Readings combines the best of Sven Birkerts's dazzling criticism with vital new essays. Here is Birkerts the literary critic in top form discussing authors ranging from Elizabeth Bishop to Don DeLillo, and topics such as biography and the enigma of poetic inspiration. A brilliant cultural commentator, Birkerts also offers important insights into contemporary nostalgia, our modern sense of time, and the future of the creative spirit.
