Industry Reviews "Few writers are as versatile or prolific as Stephen Dobyns...[These] vivid, ruminative essays...distill nearly three decades of discipline in the two arts he views as temperamental opposites....The liveliest passages involve his informed, resonant readings of contemporary poems, and the concluding chapters on personal exemplars...prompt an emotional, often darker counterpoint to his discussions of craft." New York Times Book Review - Robert Polito (06/09/1996)
