The Art of Collecting Poetry

This book is truly a love-service of noteworthy magnitude. To memorize hundreds of poems and then arrange them into sequences, creating gems of intertextuality, and then to go out into the world and offer this as an example of the newest form of an ancient practice, to get up in front of people and recite... well, it is a scary yet enormously rewarding thing to do. On either side of the equation, this can result in truly bringing the poetry to life in your life. It's like, if you have a relationship with poetry, this is how to deepen that love affair, obviously, slowly over time, even clandestinely... how can that be? Read this book and find out!
