Book excerpt: "For almost twenty years, from the publication of his seminal and highly influential collection of poems Hush to the appearance of the stunning Study for the World's Body: New and Selected Poems, David St. John has been considered one of the most accomplished and innovative of all American poets. Here, for the first time, David St. John has selected from essays and reviews written over the course of his career--about many of the major figures of our time: W. S. Merwin, Philip Levine, Mark Strand, Charles Wright, Donald Hall, Marvin Bell, Donald Justice, Jorie Graham, and dozens of others--and brought them together with six uncompromising and refreshingly candid interviews about the craft of poetry and the state of poetry today. Always passionate about the poets he loves and always provocative in his poetic judgements, David St. John has given us a lucid and exciting volume of prose that all readers of poetry can turn to for both pleasure and instruction."-- Back cover.
