The Onion's Dark Core: A Little Book of Poetry Talk

by David Bottoms

This valuable little book is a collection of six essays by and four interviews with Georgia Poet Laureate David Bottoms. Edward Hirsch, author of The Living New and Selected Poems, says, "This deeply considered little book-offhandedly personal, keenly thoughtful-treats poetry with the seriousness it deserves as 'the most natural vehicle of the spirit, ' a quest for the divine." Dave Smith, author of Little Boats, Poems 1992-2004, says, "Bottoms writes something more like meditation than criticism and his book will pleasure long and well the most discriminating as well as the amateur reader."
