Book Overview
The Poet's Notebook brings together excerpts from the working notebooks of twenty-six American poets. Unsystematic, spontaneous, irreverent, intense, witty, unexpected, these notebooks shimmer with reflections, speculations, confessions, quotations, impressions, and ruminations. They create a portrait of the artist as a purposeful gatherer and sifter of every kind of experience.
Included are the notebooks from such distinguished and eclectic voices as Rita Dove, Stephen Dunn, Carolyn Forch?, Donald Hall, Garrett Hongo, Joy Harjo, Donald Justice, Yusef Komunyakaa, James Merrill, Mary Oliver, Charles Simic, and William Stafford.

This is a great book for any writer, or anyone interested in the craft and process of writing. Not just poetry, there's a lot of prose, too. The seller sent it relatively promptly, and I've had nothing but pleasure from the book. It's in great shape, and fits perfect in my backpack. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the art of writing.
WIT AND INSIGHT!
