Self-Fiction: Gary Charles Wilkens on the anthology American Hybrid

American Hybrid, ed. Cole Swensen and David St. John, WW NortonPoets have always been fiction writers. I don’t mean those of us who are also novelists. I mean the stories that poets have told themselves about their art itself, at least since Plato, to allow them to get a handle on its slipperiness and make it their own.

Both men have been in their jobs for what seems like an eternity and I guess in the college athletics world, it probably is. Michael Tranghese has been commissioner of the Big East for 18 years, following Dave Gavitt, its first commissioner and Tranghese’s boss at both the Big East and Providence College from where Gavitt brought Tranghese in to be the Big East’s second employ
