Moving targets

Stephen Kessler

"Essayist for more than thirty years in Northern California's liveliest periodicals, Stephen Kessler presents a selection of his deeply informed and informative writings on poets, poetry, and translation. Rooted in the literary culture of the West Coast and radiating outward across the United States to Latin America and beyond, Kessler's clear and revealing vision in Moving Targets speaks to both the knowledgeable and the newcomer. His concluding essays on the art of translation, "antiwarism," radio as a poetic medium, and inspiration also offer provocative insights into the process of writing, reading, and appreciating poetry."--Jacket.
