The Life of Poetry
Muriel Rukeyser
@JonathanStrahan Currently coming to mind: The Phantom Tollbooth, Earthsea, & The Penguin Book of Modern Fantasy by Women (1995) both bc of how many writers I met & bc there’s so much SF and horror in there too, despite the title. Also Muriel Rukeyser’s introduction to The Life of Poetry
