He imagines what goes on beyond that door"beep-machines, a blur / of women and men in white frocks." He wishes that he had a better, less frightening view of the world. Staring at the door, however, he sends his wish to the Intensive Care patients "that your lives be again and again / limned by dawn." Commentary A short (23 line) poem that suggests the awe, terror and compassion evoked by Intensive Care Units. A couple of fine images here: "two bad ghost pears, the lungs . . . " and "flax fields / parted like the haircuts of children."

New and Selected Poems Thomas Lux in conversation with Judith Moore (Author of Never Eat Your Heart Out San Diego Reader May 29, 1997 Memory's Handgrenade Split Horizons On the day we talked, Mr. Lux was in his Sarah Lawrence office. I asked him how poets earn a living in America. "Most poets earn their living like I do, by teaching. I don't know anybody, any poet, who earns a living solely from poetry. Even Ginsberg was teaching until he died. So most poets do teach or do whatever else they can. I know some doctor poets, some lawyer poets, some businessmen poets, but mostly we teach." How did Mr. Lux happen to become a poet? "Like most writers, I love to read. I read a great deal as a child and in high school. I started trying to imagine being a writer. I didn't even know that living writers, poets, existed after about 1945, which was when the textbook stopped. I started writing poetry in high school, by imitating the poems on the back of Bob Dylan's albums. "In college I had a real poet for a teacher, Helen Chasin. She was a great basic workshop teacher. Tough, no-nonsense, a lot of craft, really perfect teacher for a young writer. She was both tough and encouraging. She was direct and objective and she made it clear that she wasn't talking about you or your feelings, that she was talking about the poem or this thing that you made, this object. "She introduced me to Robert Lowell when I was a junior in college, in 1968 or early 1969. She had me and one other student to a dinner party with Lowell. He was like God, you know.

Spalding : Your father was a milkman. Can you talk a little bit about what he was like? Thomas Lux : He's eighty-four years old, and he spent most of his working life as a milkman driving around in small towns in Iowa and Massachusetts delivering milk. I grew up on the dairy farm. It was my uncle's and my grandfather's farm; we lived on the farm and worked on it, and my father's job was to deliver the milk. The one outstanding thing about his job was that there was a period, probably from the early fifties until the later sixties, where he worked seventeen years in a row, 355 days a year. His milk route was divided into two sections: two weeks, three days each, and then on Sundays he delivered milk to a couple of stores. So he'd go out on the job on Sunday for only an hour or two. JM : What was his reaction to your becoming a poet?

By Thomas Lux. Houghton Mifflin, $22. THE PAINTINGS OF OUR LIVES: Poems. By Grace Schulman. Houghton Mifflin, $22. A COUPLE of decades ago almost every major American publisher published poetry. Scribner, Doubleday, Dutton, Macmillan, Atheneum, Liveright even McGraw-Hill, that bastion of business books. Today none of those firms issues poetry, and some have disappeared altogether. In our age of the bottom line, bean counters and no midlist books, a good deal of American poetry now comes from university presses and small presses like Ecco, Copper Canyon, Gray Wolf and BOA. So it is gratifying to see the venerable firm of Houghton Mifflin still issuing poetry. Much of the credit goes to Pat Strachan, executive editor of the adult trade division. For her latest list Strachan has selected two particularly praiseworthy collections. Thomas Lux is director of the master of fine arts program in poetry at Sarah Lawrence College and received the prestigious Kingsley Tufts Award for his last single collection

Program in Poetry at Sarah Lawrence College and a core faculty member of the Warren Wilson M.F.A. Program for Writers. In recent years he has also taught at the universities of Michigan, Iowa and California (Irvine). A former Guggenheim Fellow and the recipient of three N.E.A. grants, Lux won the Kingsley Tufts Award for his previous book, Split Horizon , and was also a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award in poetry. Reading the poetry of Thomas Lux is an experience unlike any other. Who else would write a poem about an unopened jar of maraschino cherries in a refrigerator, or feel himself able to speak for today's commercial leech farmer? In one poetic voice, Thomas Lux comments on the absurd, the pathetic, and the commonplace in our culture, writing with compassion as well as satire. Who has the right to say that these attitudes differ? Only Thomas Lux manages to yoke them into the same harness and urge them forward to exert a powerful draw on our understanding.

33. Thomas Lux- Tarantulas On The Lifebuoy thomas lux. This poem formerly appeared on this site in What Is Found There, anarchive of contemporary poetry. This poem is Copyrighted by thomas lux. http://www.contemporarypoetry.com/dialect/poetry/luxtrantula.html

Tarantulas on the Lifebuoy For some semitropical reasons when the rains fall relentlessly they fall into swimming pools, these otherwise bright and scary arachnids. They can swim a little, but not for long and they can't climb the ladder out. They usually drown but if you want their favor, if you believe there is justice, a reward for not loving the death of ugly and even dangerous (the eel, hog snake, rats) creatures, if you believe these things, then you would leave a lifebuoy or two in your swimming pool at night. And in the morning you would haul ashore the huddled, hairy survivors and escort them back to the bush, and know, be assured that at least these saved, as individuals, would not turn up again someday in your hat, drawer, or the tangled underworld of your socks, and that even when your belief in justice merges with your belief in dreams they may tell the others in a sign language four times as subtle and complicated as man's that you are good that you love them

Georgia Writers extends sincerest thanks to THOMAS LUX for his presentation of our Special poetry event held on Saturday, April 14, 2001 in the Cecil B. Day Hall on the Atlanta Campus of Mercer University At 1:30 PM Mr. Lux read from his works and answered many questions about poetry and poets, from the audience. The program was followed by a book signing. Georgia Writers is pleased to congratulate GA Tech for their vision in expanding their focus to poetry. The inauguration by Thomas Lux of Georgia Tech's McEver Chair in Writing and GA Tech's subsequent hosting of a series of poetry events, has served to further stimulate the awareness and appreciation of poetry in Atlanta. At the outset of the series Lux claimed, "We're going to celebrate Georgia poets and poetry, and we're going to have a great time doing it." Both he and the and the other fine poets who came forward to help him celebrate poetry made that promise good. The indefatigable Ginger Murchison is to be heartily congratulated for her dedication to this excellent project. Thank you, Ginger, for your expression of appreciation of poetry via the long hours and hard work it took to make every program a success.

Introduction by Brighde Mullins Tonight's reading brings together Joy Harjo and Thomas Lux, two "great users of words" to quote Walt Whitman's definition of the poet. The thinking behind the pairing of these two distinct sensibilities was to counterpoint two poets whose work undertakes a serious contemplation of place. With empathy and insight, Joy Harjo and Thomas Lux explore disparate American geographies and inheritances. Here are two powerful, disturbing imaginations that yield fresh surprises about the syntax of a locale, and the contingent responsibilities of its associations home, family and community. Celebratory elements as well as urgent warnings figure in their poems; both write fables, story-poems; and both summon up Charles Wright's question: "what is it about a known landscape that tends to undo us?" The poetry of Thomas Lux has paid attention to, among other phenomenon, the virgule (an early form of the comma) the maraschino cherry, the scary playground songs of children, the thirst of sea-turtles, the registers of physical pain, the sense of smell, and the love life of Rilkein other words, his preoccupations are impossible to predict, a vast compendium from "microbe to Yahweh." His poems, with their sleeves-rolled-up approach, are encyclopedic in their range; at the same time they are transcendent missives, New Englandly trenchant in their ironies, in their gallows-humor. "Suppose you're a solo native here On one planet rolling The lily of the pad and valley
