註釋

This first volume of a projected three-volume autobiography begins with an intimate and notable account of one writer's personal and poetical concerns. Told in the third person, Shapiro's book covers his childhood in Baltimore and Norfolk, Virginia, his education, and his career as a novice poet and writer. Shapiro recollects his experiences with his family, friends, and lovers, but the real revelations are found in the poet's reflections on his writing. Shapiro tells how many of his major early poems came to be written and at the same time gives a generous record of his own aesthetic philosophy. This dual emphasis on the art and craft of poetry is effortlessly integrated wth the biographical elements, as Shapiro addresses both how and why be became a poet. ISBN 0-912697-86-5: $17.95.
