Interview with Rachel Hadas

Check out Contemporary Poetry Review’s interview with poet Rachel Hadas, which explores the role of poet-critics (“Inevitable task? Obligation?…I think I probably felt fairly early on that reviewing teaches you what you really think about a writer; that I had as much of a right to write about poetry as other young poets did…”) and the “health” of poetry as art (“This question seems to invite a kind of pontificating I’d rather avoid.” – ah, but she doesn’t).
