SynopsisIf you were stranded on some far slope of Parnassus and could bring only one book to map the landscape, H.L. Hix's As Easy As Lying would be a good choice. Accessible, erudite, and ebullient, these essays delve into the workings of the poetic mind and offer incisive assessments of contemporary American poets and poetics. Hix not only maps the landscape, he reshapes it., Accessible, erudite, and ebullient, these essays delve into the workings of the poetic mind and offer incisive assessments of contemporary American poets and poetics. Hix not only maps the landscape, he reshapes it: taking on nabobs like John Ashbery ("Every age adores a few poets in whose work posterity maintains no interest"), presenting such disparate figures as Charles Bernstein and Dana Gioia in new light, and discovering the missing link between New Formalism and the postmodern. As Easy As Lying is the best book on modern American poetry since Robert Hass's Twentieth Century Pleasures. H. L. Hix's poetry books have won the Peregrine Smith Award and the T. S. Eliot Prize. He has also won a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He is Vice President for Academic Affairs at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Book jacket.
