Books A Poet Should Own (the list as it stands)That's the one. So if I can't find my copy, at least I know what to look for on Bookfinder.

  I've got the Yeats book, too, which was indeed eye-opening.  It's titled Yeats at Work.  From Ecco Press, edited by Curtis Bradford.  Don't know if it's still in print.  The heartening thing, for me when I first encountered it, was the fact that WBY's drafts were awful.  He just kept hammering away at them until they became great poetry.

    I'd include any book that chronicles the early drafts and revisions of the work of a poet one admires. I have one of Yeats somewhere on my bookshelves, but can't find it. Anyone know the name? The 25th anniversary edition of Howl has facsimile pages of the ms. with revisions. 
     
    This isn't a book, but http://englishhistory.net/keats/manuscripts.html has facsimiles of Keats' manuscripts, with revisions. I'd also toss in Walter Jackson Bate's bio of Keats, which has some good stuff on his work processes. Keats' letters, of course.
