"Dear Editor: A History of Poetry in Letters: The First Fifty Years, 1912–1962 was the first in a lively two-part epistolary history of Poetry, the pioneering literary magazine that has published every significant poet from Edna St. Vincent Millay to A.R. Ammons, Mary Oliver, Billy Collins, and beyond. In the second volume, Joseph Parisi, Poetry editor from 1983 to 2003, reflects on the fact that whenever the magazine was endangered (all too often), good fortune interceded. But nothing compares with the astounding munificence of philanthropist and amateur poet Ruth Lilly, who transformed Poetry in 2002 with a bequest of more than $100 million. Parisi is keen and caustic in his eye-opening account of the frenzy that followed, just as he is incisive and peppery in his commentary accompanying the 500-plus letters from the past 40 years that he and coeditor Stephen Young judiciously selected from the magazine's invaluable archive. Poetry lovers will be thrilled with the many distinctive and distinguished poets and equally interesting editors represented here in letters candid, shrewd, funny, and venomous. Matched by Parisi's sage interpretations of such complex subjects as the effect on poetry of the Vietnam War and the great migration of poets to the academy, Between the Lines is a uniquely intimate overview of the flourishing of contemporary American poetry."—Booklist
