Bøker av James Dickey

In Self-Interviews, James Dickey speaks thoughtfully and with candour of his life as a poet. He recalls how poetry came to be his career, tracing its growing importance in his life from his youth in Georgia through his years overseas with the Air Force, as a student at Vanderbilt, as a teacher, and as a successful advertising executive.

James Dickey's creativity as a poet is well known. But there have been few opportunities for his readers to become familiar with the thoughts and perceptions that lie just outside the matter of his poetry. Sorties brings together the contents of a journal kept by Dickey for several years and six essays on poetry and the creative process.
