Areas Lights Heights: Writings 1954-1989

Literary Nonfiction. "Live thinking--rather than 'theory'--about poetry & prose & living & dying, often starting from or turning into poetry as easily as rivers & puddles become clouds become rain. Short pieces full of unexpected sparks & takes. Essays, letters, reviews, apercus--starting from anywhere at hand (often with 'input' from 'media'), ending somewhere we're surprised to get to. Too much fun to call criticsm-or the best kind. A pleasure to live with"--Jackson Mac Low.
