  • 2015 23Rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
    2015 23rd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace|New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| 5 The 2015 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their works. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease (1943 – 2014) for her foundational support. Many thanks are also due to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 6 I believe that poetry is an action in which there enter as equal partners solitude and solidarity, emotion and action, the nearness to oneself, the nearness to mankind and to the secret manifestations of nature. – Pablo Neruda Towards the Splendid City Nobel Lecture, 1971 WELCOME to the 2015 Poets House Showcase! Each summer at Poets House, we celebrate all of the poetry published in the previous year in an all-inclusive exhibition and festival of readings from new work. In this year’s Showcase, we are very proud to present over 3,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia projects, which represent the work of over 700 publishers, from commercial publishers to micropresses, both domestic and foreign. For twenty-three years, the annual Showcase has provided foundational support for our 60,000-volume library by helping us keep our collection current and relevant. With each Showcase, Poets House—one of the most extensive poetry collections in the nation—continues to build this comprehensive poetry record of our time.

Kastely CWP Director Kathy Smathers Assistant Director Shatera Dixon Program Coordinator 713.743.3015 [email protected] This year we welcome two new and one visiting faculty member—all are exciting writers; all are compelling teachers. 2006-2007 Edition Every effort has been made to include faculty, students, and alumni news. 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.

    Classic Ransom Ryan Wilson The Hopkins Review, Volume 9, Number 1, Winter 2016 (New Series), pp. 6-27 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/thr.2016.0016 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/609736 Accessed 13 Apr 2017 23:42 GMT Ryan Wilson CLASSIC RANSOM n a 1948 issue of The Sewanee Review celebrating John Crowe Ransom’s sixtieth birthday, Randall Jarrell remarked: “it is easy to see that his poetry will always be cared for; since he has written Ipoems that are perfectly realized and occasionally almost perfect— poems that the hypothetical generations of the future will be reading page by page with Wyatt, Campion, Marvell, and Mother Goose.” No doubt, Mr. Jarrell’s estimation of Ransom’s work proves just, but his prognostication has proven dubious. In 1991, Brad Leithauser lament- ed that “for some time now Ransom has been on the wane,” and more recently Dave Smith has noted, regarding the poems’ lack of availabil- ity, that “there is now cause to assert that their appeal, even perhaps their existence, is a matter of some doubt.” Worse still, even among those who “purport to admire them,” as Anthony Hecht complained in 1994, the poems “are still read with a shocking carelessness.” With the Un-Gyve Press recently publishing The Collected Poems of John Crowe Ransom, a volume that not only restores Ransom’s poems to print after nearly a quarter-century but also brings all Ransom’s poems together for the very first time, the matter of the poems’ existence has been resolved, but the matter of their appeal has not, and this is our concern.
