Wild and Whirling Words A Poetic Conversation

How do poets really think about each other's work? In search of an answer, H.L. Hix invited thirty-three of America's finest and most influential poets, representing diverse backgrounds and approaches, to engage in a conversation. Each volunteered an original poem, which Hix circulated anonymously among six of the other poets. The poems and responses progressed from poet to poet--unfolding, complicating, and sending up sparks of insight, of opinion, of disagreement.--Etruscan Press.
