- Frank Bidart’s services to Robert Lowell have been many —
- Sieving her lines into ever-firmer leanness from collection to collection, she offsets any austerity by the sensuousness of her music —
- Kurt Vonnegut: In his own words —
- Australian poet says book of letters is like theft —
- Prolific poet says translation is a ‘labor of love’ —
- Wordsworth Poem Honored with a Rap Makeover —
ouch.
