Letter from Poetry Magazine
Letter to the Editor
BY C.P. Mangel
Dear Editor,
The essays by Christian Wiman ["Mastery and Mystery"] and C.K. Williams [“Nature and Panic”] in the October issue are alone worth the cost of my subscription—luminous brilliance, unsurpassed.
I have not read such sublime and accessible essays on poetry in a very long time, and I will most surely use these essays for teaching.
Some of the sentences are so beautiful, so full of clarity and veracity that they both overwhelm and comfort me.
