    Extractions: 1989. George Herms (artist) and Charles Simic (poet). 12'h x 7'6"x 7'6"d. 725 S. Figueroa Street JUNK: old iron, glass, paper, or other waste that may be used again in some form; second hand, worn, or discarded articles of little value. Webster's New College Dictionary George Herms collects and stores junk. However, any image of him as a greasy junk man wearing dirty overalls is wide of the mark. He should rather be viewed as an environmentalist, recycling industrial waste, refuge and discards into works of fine art. Although his sculpture lacks the commonly accepted standard of refinement and polish, it retains a veneer of rustic beauty formed by the interaction of nature with man-made materials. When invited in March 1988 to develop an installation for the "Poets' Walk" with poet Charles Simic, Herms found the small project both attractive and radical because it combined the physical world of sculpture with the non-physical world of poetry. Poetry is a cleansing, refreshing and rejuvenating experience, which he compares to taking "the waters" of a spa. After corresponding with each other, Herms and Simic met at Citicorp Plaza, where they discussed the theme of their work and decided where to place it. They decided to mimic the rotating door on the nearby office tower with a stationary door that would both frame the poems and serve as a metaphor for the theme of the poetry. They wanted their work to be a symbolic entrance and exit to a formal passageway by standing at the top of the plaza's escalators. The Fire Department, however, objected to this location because they wanted the area clear in case of an emergency. "Portals of Poetry" was finally installed in a quiet area near a knoll along the south edge of the plaza.

    Extractions: George Herms (1935-) was born in Woodland, California. He attended the University of California, Berkeley. A nationally recognized assemblagist, his work has been exhibited in group and solo shows in numerous museums and galleries. He has been awarded the Prix de Rome from the American Academy in Rome, a Guggenheim Fellowship and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. His public art has been controversial because his use of rusted ordinary objects is a jarring note for people accustomed to a more refined and polished sense of beauty.(1) In addition to paintings, drawings and photography, Herms has also written poetry and taught sculpture at UCLA.

His poems are generally humorous, remember the political world of his childhood in Yugoslavia, and use images that do not need to be explained. His images come from tiny things: a piece of thread, tying his shoe, or looking at the earth: "so that briefly, in that one spell, / Your heartache hushes at the beauty of it." He has published 16 books of poetry, 4 books of prose, and about 11 books of translations.

    Extractions: Poet Charles Simic was 3 years old when Nazi forces targeted his city for destruction. In an excerpt from his new memoir, A Fly in the Soup, Simic returns to the days when bombs rained on Belgrade. Excerpts from A Fly in the Soup n April 6, 1941, when I was 3 years old, the building across the street was hit by a bomb at five in the morning and set on fire. Belgrade, where I was born, has the dubious distinction of having been bombed by the Nazis in 1941, by the Allies in 1944 and by NATO in 1999. The number of dead for that day in April in what was called by the Germans "Operation Punishment" ranges between 5,000 and 17,000, the largest number of civilian deaths in a single day in the first 20 months of war. The city was attacked by 400 bombers and more than 200 fighter planes on a Palm Sunday when visitors from the countryside swelled the capital's population. Whatever the true count is, Luftwaffe Marshal Alexander Lohr was tried for terror bombing and hung in 1945. I have another vague memory of bright flames and then enveloping darkness as I was being rushed down the stairs of our building into the cellar. That happened many times during World War II, so it may have been on another occasion. What surprised me years later, when I saw German documentary footage of the bombing, was to find a brief shot of my street with several additional buildings destroyed in the neighborhood. I didn't realize until that very moment how many bombs had rained on my head that morning.
