Trinidadian Scottish poet Anthony V. Capildeo's non-fiction début brings together a selection of brilliant essays, letters and columns from over a dozen years of the leading poetry journal PN Review. They amount to an art of reading, while exposing the knotted side of the tapestry of a writing life. These vignettes will take you stargazing, invite you onto the road with stilt walkers, pause on questions of touch and mourning, and delight in conversing with writers new and old.
