[New-Poetry] Lewis Hyde profile in NYT Mag

[Suzanne Burns]

That book is hands down one of the best books I've read. It has a deep
impact on me back when I began grad work in poetry.  I read it to the point
where my copy fell apart and had to be kept together with twine, and almost
lost if forever when I loaned it to Jack Gilbert (I remember picking it up
from his bookshelf and saying with some irony "This wasn't a gift.")

Nice article. :-)
