<P style="MARGIN: 0px">The smallest and most economical member of the Kennedy/Gioia family, <I>Backpack Literature </I>is a brief paperback version of the discipline's most popular introduction to literature anthology. Like its bigger, bestselling predecessors, <I>Backpack Literature </I>features the authors' collective poetic voice which brings personal warmth and a human perspective to the discussion of literature, adding to students' interest in the readings.   New selections have been added including four new one-act plays to help “ease” students into the study of this genre. The new plays include two comedies-- David Ives’s, <I>Sure Thing</I> and Jane Martin’s <I>Beauty</I>—as well as Terrence McNally’s poignant <I>Andre’s Mother</I> and  Edward Bok Lee’s experimental drama <I>El Santo Americano.</I>  </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P>
