  • ENG 351 Lecture 33 1 Let's Finish Discussing Gwendolyn Brooks. I
    ENG 351 Lecture 33 1 Let’s finish discussing Gwendolyn Brooks. I would like your indulgence to make up for last time. I really was blind. It was — and one of you saved my life, with my visual migraine which sent me into something of a panic. Something else I’ve learned is you should never — you should never read a poem in public that you haven’t read for many years. It can sneak up on you and kick you, and that’s what this poem did. I haven’t looked at The Chicago Defender poem for a long, long, long time. And here I am, half blinded, and then I got emotional at the end of it. So I apologize for that and see if I can get through this with a decent reading. That happened to me one time before with a poem called “April Inventory” by W. D. Snodgrass. And sometimes, you know, poetry has a — has a way of getting to you, whether you want it to or not. But let me — it’s a good poem. It’s only a few minutes long. If you can bear with it, I wanted to get that on in the lesson. This was the poem that I asked Gwendolyn Brooks why she didn’t read it while she was here and she said she no longer liked the ending of it. So I particularly want you to pay attention to the ending of it. She asked me why I liked it and I said because I’m from Little Rock, and then she inquired, “How old were you in 1957?” And when I told her I was eleven, it was okay.

  • Galway Kinnell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Galway Kinnell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Galway Kinnell(1 February 1927) Galway Kinnell is an American poet. He was Poet Laureate of Vermont from 1989 to 1993. An admitted follower of <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/walt- whitman/">Walt Whitman</a> , Kinnell rejects the idea of seeking fulfillment by escaping into the imaginary world. His best-loved and most anthologized poems are "St. Francis and the Sow" and "After Making Love We Hear Footsteps". <b>Biography</b> Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Kinnell said that as a youth he was turned on to poetry by <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/edgar-allan-poe/">Edgar Allan Poe</a> and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/emily- dickinson/">Emily Dickinson</a>, drawn to both the musical appeal of their poetry and the idea that they led solitary lives. The allure of the language spoke to what he describes as the homogeneous feel of his hometown, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He has also described himself as an introvert during his childhood. Kinnell studied at Princeton University, graduating in 1948 alongside friend and fellow poet <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/william-stanley- merwin/">W.S. Merwin</a>. He received his master of arts degree from the University of Rochester. He traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East, and went to Paris on a Fulbright Fellowship. During the 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement in the United States caught his attention. Upon returning to the US, he joined CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) and worked on voter registration and workplace integration in Hammond, Louisiana.

  • Program Notes by Michael Moore Rewind//PLAY//Fastforward Performed October 17, 2009
    Program Notes by Michael Moore rewind//PLAY//fastforward Performed October 17, 2009 This evening’s concert begins a season-long celebration of American choral music. The concert opens and closes with music of Charles Ives, that most original and enigmatic of American composers, and also includes Frostiana, Randall Thompson’s superb setting of seven Robert Frost poems. We rewind for a reprise concert performance of David Lang’s deeply moving battle hymns, premiered last season, and fast forward to a preview of Roberto Sierra’s Missa Latina, which Mendelssohn Club will present in its Philadelphia premiere in April. Charles Ives The uniquely eclectic musical style of Charles Ives (1874-1954) was greatly influenced by his father. George Ives was a cornet player and military bandleader in the Civil War, and had returned to his native Danbury, Connecticut where he continued as a bandleader, conductor of theater orchestras and choir director. He had a keen interest in acoustical effects, once marching two bands across the town green from opposite directions, playing different tunes in different keys to gauge the effect, building a device for playing music in quarter tones, and teaching his son to sing in one key while accompanying him in another. He encouraged Charles to experiment with different musical effects, but also instilled in him a love of traditional hymns and tunes, all of which influenced his later music. By the time he entered Yale at 20, Ives was a virtuoso organist and an accomplished pianist and composer. He had already written such significant works as his Variations on America and Psalm 67.

  • The Library of America Interviews Lloyd Schwartz About Elizabeth Bishop
    The Library of America Interviews Lloyd Schwartz about Elizabeth Bishop In connection with the publication in October 2007 of Elizabeth Bishop: Poems, Prose, and Letters , edited by Robert Giroux and Lloyd Schwartz, Rich Kelley conducted this exclusive interview for The Library of America e-Newsletter. Sign up for the free monthly e-Newsletter at www.loa.org . Critics now consider Elizabeth Bishop one of the great poets of the 20th century, but they have a bit of problem placing her. Marianne Moore was an early mentor and Robert Lowell raved about her first book of poems and became a close friend, yet her poems are not confessional. Some people say she reminds them of Wallace Stevens, others of Robert Frost. How would you characterize Elizabeth Bishop’s achievement and why is she so difficult to place? Maybe what makes her hard to place is exactly what makes her different from anyone else. The more we learn about her the more we realize that her biography has a lot more to do with both the kind of poet she was and with the subject of her poems than first meets the eye. Here was someone who grew up essentially an orphan. Her father died when she was only a few months old. Her mother had a series of nervous breakdowns , was not able to take care of her , and was institutionalized when Bishop was four. Elizabeth never saw her again even though her mother lived for 18 more years. She was brought up by her grandparents and her aunts and farmed out to private schools.
