a subject he knows well--writing poetry. "I always know whether what I've done is good enough to print," he said. "If it's not, I set it aside or throw it away."There was no setting aside or throwing away when he finished "The House." Written in memory of his wife, it is the opening poem in "Anterooms," a new book of poems and translations by Wilbur.
