No one has ever written more powerfully about the natural beauty of the American West. Determined to write a truthful poetry purged of ephemeral things, Jeffers cultivated a style at What is the NEA Big Read? once lyrical, tough-minded, and timeless. A program of the National Endowment for the Arts, NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. Managed by Arts Midwest, this initiative offers grants to support innovative community reading programs designed around a single book. A great book combines enrichment with enchantment.

NEA Big Read The National Endowment for the Arts 2 About the Book Introduction to Robinson Jeffers The poetry of Robinson Jeffers is distractingly memorable, not only for its strong music, but also for the hard edge of its wisdom. His verse, especially the wild, expansive narratives that made him famous in the 1920s, does not fit into the conventional definitions of modern American poetry.

  • Art of Poetry Syllabus (2018) Word
    ENG 172g: THE ART OF POETRY University of Southern California Dana Gioia Fall, 2018 Monday / Wednesday, 2:00 – 3:20 p.m. THH, Room 201 Syllabus Overview This course provides an introduction to the pleasures and insights of poetry. Our coursework will be divided into two parts. In the first half, we will systematically explore the key elements of the poetic art (voice, image, suggestion, metaphor, and form) with examples drawn from the high points of English-language poetry. The second part of the course will explore the lives and works of seven major poets in depth: William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, E. A. Robinson, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, and Langston Hughes. This course will develop your skill in critical reading and writing—focusing on both what literary language says explicitly and what it suggests. As you will discover, the careful study of poetry will enhance your general mastery of language. Underlying all of these academic aims, however, is the assumption that poetry is not a remote and specialized art whose mysteries can be appreciated only by a trained intellectual elite. This course rests on the conviction that poetry is one of the irreplaceable human arts whose power and pleasure are open to any alert and intelligent person with an inclination to savor them.

  • The Businessman, the Statesman, and the Poet - the Best American Poetry
    The Businessman, the Statesman, and the Poet - The Best American Poetry The Best American Poetry WHO WE ARE ABOUT ADVERTISE WITH US BOOKS POEMS GUEST BLOGGERS BOOK STORES EMILY CHICKENSON REMEMBERING PAUL VIOLI PAUL VIOLI PRIZE April 29, 2012 The Businessman, the Statesman, and the Poet Ed note: On Thursday, April 26, 2012, at The Corner Bookstore in Manhattan (93rd Street and Madison Avenue), Dana Gioia read from Pity the Beautiful, his most recent volume of poetry. Here is the text of David Lehman's introduction. (sdh): Most poets lead lives of quiet desperation or perhaps subdued contentment. The example of Dylan Thomas to the contrary notwithstanding, the life of a modern poet is not supposed to be dramatic, exciting, full of unexpected detours and flamboyant adventures. Take a look at the contributors' notes of a poetry anthology and you’ll see the typical profile: the poet has an MFA degree, teaches writing workshops at a university or college, has several publications, has gained some recognition, and lives with spouse plus a pet with a cute name in Tuscaloosa or Kalamazoo, or maybe Iowa City or Ann Arbor. How different from this paradigm is the life and career of Dana Gioia. After college at Stanford, Dana studied comparative literature at Harvard, picking up a master’s degree but deciding that the academic life was not for him. In 1975, he returned to Stanford to study business. With his MBA in hand he began working for General Foods in Rye Brook, NY, becoming a vice president of marketing, with responsibilities for such accounts as Jell-O and Kool-Aid.

  • Naming and Taming the Truth: Dana Gioia's Transformative Poetry
    Naming and Taming the Truth 26 ___ 10.2478/abcsj-2021-0003 Naming and Taming the Truth: Dana Gioia’s Transformative Poetry ROXANA DONCU “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania Abstract This essay attempts to trace the ways in which Dana Gioiaʼs use of form relates to, and simultaneously differs from Romanticism, Modernism and postmodernism. His particular brand of formalism takes up the notion of a connection between truth and beauty, without presuming to identify one with the other, and, at the same time, resisting both the Modernist obsession with dissolution and fragmentariness and postmodernism's skepticism towards grand narratives. Form becomes a coalescing agent, uniting different aspects and levels of reality, and narratives are instrumental in shaping both the individual and the social body. The power to name (point to and describe) and to tame (to translate dark or incomprehensible aspects of reality), inherent in language, is the means by which poetry shapes our social and cultural world. Keywords: modernism, new formalism, expansive poetry, poetic truth, poetic form Introduction: Not Form but Transformation Our private and public lives are shaped by the truths we fight for, and we are constantly at war with those that misunderstand us. Knowledge is power, yet true knowledge is scarce and not easily discernible among the heaps of disposable errors. Science has developed procedures and protocols to ascertain the truth of facts, and logic has its own methods to check the truth of statements. Yet while scientific, logical truth is always 27 Naming and Taming the Truth predicated of a specific object, there is another kind of truth (sometimes capitalized as the Truth), which we find in religion, metaphysics, or esoteric knowledge – modes that emphasize the meaning of life – and we identify with.
