Carolyn Forche facing up to atrocities An interview by Daina Savage,September 1996. Carolyn Forche doesn't shy away from atrocity.
http://www.rambles.net/carolyn_forche.html

Extractions: Carolyn Forche doesn't shy away from atrocity. The power she wields makes the political horrifyingly real. Hers is a vital voice, bearing witness to the sins of the world and showing how people live through it. Her latest collection is The Angel of History . She says the poems in it are less about experiences and more "consciousness of passing through them." "I'm attempting to show the voice of the soul through this," she said during a phone interview from her Maryland home. Forche seems to speak of her own voice in the poem "The Notebook of Uprising": "You loved the shabbiness of the world: countries invaded, cities bombed, houses whose roofs have fallen in, / women who have lost their men, orphans, amputees, the war wounded. / What you did not love any longer was a world that had lost its soul." "Yes, that's an important line," she said. "It's a deep spiritual worry that I have." She offers haunting images: a blank-eyed boy aimlessly pedaling a bicycle with a naked broken doll in its basket, crows descending on a child to pull hair for their nests, a baby crawling over its dead mother seeking milk. These she seems to draw into her, embracing them with a kind of maternal love. It's the search for the world's soul that is more troubling.

Extractions: As a parent in a transracial adoption, I am continually frustrated by the anorexic selection of role models for my African-American child in children's literature. I try to surround my child with deafening messages of self-love and self-worth and celebrate the beautiful brown hue! This book takes passages of the bible and translates it into self-empowering beliefs for a child of any color. The illustrations are warm and well-done, the text is simple, but poetic. The book itself is sturdy and can take a beating. I adore this book. It cost a little more than most other children's books, but it's well worth it! I love this book. My favorite uncle used to say that all people are God's masterpieces because God sometimes mixes colors to make bonus colors and more beautiful people. "God picked out our colors," this very astute and loving man used to say. "He wanted more beauty for the world so He was always thinking up more beautiful colors to add to it."

The Face And Place Of Poetry
facing up to atrocities An interview by Daina Savage, carolyn forche doesn't shy away from atrocity. The power she wields makes the political horrifyingly real.
http://www.csmonitor.com/atcsmonitor/specials/poetry/p-forche.html

Extractions: April 20, 1994 Steven Ratiner All journeys are wise - when viewed with enough time and distance. Looking back on life's passages, the wrong turns and chance meetings, even dead-end streets can assume a place in a clear and purposeful progression. It's in the day-to-day navigation that an individual's inner compass and determination are tested. And for an artist, the sum of those daily choices, both mundane and monumental, leave an indelible mark on the character of the individual and the content of the creation. Her literary career had the most auspicious of beginnings; her first book, "Gathering the Tribes," won the Yale Younger Poets Award in 1976. A Guggenheim Fellowship followed shortly after. Trying to work her way through writer's block, she began to translate the poetry of Claribel Alegria, a Salvadoran poet living in Spain. She was invited to spend the summer in Deya, Majorca, at Alegrs home. In 1977, Forche was a young poet making her first trip away from the United States. Her friend, the writer Terrence Des Pres, insisted she make a little pilgrimage during her brief stopover in France. "Terrence said, `when you get to Paris, go to Notre Dame ... and walk across the quay and look for a black iron gate and a white stairwell."' He would not tell her beforehand what she'd find. Dragging her huge suitcase down the shadowy steps, she found herself in "the memorial to the 200,000 people who were deported from France during the shoah. There were white rooms with stone walls, poetry carved into the walls, different poets who had been in the camps. And there was a tunnel with 200,000 tiny beads of light embedded in its walls, one for each of the lives.... And you could hear the river rushing past the windows. I stayed there for a long time."

Extractions: Newman University, Wichita, KS by David Wright Poet, human rights activist, and professor Carolyn Forché has been widely recognized for her ability to join her poetic sensibilities with her commitment to social and political change. Some of that recognition has come in the form of literary awards: The Yale Younger Poets Selection for Gathering the Tribes (1975); The Lannan Award for The Country Between Us (1981); and The Los Angeles Times Book Award for The Angel of History (1994). In 1994 she also edited and published Against Forgetting: Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness , a selection of work from 145 poets from around the world who, as says Forché in the introduction, endured conditions of extremity during the twentieth-century. For her combination of writing, editorial work and ongoing activism, Forché also received the 1998 Edita and Ira Morris Hiroshima Foundation Award for promoting peace in a cultural field. Such recognition has not come without criticism. Forchés critics have ranged from the Reagan administration to literary reviewers and critics who see her refusal to separate poetry and politics as damaging to the quality of both.
