Nice little mini-biographies of a dozen or so writers that used pen-names, some of whom were real oddballs.
These poems are arrayed in categories including the virtues of solitude, absence and longing, loneliness and despair, on mind and soul, alone among others, and in the stillness of the night, The breadth of the collection belies the compact size of the book.
I greatly enjoyed this. Some of the authors profiled were unfamiliar to me, but now I feel compelled to pick up works by all of them. Some lived tragic lives, others quiet ones, but all were written about compellingly. Definitely recommended.

I was personally only interested in the Neal/Dahl story, which was quite sad, because the others were relatively unknown to me, although I have heard of a few of them. Just a bunch of people giving up their dreams to be a "wife" to an egotist.
My recommendation? Skip it.… (més)
