Review
"Here [is] theproseofan intelligent man who wishes to served poetry--not appropriate it or crow over it or show off as its expense--and this is a rare enough experience to arouse gratitude and admiration." -- "Times Literary Supplement"Not just professional acumen but a truly personal commitment to this subjects enlivens these enthusiastic, stylish, consistetly interesting, even compelling examinations.... As a demonstration of the critic's craft, this collection is, both in substance and style, an examplary volume." -- "Booklist""[Hass'] final intention is not merely to judge but to give a picture of the writer's mind.... Mr. Hass believes that poetry is what defines the self, and it is his ability to describe that process that is the heart of this book's pleasure."-- "New York Times Book Review"
