Publisher Marketing: A collection of John Heath-Stubbs's major literary essays. The earliest essay was written in 1945, and each piece reveals the insights of a practitioner in the poetic genre. In engaging his chosen writers, Heath-Stubbs employs his understanding of the poetic process.
Spanning half a century, these erudite, witty and considered pieces combine the insights of a substantial practitioner in all the poetic genre with the broad learning of a scholar-critic.
