Book Description: Almost every year since 1979, FIELD magazine has celebrated the work of a major modern poet in a unique symposium: a number of current poets are invited to choose favorite poems by the featured poet and explore them in short essays. The results have become one of the most popular features of the magazine: passionate, insightful, and often provocative, the FIELD symposia reassert poetry as a living art, charged with immediacy and excitement. Poets Reading assembles the first eighteen symposia, on Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, Eugenio Montale, Robert Francis, Pablo Neruda, Theodore Roethke, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Hayden, Randall Jarrell, William Stafford, Miroslav Holub, and W. S. Merwin. The list of contributors is a virtual Who's Who of contemporary poetry, including Margaret Atwood, Robert Bly, Marianne Boruch, Donald Hall, Donald Justice, Yusef Komunyakaa, Thomas Lux, William Matthews, Sandra McPherson, Stanley Plumly, Charles Simic, Marcia Southwick, Gerald Stern, Lee Upton, Jean Valentine, Richard Wilbur, Nancy Willard, and Charles Wright. This collection is a thoughtful exploration of the poetic legacy of the twentieth century, and a rich testimonial to the continuing vitality of poetry today.
