Lisel Mueller - Lisel Mueller Another Version by Lisel Mueller Our trees are aspens, but people mistake them for birches; they think of us as characters in a Russian novel, Kitty and Levin living contentedly in the country. Our friends from the city watch the birds and rabbits feeding together on top of the deep, white snow. (We have Russian winters in Illinois, but no sleighbells, possums instead of wolves, no trusted servants to do our work.) As in a Russian play, an old man lives in our house, he is my father; he lets go of life in such slow motion, year after year, that the grief is stuck inside me, a poisoned apple that won't go up or down. But like the three sisters, we rarely speak of what keeps us awake at night; like them, we complain about things that don't really matter and talk of our pleasures and of the future: we tell each other the willows are early this year, hazy with green. SCENIC ROUTE by Lisel Mueller For Lucy, who called them "ghost houses." Someone was always leaving and never coming back.

PULITZER POET April 14, 1997 TRANSCRIPT Elizabeth Farnsworth talks with this year’s winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The poet is Lisel Mueller, who won the prize for "Alive Together," a collection representing 35 years of her work. JIM LEHRER: Finally tonight, a conversation with this year’s winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and to Elizabeth Farnsworth. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The poet is Lisel Mueller, who won the prize for "Alive Together," a collection representing 35 years of her work. Her father was a German intellectual whose opposition to Hitler forced the family to flee to America in 1939, when Lisel Mueller was 15. She has published seven books of poetry and has won, among other prizes, the National Book Award and the Carl Sandburg Prize. She has taught writing at Goddard College and the University of Chicago. And she joins us now from Chicago. Thank you very much for being with us, Mrs. Mueller, and congratulations. LISEL MUELLER, Pulitzer Prize Winner, Poetry: Thanks. I’m delighted to be here.

Vision Disorder Summary Claude Monet (18401926) was a French impressionist painter. As he aged, he developed cataracts, but refused to have them surgically removed. In this 46-line free verse poem, Monet, the speaker, tries to make the doctor understand his reasons for refusing the operation. What the doctor sees as deterioration, an "aberration" and an "affliction," is for the artist the result of a long process of development, a kind of culmination of his life's work: exploring the way that people (rather than eyes) see. For Monet, removing the cataracts would "restore / my youthful errors" of vision, a world seen according to "fixed notions" of discrete objects rather than as the flux of pure light it has become. Monet wishes the doctor could see what he does: "if only you could see / how heaven pulls earth into its arms . . . ." Commentary Mueller cleverly disrupts accepted notions of disability and health by having the artist argue so articulately for the value of his mature vision. He takes responsibility for his conditionto him, it is the result of work, not of an organic flaw. The doctor seems oddly literalminded and misguided (and so, in a way, blind) for saying "there are no haloes / around the streetlamps" just because he can't see them himself. The poem, with its lucid verbal recreation of Monet's painting style, forms an eloquent argument for the importance of listening to patients.
