Synopsis
"During the last five years of his life MacLeish participated in this series of interviews tracing his career as a poet, Librarian of Congress, statesman, and man of letters. He speaks candidly of his student years, his 'expatriate period' in Paris, and his subsequent writing and teaching. The editor/interviewers have wisely asked only brief, perceptive questions, leaving the spotlight on the poet. His language is colloquial, and the range of his writing experience, and acquaintances should prove fascinating to readers."―Library Journal

Review
"A gifted writer's purely spoken autobiography....In this genial, relaxed book we have a golden view of the candidly retrospective statesman-poet in his old age as he really was."―
"This enchanting book preserves the voices of one of the distinguished and versatile Americans of the century in a fascinating variety of moods and memories."―
"MacLeish comes across as meticulous about the truth, outspoken, and delightful.... An authorized biography is in the works, but it would be difficult to equal, let alone top, the reflections in this intelligent, family-oriented, conscientious poet."―
