Description: Stealing Glimpses: Of Poetry, Poets, and Things in Between, Essays By Molly McQuade Sarabande Books Louisville, Kentucky 1999 viii, 211, [2] p.; 23 cm. (9 inches). Paperback with glossy, color illustrated dust jacket. Includes a brief bio of the author. First Trade Paperback Edition "In the contemporary poetry world, a distinction may be drawn between the art and the biz. An editor and journalist as well as a poet, Molly McQuade writes interestingly about both. In 'Stealing Glimpses,' a collection of miscellaneous essays, profiles and reviews, she observes with equal aplomb these two sides of what is ultimately the same currency. Recent poetry sales, we learn, have climbed as much as 30 percent in megastores like Barnes & Noble, while, according to Forbes, the poet Maya Angelou can command $4.3 million annually at $30,000 per reading. There are also interviews on the art of poetry with William Matthews, Galway Kinnell, Adrienne Rich and Charles Simic, among others. Splendid portraits of the editors Harriet Monroe and Margaret Anderson briefly rehearse the vital histories of Poetry magazine and The Little Review during the golden age of modernism. In a more fanciful register, ruminations on a childhood goat and a spider's web as metaphors for poetry serve as the book's connective tissue" [excerpt from a review in The New York Times, July 4, 1999, by David Yezzi]. In all, there are 27 essays in the book. ISBN: 1-889330-26-4 Book is in New Condition: unread and unmarked.
