As individuals with their own transpersonal stories, the poets have emerged onto the national stage from very local places with news that witnesses memorably in social, personal, and political ways. They talk about their poems and development as poets self-effacingly, honestly, and insightfully, describing just how and when they were \"hurt into poetry,\" as well as why they have pursued writing poetry as a career in which, as Robert Frost noted in his poem \"Two Tramps in Mud Time,\" their object has become \"to unite [their] avocation and [their] vocation \/ As [their] two eyes make one in sight.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"I Would Lie to You If I Could: Interviews with Ten American Poets | Chard Deniord | Paperback | 9780822965343 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1742895","offer_id":48180170162328,"sku":"1742895","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91oduJaLpbL.jpg?v=1772215809","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/i-would-lie-to-you-if-i-could-interviews-with-ten-american-poets","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
