42. Carolyn Kizer: Tits Ahoy! D11DES10 On American Poetry Criticism; Other Dastardly –Isms PART 6carolyn kizer James Merrill With Tits? Bonus Poems of carolyn kizer http://www.cosmoetica.com/D11-DES10.htm

On American Poetry Criticism; PART 6: Carolyn Kizer: James Merrill With Tits? by Dan Schneider, 1/29/02 Bonus Poems A while back I ran across poet/critic Carolyn Kizer’s essay book Proses Proses is a bad book filled with essays that top out at mediocre. st She next tackles Emily Dickinson. We learn what 1000s of other critics have told us: ED’s poems ‘ reach out to us so confidingly, the language so pure, the meaning so evanescent....and Emily, more than most, can reveal our own truths to us, and then gleefully snatch them away! Now let me just posit that the fingers are the fingers of the Muse-poet; Emily Dickinson is the poem on the page who is being fingered, like someone picking out a tune (on a cornet, if you will); like someone revising her, the poem; like a Galatea who is simultaneously her own Pygmalion, her own creation-creator. Like, in fact, our own elusive complicated Emily who, like all of our great loves, forever tantalizes, and forever escapes us. Just read the poems. Your guesses are as good as mine. We are all of us right and all of us mistaken- and somewhere Emily Dickinson is secretly smiling. Louise spent the rest of her life attempting to subdue her demons. Unfortunately, one of the demons wrote the poems.

45. Quote From Carolyn Kizer Quote from carolyn kizer. Bill Matthews has said that a really goodwriting teacher wants you to write more and more like yourself http://newmedia.colorado.edu/poets9/messages/39.html

Quote from Carolyn Kizer "Bill Matthews has said that a really good writing teacher wants you to write more and more like yourself, while a less good teacher wants you to write like him or heronly slightly less well." If you are imitating someone else [your writing] will be less good. All of which is to say: while it is fine to ask students to imitate styles and forms as a learning exercise, it is very good to encourage them to find their own voice, their own style, and then work with that individual gem until it is refined and polished.

48. AWP: "An Interview With Carolyn Kizer" By Meredith Brand & Mike Chasar An Interview with carolyn kizer by Meredith Brand Mike Chasar carolyn kizerI made an effort to have the other editors leave out popular song lyrics. http://www.awpwriter.org/magazine/writers/kizer.htm

An Interview with Carolyn Kizer From the May/Summer 2001 issue of The Writer's Chronicle Carolyn Kizer is the author of eight books of poetry including Yin , which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1985, and Cool, Calm and Collected , a recently-released volume of collected poems from Copper Canyon Press. A former President of the AWP Board of Directors, she has published two books of criticism, a book of translations, and is editor of The Essential John Clare and 100 Great Poems by Women . Born in Spokane, Washington, in 1925 and educated at Sarah Lawrence College, she was a Chinese Cultural Fellow at Columbia University and spent a year in nationalist China. With Richard Hugo she founded Poetry Northwest and then, from 1965 until 1970, she served as the first Director of Literature for the National Endowment for the Arts. There are a number of ways to deal with chaos and misrule and prejudice, and one of them is with wit. It's also one of the ways you can stand living in the world we live in-by being able to laugh I like to write with a little sting in the tail when I can, to make people a little uneasy or uncomfortable. She has taught at many colleges and universities including Columbia University, Princeton University, and Stanford University, and has received numerous awards including those from the National Academy, the Poetry Society of America, and the Theodore Roethke Foundation. She and her husband, the architect and city planner, John M. Woodbridge, currently live in Sonoma, California, and spend part of each year in Paris.

Arms and the girl I sing O ... rare arms that are braceleted and white and bare arms that were lovely Helen's, in whose name Greek slaughtered Trojan . Helen was to blame But let's go ... back to the beginning when sinners didn't ... know that they were sinning. He one rib short she lived to rue it when Adam said to God , "She made me do it." Whether we wield a sceptre or a mop It's clear you fear that we may get on top And if we doI say it without animus It's not from you we learned to be magnanimous.

You wince at old stupidities, groan at missed opportunities, shudder at occasions when laziness won out over the need to improve, to perfect. And yes, there are a few moments when you can mildly exult at something that turned out pretty well, although you have enough sense not to take all the credit for this, but thank your stars, your parents, your teachers, and that trinity: the Muse, God and the Unconscious. And you are grateful for the impulses that were not so great that you deep-sixed. If, like me, you are in your seventies, there is more than fifty years of work to contemplate. What interests me is what, on the whole, is consistency: finding a voice early, and keeping it quite unchanged up until now. Oh, I don't include the efforts of my teens, which are not represented here (including a poem I had in

Department of English University of Washington Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Readings Carolyn Kizer Interview (1985) Carolyn Kizer's Pulitzer Prize ( for Yin: New Poems ) was announced shortly before her appearance as the 1985 Roethke Memorial Poetry reader. The Seattle Times published this in-depth story and interview the day of the reading. In this same rainy, misty area, on which the sun never (or almost never) rises, with a climate tempered by the Japanese current and protecting mountains, with living traces of pioneer and Indian days...where anything resembling night-club or cafe life is almost unknown, a new Pacific school of poets has been emerging.' from Carolyn Kizer from The New Republic , July 16, 1956 Carolyn Kizer Pulitzer prize winner closes a circle that began at the UW when she returns for a reading by Richard Zahler Carolyn Kizer does not just enter a room. "When she walks in, you know something's changed, said Tree Swenson, a friend and a co-publisher of Copper Canyon Press in Port Townsend. Kizer does not merely read her poems.

59. Carolyn Kizer's On A Line From Valery Throats burst as universal winter rose To kill the whole green sky, thelast tree bare Beneath its camopy of poisoned air. carolyn kizer http://www.geocities.com/emilylloyd.geo/kizer.html

ON A LINE FROM VALERY Tout le ciel vert ce muert. Le dernier arbre brule. The whole green sky is dying. The last tree flares With a great burst of supernatural rose Under a canopy of poisonous airs. Could we imagine our return to prayers To end in time before time's final throes, The green sky dying as the last tree flares? But we were young in judgement, old in years Who could make peace; but it was war we chose, To spread its canopy of poisoning airs. Not all our children's pleas or women's fears Could save us from this hell. And now, God knows His whole green sky is dying as it flares. Our crops of wheat have turned to fields of tares. This dreadful century staggers to its close As the sky dies for us, its poisoned heirs. All rain was dust. Its granules were our tears. Throats burst as universal winter rose To kill the whole green sky, the last tree bare Beneath its camopy of poisoned air. Carolyn Kizer

60. Annie Finch: Poetry From a Review of Annie Finch's Eve. (Michigan Quarterly Review). By carolynkizer. carolyn kizer. *Review by CL Rawlins. *Review by CG MacDonald. http://www.users.muohio.edu/finchar/poetry/kizerrev.html

From a Review of Annie Finch's Eve Michigan Quarterly Review By Carolyn Kizer Eve , by Annie Finch, was eagerly anticipated, as publishers love to say, but it certainly was, by some old formalists, new formalists, and just plain poets like me. We had been struck by her poems in literary journals and by her anthology, A Formal Feeling Comes . We liked the use of myth in modern contexts; we loved the wild energy held in check by form. In an ecstatic review the poet C.L. Rawlins said, “(Her) rhyme and meter isn’t just a formerly fashionable sort of bondage...but is inst ead a bio-acoustic key to memory and emotion, which existed prior to the written word.” She does indeed abolish linear time: past fables and present events coalesce. Einstein might have accompanied her on his violin. Try this: Is the sound of my loud carrying life a knell far across your small ocean? Do you share the secret that the months keep hidden there? Is my past-filled pregnancy a hungry shell? I think I will turn metal, like a bell, so you can clapper my voice out, to where
