Description
Fishing has inspired a wealth of poetry-Tang Dynasty meditations; Japanese haiku; medieval rhymes; classic verses by Homer and Shakespeare; poems by Donne, Goethe, Tennyson, and Yeats.
Modern masterpieces abound as well, by the likes of Federico GarcÃa Lorca, Elizabeth Bishop, Ted Hughes, Robert Lowell, Raymond Carver, Margaret Atwood, Audre Lorde, Richard Hugo, and Derek Walcott.
In the hands of the poets collected here, fishing with a hook and line yields reflections both sparklingly light and awe-inspiringly deep.
