Poetry is…wait for it…
Book review:
How to Read a Poem
and Fall in Love with Poetry
by Edward Hirsch
New York: A DoubleTakeBook, Harcourt Brace and Co., 1999
354 pages
How to Read a Poem is a many-splendored reference work for poets.
Try to forget that Hirsch is a bit lazy and ends up saying that poetry is everything.
Many of his short essays are luscious.
