  • Jordan Davis on Ted Berrigan
    of the central aesthetic struggles of twentieth-century poetry in English, the attempt to resolve the tension between closed and open forms. Koch admired the poems of William Carlos Williams for being so “odd and exciting;” they “catch the music of a man alive in his time.” Koch’s poems aspire to do the same, and more often than not they achieve that sound. It’s the sound of a man happy to be alive despite the world’s terrors, and who is awake to that feeling. I don’t think readers of poetry will ever tire of it; I suspect it will continue to convey something real about their own experience. It’s the sound of a man reaching into history without embarrassment or sense of piety, to draw forth whatever elements of poetic form are best suited to his occasions—from tight rhyming stanzas, to heroic couplets, to long and short free verse lines, to experimental serial structures—cheerfully ripping out the lining of yesterday’s attitudes and shaking off the lint of a persistent yet tired idiom. The spirit of poetry lives in Koch’s work, but we return to the work because it is alive with the spirit of Koch himself. If he started to write his first real poems by thwarting the expectations of literary convention in 1952, he continued to write into the twenty-first century by escaping the expectations of New York School poetics, in its tertiary generation. I discovered Koch’s work late, in the mid-nineties, with the poem “One Train May Hide Another,” and the book from which it takes its name; finding the single volumes that preceded it, many of them out of print, was no small discovery.

Interview of Alice Notley 1 Interview of Alice Notley David Reckford AUTHOR'S NOTE This interview took place in Alice Notley’s apartment in Paris, in June 2018. 1 Alice Notley is a major American poet of our day, who has been living in Paris since the early 1990s, when she moved there with her second husband, the English poet, Doug Oliver (1937-2000), because Paris was where his professorial career was taking him. At that point Alice Notley was finding New York less amenable and was keen to go somewhere else. When he died in 2000, Alice Notley was sufficiently settled into Paris to remain there. 2 Although she is a Parisian now, Alice Notley was also a key figure on the Lower Manhattan poetry scene particularly of the late 1970s and the 1980s. Her first husband, Ted Berrigan, was an equally charismatic figure among an influential group of downtown poets.

  • Lee Harwood the INDEPENDENT, 5TH VERSION., Aug 14Odt
    ' Poet and climber, Lee Harwood is a pivotal figure in what’s still termed the British Poetry Revival. He published widely since 1963, gaining awards and readers here and in America. His name evokes pioneering publishers of the last half-century. His translations of poet Tristan Tzara were published in diverse editions. Harwood enjoyed a wide acquaintance among the poets of California, New York and England. His poetry was hailed by writers as diverse as Peter Ackroyd, Anne Stevenson, Edward Dorn and Paul Auster . Lee Harwood was born months before World War II in Leicester. An only child to parents Wilfred and Grace, he lived in Chertsey. He survived a German air raid, his bedroom window blown in across his bed one night as he slept. His grandmother Pansy helped raise him from the next street while his young maths teacher father served in the war and on to 1947 in Africa. She and Grace's father inspired in Lee a passion for stories. Delicate, gentle, candid and attentive - Lee called his poetry stories. Iain Sinclair described him as 'full-lipped, fine-featured : clear (blue) eyes set on a horizon we can't bring into focus. Harwood's work, from whatever era, is youthful and optimistic: open.' Lee met Jenny Goodgame, in the English class above him at Queen Mary College, London in 1958. They married in 1961. They published single issues of Night Scene, Night Train, Soho and Horde. Lee’s first home was Brick Lane in Aldgate East, then Stepney where their son Blake was born. He wrote 'Cable Street', a prose collage of location and anti fascist testimonial.

  • LANGUAGE POETRY Entry for the Greenwood Encyclopedia of American Poetry (2005)
    Craig Dworkin: LANGUAGE POETRY Entry for The Greenwood Encyclopedia of American Poetry (2005) The discrepancy between the number of people who hold an opinion about Language Poetry and those who have actually read Language Poetry is perhaps greater than for any other literary phenomenon of the later twentieth century. For just one concrete indicator of this gap, a primer on "The Poetry Pantheon" in The New York Times Magazine (19 February, 1995) listed Paul Hoover, Ann Lauterbach, and Leslie Scalapino as the most representative “Language Poets” — a curious choice given that neither Hoover nor Lauterbach appears in any of the defining publications of Language Poetry, and that Scalapino, though certainly associated with Language Poetry, was hardly a central figure. Indeed, only a quarter-century after the phrase was first used, it has often come to serve as an umbrella term for any kind of self-consciously "postmodern" poetry or to mean no more than some vaguely imagined stylistic characteristics — parataxis, dryly apodictic abstractions, elliptical modes of disjunction — even when they appear in works that would actually seem to be fundamentally opposed to the radical poetics that had originally given such notoriety to the name “Language Poetry” in the first place. The term "language poetry" may have first been used by Bruce Andrews, in correspondence from the early 1970s, to distinguish poets such as Vito Hannibal Acconci, Carl Andre, Clark Coolidge, and Jackson Mac Low, whose writing challenged the vatic aspirations of “deep image” poetry. In the tradition of Gertrude Stein and Louis Zukofksy, such poetry found precedents in only the most anomalous contemporary writing, such as John Ashbery's The Tennis Court Oath, Aram Saroyan's Cofee Coffe, Joseph Ceravolo's Fits of Dawn, or Jack Kerouac's Old Angel Midnight.

  • Part of His History 1944-2020 by Steve Clay Originally Published in the Brooklyn Rail Dec 20 – Jan 21, 2021 Issue
    IN MEMORIAM Lewis Warsh: Part of His History 1944-2020 By Steve Clay Originally published in The Brooklyn Rail Dec 20 – Jan 21, 2021 Issue Working with Lewis Warsh was always an effortless pleasure and indistinguishable from our friendship. I first met him in Brooklyn in 1995, introduced by Mitch Highfill. We spoke about his archive and collection of rare books he wanted to sell, and arranged to meet at his apartment. During that visit I looked at his treasures, among which was a small book he'd assembled by hand when he found a set of black and white photographs taken in 1968, primarily on Bustin's Island, Maine and in Bolinas, California. The photographs were classic family-style vacation snapshots of Lewis and Anne Waldman, Ted, Sandy, and Kate Berrigan, Tom, Angelica, and baby Juliet Clark, Joanne Kyger, Jack Boyce, and others. Lewis had mounted the photos into a store- bought hardcover photo book, then typed captions and placed them across from the pictures: The front cover read Bustin's Island '68. I immediately proposed that Granary Books publish Portrait of Lewis Warsh, pencil on paper by Phong H. Bui. an edition. I was impressed with the spontaneity of the photographs and the sincerity of the writing. They gave me a private glimpse into a community of poets whose work and stories I knew but was now seeing in their formative years as friends and collaborators. It's a remarkably lucid portrait of a time and place. The captions, written 28 years after the fact, brought perspective to the changes during the intervening years.

  • A Serial Biography)1 Tom Raworth's Logbook (1976
    1 Logbook: Against Prose ‘What I want is a kaleidoscope, not a telescope’ (A Serial Biography)1 Tom Raworth’s Logbook (1976) is one of the most stylistically original and mentally acrobatic examples of a fugitive genre in twentieth-century British poetry: the prose poem sequence. Even within Raworth’s own, formally various oeuvre, prose poetry is a relative rarity. There are a handful of other pieces to be found in the five-hundred-plus pages of his Collected Poems (2003), including one other sequence, ‘Pretense’ (1979). In 2009, these were joined by There Are Few People Who Put On Any Clothes (starring it), a lost-and-found manuscript from 1972. Logbook itself, according to its final page, was written November–December 1970 in Colchester, England, where Raworth had recently studied Latin American literature and literary translation at the University of Essex. The previous year saw the publication of A Serial Biography, a fragmentary memoir of incisive sentences and self-enquiry. In 1971, he would conduct the correspondence with Ed Dorn that became ‘Letters from Yaddo’ (1987). The letters demonstrate his gift for prose as wittily lateral and improvisational as his poems – Marjorie Perloff considers the whole ‘essentially a poetic text’, although the author himself chose to include it in his collected prose, Earn Your Milk (2009). Logbook, ‘Letters from Yaddo’ and ‘Notebook’, a journal-like sequence in verse and prose dated January–February 1971, were intended to be published together in the States as a Frontier Press book called Cancer, but this never materialised, resulting in their chronologically dispersed appearance instead.

  • Tom Raworth: Collected Poems
    Times Literary Supplement, 30 May 2003 Tom Raworth COLLECTED POEMS 576pp. Carcanet. Paperback £16.95 ISBN 1 85754 624 5 For more than thirty years, Tom Raworth has been literally the Odd Man Out of contemporary British poetry. He is, for example, the “1” in Emmanuel Hocquard and Claude Royet-Journoud’s important French anthology 21 + 1 (Delta 1986)—an anthology that includes twenty-one contemporary American poets and a single British one who seems to fit the more radical American model. The common wisdom is that, as an heir to the aesthetic of Black Mountain, Raworth, whose closest poet-friend was the late Ed Dorn, “belongs” to the U.S., where he has, over the years, held many residencies and lectureships. On his home turf (Raworth lives in Cambridge), the response has been much cooler, although the rare critical essays on his work have been by English academics like John Barrell and Colin McCabe. Carcanet’s new Collected Poems is thus a milestone, a gathering, almost 600 pages in length, of the poet’s distinctive lyric from the early1960s to the present, from epigrams and sonnets to love songs and travel poems, to burlesque and found text, to the long columnar poems like Ace and Writing, to the late verbal-visual texts of Catacoustics. Indeed, since Raworth’s earlier chapbooks, many of them illustrated and designed by the author himself, are now collector’s items, more often that not out of print, the Carcanet volume should be an eye-opener, persuading British readers that they have a lion in their living room, even if an oddly gentle and unassuming one.

  • Lee Harwood Obituary. Final Version the INDEPENDENT
    Biographer to the poet John Clare, Iain Sinclair was minded of Lee Harwood, 'full-lipped, fine-featured : clear eyes set on a horizon we can't bring into focus. Harwood's work, from whatever era, is youthful and optimistic: open.' Poet. Worker. British Rail guard, Better Books manager, forester, museum attendant, stone mason, exam invigilator, theatre dresser, bus conductor, postal clerk (a GPO letter framed in his bathroom commends Harwood's courage diffusing an armed raid at Western Road Post Office, Hove). Jobs that may appear modest entailed craft and motion, and a circular motion which matched his way of walking in the world with tenderness, and locally up onto the South Downs to see a rare orchid. Lee Harwood was raised during wartime near Weybridge in Chertsey. As a child his bedroom window was blown in by a German bomb exploding nearby. His poetry typified his life. Ascetic, delicate, gentle and candid : attentive and careful. He read English at Queen Mary College, London. Raising a young son Blake with Jenny Goodgame Harwood wrote 'Cable Street', a prose poem of place : Stepney with anti-Fascist testimony. His eye for Surrealism led him, at 24, to seek the Dada poet Tristan Tzara in Paris in 1963. He gained Tzara's blessing for his translations : a commitment which spanned 25 years of publications. The American poet John Ashberry had already lived in Paris for ten years when he met Harwood in 1965. The impact on Harwood's poetry on meeting Ashberry was immediate. Their relationship triggered a lifelong friendship. By 1967 he'd settled in Brighton, then in Hove.
