Ian Pople in Manchester Review has called Matthias a kind of mid-Atlantic treasure, and Guy Davenport declared him one of the best poets in the USA. Matthias, an editor and teacher, as well as a prolific poet, has written some forty books of poetry, translation, scholarship, and fiction. His most recent volume is a book-length version of his memoir, Living with a Visionary, which was widely read when it appeared in The New Yorker. That account of his late wife Diana's struggle with Parkinson's finds a companion here in Hacheston Halt, about the poet's early visit to Diana's house in Suffolk.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/99/970/581/0999705814_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.95", "online_price" : "17.95", "our_price" : "17.95", "club_price" : "17.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
