A reader-friendly miscellany of essays, appreciations, reviews, and conversations, published in newspapers and literary magazines over the past ten years, these are pieces that will resonate equally with the lay poetry lover and the specialist. This collection explores all aspects of a life in poetry: reading it, writing it, teaching it, editing it, publishing it, reviewing it.
Industry Reviews
"Like a good dance partner, Sarah's engagement with poetry is attentive, considered, and at its best downright inspiring."—Brenda Cockfield
"Sarah's own prose is immensely readable. She approaches each of her topics with a certain unknowingness but a great deal of concern about the question. We get to see, not preconceived ideas, but a mind at work."—New Quarterly
"An admirable blend of honesty, discrimination, and firmness. Here is a critic with standards, not afraid of revealing subjective responses."—W.J. Keith
