The trick is to write from the experience of the disaster without writing about the disaster so specifically that the poem ages poorly. Poetry and emotive journalism are not the same thing.<BR/><BR/>James Merrill once said in an interview that a problem with writing about current events is that "when the tide of feeling goes out, the language begins to stink." I have always appreciated that view and the Merrilly twist to the phrase.<BR/><BR/>Alan ContrerasAlan Contrerashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151043022057689513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-58293933438081439862007-07-04T03:19:00.000-06:002007-07-04T03:19:00.000-06:00Dear Reginald,Excellent post, and I liked your poe...Dear Reginald,<BR/><BR/>Excellent post, and I liked your poem, which takes interesting risks with language, humanising (or at least making figurative and bringing down to earth) those large abstractions beloved of tabloid journalists and politicians and feared by many writers, myself included. If there is an arena for such risk-taking, this, of course, is it. The atrocity warped language along with so much else; "ground zero" for god's sake! <BR/><BR/>I love the song/refrain, and the last couplet, which really DOES bring everything down to earth. <BR/><BR/>The subject is a raw wound, difficult to know how to begin to approach, if approach it one must. Deborah Garrison managed it beautifully in 'I Saw You Walking'. Heaney was serendipitously involved in translating Horace at around the time of 9/11; he might not have made an attempt at it otherwise. He came up with the brilliant opening line: "Anything can happen."Mark Granierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899629187771913398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-27157930570700493722007-07-03T17:15:00.000-06:002007-07-03T17:15:00.000-06:00Dear Mr. Shepherd, Ongoing thanks for your efforts...Dear Mr. Shepherd, Ongoing thanks for your efforts.<BR/><BR/>There should be no theme and its details which is unapproved to explore. My own guiding viewpoint however does not easily lean towards allowing personal motives the right of commanding reason to rule theme. I think a strong distinction could be made between work which either does or doesn't act out this tendency. <BR/> You have written in the past of the long poem. I can't imagine the event of this theme outside of requiring massive proportions. It being reduceable only in a sense of proximity and mathematical measurement. <BR/><BR/> The distance from which history is confronted is seen in the rightness of relations expressed,like a mileage marker traveling on the highway, or distance figures on the paper pages of Rand-Mcnally or a swatch of brown/grey and green partly hidden by patches of clouds in a satelite photo.

There is no lesson for us to learn there except that we are all dust and to dust we will return-whether ignorance lights a tomb or whether destiny crowns us with the inevitable.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111322434232094665noreply@blogger.com
