    Extractions: From 1965 to 1968, Komunyakaa served a tour of duty in Vietnam as an information specialist, editing a military newspaper called the Southern Cross. In Vietnam he won the Bronze Star. After military service, he enrolled at the University of Colorado (double major in English and sociology) and began writing poetry. Upon graduation in 1980, he studied further at both Colorado State University (where he received an M.A. in creative writing) and the University of California, Irvine (where he received an M.F.A.) and taught at various universities before moving to New Orleans. While teaching at the University of New Orleans, in 1985, he married Australian novelist Mandy Sayer. Only then, nearly twenty years after his Vietnam experiences, did Komunyakaa write his important war poems, published in 1988 as Dien Cai Dau.

    Extractions: e-mail:winston-barclay@uiowa.edu Release: Immediate (NOTE TO BROADCASTERS: Komunyakaa is pronounced: koh-mun-YAH-kuh.) Poet Yusef Komunyakaa, a Pulitzer Prize winner, will give reading IOWA CITY, Iowa Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa will read from his work at 8 p.m., Saturday, April 11 at Room 101 of the Becker Communication Studies Building on the University of Iowa campus. The reading, which is sponsored by the Iowa Writers' Workshop, is free and open to the public. Komunyakaa is known for a style that combines deeply personal images with seemingly effortless presentation. He also has gained a reputation as one of the finest writers in prose or poetry on the subject of the Vietnam war. In much of his work he creates complex images of his childhood in Louisiana as well as the jungles of Vietnam. Kirkland C. Jones writes of the poet's collection "Dien Cai Dau" (the title means "crazy" in Vietnamese and was used to refer to American soldiers): "Komunyakaa's Vietnam poems rank with the best on that subject. He focuses on the mental horrors of war the anguish shared by the soldiers, those left at home to keep watch, and other observers, participants, objectors, who are all part of the psychological terrain." The poems in "Dien Cai Dau" also explore issues of race and sex. Wayne Koestenbaum writes in the New York Times Books Review: "Komunyakaa writes sensitively about the difficulties of being a black American soldier fighting alongside white men and of American servicemen's sexual relations with Vietnamese women."

    yusef komunyakaa. Blue Notes Essays, Interviews, and Commentaries. yusefkomunyakaa. Edited by Radiclani Clytus. 53/8 x 8. 176 pgs. 2000.  
    http://www.press.umich.edu/titles/09651.html
    
    Extractions: Praise for this title Gathers essays, interviews, poems, and performance texts by one of America's most significant contemporary poets. Blue Notes offers an assortment of poet Yusef Komunyakaa's writing on contemporary poetry and music. The book is arranged in four sections. The first gathers essays on the work of poets and blues and jazz musicians influential to Komunyakaa's work, from Langston Hughes and Etheridge Knight to Ma Rainey and Thelonious Monk; the second collects a gallery of Komunyakaa's poems and the poet's commentary about each of them. The third selects interviews that reveal the development of the poet's aesthetic sensibility. The final section consists of four artistic explorations that reflect the poet's current interests. Two of of these texts, "Tenebrae" and "Buddy's Monologue," have been recently performed. As editor Radiclani Clytus makes clear in the volume's introductory essay, although Komunyakaa's poetry has its roots in the stylistic innovations of early twentieth-century American modernists, his writing often reflects his understanding that a "black" experience should not particularize the presentation of one's art. This volume, according to the editor, is an attempt to understand Komunyakaa's critical eclecticism within the context of his own words.

    Extractions: Y usef Komunyakaa, born in Bogalusa, La., currently a professor at Princeton University, served in Vietnam where he was a reporter for Stars and Stripes. He wrote what is probably the best book of poems by an American about the Vietnam War, Dien Cai Dau (Wesleyan University Press), and subsequently received the Pulitzer Prize for his selected poems, Neon Vernacular (also Wesleyan). His newest book is as strong as the best of his earlier work and it has immense range. The poem that caught my eye begins as an observation about style among the young in the '90s. : Woebegone We pierce tongue
