An Axe for the Frozen Sea: Conversations with Poets about What Matters Most

In this collection of conversations, Ben Palpant, author of Letters From The Mountain, has compiled his intimate, one-on-one interviews with eighteen leading poets of the 21st century. These intimate conversations cover an entire range of life experiences, including grief, hope, culture, the writing craft, family life, and the imagination. Taken together, these interviews are a powerful reminder that poetry remains an essential expression of what it means to be human.
