Wiman's collection is a real broad range and the pieces that resonated were the personal. He has keen insight as a critic, and very specific opinions about poetry, but ultimately I'm not moved by these polemics as artfully as they're delivered. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Ambition and Survival: Becoming a Poet is a collection of stirring personal essays and critical prose on a wide range of subjects: reading Paradise Lost in Guatemala, recalling violent episodes from the poet's youth, traveling in Africa with an eccentric father, as well as a series of penetrating essays on poets, poetry, and poetry's place in our lives. The book concludes with a portrait of Wiman's diagnosis with a rare cancer, and a clear-eyed declaration of what it means - for an artist and a person - to have faith in the face of death. -- BOOK JACKET.
