Lives and Letters: Poets as People
This edition of the Third Fig Review considers the topic of Lives and Letters: Poets as People. We navigate that transitional zone, poetry’s matrix and edge, where the shadow of the author falls across their writing, and where the reader’s shadow falls as well—two people from the living world attending to words that will outlive them.
