  • My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod the Word
    XIV Passions: My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod The word passion has most often been associated with strong sexual desire or lust. I have felt a good deal of that kind of passion in my life but I prefer not to speak of it at this moment. Instead, it is the appetite for life in a broader sense that seems to have driven most of my actions. Moreover, the former craving is focused on an individual (unless the sexual drive is indiscriminant) and depends upon that individual for a response in order to intensify or even maintain. Fixating on my first husband—sticking to him no matter what his response, not being able to say goodbye to him —almost killed me. I had to shift the focus of my sexual passion to another and another and another in order to receive the spark that would rekindle and sustain me. That could have been dangerous; I was lucky. But with the urge to create, the intense passion to “make something,” there was always another outlet, another fulfillment just within reach. My children, teaching, and Nimrod, the journal I edited for so many years, eased my hunger, provided a way to participate and delight in something always changing and growing. from The passion to give birth to and grow with my children has, I believe, been expressed in previous chapters. I loved every aspect of having children conception, to the four births, three of which I watched in a carefully placed mirror at the foot of the hospital delivery room bed: May 6, 1957, birth of Leslie Ringold; November 8, 1959, birth of John Ringold; August 2, 1961: birth of Jim Ringold; July 27, 1964: birth of Suzanne Ringold (Harman).

  • Josephine Jacobsen
    Josephine Jacobsen Last Poems and Lost Poems In 1995, at the age of 87, Josephine Jacobsen published her last full- length collection of poetry, In the Crevice of Time: New and Collected Poems. The book was nominated for a National Book Award, one of the many honors that had come to her late in life (others included the Lenore Marshall Prize, the Poets’ Prize, the Shelley Memorial Award, the fellowship of the Academy of American Poets, the Robert Frost Medal, and election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters). With some difficulty—her eyesight was failing, and she could no longer type nor easily hold a pen—she continued to write a poem or two a year for the next several years (her last poem, “The Companions,” came to her in a dream and was dictated to her friend and secretary Charlotte Blaylock one morning). When death finally overtook her in 2003, at the age of 94, she left a handful of uncollected poems, including seven that had appeared in The New Yorker. It was a precious sheaf, admittedly too thin to publish as a book, though as her friend and one-time editor (I had helped her put together her book of occasional prose, The Instant of Knowing, in 1996), I wanted her to have—what should I call it?—poetic closure, wanted that handful of poems to come together in a final form. And then, as fate or luck would have it, a box of personal memorabilia and manuscripts turned up at an auction. The box contained family photos, personal letters, cancelled checks, and short stories and poems in typescript dating from the mid 1930s to the early 1940s.
