These new interviews provide insights into the poets and their poems without compromising any of their mystery. Whether you're looking for deeper understanding of your favorite poets or are simply interested in the lives of contemporary artists, *Passwords Primeval* reveals the interconnectedness of these masters whose voices echo each other from opposite ends of the same canyon.
