In this engrossing collection of essays, Rachel Hadas describes a life immersed in the mind, a life of books and of history: "A mind is like that, too. Books and attention, books as attention, conversation, books as conversation--endless attention and attentiveness are required." Hadas ranges widely in her subjects, exploring autobiography, poetry ancient and contemporary, the craft of writing, and the discipline of criticism.

Multiformalisms: Postmodern Poetics of Form explores new directions in poetic form and theory. The “multi” in “multiformalisms” is nothing if not multifarious. This collection of essays by important poets and critics investigates traditional and exploratory forms, as well as the ways cultures and histories have come to shape them. Multiformalisms juxtaposes essays on traditional formalism and flarf; the American long poem and native Hawaiian poetry; rhyme in Paul Muldoon and textual variability in New Media poetry; Susan Howe and Lucinda Roy, jazz and Asian American poetics, and more. Scholars and students of poetry, prosody, and culture will find this a necessary and lively reference to contemporary currents in their fields.
