Born in Brooklyn, New York, he attended university at Georgetown and Cambridge, where he studied with I.A. Richards, and Columbia, where he studied law. In 1942 he was appointed curator of Harvard Library’s Poetry Room (established in 1931 and specialising in twentieth century poetry in English); curator of the Farnsworth Room in 1945; and Subject Specialist in English Literature in 1947. Stratis Haviaras writes in The Harvard Librarian that ‘Though five other curators preceded him, Jack Sweeney is considered the Father of the Poetry Room …’. 1 He oversaw the Poetry Room’s move to the Lamont Library, ‘establishing its philosophy and its role within the library system and the University; and he endowed it with an international reputation’.2 He also lectured in General Education and English at Harvard.

  • Poetic Commemoration of the Battle in Huleikat Yael Shenker
    "The world is filled with remembering and forgetting": Poetic Commemoration of the Battle in Huleikat Yael Shenker and Omri Herzog Abstract The battles fought at Huleikat in the 1948 war tell a tangled and compelling story. Israeli fighters from various brigades fought there in several operations, and the area's conquest in 1948 was strategically significant for Israel. The article focuses on three memories or in fact three strategies of remembering that revolve around the site of these battles: the monument erected at the place, a photograph of Hill 138.5 in Huleikat taken by photographer Drora Dominey that was displayed in an exhibition of Israeli monuments, and a few poems of Yehuda Amichai who fought in that area and lost his close friend Dicky. Emulating terms of analysis proposed by Julia Kristeva this article makes a distinction between semiotic and symbolic memory and argues that Amichai's poetry, like the 138.5 Hill photograph, belongs in a semiotic realm that breaches the limits of consciousness and offers an alternative to national memory. The article further argues that these three memories enable us to trace the painful paths of individual and collective memory as well as the ways in which death mediates among memory, remembering, forgetfulness and obliteration in Israeli culture. The world is filled with remembering and forgetting like sea and dry land. Sometimes memory is the solid ground we stand on, sometimes memory is the sea that covers all things like the Flood. And forgetting is the dry land that saves, like Ararat.1 1 Yehuda Amichai. Patu'ah Sagur Patu'ah (Open Closed Open).

  • Utopian Stock: David Constantine Interviewed by Aaron Deveson
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 45.1 March 2019: 3-16 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.201903_45(1).0001 Utopian Stock: David Constantine Interviewed by Aaron Deveson Aaron Deveson Department of English National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan [Editor’s Note] David Constantine, who was born in Salford, Lancashire, in the United Kingdom in 1944, is one of the most consistently brilliant poets and short- story authors writing in English today. In a review of Constantine’s Collected Poems (2004), the critic Stephen (now Stephanie) Burt called him “the most lyrical of good poets” (3), adding that his poetry was “Romantic, in almost all the loaded, unfashionable and daring senses that once-omnipresent word can bear” (3). Constantine’s most recent book of short stories, Tea at the Midland, won the 2013 Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award, and he has published two novels. He is also one of our most important translators and translation editors. With his wife Helen he edited Modern Poetry in Translation between 2003 and 2012. His translation of Selected Poems by Friedrich Hölderlin was the winner of the European Translation Prize and another of his translations, Hans Magnus Enzensberger’s Lighter than Air, won the Corneliu M. Popescu Prize for European Translation. He has also produced critically lauded translations of Goethe’s Faust, Kleist, Henri Michaux, and Philippe Jaccottet, among others. Before he came to prominence as a writer of poetry and fiction, he was a scholar in European, and especially, German literature. In 1981, Constantine moved from his first academic job at Durham University to the Queen’s College, University of Oxford, where he remains a Supernumerary Fellow, having taught modern languages there until 2000.

    Lud Arons 1619 COMMONWEALTH BOSTON,MA 02135 USA March 9, 1989 Dear Harold Weisberg: I was wondering just when you would recall my interview with you three years ago. My wife thinks that I'm a lousy interviewer and I'm inclined to agree but the program doesn't bore. I think it's lively, candid, disorganized, far-ranging and informative with some interestingly raucous give and take.. If you'd like a copy, I'll whip it into publishable shape from the raw master and dub you a copy @ $12.95 ppd.' If it wasn't for that hack Kopkind and his editor Navasky, we'd probably have never been put into contact again which only goes to prove once again my favorite maxim, "People Do The Right Things For The Wrong Reasons.'" or PI11RTFTWR for short.' I might even include the interview as part or all of an issue of a new audio newsletter you might want to subscribe to & join an elite group of subscribers. I hereby volunteer to go south and spend some time helping you to organize your materials and perhaps even coming up with some gems that can be used to good effect currently instead of having to wait for some improbable scholar from the future Brave One World to find it in an obscure library. Sincerely, 3/9/89 Harolds What do you think about this letter? Do you agree or disagree with it in principle? Februa Dear Journalist: A file accumulated on AIDS related material order has been sent under separate cover to you.

  • No Italian Translation
    MASK OF BYRON DISPLAYS NEW FACE October 5, 2004 A WAX carnival mask worn by Lord Byron at the height of the great poet's passionate affair with a young Italian countess in the early 19th century goes on display in Rome today after a delicate restoration. The mask, worn by Byron at a Ravenna carnival in 1820, was given to the Keats-Shelley Memorial House 40 years ago. But Catherine Payling, 33, director of the museum, said she was shocked by its deterioration when taking over 15 months ago. The Keats-Shelley house, next to the Spanish Steps, where Keats died in 1821, contains memorabilia associated with Keats, Shelley and Byron, all of whom lived in Italy at the height of the Romantic movement. Byron had left England in 1816 after a series of affairs and a disastrous year-long marriage, to join a brilliant group of English literary exiles that included Shelley and his wife, Mary. In the spring of 1819, Byron met Countess Teresa Guiccioli, who was only 20 and had been married for a year to a rich and eccentric Ravenna aristocrat three times her age. The encounter, he said later, "changed my life", and from then on he confined himself to "only the strictest adultery". Byron gave up "light philandering" to live with Teresa, first in the Palazzo Guiccioli in Ravenna - conducting the affair under the nose of the count - and then in Pisa after the countess had obtained a separation by papal decree. In his letters to John Murray, his publisher, Byron said that carnivals and balls were "the best thing about Ravenna, when everybody runs mad for six weeks", and described wearing the mask - which originally sported a thick beard - to accompany the countess to the carnival.

    Poets, Belief and Calamitous Times . in calamitous times When old certainties lose their outlines, Virtues are negated, and faith fades.1 Gwynith Young Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2006 Department of English University of Melbourne 1 Primo Levi, ‘Huayna Capac’, Collected Poems, (London: Faber & Faber, 1988), 35. ii iii Abstract My research in this thesis covers the religious discourse of six contemporary poets who write belief from a position of calamity. Yehuda Amichai writes from the constant wars fought since the founding of the state of Israel; Anne Sexton from psychiatric illness; Seamus Heaney from the sectarian violence of Ireland; Paul Celan and Nelly Sachs from the twentieth century's greatest calamity, the Holocaust; and Yves Bonnefoy, from the language theories of post-modernism, which are calamitous for a poet. My hypothesis is that under the pressures of calamity, in their resulting fragile subjectivity, poets will write an over-cohesive statement of belief, in which ambiguity and contradiction are suppressed, but that these qualities may be discernable through both traces and gaps in the discourse. In all except one of the poets, I have found this to be the case. Only Nelly Sachs avoids this pattern, and integrates evil and belief. Yehuda Amichai's over-cohesive statement of belief asserts the absence of God and calls God to account. Breaking through this overt discourse however, and dominant by Amichai's final book, is evidence of a nurturing spiritual belief. Anne Sexton repudiates her writing of Christ as Divine mother, companion, liberator and nourisher and reinscribes a patriarchal metanarrative in her 'Rowing' poems.
