Henri Cole Awarded Jackson Poetry Prize
April 5, 2012 Contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rachel Schuder Development and Marketing Manager Poets & Writers, Inc. (212) 226-3586, x201, [email protected] HENRI COLE AWARDED JACKSON POETRY PRIZE New York, NY – Poets & Writers, Inc. has announced that Henri Cole is the sixth winner of the Jackson Poetry Prize. The $50,000 prize is given annually to honor an American poet of exceptional talent who deserves wider recognition. The award is designed to provide what all poets need: time and the encouragement to write. Mr. Cole was selected by three esteemed judges—the poets Louise Glück, Marilyn Hacker, and James Tate. There was no application process. Poets were nominated by a panel of their peers who remain anonymous. The judges’ citation for Mr. Cole reads as follows: “Henri Cole has the voluptuary’s fastidious preoccupation with sensation— rather, say, an almost Japanese vocation for connoisseurship. But what is most striking in this work is its composure. Cole’s poems do not strain for attention; for all their casual, anecdotal worldliness and natural diction, they project an eerie gravity. The poems’ shimmering, enigmatic tranquility coexists with intense feeling: they are clear without being stodgy, striking in their poise and delicacy and formal beauty without seeming, ever, mere exquisite diversions. He is an artist of the greatest gifts.” Henri Cole was born in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1956 and raised in Virginia. He has published eight collections of poetry, including Touch (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2011), and Middle Earth (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2004), which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry.

LeRud iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Elizabeth J. LeRud Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2017 Title: Antagonistic Cooperation: Prose in American Poetry Poets and critics have long agreed that any perceived differences between poetry and prose are not essential to those modes: both are comprised of words, both may be arranged typographically in various ways—in lines, in paragraphs of sentences, or otherwise—and both draw freely from the complete range of literary styles and tools, like rhythm, sound patterning, focalization, figures, imagery, narration, or address. Yet still, in modern American literature, poetry and prose remain entrenched as a binary, one just as likely to be invoked as fact by writers and scholars as by casual readers. I argue that this binary is not only prevalent but also productive for modern notions of poetry, the root of many formal innovations of the past two centuries, like the prose poem and free verse. -

Geoffrey Grec/C Ph.D. Professor of English Sarita Cannon, Ph.D. Associate Professor of English ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND REPRESENTATION IN THE WORKS OF ISHMAEL REED Jason Andrew JackI San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis demonstrates the ways in which Ishmael Reed proposes incisive countemarratives to the hegemonic master narratives that perpetuate degrading misportrayals of Afro American culture in the historical record and mainstream news and entertainment media of the United States. Many critics and readers have responded reductively to Reed’s work by hastily dismissing his proposals, thereby disallowing thoughtful critical engagement with Reed’s views as put forth in his fiction and non fiction writing. The study that follows asserts that Reed’s corpus deserves more thoughtful critical and public recognition than it has received thus far. To that end, I argue that a critical re-exploration of his fiction and non-fiction writing would yield profound contributions to the ongoing national dialogue on race relations in America. -

James Merrill: a Postmodern Poet? Yes & No (With a New Poem by James Merrill)
ANDREA MARIANI James Merrill: A Postmodern Poet? Yes & No (With a New Poem by James Merrill) Scripts for the Pageant, so far the most extraordinary and contro versial of Merrill's texts, which was published in 1980 as the third part of his monumental poem The Changing Light at Sandover, is itself divided into three sections: "Yes," "&," and "No." 1 The reader, however much puzzled by the heterogeneity of Merrill's materials and linguistic strategies, cannot but acknowledge the final message of the "pageant": men, their lives, science, poetry, the "supernatural" powers which acted in order to dictate hundreds of ambiguous and contradictory truths, all belong to a universe which is both positive and negative: Yes and no came to be especially telling, the more I realized how important it was—not only for the poem but for my mental bal ance—to remain of two minds about everything that was happening. One didn't want to be merely skeptical or merely credulous. 2 In his amazement, the "chosen" poet is forced to see and, at the same time, is frightened by what he sees; "therefore, singing, he tells" (Heidegger 505). Ten years before the publication of the trilogy, Merrill was already aware of the full implication of this dualism; in an interview with David Kalstone based on a discussion of the poem "Yannina" (Divine Comedies, FF9 327-31), he concludes: People are always asking, Was it real? Did it happen? . As if a yes-or no answer would settle the question. Was it really Yannina I went to? Was my companion real or imaginary? I can only say yes and no to questions like this. -

Poetic Patriarch The singular Richard Wilbur displays a “Mozartean felicity” with verse. During the extended World War II battle of Monte Cassino, Richard Wilbur spent a lot of time in a foxhole. The Germans had pinned down his army division in a valley, firing their 88s from the hills above. “As Waugh said, a lot of war is just waiting around,” says Wilbur, who used that waiting time to read Edgar Allan Poe, among others, and to write poems. Years later, he observed that if there were no atheists in foxholes, there were plenty of poets. “Poems were a way of putting your world in order, a bit,” he explains. Wilbur, A.M. ’47, JF ’50, sent one of those battlefield poems to Wilbur’s Collected Poems 1943-2004, critic Adam Kirsch ’97 wrote, his wife, Charlee, who showed it to a friend who was an editor at “No other twentieth-century American poet, with the possible the Saturday Evening Post.

A Tradition of Excellence Continues

Items not included will be published in the next edition. As we begin another academic year, I am struck by how much change the Program has endured in the past year. After the departure of several faculty members the previous year, we have hired Alexander Parsons and Mat John- son as new faculty members in fiction into tenure track positions, and we also hired Liz Waldner as a visitor in poetry for the year. Our colleague, Daniel Stern, passed away this Spring, and he will be missed. Adam Zagajew- ski will take a visiting position in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago this year, and that Committee will most likely become his new academic home. Ed Hirsh submitted his letter of resignation this Spring, and although Ed had been in New York at the Guggenheim for the last five years, he had still officially been a member of the Creative Writing Program on leave. And Antonya Nelson returned from leave this Spring to continue her teaching at UH. So there has been much change. -
