At Large takes its title from John Matthias' Editor at Large column published during the last decade in Notre Dame Review. The book is in some ways a sequel to his previous volume of essays and memoirs, Who Was Cousin Alice? And Other Questions (Shearsman Books, 2011). Like that book, At Large contains a series of personal essays, many of which also involve literary commentary, along with literary essays that retain the flavor of memoir. Subjects include memories of an early poetic apprenticeship, family history, backgrounds for his novel Different Kinds of Music (Shearsman, 2014), as well as longer and more formal pieces about poetry of place; the work of Basil Bunting, Tomas Tranströmer, David Jones, Robert Duncan, and Hugh MacDiarmid; the fiction of poets; poetry in film and opera; and the literary dangers of finding religious feeling in texts that are really dealing with secular emotions.
