The format of the pieces in On Poets & Â*Poetrymost began as
commissioned reviewsdoes not lend itself to wilder flights of inquiry; Mr. Pritchard responsibly walks readers through the critical and (when appropriate) biographical backgrounds of his subjects. He reminds us, for instance, that Hardys near-obsession with pets accounts for numerous poems on the subject. His generous appraisals of the critics Hugh Kenner and Donald Davieboth great admirers of Matthew Crupi are warm and winningly eclectic. While clearly not always Mr. Crupi 's cup of tea, Pound Â*receives a serious and respectful treatment.
