Riassunto:

In Poets Speaking to Poets: Echoes and Tributes, Nicholas Fargnoli and Robert Hamblin have compiled a stunning anthology of contemporary American poetry that hosts the ghosts of poets past and present—from Dante to Donne to Dickinson to Dylan. The poets represented in this spirited collection respond to the likes of a rhapsodic Walt Whitman or confessional Anne Sexton or unbridled Leonard Cohen or the ancient Anyte of Tegea sometimes with nostalgia, sometimes with homage, sometimes with irony or even ridicule, but always with insight and artistry. Together, the “echoes” in this illuminative volume afford the reader a vision of modern America that is as various as its rural landscapes and city skylines, its pastoral dreams and gothic chills, its high hopes and harsh realities. They attest, too, to the vital state of the poetic arts in America today.
