CAROLYN KIZER: where's she been all her life? Photo by John Palmer She’s rooted here in the Northwest, Spokane born – “After Spokane, what horrors lurk in Hell?” – a student in Theodore Roethke’s poetry workshop at the University of Washington in 1954 when she was already nearly thirty, mother of three small children, living up on Capitol Hill in a big house – Mark Tobeys on the wall, and Morris Graves – with rooms full of books from floor to ceiling. David Wagoner said “she came as close in the 1950s as anyone ever has in this area to having – you can’t quite call it a salon – a social center for literary activities. Her house was always open.” In a 1956 article in The New Republic, she described this new school of Northwest poets, with Roethke at the center, cajoling, bullying, and singing, with students like Richard Hugo and James Wright, and alternative classrooms like the Blue Moon Tavern on 45th Street, “a grubby oasis just outside the university’s one-mile-limit Sahara” where “poets, pedants, painters and other assorted wildlife make overtures to each other.” Not long after she helped found and was the first full-time editor of Poetry Northwest, which she turned into a literary journal of national distinction. What she took from Roethke, from the teaching, were “the standards he taught, the meter, the importance of syntax and grammar, and the extraordinary beauty of the English language.” Most important is the music, the sense of song that, Carlyle once said, is the very “essence of us,” that Thoreau called “the very breath of all friendliness,” or Shelley “the moment’s monument.” She stays close to the song, and to the dance. At home in a variety of forms, her rhythms strong, her language erudite, or bawdy – we cannot help but think of that other most musical of performer poets, Vachel Lindsay, barnstorming the country, singing with the force of personality, the poetry clear and plain. Still, however clear her poems are to the eye, there is always much more that meets the ear, as she warns us in “A Song for Muriel”:
