520    "Oh! there are spirits of the air," wrote Percy Bysshe 
       Shelley. In this stunningly original book Maureen N. 
       McLane channels the spirits and voices that make up the 
       music in one poet's mind. Weaving criticism and memoir, 
       "My Poets" explores a life reading and a life read. McLane
       invokes in "My Poets" not necessarily the best poets, nor 
       the most important poets (whoever these might be), but 
       those writers who, in possessing her, made her. "I am 
       marking here what most marked me," she writes. Ranging 
       from Chaucer to H.D. to William Carlos Williams to Louise 
       Gluck to Shelley (among others), McLane tracks the "growth
       of a poet's mind," as Wordsworth put it in "The Prelude." 
       In a poetical prose both probing and incantatory, McLane 
       has written a radical book of experimental criticism. 
       Susan Sontag called for an "erotics of interpretation" 
       this is it. Part "Bildung," part dithyramb, part exegesis,
       "My Poets" extends an implicit invitation to you, dear 
       reader, to consider who your "my poets," or "my novelists,
       " or "my filmmakers," or "my pop stars," might be.
