Query: A Magical Treatise on the Magic of Poetry

I generally shy away from books about poetry - one of the side effects of too much graduate school. I perused "Nine Gates"whilst wandering around a bookstore and bought it without my usual "is it worth it? which book has it knocked off my list..."The book is a poem - the essays weave together, speaking to me as both reader and writer. Hirshfield turns the poetic essay into a magnificent breathtaking tapestry.A rich and elegant work. I highly recommend it.
