A Sheaf of Leaves

Sheaf of Leaves: Literary Memoirs by Lewis Turco "If you want to know what it has meant --- and has felt like --- to have been an American poet during the past half century, you could not do better than to begin with Lewis Turco's memoirs. Even Whitman, from whom Turco takes his title, comes in for a severe re-evaluation, and many figures living and even dead will doubtless wince under the scrutiny of Turco's clear eye." --- R. S. Gwynn
