About
Donald Revell argues passionately for the transformation that imaginative experience elicits through poetry. "The art of poetry is not about the acquisition of wiles or the deployment of strategies," Revell writes. "Beginning in the senses, imagination senses farther, senses more." Using examples from his own poetry and translation and from Blake and Thoreau to Ronald Johnson and John Ashbery, Revell's The Art of Attention: Who Made the Eyes But I? takes the writer beyond the workshop and into the world of vision.
