Straw for the fire
"Theodore Roethke died in 1963, leaving behind 277 spiral notebooks filled with poetry fragments, aphorisms, jokes, memos, journal entries, random phrases, bits of dialogue, quotes from other writers, commentary, and fugitive miscellany. Within these notebooks the Pulitzer prize-winner allowed his mind to rove freely, to play, plan, and experiment while moving from the practical to the transcendental, from the halting to the sublime. His friend, [fellow poet, and colleague] David Wagoner chose just twelve of these notebooks and distilled them into an energetic, wise, and rollicking collection that shows Roethke to be a truly phenomenal creative source in American poetry."--Back cover.

On the poet and his craft
Overview: "One of the virtues of good poetry is the fact that it irritates the mediocre." Theodore Roethke was one of the most famous and outspoken poets and poetry teachers this country has ever known. In this volume of selected prose, Roethke articulates his commitments to imaginative possibilities, offers tender advice to young writers, and zings darts at stuffed shirts, lightweights and fools.
