At Last We Enter Paradise door Richard Jones
A quick read.
These are examples how poets got ideas, modified them, reconsidered, and finally published a single poem. Each example shows a different sort of process, and each example enriches my experience of the final result.
This is one of the most prolific poetry books of modern day. Richard Jones is highly talented and really takes his readers on a journey into his life and his career.
