Description
This Dialogue of One collects thirteen essays on English, French and American poets by one of the eras most engaging and highly esteemed poet-critics.

Witty, astute and wide-ranging, Ford demonstrates his formidable gifts as a close reader of poetry, whether exploring canonical works by the likes of Whitman, Dickinson, Baudelaire and T.S.
