Strongly recommended reading for college students and intermediate to advanced poetry scholars
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Interview With A Ghost is not a collection of poetry per se, but rather a collection of essays by poet and teacher Tom Sleigh about the nature of poetry itself, as explored with the belief that "while art and life are separable, they aren't separate." Sleigh's writings include "Proteus as Poet", "Against the Text 'Poetry Makes Nothing Happen'", "To the Star Demons" and much more. Exploring the aesthetic and psychological implications of the poetry of a variety of noted authors, including Anne Bradstreet, Sir Walter Raleigh, Robert Lowell, Thom Gunn, Seamus Heaney, and Frank Bidart. A contemplative tour of thought, Interview With A Ghost is strongly recommended reading for college students and intermediate to advanced poetry scholars.
