Recensione: "Anthony Hecht in Conversation has the frankness and summative qualities of the best memoirs, and extends well beyond the boundaries of the average magazine interview ..." [T]"the questions are those of a canny and caring reader of the poetry, and the book comes across with the ease of a conversation " "an unusual one, true " " but still with the turn of talk. For this seamlessness and for the labour of the bibliography we should be grateful. And it is Hoy who raises the anecdote of the early morning taxi ride to an airport, in which Hecht, to amuse James Wright, intoned from memory all of Lycidas " " in the voice of W.C. Fields! As the excellent Between The Lines series continues ... we can look forward to "fresh woods" (pause) and "pastures new". "<>br David Latane,<>i Stand

" Until I read Philip Hoy s remarkably detailed interview, I thought I d understood Anthony Hecht and his work. But now we re allowed an unprecedented intimacy. Not only is this an illuminating self-portrait by one of our great poets, but it also stands as a rare glimpse inside the poetic mind at work a mind surprisingly vulnerable, supremely intelligent and humane. "
J. D. McClatchy, The Yale Review

" Disciplined, scrupulous, self-searching ... The studied, protracted conduct of [his] conversation allows Hecht to formulate his responses with great care and to quote at length from his poems and the writings of others, making his interview a full-scale apologia pro vita sua.'"
--Patrick Crotty, <>iTimes Literary Supplement
