When an American/Australian friend was flying home for a visit she asked me what I wanted her to bring me. I said "The Darkness and the Light" by Anthony Hecht, and she did bring it to me. Since then I have managed to get a copy of "Flight Among the Tombs".
I had an argument with my local library because they didn't have any of his work.
He has that something extra which marks a timeless poet and yet he is very much a man of his time.
I edited back in because I noticed I said "is" instead of "was". I still say "is".

Dirda on Hecht was posted on another forum and I thought it might be of interest here.
