    Extractions: FORREST GANDER Approximately 75 to 80 people gathered to hear Forrest Gander read from his new volume of poems, Torn Awake . Audience members included Robert Hass and Brenda Hillman (both of whom are visiting professors at the Writer's Workshop during the spring semester), and Christopher Merrill, who provided the introduction. Wearing black pants, a gray shirt, and a blue jean jacket, Gander read in a deep and resonant voice. Besides reading from his new book, Gander also read from his translation of poems by Pura Lopez-Colome, a Mexican poet whose book No Shelter will be published in April by Graywolf Press. An especially marvelous moment occurred when Gander read some of Lopez-Colome's lines in Spanish before reading his translation. Gander recounted discovering several poets during his stay in Mexico many years ago. It was also there, he said, that he wrote his first good poem.

    Extractions: Poet Forrest Gander, left, and Athens singer/songwriter Vic Chesnutt gang up for a poetry and music session Friday. Friends for about a decade, the show will be the first time the two have shared the stage. Chesnutt also will perform a Tour de Sprawl benefit and Daily Groceries anniversary celebration show Friday at the 40 Watt Club. ''One of the proudest moments of my life is when Forrest Gander got punched and got a fat lip at my show defending my honor,'' says his friend, Athens singer/songwriter Vic Chesnutt, referring to a show during which Gander shooshed some audience members rudely talking during Chesnutt's set and was unduly rewarded for his efforts. The show, Chesnutt recalls, was in Providence, R.I. (to which he adds an ''of course,'' without offering what the ''of course'' means, particularly).

69. Review Of Robert Creeley's Life And Death, By Forrest Gander
    A Review by forrest gander. forrest gander is the author of several books of whichScience Steepleflower (New Directions, 1998) is best and most recent.  
    http://www.webdelsol.com/LITARTS/Forrest_Works/forrest1.htm
    
    Extractions: F As ever, in his new book, , Creeley's very ideation seems often directed by sound and word play rather than vice versa, as if poetic thinking were always, in all senses, a sounding. It is typical of his style, in the poem "Credo", that a series of assertive statements beginning "I believe" come to manifest equal attention to the phonemes of "believe" as to an explication of Creeley's beliefs. When the second stanza continues By your those newly introduced images leafy shelter, exposed person and expressionsby your leave which extend Creeley's meditation, indicating that belief can be a shelter over the exposed ego, have been generated most clearly by audition. Although Creeley's poems have always seemed closely connected, pieces of a singular lifelong project, those of emphatically engage Creeley's own earlier poems and those by other poets, contemporary and otherwise, belonging to that notable company Creeley keeps in mind. Although Creeley's poems have always seemed closely connected, pieces of a singular lifelong project, those of

    http://www.webdelsol.com/Perihelion/schafer.htm
    
    Extractions: Reviewed by Mark Schafer I wanted to review No Shelter: The Selected Poems of Pura López-Colomé López-Colomé's poetry is, as Gander puts it, "exacting". Her language itself is demanding, uncompromising, precise. Rather than spooling out narratives or dramatic scenes, her poetry is constantly, rigorously honing in on moral truths with a spiritual intensity that is unusual, surprising even to find in poetry nowadays. I give my word (from "Death of the Kiss") The appearance here of "word," "spirit," and "christen," is not coincidental. At the heart of López-Colomé's poetic project is the attempt to bridge the sacred and the profane and in that passage to reveal that one inhabits the other. And as the poet delves with full awareness into that dual-faceted reality a powerful mix of contrasting emotions arises. At the end of the poem "Prism", the poet describes visiting the abandoned campsite of a group of modern day pilgrims:

    Extractions: order it now! "Forrest Gander's poems have life, humor and a pleasant strangeness. They speak of, or rather from, a Japan of the imagination and the American South in sweet and sure androgynous tones. His book will make you laugh while the poems go about their business of printing after-images on your memory." The Providence Sunday Journal "Gander writes with a fascinating opaqueness; his metaphors and narrative touches twist strangely on the page, seem to reflect light back into the reader's eyes... The Japanese influence that weaves through the poems adds to their opaque, alien quality. But the eccentricities in Rush To The Lake aren't cross-national or cross-cultural; they inhere in the queer, lyrical properties of Gander's own mind...I very much like Rush To The Lake

    Extractions: Katya Balter, Copy Editor Forrest Gander, an award-winning poet and professor at Harvard University, will be reading from selected works in the Babbott Room this Monday. For those of you who are unfamiliar with his work, here’s a brief overview. Gander’s poetry weaves seamlessly through mysterious and esoteric topics. From the Japanese influence in his first collection, “Rush to the Lake,” to his latest book, “Science and Steeplechase,” Gander refuses to let words fade into paltry images or cliched answers. Instead, he highlights the complex intricacies of ordinary lives. Without exchanging multiculturalism for style or letting form override content, Gander still appeals to the diligent, careful, playful reader who is not scared of sometimes referring to a dictionary, or even a manual on verse. His poems are only as intense and complicated as life, or as one chooses to make life. Missing one detail, one carefully selected word (or, conversely, overestimating the importance of a symbol or sequence) can mean the difference in understanding or missing the entire meaning of the poem. The ubiquitous confidence on the part of the narrator, who we can only assume is, at times, a sly manifestation of Gander, increases our desire to ferret out exactly what he is trying to say; the “he seems to get it, why don’t I?” refrain echoes through your head for most of the poems, prompting deeper and closer engagment with the material. The most ordinary subjects appear in jagged, lurid flashes, as if captured by the light of a strobe, and, at other times, the strangest locales are transformed into nothing odder than a neighbor’s backyard. The Japan we are invited to examine in his early collection eerily resembles a dreamy landscape or surreal film, not an actual locale in the slightest, while the American South takes on tones of papery dryness, sepia-colored yet with additional tints of startling red and yellow. As Gander writes in his poem “Knife on a Plate”: “the audacious / originality of the ordinary / sometimes suggests an opening,” an opening indeed for some sharply humorous comments on modern life, as well as pure, unsentimental sentiment.
