Reviews

[Gilbert Wesley Purdy]

A collection of short critical bios of modern American poets. Each poet receives 10-32 pages of coverage. Well written throughout. It is surprising how well Howard selects his material.

[Dom Zuccone]

If one wishes to have an understanding of poetry in the twenty year period it reinvented itself into many poetries, or have a vision into a brilliant sophisticated reader. This is a wonderful reference. You can read the Times Book Review to appear clever, or you can read Richard Howard and learn to be literate.
