"This is the first book-lenght study of one of the great formal poets of the later Twentieth Century (1923-2004). Making use of Hecht's correspondence, which the author edited, it situates Hecht's writings in the context of pre-and post-World-War II verse. In nine chapters, the book ranges over Hecht's full career, with special emphasis placed on the effects of the war on his memory; Hecht participated in the final push by the Allied troops in europe and was involved in the liberation of the Flossenburg Concentration Camp." see back cover.
