Imagine

Renner always asks writers what three books they wish they had been the author of. In the spirit of that diversion I ask the writers, artists, photographers, film makers, musicians, architects etc. out there which three works in their respective fields they wish they were the creator of. Leave answers in comments.

    Oddly, since it’s sort of my question [that is, assuming that Cooper Renner and Cooper Esteban are the same person], most of the books I covet are books that are not in my “field” of poetry. I covet Alan Garner’s The Stone Book Quartet. Maybe I covet Penelope Fitzgerald’s The Blue Flower. I covet so much of Borges.

    But I’m being naughty and not responding to the question as questioned. So here goes:

    Don Juan by Lord Byron

    King Log by Geoffrey Hill

    Time’s Laughingstocks by Thomas Hardy
