Great post - I'm excited to read these. My dad was just telling me that Brodsky's essay on Auden is a master class in poetry reading. Some other favorites of mine in the "prose by poets" genre are Robert Hass - Twentieth Century Pleasures, Jane Hirschield - Nine Gates, and a lot of essays by Milosz.
I'm excited in advance for you -- Brodsky's essay on Auden is incredible! I agree on Milosz but am not familiar with Jane Hirshfield's prose....thank you, I will seek it out.

Great issue of this thing-blog?
Thank you, Donna! Trying to figure out what it is--a letter to the universe, maybe?
