time poetry editor Jonathan
Galassi contributes a lively history of the role of poetry in the
publishing house.
