Poets Dante

If that's not enough, The Poets' Dante: Essays on Dante by Twentieth-Century Poets brings together in one volume many of the most engaging essays on Dante by the (mostly American) poets who have found him inescapable. A brief but excellent introduction by editors Peter S. Hawkins and Rachel Jacoff provides an overview of Dante's influence and reception in the English-speaking world, while the 28 essays are divided into two groups, the great (white male) dead including Pound, Eliot, Auden, Borges and Montale, and the venerable living, including Seamus Heaney, Charles Wright, W.S. Merwin, Robert Pinsky, Geoffrey Hill and C.K. Williams. Feb.
