"Long out-of-print in its original edition, Stephen Dunn's Walking Light is reintroduced here with five new essays. Together, they are essential readings for today's poet. Dunn discusses the roles of imagination, sport, spirituality, truth, love, and restraint in writing poems. And, in some of the book's most poignant essays, he remembers his childhood and teen years in New York City, his gambling father, his run-ins with gangs, his development as an athlete, and other experiences that claim influence on the character and art of one of America's finest and most respected poets."--BOOK JACKET.
