Subscribe to The Sharpener
The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes weekly installments of craft pieces, approaches to writing problems, topics in contemporary publishing for writers, and biographical features on poets I consider important.
More curiosity than admiration, especially
because of Auden's comment. I usually enjoy your selections but it isn't necessary that I enjoy a poem for it to excite my interest.
Can you recommend a single volume of John Ashbury? Not the collected or complete.
