Synopsis
If you were stranded on some far slope of Parnassus and could bring only one book to map the landscape, H.L. Hix’s As Easy As Lying would be a good choice. Accessible, erudite, and ebullient, these essays delve into the workings of the poetic mind and offer incisive assessments of contemporary American poets and poetics. Hix not only maps the landscape, he reshapes it.

About the Author
H. L. Hix teaches at the University of Wyoming. His previous books include Legible Heavens, God Bless, Shadows of Houses, Wild and Whirling Words, and As Easy as Lying. His Chromatic was a finalist for the National Book Award.
From Publishers Weekly
After three volumes of verse and three academic monographs, the formidable H.L. Hix (Surely As Birds Fly) collects his polished, earnest prose about poetry in As Easy As Lying. Hix admonishes fans of one kind of poetry to try and read all the others, and unpacks refreshing admiration for thinkers (Charles Bernstein, for example) whose tastes and positions seem far from his own. Discussion of how poets think and what young poets should read sit (sometimes uneasily) beside collections of Wittgenstein-esque aphorisms, short takes on new poets' work, and intelligent if now dated essays on the past and future of the New Formalist movement from which Hix's first admirers emerged.
