    Rogan’s List 2019 Greetings WFU parents! Fond thanks to the many of you who recommended this book or that movie or the new restaurant in your home city. Keep ‘em coming! Parents who’ve seen this previously skip this graf, but if you’re new to this odd enterprise: three inspirations converged a dozen-plus years ago. As a still-singleton, felt a response was necessary to my expanding circle of married-with-kids friends’ annual Holiday Letters, tinged with a certain “here’s how life works”-ness. And I loved pal Drew Littman’s roundup of his fave movies/books of the year (Drew also originated the B game/A game you’ll see on next page). Third, I grew up with Roger Angell’s annual New Yorker rhyming ‘poem’ of boldface names, & added my own pale imitation after Angell stopped…then NYer’s Ian Frazier picked up the tradition. Shifted therefore to a ‘found poem’ of lines from songs by millennial/rising-generation musicians; this year’s is after the best-of music page below. Speaking of poems, a stanza from one long beloved, WS Merwin’s To the New Year: so this is the sound of you here and now whether or not anyone hears it this is where we have come with our age our knowledge such as it is and our hopes such as they are invisible before us untouched and still possible On to my favorites of 2019. To adapt a venerable Welsh saying, may the best artistic creations of the decade just ending be the worst of the next.

  • Boston Review — Marjorie Perloff: Poetry on the Brink
    Boston Review — Marjorie Perloff: Poetry on the Brink http://www.bostonreview.net/BR37.3/marjorie_perloff_poetry_l... MAY/JUNE 2012 Poetry on the Brink Reinventing the Lyric Marjorie Perloff SAFETY FIRST brief fast has made me dangerously thirsty for juice. —Craig Dworkin, Motes (2011) Dejà vu? What happens to poetry when everybody is a poet? In a recent lecture that poses this question, Jed Rasula notes: The Barbara Stumm colleges and universities that offer graduate degrees in poetry employ about 1,800 faculty members to support the cause. But these are only 177 of the 458 institutions that teach creative writing. Taking those into account, the faculty dedicated to creative writing swells to more than 20,000. All these people must comply with the norms for faculty in those institutions, filing annual reports of their activities, in which the most important component is publication. With that in mind, I don’t need to spell out the truly exorbitant numbers involved. In a positive light, it has sanctioned a surfeit of small presses . to say nothing of all the Web-zines. What makes Rasula’s cautionary tale so sobering is that the sheer number of poets now plying their craft inevitably ensures moderation and safety. The national (or even transnational) demand for a certain kind of prize-winning, “well-crafted” poem—a poem that the New Yorker would see fit to print and that would help its author get one of the “good jobs” advertised by the Association of Writers & Writing Programs—has produced an extraordinary uniformity. Whatever the poet’s ostensible subject—and here identity politics has produced a degree of variation, so that we have Latina poetry, Asian American poetry, queer poetry, the poetry of the disabled, and so on—the poems you will read in American Poetry Review or similar publications will, with rare exceptions, exhibit the following 1 of 25 5/2/12 11:39 AM Boston Review — Marjorie Perloff: Poetry on the Brink http://www.bostonreview.net/BR37.3/marjorie_perloff_poetry_l..

Perhaps the clearest line extends, as Marjorie Perloff might trace it, from the early modernism of Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and William Carlos Williams to Objectivism, through the Black Mountain poets and Language poetry, and to current figures such as John Ashbery, Charles Bernstein, and those whom Stephen Burt has termed “elliptical” poets. If there is or was a tradition of the American avant-garde, Lerner would seem to belong to it, and the theories of referen- tiality and unoriginality posited by Ron Silliman or Allen Gross- man that he cites in this interview seem explicatory. But this genealogy is partial. One is likely to find, in Lerner’s poetry and prose alike, traces of or allusions to Leo Tolstoy, Ludwig Witt- genstein, or Walt Whitman; or quotations from Walter Benjamin, Jean Baudrillard, or Jacques Derrida colliding with cliche´s from TV melodrama; or oblique citations of theories of images and simulacra, not as explanatory or exegetical concepts, but as fig- ures for the acts of poesis and consumption.
