For the first time, Joni Mitchell, one of the world's most admired and influential singers and songwriters has put together a comprehensive collection of her lyrics and poems. There are songs of innocence and experience, of body and spirit, from the wistful "The Circle Game" and the playful "Big Yellow Taxi" to the mordant "Sex Kills." The Complete Poems and Lyrics includes songs from the album Joni Mitchell, released in 1968, through to 1994's Grammy-winning Turbulent Indigo and her latest album, due to be released in 1998. This remarkable collection offers a new perspective on Joni Mitchell's ability to tell her own generation's story with rare beauty and perception, and to chronicle something of the timeless joy and pain of all our lives.
Sonic Wilderness accesses the critical value of unusual vinyl records that concern our relationship with nature. These wild records reveal unconventional perspectives on the entanglements of human life with animals, gardens and plants. They form a lyrical unconscious exposing the conventions and ideologies of popular music, their warped perspectives and acoustic radioactivity comprising a resistance to enduring social, psychological and political conditions.

In Lyric Tactics, Ingrid Nelson argues that the lyric poetry of later medieval England is a distinct genre defined not by its poetic features—rhyme, meter, and stanza forms—but by its modes of writing and performance, which are ad hoc, improvisatory, and situational.
Joan Ericson's magnificent survey of writing by Japanese women significantly advances the current debate over the literary category of "women's literature" in modern Japan and demonstrates its significance in the life and work of twentieth-century Japan's most important woman writer, Hayashi Fumiko (1903-1951). Until the early 1980s, the literary category of "women's literature" (joryu bungaku) segregated most writing by modern Japanese women from the literary canon. "Women's literature" was viewed as a sentimental and impressionistic literary style that was popular but was critically disparaged. A close scrutiny of Hayashi Fumiko's work--in particular the two pieces masterfully translated here, the immensely popular novel Horoki (Diary of a Vagabond) and Suisen (Narcissus)--shows the inadequacies of categorizing her writing as "women's literature." Its originality and power are rooted in the clarity and immediacy with which Hayashi is able to convey the humanity of those occupying the underside of Japanese society, especially women.
