A review by waxbiplane
My Poets by Maureen N. McLane

3.0

It is very hard to translate passion into words, what with it being entirely irrational. That said, McLane gave it a hell of a go. Enjoyable and compelling, at least until the final entry about Shelley which got muddled. An interesting mix of criticism and memoir and a blow-by-blow working through of poems by an obviously hell-of-intelligent reader and writer. 3.5 stars, but i don't think i need to own it.

(Personally, i think the section on Marianne Moore is the most interesting.)
