Literary Nonfiction. Poetry. Art. Ron Padgett writes: "Bill Berkson's writing is witty, musical, daily, and deep, underpinned by a bracing integrity and shot through with gorgeous abstraction and other brilliant hookups between eye, ear, mind, and heart." In this stunning collection of lectures spanning twenty-five years, Berkson addresses subjects as various as Walt Whitman, Frank O'Hara, Philip Guston, Dante, and the sublime.
