Title: Stealing Glimpses: Of Poetry, Poets, and Things in Between / Essays
Author: Molly McQuade
ISBN: 9781889330266
Publisher: Sarabande Books
Published: 1999
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Edition: 1
Condition Note: Clean, unmarked copy with some edge wear. Good binding. Dust jacket included if issued with one. We ship in recyclable American-made mailers. 100% money-back guarantee on all orders.
Publisher Description: In her first collection of essays, McQuade considers poetry from its composition or translation to its publication, critical reception, and consumption. Both historically informed and hip, she considers the community that literature represents: its friendships, influences, and oppositions. She dares to define the subject of poetry, itself, as pleasure. "Poetry, " she ventures, "doesn't need to be literary." Her thoughts on the genre are enriched by discussions of distinctly nonverbal poetic expression as well, such as painting and dance.

These essays feature McQuade's characteristic expertise as a well-known reviewer, editor, and poet who is fueled by a passionate interest in ideas and an irrepressible ambivalence.
