This Dialogue of One collects thirteen essays on English, French
and American poets by one of the era's most engaging and highly
esteemed poet-critics. Like Randall Jarrell, whose achievement is
assessed here, Ford combines a refreshing openness to innovation
with an authoritative awareness of what makes a poem stand the test
of time. Witty, astute and wide-ranging, Ford demonstrates his
formidable gifts as a close reader of poetry, whether exploring
canonical works by the likes of Whitman, Dickinson, Baudelaire and
T.S. Eliot, or championing the cause of neglected figures such as
James Thomson, Samuel Greenberg and Joan Murray. As John Lanchester
once observed of Ford's essays, 'If more literary criticism were
like this, more people would read it.'
