"This interview gives readers some fascinating insights into the ouvre of Clayton Eshleman -  visionary poet, translator, literary critic and editor (of Sulphur magazine). Eshleman is a giant of the US and international poetry scenes and the full extent of his unique contribution to late 20th century literary culture (late Modernism and postmodernism) is only now becoming apparent. In this interview Eshleman discusses some of his most recent publications, summarises the place in his professional life of his work as a poetry translator and comments on important aspects of his own 'poetic'."
