Twentieth Century Pleasures: Prose on Poetry

Thank you for a textbook that was clean and in excellent condition!

yes

part of what makes this book so wonderful is the way hass captures his love of poetry in prose that is warm and consistently interesting and inviting, which is a big difference from most essays on poems coming out these days, which are long on ideas and short on awe. excellent and heartfelt.
