Winner of the National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, C K Williams is one of the most distinguished poets of his generation. This book collects his prose along with a series of interview excerpts in which he discusses a wide range of subjects, from his own work as a poet and translator to the state of American poetry as a whole.

Trade Review
"Williams is a poet of imaginative composure amid real-world disarray. His fastidious, refined heart camps in the middle of the worldly misery that minimizes its claims." (Dan Chiasson, New York Times) "Williams seems to me to fulfill, triumphantly, the big demands he places on himself. Reading his poems, you sense their considerable formal beauty, yet you also hear something more: a voice that has become a representative consciousness." (Peter Campion, Boston Globe)"
