Beskrivning
The venture of this inviting collection is to look, from the many vantages that the 35 poets in this eclectic anthology chose to look, at what it was—knowing that a poem can’t be conceived in advance of its creation—that helped their poems to emerge or connected them over time. The Rag-Picker's Guide to Poetry permits an inside view of how poets outwit internal censors and habits of thought, showing how the meticulous and the spontaneous come together in the process of discovery. Within are contained the work and thoughts of:Betty AdcockJoan AleshireDebra AllberyElizabeth ArnoldDavid BakerRick BarotMarianne BoruchKaren BrennanGabrielle CalvocoressiMichael CollierCarl DennisStuart DischellRoger FanningChris ForhanReginald GibbonsLinda GregersonJennifer GrotzBrooks HaxtonTony HoaglandMark JarmanA.

Recensioner i media

An anthology can be many books in one. I must admit that I have sometimes found anthologies breathlessly unsatisfying. But I was absorbed until the very end of the two hundred and twelve pages of the engagingly named Rag-Picker's Guide to Poetry. All of the thirty-five featured poets have held residencies at Warren Wilson College 'in the mountains of North Carolina'. As a British reader with an interest in North American poetry, I found some familiar and many fresh names... The Rag-Picker's Guide to Poetry is a capacious anthology, starred with insights into writing - and some very practical help. It made me want to read. It also made me want to write, and to think harder about the kind of books I want to make.
