His apt parodies and zany poetic conceits have earned him the distinction of being the funniest poet in America, and his extravagant imagination and knack for high hilarity have pleased generations of readers. \u003cbr\u003eHere, in \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Poetry, \u003c\/i\u003eKoch offers amusing and thought-provoking essays on the nature of the poetic moment, from its heartfelt emergence in an elementary school classroom to its raucous display in a set of satirical cartoons drawn by the author. Also included are interviews with Allen Ginsberg and Jordan Davis in which Koch discusses a range of diverse topics, including literary criticism, French poetry, and Santa Claus. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Poetry \u003c\/i\u003eprovides Koch's audience with not only the musings and mischievous thoughts of the poetic mind, but also the reflections of the most respected poetry teacher in America. \u003cbr\u003eKenneth Koch's other books include \u003ci\u003eOn the Great Atlantic Rainway: Selected Poems 1950-1988; Seasons on Earth, Days and Nights, The Art of Love, One Thousand Avant-Garde Plays, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOne Train, \u003c\/i\u003efor which he won the Bollingen Prize in American Poetry.
