21. Bold Type: Review By Ernie Hilbert By Ernie Hilbert in BoldType. http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0400/koch/review.html

hen approaching a new book by the immensely prolific Kenneth Koch, it is tempting to view it exclusively against the background of his associations with famous artists and the New York School poets. In other words, it is very difficult to set his reputation, his milieu, or his charismatic persona entirely to one side. As a result, his poems are too often read as extensions of his persona, his personality. Koch's latest book, New Addresses One finds in New Addresses much of the cosmopolitanism of his earlier work, but the poems fall a great distance from the European avant-gardism that influenced his earliest works, known at the time for their experimental fuzziness and difficulty. One finds instead much of the confessionalism enjoyed by other poets of the New York School, such as the gossipy Frank O' Hara (on rare occasion even the towering John Ashberry has indulged this urge). Koch's amiable confessionalism is displayed in a more frisky and elegantly informal way than one would find in, for instance, Robert Lowell's Life Studies or Anne Sexton's harrowing The Awful Rowing Toward God.

23. Kenneth Koch Bei ZdZ Ein Auszug aus kenneth kochs "The Art of Poetry" auf Englisch und in deutscher Übersetzung Category World Deutsch Autoren und Autorinnen K koch, kenneth......kenneth koch aus The Art of Poetry Some poets like «saving up»for poems, others like to spend incessantly what they have. In http://www.txt.de/engeler/artofpoetry.html

Kenneth Koch aus: The Art of Poetry Principle involved, since your feelings are changing every instant And the language has millions of words, and the number of combinations is infinite. True, one may feel, perhaps Puritanically, that One person can only have so much to say, and, besides, ten thousand poems per annum Per person would flood the earth and perhaps eventually the universe, But for you, fellow paddler, and for me, perhaps not. Besides, I think poems Are esthetecologically harmless and psychodegradable And never would they choke the spirits of the world. For a poem only affects us Writing constantly, in any case, is the poetic dream Dream, which is that of the exigent poet. Just how good a poem should be Before one releases it, either from one's own work or then into the purview of others, May be decided by applying the following rules: ask 1) Is it astonishing? Am I pleased each time I read it? Does it say something I was unaware of Before I sat down to write it? and 2) Do I stand up from it a better man Or a wiser, or both? or can the two not be separated? 3) Is it really by me

Knopf, $24 (0-375-41492-4). 811. In his glorious final work, Koch returns to classical forms to express his profound yet bemused gratitude for life, however strange and imperfect. Still whimsical––he can’t resist going all out in the blithely funny and typographically effervescent “Possible World”––but more gracious and philosophical than ever before, the poet visits the Acropolis, Rome, and Kuala Lumpur, and muses on how varied life is, how quickly the dead are gone, and how long the influence of lovers and friends is felt. Wryly and affectionately reflective, teasingly subversive, and still vitally curious and joyfully creative, Koch brings all his wisdom and artistry to “A Memoir,” a charming and deeply affecting poem that embraces the dark and the light, a chiming, indelible song of himself, of every self. –– Donna Seaman (Booklist/October 1, 2002)

The Art of Poetry Kenneth Koch 5-3/8 x 8. 192 pgs. 6 drawings, 6 photographs. 1996. Cloth 0-472-09605-2 $42.50S Unavailable Paper 0-472-06605-6 $14.95T Available Praise for this title Essays, interviews, parodies and cartoons by a distinguished poet and teacher. A charter member of the legendary New York School of poets that includes John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler, Kenneth Koch has become one of America's best known and best loved poets. His apt parodies and zany poetic conceits have earned him the distinction of being the funniest poet in America, and his extravagant imagination and knack for high hilarity have pleased generations of readers. Here, in The Art of Poetry, Koch offers amusing and thought-provoking essays on the nature of the poetic moment, from its heartfelt emergence in an elementary school classroom to its raucous display in a set of satirical cartoons drawn by the author. Also included are interviews with Allen Ginsberg and Jordan Davis in which Koch discusses a range of diverse topics, including literary criticism, French poetry, and Santa Claus. The Art of Poetry provides Koch's audience with not only the musings and mischievous thoughts of the poetic mind, but also the reflections of the most respected poetry teacher in America.

In late 1975, you went to France to teach poetry to children, thus bringing the American pedagogical tradition to our schools.

Poet Kenneth Koch November 28, 1996 TRANSCRIPT A conversation with Kenneth Koch, winner of this year’s Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Now a conversation with Kenneth Koch, winner of this year’s Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry. It’s a privately-funded award, $10,000, given under the auspices of the Library of Congress. Last year, Koch won the $25,000 Bollingen prize given by the Yale University Library. He received these awards for his book "One Train" and for his lifetime achievement. He has published eight collections of poetry, a novel, short stories, plays, and several works on teaching children about poetry. I spoke with him late last month. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Thank you for being with us. KENNETH KOCH, Columbia University: Thank you. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: I’ve been reading your poetry. Much of it is very funny, very playful and witty. It’s not what many people expect poetry to be. There’s this view that poetry should be kind of somber, isn’t there? KENNETH KOCH: Oh, I suppose some people have that view. It’s a confusion between seriousness and solemnity. The intention of my poetry isI mean, I don’t intend for my poetry to be mainly funny or satirical, but it seems to me that high spirits and sort of a comic view are part of being serious.

38. Bold Type: Conversation With Kenneth Koch BoldType A Conversation with kenneth koch. An interview by Ernie Hilbert. http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0400/koch/interview.html

ould you say a few words about New Addresses? These poems seem to have taken on a certain inertia after a time. Did you begin to envision them as a single project? After I talked to some of the subjects I mentioned, I thought that there were more important things for me to talk to than piano lessons. I wrote hundreds and hundreds of these poems. The ones in the book are the ones that worked out. There are several poems in the book that are addressed to more than one thing. At a certain point I realized that the things I was talking to in the poems weren't in my life separately, but together. You mentioned the rhetorical form of apostrophe. Would you consider any of your poems odes? Odes seem more celebratory. When John Donne writes "Death be not proud", that's not really an ode. When Shelley talks to the west wind that is an ode. It is a high level of praise. When Frank O'Hara talks to the sun on Fire Island, that is not an ode. Odes just seem a little highly toned. What drew you to this form? It's a rare example, for me anyway, of poetry coming from criticism. I became interested in this form when I was writing a book entitled
