  Devoted mainly to aspects of American literature, from Walt Whitman to the contemporary voices of Allen Ginsberg and August Kleinsahler, these essays by the poet Thom Gunn range from figures as diverse as Marianne Moore and Mina Loy, the modernist T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and Basil Bunting, and the West Coast writers Robert Duncan and Jack Sharpless. The book also includes personal memoirs of Christopher Isherwood and Yvor Winters, and a discussion between Gunn and Jim Powell, himself the subject of an earlier review.
