A FIELD Guide to Contemporary Poetry and Poetics: Revised Edition (Field Editions) - Softcover

"An illuminating and inspiring guide to poetry, not simply as an art form, but also as a way of life."

One of the hallmarks of FIELD magazine has always been its attention to what poets have to say about poetry. Many of these essays--by William Stafford, Denise Levertov, Gary Snyder, Adrienne Rich, Donald Hall, Robert Bly, and Sandra McPherson, among others--have become classics. This revised and expanded collection of essays from the magazine provides a rich and stimulating perspective on the state of contemporary poetry, as seen through the eyes of the poets themselves.
