PATERSON,
FIVE
W. C. WILLIAMS
NEW DIRECTIONS
Originally believed completed with the fourth book, William Carlos
Williams's poem,
Paterson,
is already considered by many critics to
be one of the most important long poems written in the 20th century.
The whole work is Dr. Williams's personal testament, the summing
up in imaginative form of all that he has found in modern life. This
new book,
Paterson, Five,
continues and grows out of Books 1-4.
Writing in
The Nation,
M. L. Rosenthal says: "I see no diminution
of the characteristic skill and excitement, . . . rather a mellowing
without loss of
energy-Paterson's
'roar of the present' removed just
enough to give the poem another, a much needed dimension." August,
$3.00.

CONFESSIONS
OF A MASK
YUKIO MISHIMA
Translated
by

An
extraordinary and sometimes shocking novel by Yukio Mishima,

already known in this country for his
Five Modern No Plays
and
The Sound of Waves.
Brilliantly translated by Meredith Weatherby,
the book is a moving study of a young man who is born "different."
He hides his true personality behind a mask like a clown. August,
