Walking Light, Dunn's reflections on poetry, is by far the best book I've read in that genre. And I've read a fair few. I wasn't optimistic going in as I knew he was a FV poet. But my expectations were confounded.

Thanks Julie.
I just came upon this thread and was enthralled by the interview. The essential passages have been pinned by others, yet the whole of the interview including Green's expert guidance of the conversation is like panned gold. The only excerpt I think needs mentioning was Dunn's quote of a passage from his book of essays about Wallace Steven's and the imagination -- That and the discussion of the two processes being a kind of Yin and Yang.
