jerseyworks A REFLECTION ON THE POETRY OF GERALD STERN On November 3, New Jersey poet and National Book Award Winner Gerald Stern read from his work at Richard Stockton college. See, this is what Stern's poetry can do to you. You read along innocently enough, as though you are listening to a friend tell a story, and then all of a sudden a line halts you in your tracks. You stop, you reminisce, remembering when you shared a place or a feeling with the poet. When Stern writes of Paris, if you have been there, you remember your own Paris, which for me was San Francisco; when Stern writes of a man "who carried a leather bag of small red Bibles" and sang on the street, for some reason I'm reminded here of little toothless old Millie, who wore a bonnet like a child's and sold roses from a tray in the bars of Northbeach. Among dozens of other places, Stern sets his poetry in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Newark, Princeton, New Brunswick, New York City, and so if you are here in New Jersey he is on your turf. Following an opening reading by Stephen Dunn, Stern walked to center stage in front of an audience of a few hundred, which did not quite fill the small auditorium. He was a roundish, not very tall man, with a smile and a bald crown with wisps of hair sticking out to the sides. He wore baggy dark corduroy pants and a loose pale green shirt, and off and on a spiffy gray felt hat. He had big, rich voice that sometimes moved into Yiddish or French, and he had a story to go with every poem; he

Behaving Like A Jew by Gerald Stern This is Michael Carey for Voices from the Prairie Behaving Like A Jew When I got there the dead opossum looked like an enormous baby sleeping on the road. and the wind blowing through his hair to get back again into my animal sorrow. I am sick of the country, the bloodstained bumpers, the stiff hairs sticking out of the grilles, the slimy highways, the heavy birds refusing to move; I am sick of the spirit of Lindbergh over everything, that joy in death, that philosophical understanding of carnage, that concentration on the species. I am going to behave like a Jew and touch his face, and stare into his eyes, and pull him off the road. I am not going to stand in a wet ditch with the Toyotas and the Chevies passing over me at sixty miles an hour and praise the beauty and the balance and lose myself in the immortal lifestream when my hands are still a little shaky from his stiffness and his bulk and my eyes are still weak and misty from his round belly and his curved fingers and his black whiskers and his little dancing feet.

Gerald Stern The Red Coal (1999) ISBN 0-88748-309-7 $12.95 paper Gerald Stern was born in Pittsburgh and educated at the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia. The author of nine collections of poetry, he has won many awards, most recently the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. Other awards include a fellowship from the Academy of American Poets, The Paterson Poetry Prize, The Lamont Award, and grants from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. For thirteen years he was on the faculty of the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa. Currently he lives in Lambertville, New Jersey and New York City. The Red Coal, first published in 1981, won the Poetry Society of America's Melville Cane Award. In these poems Gerald Stern moves a huge passionate spirit, an immense vision singing the whole range of our tribal and individual feelings. With The Red Coal, Stern moves into the forefront as one of our finest, least dispensable poets. His emotional generosity is evident in every phase, every line every poem. Richard Hugo The intimacy and humor of Gerald Stern's poems is constantly fresh and astonishingly familiar. I read them as I would notes from a neghbor who I'm happy lives down the road.

Gerald Stern reading October 16, 2002 Box of Cigars I tried either one or two but they were stale and broke like sticks or crumbled when I rolled them and lighting a match was useless nor could I put them back in the refrigerator it was too late for thateven licking them filled my mouth with ground-up outer leaf, product of Lancaster or eastern Virginia, so schooled I am with cigars, it comes in the blood, and I threw handfuls of them into the street from three floors up and, to my horror, sitting on my stoop were four or five street people who ran to catch them as if they were suddenly rich, and I apologize for that, no one should be degraded that way, my hands were crazy, and I ran down to explain but they were smoking already nor did I have anything to give them since we were living on beans ourselves, I sat and smoked too, and once in a while we looked up at the open window, and one of us spit into his empty can.  We were visionaries. Gerald Stern’s most recent book is American Sonnets . He is the author of ten books of poetry including This Time and Last Blue .  His many other awards include the Lamont Prize, a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation, three National Endowment for the Arts awards, a fellowship from The Academy of Arts and Letters, and a Ruth Lilly Prize.  He has taught at numerous universities including Columbia University, New York University, Sarah Lawrence College, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Writers’ Workshop in Iowa City.  Stern now lives in New Jersey, where he is writing poems and a "kind of memoir."

Books 'This Time: New and Selected Poems' by Gerald Stern Pittsburgh poet unfurls a fine ‘This Time’ Sunday, December 13, 1998 By Peter Blair This Time: New and Selected Poems By Gerald Stern Norton Gerald Stern’s retrospective book, which earned him the National Book Award for Poetry this year, gathers a majority of his work from his nine previous collections. For 20 years, Stern has been a major force in contemporary poetry. The poems of this Pittsburgh native, known for their audacious sympathy, sense of place and immediate accessibility, have influenced a generation of American poets. His literary forebears are the Romantic poet Percy Shelley, whose passion for life and art Stern enacts, and Walt Whitman, whose expansive poetic lines and conversational tone are reflected in Stern’s work, humming with contemporary energy and wildness. Readers familiar with Stern will find old favorites along with new work and many out-of-print poems from his award-winning early collection, “Lucky Life.”

Books 'American Sonnets' by Gerald Stern Short-form poems aren't sonnets, but they are distinctly Stern Sunday, April 07, 2002 By Kevin Larimer American Sonnets By Gerald Stern Norton The poems in Gerald Stern’s new collection, “American Sonnets, ” are not sonnets. Ranging from 16 to 23 unrhymed lines, they share little with that form of Italian origin, which may be precisely the point: Much depends on the adjective in the title that places these poems. But more on that later. What is most compelling about the new book by Stern, winner of the 1998 National Book Award for “This Time: New and Selected Poems,” is not its formal elements. It is the evidence that they were written with the same kind of attention to detail almost obsessive, reallythat readers of Stern’s 12 previous books will find familiar. Stern is a poet with an eye forever focused on the natural world, and it is not always the neat, manicured world of gardens and hydrangeas.

You should see me explaining things to them, below the bridge this side of the river, not for one good second ridiculing them. I still am reading and thinking;
