NY: Ticknor & Fields. VG PB. (1992). 1st printing. There is a minor tradition in literature, or at the edges of literature that occasionally finds room for a book like this one . If we admire the poet< it is natural to be curoious about the poet. This curiosity endured New Critical decades when it appeared vulgar to suggest that poems were made by poets. This book records a portion of my own education. I grew up as a poet, for better or worse, among young poets and poets dead for centuries and less from father-teachers Yvor Winters was an exception because he spoke from the eccentric place. I learned from Richard Willbur, a litle, but he was only seven years older. When I grew up - in the suburbs at suburban schools - I heard adults mention one living poet, and only one. Professors might prefer Eliot,young poets might imitate Auden but for the reading public, Rober Frost was the Great Living American poet. His Complete Poems like Longfellow's the century before wedged among popular novels on middle class bookshelves. Everyone knew him and everyone loved him. .
