POET REVIEWED:
Reese Thompson on J.D. McClatchy
THE HAZARDOUS PARTS OF J.D. McCLATCHY
J.D. McClatchy HAZMAT by Reese Thompson
There are times, thumbing though the pages of Hazmat, J.D. McClatchy’s latest collection, that one has the sense of entering a very clean, very beautifully furnished house, where not a knick-knack is out of place, not a doorknob unpolished; every square inch having received approval from feng-shui guru and Ethan Allen interior design consultant alike. Other times, McClatchy gives the reader a sense of sightseeing in a fetish/sex dungeon, which happens to be in the basement of a cathedral. What sets McClatchy apart from almost every other formalist poet writing today is his ability to neatly frame his uniquely un-tidy subject. His technical confidence plays counterpoint to a personal insecurity, lodged deep within the psyche. In McClatchy’s Poetry of the Body, it’s of interest that he should begin with the heart, as in “Fado”: Suppose my heart had broken
Out of its cage of bone… Suppose then I could hold it
Out towards you, could feel

    Authors: Werner Hamacher is Professor of German and Humanities at Johns Hopkins
    "Poetry does not impose, it exposes itself," wrote Paul Celan. Werner Hamacher's investigations into crucial texts of philosophical and literary modernity show that Celan's apothegm is also valid for the structure of understanding and for language in general. "Subject position" is widely invoked today, yet Hamacher is the first to thoroughly investigate the premises for this invocation. He demonstrates that the promise of a subject position is not only unavoidable - and thus produces more and more fundamentalisms - but is also unattainable and therefore always open to innovation, revision, and unexpected transformation. In a book that is both philosophical and literary, Hamacher gives us the fullest account of the vast disruption in the very nature of our understanding that was first unleashed by Kant's critique of human subjectivity.

    "By this century, poets and picture makers were as intimately associated as poets and musicians had been. This superb collection of utterly characteristic, scintillant, and riveting writings by Yeats, Pound, Williams, Lawrence, Stein, Stevens, Auden, cummings, Rexroth, and 16 others demonstrates how firmly cemented that intimacy is."Ray Olson, Booklist "J. D. McClatchy has addressed a topic of real interest. . . . I think this is a book that many painters might well read with pleasure."Christopher Reid, Times Literary Supplement "It is invigorating to read about art in writings by sensitive, intelligent observers who love art but are not art critics. . . . These writers are so gloriously themselves in these works. It is an object lesson in the truth that a great writer's style and preoccupations are not just put on like a coat but grow from within and find their way to the surface no matter the subject at hand."Stevenson Swanson, Chicago Tribune "Although they agree on little else in the inspiringly cross-purposed jumble of their enthusiasms, these essays return again and again to the belief that looking at art moves us into a larger and more spacious world, into a state of consciousness most simply described as spiritual. This beliefsometimes at the center of the essay, sometimes hovering around its edgesgives these pieces, taken in the aggregate, a significance beyond what any one of them would have had by itself."Jim Moore

    James Merrill
    “Poets don’t write first of all in English or American so much as each in an idiom peculiar to himself.”
    James Merrill reads "A Downward Look"

    listen

    That was the first principle of poet James Merrill. The mid-century Golden Boy of American poetry. While the wild-eyed, wild- haired beat poets and bards of pop song took Walt Whitman’s style to the edge of meaning to howl about the condition of American society, Merrill looked into his own world and with great lyrical precision forged that “idiom peculiar to himself.” Merrill was born into the Aristocracy of Money. His father co-founded Merrill Lynch. It was a world of beauty and refinement, with Merrill himself the most beautiful and refined thing in it.

    It was also a gay world in which the closet door was just on the verge of being opened. What his eye fell on he wrote about, from emerald rings to Ouija boards. Golden boy, silver voice.

    Booster Shots
    Today's poetry critics veer dangerously close to mere cheerleading. By Adam Kirsch TWENTY QUESTIONS, by J.D. McClatchy. Columbia University Press, 200 pages, $22.50. A WAY OF HAPPENING: OBSERVATIONS OF CONTEMPORARY POETRY, by Fred Chappell. Picador, 322 pages, $24. It is sometimes thought that criticism flourishes most at times when creative vigor is in deficit," wrote T.S. Eliot, the last great poet-critic in English. "Rather, you may say that the development of criticism is a symptom of the development, or change, of poetry." By this standard, poetry today is stagnating; there is no impassioned criticism being written by poets, there is no one to help us redefine the past as a way of seeing a new future for the art. In their own ways, J.D. McClatchy and Fred Chappell, poet-critics of very dissimilar temper and ability, both illustrate the predicament of criticism today; their two books, for all their differences, seem to be stuck in neutral, content to describe the state of poetry without burning to change it. And, without intending to, they bear out Eliot's dictum: only criticism that aims to change poetry is worthy of the name. McClatchy and Chappell labor at opposite poles of the literary world. Chappell, a professor at the University of North Carolina, writes determinedly practical criticism; more reviewer than critic, and more explainer than reviewer, he is content to act as a tour guide through vast tracts of mediocrity and obscurity. Virtually every book he discusses in

    Laws of Gravity
    A poet draws subtle and erudite lessons from the rules we (sometimes) live by. By Graham Christian THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, by J.D. McClatchy. Alfred A. Knopf, 104 pages, $21. Canonization, we are told, requires, in addition to evidence of an exemplary life, at least three well-attested miracles. Harold Bloom, in his famously controversial The Western Canon , elevated poet J.D. McClatchy's previous book, The Rest of the Way , to his own modern literary canon of texts. Though this gesture may seem a little premature even the Vatican waits until after the death of a candidate for sainthood before examining the case the appearance of a new volume gives us new reason to weigh the high praise that Bloom's inclusion of McClatchy implies. McClatchy's work has always been characterized by a deep familiarity with the vigorous poetic traditions of the English Renaissance, as well as by a consuming curiosity about the living poetry of his own day. He has been not only a poet but a profoundly sensitive critic of poetry; for the past seven years McClatchy has stood at the editorial helm of the prestigious Y ale Review The Ten Commandments , McClatchy's fourth book of poetry, is organized by the precepts of the Decalogue of Moses. There can be a certain paint-by-numbers danger in the strictness of such an approach, but we see in McClatchy's treatment that these commandments predict, and encompass, the range of human pleasures and failings. His formal skill is enviable, from the elegiac distichs of "Auden's OED" to the subtle syllabic stanzas that shape the volume's strongest poems.

    "Two Deaths, Two Lives"

    By J.D. McClatchy
    University of Wisconsin Press
    We have seen the best minds of our generation destroyed by AIDS, and Loss Within Loss (University of Wisconsin Press), a collection of essays about 25 of those inspired but interrupted lives written by comrades and lovers, is our unique "Howl." Here is an excerpt from "Two Deaths, Two Lives," by the poet J.D. McClatchy. WA
    EXCERPT For years before he died, everyone knew that [writer] Paul Monette was sick. It was his subject, his means to life. [Poet] James Merrill had told no one or no one but his lover and his lawyer, each sworn to secrecy. And until a slight physical erosion set in, years after his diagnosis, he kept the secret. In 1993, we traveled to the Glimmerglass Opera Festival in Cooperstown. One afternoon, Jimmy asked if I'd stop by his room. There was a bit of banter, then his face grew uncomfortably grim. "I want to lay something serious on you," he said....
