review 1: I can't recommend this highly enough. As much as what Hass writes about how he writes is fascinating. His essay on Howl is written in the voice of a beat poet. His insights & observations are acute, refreshing. Read this book! Re-read it! Write in the margins, underline. Carry it around, read it in a cafe and keep it on the table as you begin writing a poem while watching the afternoon light turn to an amber glow.
review 2: I've never read any of Hass's prose before, but I picked up this book at the library because of his brilliant poetry. The pros is equally insightful, lyrical and worldly. It was difficult for me to finish, which is not surprising given that the writings in this collection were not originally intended for reading all at once, but there's a ... moretopical cohesiveness in the order of the pieces that I appreciated. less
