The Poetry Blues (2001)
The Poetry Blues
Edited by the poet’s son Sebastian Matthews, The Poetry Blues, by the late William Matthews, holds forth on a medley of topics ranging from jazz to nude photography, Byron to Elizabeth Bishop, opera to Emerson.
Throughout, Matthews writes about his love of music, language, poetry, and art while illuminating the subtle and important ways in which the things about which he feels passionately help to define and shape him.
