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 Mc Pherson, 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.
