As recounted in the memoir-essays and poignant late poems in A Double Life, the distinguished co-founding editor of Field and poet-translator, Stuart Friebert, has led the kind of globe-trotting "double life" that makes for the stuff of legend.

A young man's love of flying whisks him into a wartime disappearance, the big adventure of retrieving a mobster's body from a lake leads one rescuer to death from an infection, a revered German scholar breaks...
