[EAN: 9780307269676], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Alfred A. Knopf], Throughout the history of literature there has existed a fascinating desire for discussion among writers, readers, and teachers. With this being especially true for the poetic form, one woman, Pearl London, instituted a forum for such conversations at New York's New School in 1970. In 'Poetry in Person,' author and editor Alexander Neubauer collects a remarkable array of conversations between London and many of America's most noteable poets which range in topic from the creative process to the earlist drafts of many major works. With the insights of such giants as Pinsky, Hirsch, Muldoon, Hacker, Gluck, Simic, and more, this collection is invaluable in scope. With a postscript by Robert Polito., Books<
