- catalog abstract ""In his criticism over the years, Mr. Simon has consistently paid attention to the books of poets, and has written occasional verse and translated foreign poetry. In Dreamers of Dreams, readers will find essays on the great pathfinders and innovators: Rimbaud, Mallarme, Rilke, Verlaine, Eliot, Anna Akhmatova, Paul Celan, and, yes, Oscar Wilde. But there is also rich criticism of poets nearer to us: James Merrill, Robert Graves, Joseph Brodsky, John Ashbery, and Philip Larkin - not always in admiration. The book also includes Mr. Simon's thoughts on the best English poem about physical love, on the translation of poetry, and on some forgotten minor poets whose only sin was accessiblity and who cry out for rediscovery."--Jacket.".
