Treasure trove? A cliched phrase, sure, but that's precisely what this book is. Essays and poems from A-listers like John Updike, Rick Bass, Louise Gluck, Diane Ackerman and Seamus Heaney, to name only a few. My favorite piece here, "The God of the Gaps," is by a writer I wasn't familiar with previously: the profound and learned David Berlinski. Also included, a brand-new translation of Dante's Inferno, Canto I, by Washington University's own Mary Jo Bang.

Letters aren't everyone's cup of tea, but they're mine. This slim volume collects the correspondence between the great Ohio poet, Wright, and the equally great Leslie Marmon Silko. One of the best things I've read this year.

I love Ted Kooser's writing. Whether it's poetry or prose, he's a master of perfect clarity and direct feeling. He's also a Midwesterner who hymns the beauty of our special part of the country. Lights is a brief (60 pages), lovely memoir about his mother's side of the family. Perfection.
