Description:
New York: Farrar , Straus and Giroux, 1998. First American Edition. Hardcover. A fine copy/a fine dust jacket. Twelve critical essays. The poet scritinizes the work of several poets, British and Irish, American and European. His subjects exemplify a devotion to the art of poetry that is complicated by their recognition of poetry's apparent indifference or ineffectuality in a world where suffering and injustice are prevalent. The artist fulfilled by the achievement of pure form may well be haunted by a feeling of betraying the beggar at the gate. 170pp.
