Madness, Rack, and Honey

In this collection, Ruefle delivers a lecture every six months to a group of poetry graduate students. Collected here for the first time, these lectures include Poetry and the Moon, Someone Reading a Book Is a Sign of Order in the World, and Lectures I Will Never Give. Intellectually virtuosic, instructive, and experiential, Madness, Rack, and Honey doesn't resist definition. Instead, it demands you immerse yourself in it—and enjoy every minute of it.
