The great American poetry bake-off Book

Obviously, it's Seamus Heaney, so this collection of lectures and miscellanies is well written and acutely observed. Those who with a far more wide-ranging knowledge of poetry than me will get more out of it. Zbigniew Herbert and Czeslaw Milosc make a number of appearances which will add some context to their entries in The Rattle Bag and The School Bag. Mandelstam also turns up quite a lot. I found (because I'm familiar with it) Heaney's discussion of Elizabeth Bishop's The Fish Houses most enlightening. Robert Lowell (of whom, I've read nothing) less so.
