MacLeish says that to understand what poetry is, you need a poet as a guide, since "the critics, though they have mapped those mountains, have never climbed them themselves." But he's referring not just to himself, but to a third-century Chinese poet, Lu Chi, who not only wrote poetry but wrote about the great writers he knew, and about "how a poem gets itself written." As MacLeish is our guide, Lu Chi is MacLeish's and appears throughout the book.
