The Art Of series is a new series of brief books by contemporary writers on important craft issues. Each book investigates an element of the craft of fiction, creative nonfiction, or poetry by discussing works by authors past and present. The books in the Art Of series are not strictly manuals, but serve readers and writers by illuminating aspects of the craft of writing that people think they already know but don't really know. Donald Revell argues passionately for the transformation that imaginative experience elicits through poetry. "The art of poetry is not about the acquisition of wiles or the deployment of strategies," Revell writes. "Beginning in the senses, imagination senses farther, senses more." Using examples from his own poetry and translations and from Blake and Thoreau to Ronald Johnson and John Ashbery, Revell's The Art of Attention: A Poet's Eye takes the writer beyond the workshop and into the world of vision.

The Art of Attention: A Poet's Eye
In the poetry of attention we therefore find a pious materialism. Sad and strange that these two notions -- piety and materialism -- should be so generally proposed (and opposed) as antitheses. Their separation banishes the eye to a wilderness of mirrors. It banishes poetry to a metaphysical preschool. It compels aggression, setting sanctity loose upon unimproved matters of fact, constructing God knows how many golf courses, both real and metaphorical, as it goes. (I fly each week of the academic year from my home in Arden, Nevada, to my job at the University of Utah, and I cannot tell you how many times I have overheard some passenger propose to "improve" the glorious spaces of Zion National Park or the Wasatch Mountains with a golf course.) It's un-American. Wasn't the very fist chapter of Walden called "Economy" and wasn't Thoreau's economy expressed as faith in the worlding (natur naturans) of the world?
