Next spring Norton will publish his new collection, American Sonnets . He received the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize in 1996. About Poetry (In the current issue.) Founded in Chicago by Harriet Monroe in 1912, Poetry is the oldest monthly devoted to verse in the English-speaking world. Harriet Monroe's "Open Door" policy, set forth in 1911, remains the most succinct statement of Poetry 's mission: to print the best poetry written today, in whatever style, genre, or approach. The Magazine established its reputation early by publishing the first important poems of T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, H. D., William Carlos Williams, Carl Sandburg, and other now-classic authors. In succeeding decades it has presented, often for the first time, works by virtually every significant poet of the century. Today Poetry is generally regarded as the premier journal of verse; the poet and critic Marvin Bell has said that it is "the first periodical to which one goes seeking both new work by our best poets and thorough reviews of poetry." Poetry has always been independent, unaffiliated with any institution or university or with any single poetic or critical movement or aesthetic school. It continues to print the major American poets, while presenting emerging talents, in all their variety. In recent years, between a quarter and a third of the authors published in the Magazine have been new or younger writers appearing there for the first time. The Magazine receives over 80,000 manuscript submissions a year, from around the world. In a recent poll conducted by

Today he lives in New Jersey and continues to write both poetry and prose. (Photo by Martin J. Desht) About American Sonnets In his thirteenth collection, the 1998 National Book Award winner in Poetry presents us with fifty-nine "Stern sonnets," twenty or so lines rather than the traditional fourteen. Using the events of his life as starting points, Stern moves from the personal to the mystic as he takes on or is taken over by critical or amusing or revealing moments. "I felt," he says, "like an archaeologist, I bent to a task that had the earnestness and seriousness of a dig." "Gerald Stern is a romantic with a sense of humor, an Orphic voice living inside history, a sometimes comic, sometimes tragic visionary... [helping] us to live in the world as it is, converting our losses, transforming death and sadness into singing."

“I think I have a bone somewhere in my spine, or a wire somewhere in my system, or a feather, that attracts me endlessly to the ruined and fallen.” New Jersey’s first poet laureate GERALD STERN often lays claim to places and things other people have abandoned. His poems explore past time and heritage, seeking to relocate them in an ecstatic present. In this quest, the poems resemble spiritual acts. They bestow attention upon all living beings and offer consolation for their senseless suffering. His ten books of poetry include the recent volumes, Last Blue This Time: New and Selected Poems (1998), and Odd Mercy (1995). Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1925, he published his first collection, Rejoicings (1973), when he was forty-six, and his second book, Lucky Life, won the Lamont Poetry Prize in 1976. Gerald Stern has received many honors and awards, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Academy of American Poets, a Bess Hoskin Award, and a National Book Award for This Time . Having taught at dozens of colleges and universities, he now lives in Lambertville, New Jersey, and in Manhattan.

Gerald Stern >> back to poet page >> back to book page Three Hearts A chicken with three hearts, that is a vanished breed, a day of glory in the corn, romance against a fence. It was the sunset just above New Egypt that made me wince, it was the hay blown up from Lakewood. God of chance, how much I loved you in those days, how free I felt and what a joy it was sitting there with my book, my two knees braced against the dashboard. How empty it was then, and how my mind went back. How many hearts did the chickadee have? How much whistling and singing was in those fields? How far did I have to go to disappear in those grasses, to pick those trillium? My Death for Now I have settled down to watch the branches growing vertically from two dead limbs. It's what I do all day. I raise my left arm and hunch my shoulder over. My leg is asleep, which is my death for now, although sometimes I raise both arms and let the fingers turn on the vertical branches; then my hands are dead, not just my leg. It is the middle of January and there is a sheet of ice and there are berries and leftover leaves and even a few old weed stalks.

If you’re a poet, your job is that of a reader who occasionally writes. Speaking during a Conversation On the Life of the Poet at Festival 2002 For New Jersey’s first poet laureate (2000-2002), GERALD STERN, nothing is too small or insignificant to deserve either praise or lamentation. In twelve books of poetry, he has celebrated the presence and mourned the passing of people, places, and objects rarely honored with such careful attention. His recent volumes include American Sonnets Last Blue (2000), and This Time: New and Selected Poems (1998 National Book Award). Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he published his first collection, Rejoicings (1973), when he was forty-six. His second book, Lucky Life, won the Lamont Poetry Prize three years later. Stern’s many honors and awards include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Academy of Arts and Letters, the Ruth Lilly Prize, and three NEA grants. He has taught at dozens of colleges and universities, and now lives in Lambertville, New Jersey, and in Manhattan.
