Description: Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. "We sit in our rooms. We write. We try to read. It begins to grow dark. We switch on the light. We wait for the world to come to us. Or, we don't. We start asking ourselves questions. Others arrive unbidden. One of the questions: what kind of jobs do we, should we, as poets, end up with while we do our real job?" --Amazon.com
Notes: "In these three critical essays Michael Gottlieb addresses issues faced by us all, even if we are not poets or artists. ... he asks: what kind of work do we find ourselves doing while we try to do our real work?"--Back cover.
