After Confession: Poetry as Autobiography
Louise Gluck, Yusef Komunyakaa, Claudia Rankine, Frank Bidart, U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins and 25 others explore verse that takes the poet's own life as its subject in After Confession: Poetry As Autobiography, edited by the Wisconsin-based poets David Graham (Stutter Monk) and Kate Sontag. Poems and (mostly) essays, new and (mostly) reprinted from journals or books, consider such poetry's heritage, and its powers.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
