Extractions: Word has just been released that poet Dana Gioia has been chosen as the intended nominee to head the National Endowment for the Arts. It is a rare pleasure to find oneself in whole-hearted agreement with anything implemented by the current administration in Washington. But then, Gioia himself is a rarity: a public intellectual of substance and originality. A loud hooray is issuing from these quarters! For the first time in its history, the National Endowment for the Arts will be headed by a poet. Gioia's credentials as an artist are impeccable. He has published three full-length books of poetry: Daily Horoscope (1986), The Gods of Winter (1991), and Interrogations at Noon The Gods of Winter was chosen by London's Poetry Society Book Club as their main selection, an honor rare for American authors. In the United States, the book was co-winner of the Poets' Prize. Reviewing Interrogations at Noon, British critic William Oxley described Gioia as "probably the most exquisite poet writing today in English." Susan Balée, writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer

For example, one can look at "The Misfit's Misguided Quest for Love" by studying "Bartleby" by Melville and "The Overcoat" by Gogol.Another good pairing is to study "Lost Love and Alcohol" by looking at "Babylon Revisted" by Fitzgerald and "The Swimmer" by John Cheever.

More Drunken Sailor Behavior or justifiable this time? Much of the conversation about this seems to be revolving around the Gioia's qualities and the direction in which he's taking the agency. Here's his website Barbara Nicolosi met him last year and blogged about it here.

Extractions: Winter 2001/2002 Interrogations at Noon Dana Gioia Graywolf Press ($14) by Michael McIrvin have long been suspicious of poets who write in form because form runs counter to the world bequeathed us: we know the infinite reticulations of matter are as random as a thunderbolt, for example, and consequently our attempts to make it all cohere remain provisional by definition and therefore our language must be fluid, transformational, always in flux. Which is to say, the urge to form is at once human (the need to temporarily freeze in time what flows past us and through us) and thus the impetus for all poetry, all writing, all art and nostalgic, especially if it includes reaching after an ideal of order when we no longer believe in the possibility. Somewhere in human history a sonnet could hold the world because we knew the world as a series of observable cause and effect relationships that reflected the divine will. In short, we knew the world precisely as order, and thus poets had little trouble pouring everything they knew into 14 lines with a particular rhyme schemethe form itself was a natural thing that rode into creation on the breath of God. What better participation in the universe than to actualize incipient form, to turn our thoughts and emotions into a palpable thing? But then we awoke to the bloodbath that is human history, and any notion of order crumbled into the dirt, sonnets and villanelles included. For how could such perfect vessels hold this terrible carnage, the poets asked? How could form exist at all in art when it doesn't exist out there, in the world at large? The trick became, and remains, how to speak at all; but more of this in a moment.

Extractions: (AP/Wide World Photo ) There is no central ministry of culture that sets national policy for the arts in the United States government. The two national endowments the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) provide grant support for individual artists and scholars and for arts and humanities institutions. While the NEA budget $115 million for fiscal year 2003 is quite modest when compared to other nations' public arts funding, private donations have always provided the major support for American culture. Private spending for the arts in the United States for the year 2002 has been calculated at roughly $12.1 billion. During its nearly four decades of existence, the NEA, whose goals are to encourage excellence and to bring art to all Americans, has used its funds as a spark for private beneficence. When Dana Gioia took over the NEA chairmanship early in 2003, he brought unusually broad cultural expertise to the position. Known mostly as a poet and essayist, Gioia spent 15 years as a corporate executive, writing verse in his spare time, before becoming a full-time artist. His pivotal 1991 reflection on his craft, "Does Poetry Matter?" (see Bibliography) originally a magazine article later was expanded into a book and continues to fuel spirited discussion. He has also written newspaper, magazine, and radio commentaries on music, film, literature, and art, and has composed librettos for operas.

http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itsv/0403/ijsf/frgioia.htm

Extractions: (Photo AP/Wide World) Il n'existe pas, au sein du gouvernement des États-Unis, de ministère de la culture habilité à établir la politique nationale en matière d'art. Deux organismes nationaux - la Fondation nationale pour les arts ( National Endowment for the Arts , ou NEA) et la Fondation nationale pour les lettres ( National Endowment for the Humanities , ou NEH) - accordent des subventions aux artistes et universitaires ainsi qu'aux institutions spécialisées dans les arts et les lettres. Le budget de la NEA est modeste, comparé aux sommes que d'autres pays consacrent aux arts, et ce sont les dons privés qui ont toujours apporté le plus gros soutien financier aux activités culturelles américaines. En 2002, les dépenses privées consacrées aux arts aux États-Unis ont été évaluées à quelque 12,1 milliards de dollars. Durant ses près de quarante ans d'existence, la NEA, qui a pour objectif d'encourager l'excellence et de mettre les arts à la portée de tous les Américains, a utilisé ses fonds pour stimuler la générosité du secteur public. Nanti d'une expérience culturelle peu commune, Dana Gioia a accédé à la présidence de la NEA au début de 2003. Connu principalement comme poète et essayiste, il avait été pendant quinze ans cadre d'entreprise, consacrant ses heures de loisir à la poésie avant de s'y vouer à plein temps. Son idée maîtresse sur son art, qu'il avait d'abord exposée en 1991 dans un article de revue et qu'il a développée par la suite dans son livre

Verse, argued Dana Gioia in an Atlantic Monthly article, had become invisible to the general public. Universities harbored hundreds of poets writing solely for the delectation of other faculty-based poets; general-interest periodicals had dropped any mention of poetry from their pages; poetry journals and books reached a miniscule readership. Gioia offered several specific prescriptionsfew of which seemed likely to appeal to the patientfor bringing poetry back into the mainstream. The article (and Can Poetry Matter?, the book from which it was drawn) caused an uproar in literary circles and resonated well beyond them.
