Description
"Flies are the most ubiquitous of insects: bussing, miniscule, and seemingly insignificant, they've been both plagues and minor annoyances for millennia. Rather than ignore these incredibly mundane and seemingly insignificant creatures, poets spanning centuries--from the seventeenth to the twentieth--and continents--from North America to Asia--have found that these ordinary bugs in fact illuminate deep spiritual mysteries. ...Hudson considers seven poets, each of whom wrote a provocative poem about a fly."--Provided by publisher.
