Selected Reviews of Poetry by Heather McHugh "Heather McHugh's poems combine wit and jazzy rhythms with a daring lyric velocity...a tough intellect: playful, sarcastic, and self-critical...All of McHugh's poems accelerate toward the epigram, the aphorism, the attempt to contain the heart's impulsive rush of sentiment within the bounds of a rational sensibility...a fluent, exuberant poet whose work expresses deep sentiment while resisting facile sentimentality." Threepenny Review "From the start, she's been in rebellion, stubborn in keeping a traditional though wily music in her work, and uncommonly quick, quirky in her language...among American writers only a handful seemed to have the 'sufficient creative and critical sense to produce with a degree of sustained excellence.' One feels this balance quite alive in McHugh's best work..." American Poetry Review "Heather McHugh's wit and skill with language serve poetry's noblest purpose, which is to create feeling...McHugh is one of those rare poets who learns about the world by speaking of it, and her voicewild, intelligent, eclecticdelights as much as it instructs." Harvard Book Review "McHugh makes good Robert Creeley's blurb promise of 'articulate toughness' and 'bedrock wisdom.' Her poems are honest and essential as a blood count."

Vol 11 No. 31, Apr 18 - Apr 24 2002 Enter search words: -BOOKS- THE FLOW OF DESIRE Seductive, Evasive Heather McHugh by Colin Booy Lately I've been ambivalent toward contemporary (or postmodern, if you like) poetry. No doubt this is largely because of my experience (as a writing major at a liberal-arts college) of the cultural machine that produces it. Not that the professor-poets who populate higher education don't write beautiful versesome of them certainly do. But often it seems like a beauty that draws a cultural blank, a poetry taking place nowhere. It's hard to imagine someone being gripped by this work in the way that, say, the German thinker Walter Benjamin was by the urban poetry of Charles Baudelaire, compelling him as it did to so obsessively excavate 19th-century Paris in, at least partly, an effort to simply understand. I want to suggest, however, that such a reading is a little too neat, and that her work contains compelling resistances to this milieu. McHugh suggests as much: "The 'poetry of place' bores me: It takes place too literally." Rather, the place of her poetry is recombinative, moving with a deceptive ease that seems borrowed from the Northwest's urban environs. The opening stanza of "The Starrier the Scarier""So it looks./It seems to look./Appears to seem."has such an ease, both effusive and evasive, progressing even as it takes back. The final passages of another poem, "Streaming Audio," are characteristically indicative as self-commentary: "No real/is closable./It dreams of drumming Innisfree,/ but seems to mean it's live./ To last it has/ to flow, and so/ to stream it has to strive."

Heather McHugh Ghoti The gh comes from rough, the o from women's, and the ti from unmentionables presto: there's the perfect English instance of unlovablility complete with fish. Our wish was for a better revelation: for a correspondence if not lexical, at least phonetic; if not with Madonna then at least with Mary Magdalene. Instead we get the sheer opacity of things: an accident of incident, a tracery of history: the dung inside the dungarees, the jock strap for a codpiece, and the ruined patches bordering the lip. One boot (high-heeled) could make Sorrento sorry, Capri corny, even little Italy a little ill. Low-cased, a lover looks one over eggs without ease, semen without oars and there, on board, tricked out in fur and fin, the landlubber who wound up captain. Where's it going, this our (H)MS? More west? More forth? The quest itself is at a long and short behest: it's wound in winds. (Take rough from seas, and women from the shore, unmentionables out of mind). We're here for something rich, beyond appearances. What do I mean? (What can one say?)

Me he admonished to return his stare Correctly, without fear. Unless I could, Unblinking, more and more incline Toward a deep unblinkingness of his, He would not let me rest. Outside, In the dark of the world, at the foot Of the library steps, there lurked A Mercury of rust, its cab half-lit. (Two worldly forms who huddled there Knew what they meant. I had no business With the things they knew. Nor did I feel myself Drawn back through Circulation into Reference, Until I was completely in the blue Of its unstoppable TVs, all seven monitors abuzz With is's etymologies...)

The reading is sponsored by the Writers' Workshop and is free and open to the public. McHugh is the author most recently of the collection "Hinge and Sign: Poems 1968-1993," a National Book Award finalist and winner of the Pollock/Harvard Book Review prize. She has built a reputation as a rebellious poet working traditional forms, in conversation with the language. She recently published the essays "Broken English: Poetry and Partiality." The Village Voice Literary Supplement writes of her work: Heather McHugh's "poems are as honest and essential as a blood count . . . Her speech is stripped down to the last contraction, tested for resonance and worked back into idioms that can bear ironic weight. You can open anywhere, almost at random, and find plain revelations. By turning language into courage she manages to bounce you back from despair. Her poems are open, resilient, invisibly twisted: part safety net, part trampoline." Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney writes of McHugh's poetry: "Wonderful fluency and happy skepticism, the world beautifully seen and sung, the word relished and suspected. Lots of impulse and energy, bravura."

Her collection "Hinge & Sign: Poems 1968-1993" was a National Book Award finalist and chosen as Best Book of the Year by the New York Times and Publishers Weekly. In a review of "Hinge & Sign," Linda Gregerson wrote in the New York Times Book Review, "If ours were a more reverent country than the one John Ashbery and Heather McHugh gorgeously exemplify, these two would long ago have been made to endure the title of national treasures. For the treasure we too long have taken for granted our fractious, healing, double-dealing, on-the-make vernacular is nowhere so richly turned to account as in the poems they have been giving us for years." McHugh’s other works include "Shades," "To the Quick," a collection of critical essays titled "Broken English: Poetry and Partiality," a translation of Blaga Dimitrova’s "Because the Sea is Black," and a translation of Jean Follain’s "D’Apres Tout."

Squatter-pigeons occupied its nights, dreaming of drowning in glottals. Then suddenly some trucks arrived and hauled away enormous rusted remnants of the cannery's cookery. Inside a week, the great stained concrete that had poured down fifty years and twenty feet into the tide was sheathed in plywood trundled from a local lumberyard. The whole place bloomed with polyester greenery and sky-blue styrofoam. And sure enough, from somewhere south, with a flourish of romance, and a big RV, he brought his wife of decades here to live in dreamlandat the dead end of the island's eastmost street, where he would twinkle, she abide. The new red retort room now bore his greatest masterwork: nailed near the Wal-Mart welcome sign, a homemade

Speaking from inside of speaking, these two, being deeply incommensurate, may tell us more of telling (fore- and re-) than ever of a life, and life's two ends. But still one harbors a suspicion (sneaking) language has a longer memory than anyone, so anyone had better reconceive the all- essential pair: to die's ally becomes to bear.
