    It's because the earth continues to wobble on its axis that we continue to stumble down the streets of the heart. It's because of the loneliness of the first cell trying to swim through its primordial pool that we are filled with a kind of galactic fear. For example: one moment a rocket falls capriciously into a square. Another moment, a rogue wave turns over the fishing boat whose crew leaves their memories floating like an oil slick that never reaches shore.

    Everyone loves a story. Let's begin with a house. We can fill it with careful rooms and fill the rooms with things-tables, chairs, cupboards, drawers closed to hide tiny beds where children once slept or big drawers that yawn open to reveal....

    Watch this video of Marie Howe reading a poem, The Gate ~ short and sweet. Her book, What the Living Do is also worthy of more than one read.
  • anonymous on 30 Apr 08
     
    A second volume of poetry by Howe, What the Living Do: Poems (1997), is a collection of forty-eight poems about what the living do after the death of a loved one. A Publishers Weekly reviewer commented, "The tentative transformation of agonizing, slow-motion loss into redemption is Howe's signal achievement in this wrenching second collection." The reviewer added that the poet's consciousness becomes consumed with thoughts of a brother dying of AIDS and travels over the territory of both everyday life and the childhood memories of the poet. The Publishers Weekly critic praised the book calling the poems "rigorously crafted in their long, open lines of taut, precise language," and added that the collection revealed Howe's "power as a metaphysician for the coming century of fractured faith."

    "It's true. Richard Jackson's underground river beneath the Nile is six times bigger. Many small rivers joined it (him) and empowered his voice. Yes, he does this to his peers. You, tender, wise, wounded, generous and responsible child, your melody is unmistakably only yours. Have you eaten us? Do we flow too?" -- Tomaz Šalamun

    Phil Levine on poetry, learning, his mother and his book of poems, The Mercy I was very lucky to have a mother who encouraged me to become a poet. ... But she loved poetry, fiction, music; that a son of hers would devote himself to this art thrilled her. Only the final poem in the book was written after her death, which was in the spring of last year just after she turned ninety-four. I did not see her death coming. The last time I spoke with her she sounded very snappy and was looking forward to my new book. I hope the book contains some of her zest for life, some of her belief in the power of beauty, some of her great humor. As a teacher you too must have known many young people who wanted to pursue poetry but were discouraged by their families. I'm one lucky guy to have had Esther Levine for my mother.
