I loved Hoagland's collection of essays. Even emailed him about his response to Louise Gluck's Purple Bathing Suit (you'll get to this essay). I second the recommendation for Triggering Town. The essay "Nuts and Bolts" is wonderful on revision. Ypu’ve picked a good one to begin with. I loved Hoagland’s collection of essays.

That's one of my goals in reading more -- I plan on teaching at some point, so I need to start building a body of material that I'd want to pass along. Thanks for the suggestions, I’m making a list!

One of my favorites is a book titled The Eye of the Poet edited by David Citino. This book contains essays by six (I think) different poets including one of my favorites, Maxine Kumin.

But may I suggest Koch's "Making Your Own Days," and Richard Hugo's classic "The Triggering Town."
