I've loved Amy Clampitt's poetry for a long time, but because she isn't a 'fashionable' poet and possibly because she was American, there wasn't much available by way of finding out about the woman herself. Spiegelman addresses this in what is a comprehensive biography in which no stone is left unturned to attempt to present her life and works.
Some of this I found a bit much but it really hits stride when Amy herself does, and the writing about her later years and her poetry and process are fascinating, lively and utterly absorbing.
