What the critics said This new book from Between The Lines presents a kind of "imaginary conversation" developed from a batch of written questions mailed to the poet, and a flurry of replies, follow-up questions, and voluntary expansions - but at its heart is the plum reward of new angles from which to engage the poems ... Anthony Hecht in Conversation has the frankness and summative qualities of the best memoirs, and extends well beyond the boundaries of the average magazine interview ...

Anthony Hecht biographical notes SAUL AND DAVID It was a villainous spirit, snub-nosed, foul Of breath, thick-taloned and malevolent, That squatted within him wheresoever he went And possessed the soul of Saul. There was no peace on pillow or on throne. In dreams the toothless, dwarfed, and squinny-eyed Started a joyful rumor that he had died Unfriended and alone. The doctors were confounded. In his distress, he Put aside arrogant ways and condescended To seek among the flocks where they were tended By the youngest son of Jesse, A shepherd boy, but goodly to look upon, Unnoticed but God-favored, sturdy of limb As Michelangelo later imagined him, Comely even in his frown. Shall a mere shepherd provide the cure of kings? Heaven itself delights in ironies such As this, in which a boy's fingers would touch Pythagorean strings And by a modal artistry assemble The very Sons of Morning, the ranked and choired Heavens in sweet laudation of the Lord, And make Saul cease to tremble. from used by permission of Alfred A.

Ploughshares Anthony Hecht "Beginnings" My literary education began with nursery rhymes and Mother Goose, the fairly common way for those of my generation, as well as those going back to Victorian times. Hinx, minx, the old witch winks, The fat begins to fry; Nobody home but Jumping Joan, Father, mother, and I. Stick, stock, stone dead, Blind man can't see; Every knave will have a slave, You or I must be he. What child would not be intrigued by such verse, filled as it is with admirable mystery: a witch, a curious person named "Jumping Joan," the mention of the unmentionable in the world of the real nursery, the dead, the blind, and slaves. Most of all, the frank inclusion of "me," as part of the drama. I was enchanted, and the more pleased to find that the grown-ups who read me these poems were as mystified as I by them. It would be many years before I would encounter: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf

ANTHONY HECHT NOVEMBER 18, 1997 Anthony Hecht, a native of New York City, is the winner of the Corrington Award for the 1997-1998 academic year. He was born in 1923 in NYC, and got his college education at Bard College and Columbia University. He then served as a soldier in Europe during the turbulent years of World War II. It is the experiences that he gained there that led him to begin his life of poetry. His first book was published in 1954 - A Summoning of Stones . Fourteen years later, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his second book of poems, The Hard Hours . This powerful work can be found in the 1990 Collected Earlier Poems . Other previous books appearing in this anthology are: Millions of Strange Shadows (1977) and The Venetian Vespers (1979). His most recent work is Flight Among The Tombs , which appeared in 1996. What is the best way to describe Hecht's work? Dr. David Havird , a professor of English at Centenary College of Louisiana, says that Hecht "displays in his poetry something of the formal resourcefulness of Herbert; the elegance, erudition, wit, and savage indignation of Swift and Pope, the visionary acuity of Wordsworth... and the sensuous extravagance of Keats." Hecht is also in the same class as James Dickey, a previous Corrington Award winner. It is also worth noting that Hecht studied with John Crowe Ransom at Kenyon College, and then with Allen Tate at NYU. Ransom and Tate were some of the pioneers of the Southern Literary Renaissance during the 1920s. There is a rumor that Hecht's poem, "More Light! More Light!", is a tribute to Ransom.

About Anthony Hecht Glyn Maxwell H echt was born in New York City. He graduated from Bard College in 1944 and served in the army in Europe and Japan. After the war he studied at Kenyon College, where he began a long and distinguished career as a professor, most recently at Georgetown University, Washington. His second collection, The Hard Hours, won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1968; his many other awards include the Bollingen Prize and the Librex-Guggenheim Eugenio Montale Award. Apart from five poetry collections, he has published critical essays ( Obbligati, 1986), light verse ( Jiggery-Pokery , 1967, with John Hollander), and translation, most notably of Aeschylus ( Seven Against Thebes, 1973, with Helen Bacon) and Joseph Brodsky. Some recent editions of his work ( Collected Earlier Poems and The Transparent Man, both New York and Oxford, 1990) employ on their covers a photograph of the poet's face reflected in a mirroron the latter book a photographic negativemost appropriate images for his substantial and remarkable oeuvre, which holds the glass up to this worst of centuries and looks it squarely in the eye, neither glossing its beauty nor flinching from its horror. The work of Anthony Hecht shatters the cosy notion that a fragmented, fractured age should be reflected in the forms of its art, that ugliness and shapelessness demand payment in kind. Like Auden, he has absorbed the evils and grotesqueries of his unhappy century into a verse both highly formal and all-encompassing, stitching wounds with iambs, sculpting pentameters of sustained, Latinate beauty, sounding a healing music.

20. Sestina Advice by Damon McLaughlin on how to write a sestina, with an example by anthony hecht. Part of a course at the University of Northern Iowa called The Craft of Poetry. http://www.uni.edu/english/craft/sestina.html

Sestina Syllabus Craft of Poetry Home Sestina tends to have a scary ring to it, and I imagine many fall back with a look of fright at the mere sound of the word. We all have, it's all right. A little pactice and the sestina can be a very rewarding exercise for any poet looking for a challenge. The sestina is yet another fun, French form, and it is divided into 6 sestets (six line stanzas) and 1 triplet called an envoi which is just a concluding stanza that is half the size of the rest. Unless you wish to make the sestina harder than it already may be, it is usually unrhymed and works by repeating the end words of each line. The envoi contains, in any order, all of the six end-words. The catch is that one has to be buried in each line and another must be at the end of the line. The pattern for repeating the words is like this: (stanza A) 123456, (stanza B) 615243. This 615243 pattern is how each of the "next" stanzas are made. The first way to learn this pattern is to look at a sestina. "Sestina d'Inverno" by Anthony Hecht: Here in this bleak city of Rochester
