Intellectual Things de Stanley Kunitz
Heavy Blakean influence and rather like Dylan Thomas without that sense of madness in the vision of either. Obsession with the relation of soul and body throughout the collection. Strong formal skills, subtle rhyme and assonance, as well as a rare ability to use couplets so as not to render the verbal equivalent of riding a seesaw.

Living Authors de Dilly Tante
There are 466 pages in this book. I’ve had it for years and have read it multiple times. It’s short biographies about authors that were still alive in January of 1931. It’s interesting to read about authors that are well-known and authors that aren’t. The book brings them to life because it isn’t just about what books they’ve written, but also what they’re like as people.

The Wild Braid: A Poet Reflects on a Century in the… de Stanley Kunitz
I think that I could pick this up every year. Engaging story of the poet, his craft, his garden, and his poems.
