Book Description
The long-awaited fourth collection by one of America's foremost poets O Lord of indirection and ellipses, ignore our prayers. Deliver us from distraction. Slow our heartbeat to a cricket's call. --from "Prophecy" Pity the Beautiful is Dana Gioia's first new poetry book in over a decade. Its emotional revelations and careful construction are hard won, inventive, and resilient. These new poems show Gioia's craftsmanship at its finest, its most mature, as they make music, crack wise, remember the dead, and in a long, central poem even tell ghost stories.

Book Description
When the real Puck appears after a bad rehearsal of a high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, his mischief only makes matters worse. As he meddles with a production filled with drama divas, an over-the-top director, terrible actors, and the cast and crew's own scrapes with unrequited love, chaos descends. Identities are mistaken, spells are cast, and an actor gets transformed into a pygmy hippo -- yet somehow, in true theater fashion, the show manages to go on.
