《里尔克诗选》收入的《杜依诺哀歌》和《献给俄耳甫斯的十四行诗》是里尔克晚年呕心沥血的杰作，也是20世纪诗歌的重要里程碑。

本书是国内第一部兰波作品的全集，收录了他从17岁到19岁的作品，有诗作以及日记、书信。因而这是一个更为全面和深入地了解兰波的文本。读者在评赏诗人那犹如缤纷幻影的诗作的同时，还将看到放弃文学之后的另一个兰波：孤独、贫困、奔波于丛林大漠之中，索然无味地生活，忍受热带瘴疠所致疾病的折磨，直至死去。诗人兰波和普通人兰波，文字的通灵人和生活的失败者，都为后人留下了无尽的话题。

This centennial edition of E. E. Cumming's Complete Poems, published in celebration of his birth on October 14, 1894, contains all of the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime.
At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America. Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized on the one hand as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language, and on the other as one of the most inventive American poets of his time—in the worlds of Richard Kostelanetz, "the major American poet of the middle-twentieth-century."

这个集子从各个角度来讲，都是面目一新，独树一帜，出乎人们的意料，顿时引起了社会各界人士的倾注。某些人认为这个怪物般的诗集是伤风败俗和亵读神明的。波德莱尔因此吃了一场官司，诗集不仅被禁，而且诗人和出版商都被罚了款。可是当时正流放在英法海峡间盖尔勒赛岛上的雨果却对此书大加赞扬，说它犹如“光辉夺目的星星”，给法国诗坛带来了“新的颤栗”。雨果的这一论断随着时间的推移。越来越显得正确和公允了。正是这部《恶之花》开创
了法国近代诗歌的新时代，在西方诗坛上留下了不可磨灭的影响。人们也越来越清楚地认识到，这是一部艺术技巧十分高超而思想内容又极其丰富的作品。
