And The Poet Said..., now available




Whether by accident or fate, as Hole in The Head Review wends its way through our fifth year, we go to print, though I use the we loosely. It’s really about 14 poets, revealed in depth by the poet, teacher and critic Michael Hettich, in his interviews for our online journal.

Here you have the thinking of these poets, some well-known award winners, some lesser- known, about their own writing and process, about their favorite poets, forms of poetry, “schools” of poetry, and about themselves and their lives. For any serious student of poetry—or just poetry-lover—And the Poet Said… is a trove of creative, intellectual, and artistic treasure.

We think it’s a little bit like being invited to be at home with the poets, listening from the kitchen, as they chat in the dining room about the inner workings of their poetry lives. Isn’t it what we’d all, secretly, like to do?

So, please join Michael as he deftly relates what the poet said….
