What’s the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently?
Not recently, but when I began writing poetry the two poets who taught and influenced me the most were Ezra Pound and Robert Lowell.
Right now: Yukio Mishima’s book “Patriotism,” a silly piece of work; “The Collected Poems of Delmore Schwartz”; the essays of Frank Kermode.
Have you ever gotten in trouble for reading a book?
I remember very much enjoying Maurice Girodias’s banned books in Paris that included Henry Miller and other distinguished authors.
