In this volume we put together wordsmiths of the highest caliber as they write on Poets themselves. Many of the poems provide valuable insights on how other poets are seen by their peers. Some are deeply personal others are abstract. Whether they speak at the celebration of a birth or the knowing tragedy of entering a slaughterous battle these poets take us into new uncharted territories revealing their inner selves in raw and tender ways.

Yeats, Flecker, Benet, Yeats, Dickinson, Coleridge, Millay, Levy, Gurney are but a few of their number who speak with the clarity, the eloquence and the truth that only a poet can know....but all can share.
