Their Own Society: Prose On Poetry

Their Own Society is a selection of essays, reviews, and talks written during Mitchell's career as a poet & teacher that considers what poetry is, does, and sometimes struggles to do. The book makes no central thesis about the state of American poetry today, except to indicate how varied its poems have become as the sense of a definable center to American poetry continues to undergo the fate of virtually all forms of centralized authority in the arts.
