This Art: A Copper Canyon Ares Poetica Anthology by Michael Wiegers
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 718 kb
Overview: The centuries have changed little in this art,
The subjects are still the same.—Kenneth Rexroth
Why poetry? What is poetry and why do people write it and read it? Why, as Dana Levin has written, “this urge to making a scrapbook of stars”?
Every poet, by accident or design, has responded to “Why poetry” by writing a poem about poetry (an ars poetica). Whether these poems focus on the personal, political, or philosophical, each recognizes that our world is more complicated than a direct statement.
As Marvin Bell has written, “Writing is all and everything.” This anthology of poems about the art and life of poetry—which draws widely from Copper Canyon’s 30-year backlist of poetry books—proves him right.
