[His] poems . . . bear witness to both the care and disregard
around us--naming the places, catching the shine of the ordinary,
pulling the rug out from under vanity and pretension, giving fresh
credit to the selfless and decent, acknowledging the inevitable,
nudging us toward observant lives and peaceful
interactions.--Jurors, Western Book Awards Lifetime Achievement in
Poetry, 1992 The late William Stafford's poetry and essays have had
a major influence on contemporary American poetry. Since his book
Traveling Through the Dark won the National Book Award in 1963, his
awards have grown exponentially as new work has appeared. The range
of writers in the past four decades who have celebrated Stafford's
work-- from Margaret Atwood to James Dickey-- is remarkable. On
William Stafford: The Worth of Local Things helps clarify the
precise nature of Stafford's influence by assembling the responses
of some of our best poets and critics to his work, including
Richard Hugo, Charles Simic, Louis Simpson, Robert Coles, Linda
Pastan, and Robert Creeley. This collection offers a unique view of
Stafford's sometimes controversial work and insight into several of
the liveliest recent debates in poetics. Tom Andrews is Assistant
Professor of English, Ohio University.
