    Extractions: October 3-6, 1983 Carolyn Forche Since the 1976 publication of her first book of poems, Gathering the Tribes , Carolyn Forche has been a major new voice in American poetry. Her work as a journalist and human-rights investigator in Europe and Central America led to her second poetry collection, The Country Between Us , which was the Lamont Poetry Selection of 1981 and received the coveted Di Castagnola award from the Poetry Society of America. Jacobo Timerman wrote, "Latin America needs a poet to replace the man who represented in his writings the beauty, sufferings, fears and dreams of this continent: Pablo Neruda. Carolyn Forche is that voice." Irvin Ehrenpreis said, "I do not know another poet writing in English today whose work has the force and drama of Carolyn Forche's." Larry Levis observed, Forche's subject, El Salvador, is one that could have been easily sentimentalized or sensationalized by a lesser poet. And yet it is spoken of here with honesty and tenderness, even amid its tortures." Denise Levertov remarked, "Here's a poet who's doing what I want to do." On Thursday afternoon Forche will discuss poetry and answer questions from the audience. Her evening poetry reading will conclude the 1983 literary festival. [extracted from 1983 brochure]

    Extractions: October 2-5, 1989 Gathering the Tribes , won the Yale Younger Poets Award in 1975, and immediately established her as an important young poet. Between 1978 and 1980, she travelled, documenting human rights conditions in El Salvador; upon her return to this country, she published The Country Between Us , in which many of the poems are the result of her Salvadoran experiences. That book won the Lamont Poetry Award from the Academy of American Poets. It also established her as a spokesperson for what has come to be called "poetry as witness," which is based on her belief that poetry should speak to "the most serious questions of society. Poets must not trivialize human concerns...writers face demands on them to act as voices." Other works include her translation of Flowers from the Volcano , poems by exiled Salvadoran poet Claribel Alegria, 1982, and the text for El Salvador: Work of Thirty Photographers , 1983. Her translations of The Selected Poems of Robert Desnos will appear later this year. Her essays, book reviews, and articles have appeared in

    Extractions: Newman University, Wichita, KS by David Wright 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 : What you would like to ask? David Wright : In the talk you gave last night, you commented that you grow out of a community of artists and thinkers that you called “archivists of the incomprehensible.” I like that term, but I wonder in what way is it a community in any recognizable sense? I mean, it’s a community in the sense that these folks have common concerns or have common experiences of extremity, but when I think of community I think of it on a more knowable plane of existence, something more daily, in the way you would think maybe of a neighborhood or a church or a family. How do you think of community? CF: My sense of community was very coherent when I was a child because I grew up in a rural Catholic area. Our lives were bounded by the liturgical year, and we attended school with the same 82 students for 12 years. I spent most of my childhood in the same house, in the same neighborhood, which is where I first began writing poetry.

    Extractions: The Literary Spirituality Review Gathering the Tribes The Country Between Us . The book is bracingly frank as it evokes and bears witness to the violence of the 1970s and 1980s in El Salvador. Forche’s most anthologized piece, “The Colonel,” relays an evening Against Forgetting: Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness , and in her most deliberately complex book, The Angel of History (1994). Both books offer a response to what she sees as the artificial separation of politics and poetry. Against Forgetting does so by collecting an enormous (though, as all anthologies must, a limited) range of voices, styles, political settings, showing through sheer enormity the vast uses to which poetry might be put in situations of extremity. The Angel of History Where the book succeeds most, in my judgment, is where a single voice converses with one the poem’s speaker, a voice like that of a Hiroshima survivor in

    Extractions: March/April 1996 Issue No one has worked harder to bring the brutal extremities of political life in the 20th century into the orbit of American poetry than Carolyn Forche, poet, translator, anthologist, and human rights activist. Her 1982 volume, The Country Between Us, commemorates two years spent working with human rights advocates in El Salvador; it contains some of the most powerful poems of political violence and political commitment ever written in the United States. Balancing art and activism, she has lived in Paris, Beirut, and South Africa; has translated exiled Salvadoran poet Claribel Alegria, surrealist Robert Desnos, and 19th-century French visionary Arthur Rimbaud. Her 1993 anthology, Against Forgetting, gathers the work of poets around the world who were imprisoned, tortured, murdered, or otherwise tormented by the forces of 20th-century political darkness.

    Extractions: Of all the literary arts, poetry is undoubtedly the one most suited to the spoken word, often in fact written for "the stage" as much as for "the page". Always popular, but hard to find in the past, the recording of poetry is now experiencing something of a boom. The Poetry Library is unique in having a wide range of poetry on cassette, record, video and CD, all of which can be listen to and viewed at special audio booths, and many of which can be borrowed by members. Much of the material is international, and includes an impressively large range of American poetry not available elsewhere in the U.K. Poetry on vinyl has become very rare and many of the Library's records are now collectors' items. Poetry on video is rare, but nonetheless we have built up a collection of over 200 titles. They include many television programmes donated to us by their producers, such as The South Bank Show, Words on Film, Poetry in Motion, Up and Coming and several programmes by Tony Harrison produced by Peter Symes of BBC 2. Together they are responsible for groundbreaking work with poetry and television. More pioneering work in this area was initiated by the Royal Festival Hall's Education team, who have been bringing together poets, filmmakers and young people since 1994 to create short poem films. These have involved poets such as Matthew Sweeney, Don Paterson, and Lavinia Greenlaw; they can be viewed only at the Poetry Library. As well as unusual material like this, we also stock videos and cassettes for children as well as very useful classroom material for teachers.

    Extractions: Lindsey Altman Ourselves or Nothing The Country Between Us , she ends the book with a long poem dedicated to Terrence Des Pres. Des Pres was a poet and author who has written two books and several essays. The Survivor: An Anatomy of Life in the Death Camps was his more famous work, and told the story of the survivors of Nazi death camps during World War II. Praises and Dispraises: Poetry and Politics, the 20 th Century is Des Pres’s book of poems dealing with the controversies of political poetry. Carolyn Forche spent time in El Salvador while a revolution was taking place. Like Des Pres, Forche also had stories to tell of the survivors. In fact, she herself was a survivor. Their writing tells both of their stories, which are very similar. Survivor v). Frederick Busch, an educator and personal friend of Des Pres, wrote an article on him and was quoted to say, "I had always thought that Terrence’s work had much to do with his own need to survive…" (Busch, 3). Des Pres’s own need to survive was portrayed in his writing. Forche does the same thing in her writing. In "Ourselves or Nothing" she says, "You wrote too of Theresienstadt, that word that ran screaming into my girlhood, lifting its grey wool dress, the smoke in its violent plumes and feathers, the dark wormy heart of the human desire to die," (Forche, 56). Poets are stereotypically thought of as drunk and depressed people who do all their work in the dark. Maybe it’s that what they’re writing about is so dreary they come across the same way.

    Extractions: Craig Korvela The Country Between Us The Survivor: An Anatomy of Life in the Death Camps. He had written this literary novel upon witnessing the tragedies occurring during the Holocaust of World War II, an event that we understand to be one of the most inhumane and gruesome events of human recollection. The Holocaust intrigued him and captured his mind and soul. Besides completion of his novel he taught at Colgate University a literature course on the Holocaust. And from his experiences, as summarized of Des Pres in the Triquarterly Fall 1996, he taught students of what he repeatedly called the "dark times" of 20 th -century political life. But all these experiences he faced, and the constant reminder of them carried a great price. He drank a lot, especially as his work on the Holocaust grew more harrowing. It is noted, once while writing his book he thought he was having a heart attack, but he was medically fine; instead his memories of the Holocaust had been squeezing at his chest causing psychosomatic symptoms. For Terrence Des Pres to put his terrible memories aside him would seem impossible, and that’s why Carolyn Forche wrote "Ourselves Or Nothing" to him: for inspiration. The poem "Ourselves Or Nothing," that Carolyn Forche wrote to Terrence Des Pres, is a poem of realization that both authors must take upon themselves. "Ourselves Or Nothing," simply suggests that although both had endured horror and experienced war, they must not put too much of their attention towards this. Forche recommended that they rather focus on themselves, otherwise, if they do not focus on themselves and let the terrible details of the past eat at them, and then essentially they have "nothing" to live for. I believe this is why Carolyn wrote the following poem to Des Pres where the passages from the poem describe their trials and her reasons for overcoming them.
