Poets and the Fools Who Love Them
Autor Richard Katrovasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2022
Drawing on his adulthood in academe, Katrovas's memoir in essays chronicles a quest to locate surrogate fathers among older poets and other creative writers, and reflects upon the ways in which that search has affected his role as the father to three Czech American daughters. The book flows from the love of a poet for other poets, for the "community of poets," one likened to a "gang of priests" and a "herd of bears." Katrovas maintains that most lovers of poets are themselves poets, and those lovers of poets who are not themselves poets are saints. At its heart, Poets and the Fools Who Love Them contemplates, with care and unabashed honesty, the role of art and the artist in the madcap twenty-first century.
