"Andy Kuhn's questions become conversations that, one by one, deeply engage and enlighten. With major poets so forthright about their craft, you'll wish you were in the room. At the very least keep How a Poem Can Happen close at hand. It's simply a gem of a book." ---Alexander Neubauer, author of Poetry in Person: 25 Years of Conversation with America's Poets (Knopf, 2010)
"While asking (and answering) questions about process, influences and the writerly life may seem easy, it's really about letting the conversation go toward the unexpected, the uncharted. These interviews give us insight into one of the most difficult jobs to describe: the poetic mind and its workings. And Kuhn has just the right touch-after reading, we readers receive "the poet" as an even more human, and humane, artist." ---Sophie Cabot Black, author of The Exchange: Poems (Greywolf, 2013)
These poets include three Poet Laureates of the United States--Billy Collins, Robert Pinsky, Kay Ryan--and many other distinguished authors of multiple award-winning collections, like Paul Muldoon, Alan Shapiro, Ellen Bass. (See the full list below).
