The Lives Of The Poems And Three Talks by Joshua Beckman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

During 2014, Wave Books editor Joshua Beckman traveled around the country giving lectures on poetry. Collected here as two books in conversation-and inaugurating Wave's Bagley Wright Lecture Series publications-these talks provide a rare and unique insight into a deeply literary life. In The Lives of the Poems, Beckman offers three variations of the same talk that-through repetition and adjustment, a sort of echolocating-illuminate the intimate experience of making a particular set of poems. In Three Talks, he explores the fluid social dynamics of poetry as it lives between readers, poems, and books. | The Lives Of The Poems And Three Talks by Joshua Beckman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
