In this engrossing collection of essays, Rachel Hadas describes a life immersed in the mind, a life of books and of history: "A mind is like that, too. Books and attention, books as attention, conversation, books as conversation--endless attention and attentiveness are required." Hadas ranges widely in her subjects, exploring autobiography, poetry ancient and contemporary, the craft of writing, and the discipline of criticism.
