Clayton Eshleman
Host:
An Alchemist with One Eye on Fire (Black Widow Press)
When The Bookworm explains that reading Eshleman's intense and
visceral work brings up initial feelings of disgust, Eschleman responds
that his poetry is a matter of initiation and transformation. He
apprenticed himself to Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo, and describes his
own relationship to Vallejo as a journey from horror to mastery.
