Lewis Hyde is a poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic with a particular interest in the public life of the imagination. He is most known for his 1983 book, The Gift, which illuminates and defends the non-commercial portion of artistic practice. Hyde’s most recent book, A Primer for Forgetting, explores the many situations in which forgetfulness is more useful than memory—in myth, personal psychology, politics, art & spiritual life.
