內容簡介: |
Edward Hirsch began writing a column called "Poet''s Choice" in
the Washington Post Book World in 2002. This book brings together
those enormously popular columns, some of which have been revised
and expanded, to present a minicourse in world poetry. Poet''s
Choice includes the work of more than one hundred poets from
ancient times to the present--among them Sappho, W. B. Yeats,
Czeslaw Milosz, Primo Levi, Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, Amy Lowell,
Mark Strand, and many more--and shares them with all of Hirsch''s
inimitable enthusiasm and joy. Rich, relevant, and inviting, the
book offers us the fruits of a life lived in poetry.
