Their Ancient Glittering Eyes: Remembering Poets and More Poets

Rating:
Summary: Five Stars Not Enough
Review: The fact that this book is out of print is one of the great travesties in American publishing. Donal Hall is perhaps the last living connection we have to the golden era of early 20th century poetry. Here you will find firsthand accounts of his contact with giants like TS Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Ezra Pound, Robert Frost, and Yvor Winters.

Hall's prose is so delightfully engaging, and these profiles go far beyond literary namedropping. In fact, [Remembering Poets] should be required reading for any graduate or post-graduate English scholar. Of all of this writer's many accomplishments, this book certainly ranks near the top.
