21. The Sleep Of Grass, A Tribute In Poetry To William Stafford
    A collection of poems . . . in tribute to william stafford. An online memorial in honor of the late poet.  
    http://www.newsfromnowhere.com/home.html
    
    Extractions: I have inherited an oval letter tin painted by my mother before I was born. Recently she has returned to this same style known as tole painting. Some people describe it as decorative but that's not seeing very far into things. This tin of mine has always been for lettersboth coming and going. Almost 40 years worth. All these poems have spent the night in there. Those feral and yet sensuous flowers she so carefully shaped in muted colors express a desire to see the world as one's own place. Not the way history or the news or worriers say it is. Not resigned to any of those absolute or scientifically proven versions of reality. Simply recognizing that the world you love is the one you allow yourself to see. So she paints on bread boxes, trivets, letter holders and a hundred other household and everyday items maybe in part so others know her world exists, but mostly for herself. Just one of the ways she remembers herself. And I imagine how we remember her. This little tribute started off early in 1993 intending to become a birthday gift for William's 80th the following January. After his death the shape changed some but not the intention or destination. What you have now is a piece of lost mail pursuing an elusive address. One that is nowhere and, as Dorothy Stafford says, "is everywhere now." Above all I hoped for a birthday gift pleasing to him and heartfelt by those contributing.

22. William Stafford
    A brief remembrance of william stafford. in Hutchinson, Kansas on January 17, 1914, william Edgar stafford grew up with parents who listened to both Robert Bly and Kim stafford, williams son

    Extractions: William Stafford (1914-1993) B orn in Hutchinson, Kansas on January 17, 1914, William Edgar Stafford grew up with parents who listened to their children’s ideas. They also loved to read, and would "luxuriate in stories." In terms of literary influences, Stafford consistently claimed his mother to be most significant. His father’s generosity comes through in a story William told of being on a walk with him and seeing a hawk land in a cottonwood across a field. When they approached the tree, his father said, "Bill, maybe your eyes are better than mine. Maybe you will be the one to see the hawk." By such moves his father brought him right alongside him, even as a "partner." William Stafford This closeness with his parents and his decision to be a conscientious objector to the Second World War, place him outside the turbulent waters of the majority of the literature during the first fifty years of his life. It’s interesting to note several other poets who were born that same year, 1914: Randal Jarrell, Dylan Thomas, and John Berryman. Jarrell’s work was described as the "poetry of desperation," Thomas’s chronic alcoholism brought about his early death, and Berryman threw himself from a bridge. Not to make light of the very real pain these men experienced, but the contrast to Stafford’s life is stark. At some point he left the "steady" Kansas land and went into the world. Yet within that new vulnerability he drew on his past to make a kind of shelter in the storm. His art is anything but ignorant of the aggression and menacing nature of the 1940's.

    Extractions: William Stafford Memorial Page! Born in Hutchinson, Kansas, in 1914, William Stafford was one of our most prolific and celebrated poets. He was a witness for peace, and for honesty, recognizing in his writing that "justice will take us millions of intricate moves." Author of over fifty books, and recipient of the National Book Award for Traveling through the Dark William Stafford was a long-time friend of Graywolf Press and he published Smoke's Way , a collection of poems from limited editions, with Graywolf in 1983. Publishing The Way It Is in 1998, five years after Stafford's death, brought us in even closer contact with Stafford's family, friends, colleagues, students, and fans of which, we soon realized, there are a countless number. William Stafford often wrote a poem each day, including on the day of his death. We are particularly grateful to have this last poem.

    Extractions: William Edgar Stafford was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, on January 17, 1914, to Ruby Mayher and Earl Ingersoll Stafford. The eldest of three children, Stafford grew up with an appreciation for nature and books. His father hunted and trapped and made the young William aware of what David Carpenter has called the "non-human Otherness in nature." During the Depression the family moved from town to town as Earl Stafford searched for jobs. William helped to support the family also, by delivering papers, working in the sugar beet fields, raising vegetables, and as an electrician's mate. In 1933 Stafford graduated from high school in Liberal, Kansas, and attended Garden City and El Dorado junior colleges, graduating from the University of Kansas in 1937. In 1939 Stafford enrolled at the University of Wisconsin to begin graduate studies in Economics, but by the next year he had returned to Kansas to earn his master's degree in English. When the United States entered World War II in 1941 Stafford was drafted before he could obtain his degree. As a registered pacifist, Stafford worked in camps and projects for conscientious objectors in Arkansas, California, and Illinois. He spent 1942 to1946 in these work camps and was paid $2.50 per month for assigned duties such as fire fighting, soil conservation, and building and maintaining roads and trails. In 1944 while in California Stafford met and married Dorothy Frantz, the daughter of a minister of the Church of the Brethren.

26. About William Stafford
    About william stafford. Richard Howard. 3. If we attend to chronology, william stafford is a member of the tragic generation of American poets.  
    http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/s_z/stafford/about.htm
    
    Extractions: About William Stafford Richard Howard Born in 1914, Stafford was drafted in 1940, and severed as a conscientious objector throughout the war (forestry, soil conservation in Arkansas and California); in 1948, Stafford published his master's thesis, a book about conscientious objectors, Down in My Heart (whose title collides meaningfully with that of his first book, West of Your City ), and it was not until he was forty-six that that first book of poems was ready. From Alone With America Donald Hall 2. Stafford is a poet of ordinary life. His collected poems are the journal of a man recording daily concerns. That is why his daily method of writing is relevant to his life's work. You could say that his poetry is truly quotidian: he writes it every day; it comes out of every day. And the poet of the quotidian did not find it necessary to become maudit, to follow Hart Crane to the waterfront or Baudelaire to the whorehouse or even Lowell to McLean's. He got up at six in the morning in a suburb of Portland and drained the sump. 3. If we attend to chronology, William Stafford is a member of the tragic generation of American poets. Stafford was born in 1914, the same year as Weldon Kees and Randall Jarrell and John Berryman, three suicides; Delmore Schwartz was born in 1913, and Robert Lowell in 1917. How wonderfully the survivor contrasts. What makes him so different? Like Lowell, Stafford was a C. O. [conscientious objector] during the Second War. Like Berryman and Kees he came from the Midwest. But Stafford is a low-church Christian far from the rhetorical Catholicism that Lowell and Berryman entertained. I suspect that his survival is related not merely to his Christianity but to his membership in a small, embattled, pacifist sect.

Reading these I'm reminded how much faith Stafford had in his own process of writing, in his own life. That kind of trust stands in stark contrast to much of the fretful and jittery teaching and criticism that often goes unchallenged these days. For new and experienced poets alike there may be no stronger tonic for the many ills that assail the writing life than Stafford's poems and his many essays about writing.

Add to a Notebook William Stafford William Stafford was born in Hutchinson, Kansas, in 1914. He received a B.A. and an M.A. from the University of Kansas at Lawrence and, in 1954, a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. During the Second World War, Stafford was a conscientious objector and worked in the civilian public service camps-an experience he recorded in the prose memoir Down My Heart (1947). He married Dorothy Hope Frantz in 1944; they had four children. In 1948 Stafford moved to Oregon to teach at Lewis and Clark College. Though he traveled and read his work widely, he taught at Lewis and Clark until his retirement in 1980. His first major collection of poems, Traveling Through the Dark , was published when Stafford was forty-eight. It won the National Book Award in 1963. He went on to publish more than sixty-five volumes of poetry and prose. Among his many honors and awards were a Shelley Memorial Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Western States Lifetime Achievement Award in Poetry. In 1970, he was the Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (a position currently known as the Poet Laureate). Stafford's poems are often deceptively simple. Like

    Extractions: Stafford (1914-93) wrote over 35 books of poetry and prose (e.g., Even in Quiet Places, LJ 6/1/96). This book contains reflections on other poets and their work, a selection of Stafford's own work, and thoughts on the art of writing poetry, including a section on teaching. Poetry has increased in popularity of late, and this book would make an interesting accompaniment to a readers' group studying poetry. It helps readers get inside the writer's head and understand the process of poetry. The poem "An Afternoon in the Stacks" begins "Closing the book, I find I have left my head inside." Readers will have the same experience here.Lisa J. Cihlar, P.L., Wis.

I do try to comment on the various speculations and possibilities that have surfaced over the years. With the fourth generation, I increased my reliance on Family Lore and deduction.
