The Light Within the Light: Portraits of Donald Hall, Richard Wilbur, Maxine Kumin, and Stanley Kunitz

Each poet-profile in  The Light Within the Light  is based on intimate personal interviews and explores the landscapes, lives, and artistic achievements of the poet. Several poems are woven into each essay, allowing the reader to experience the poet’s world in his or her own words. Since the paths of the four poets cross frequently, the essays “converse” with one another, layering the narrative.
