    Extractions: Old People on the Nursing Home Porch Genre Poem Keywords Aging Death and Dying Dementia Disability ... Time Summary The old sit "on the porch in rockers / Letting the faded light / Of afternoon carry them off." The narrator visualizes them mulling over the past as they rock back and forth. Although the old people cover "ground / They did not know was there," they learn nothing new in this. They receive no redemptive message, not even "a reason / To make it seem worthwhile." In fact, evening comes and soon it will be time for them to go to their solitary beds and fall into the "sheepless / Pastures of a long sleep." Commentary In this clearly-written poem, Strand creates a single, sustained image: a porch of elderly persons rocking quietly in the face of meaninglessness. There is no redemption, there is no escape but death. Perhaps, however, it is their isolation in the nursing home that robs them (and their stories) of meaning. What if they were rocking instead on the porches of their own homes, or the homes of their children?

    Extractions: Jane was right. What I had told her and Dick was a fiction. I had invented inadequacy on the public's part and limitation on the poet's part. I knew very well that what I consider 'doing justice' in characterizing an event, or our feelings about it is in itself an act of betrayal, that feelings communicated by language are in fact made up to resemble what we imagine our feelings to have been, or ought to have been. Every poet knows that there has to be something in his writing that embodies feeling, something that goes beyond merely referring to it. The poem must make the reader or listener believe that he is inside an emotional moment, however protracted. The event that would be recalled takes on a secondary role as if it was merely what called forth the poem, simply the occasion for the release of feelings that had always dwelled in us.

    Extractions: About Mark Strand's Poetry Richard Howard T he poems tell one story and one story only: they narrate the moment when Strand makes Rimbaud's discovery, that je est un autre, that the self is someone else, even something else; "The Mailman," "The Accident," "The Door," "The Tunnel," even "The Last Bus" with its exotic Brazilian stage-properties, all recount the worst, realizing every apprehension, relishing the things possible only in one's wildest fantasies of victimization, and then with a shriek as much of delight as of despair, fall upon the fact- It will always be this way. scared that you will stay that the victimizer is, precisely, the self, and that the victim is the other, is others. Strand is both nervous and morbid, and a consideration of finality is his constant project, sustained here by shifting the responsibility for the imminent wreck from "the reaches of ourselves" to the ambiguity instinct in language.

    Extractions: I am writing from a place you have never been, Where the trains don't run, and planes Don't land, a place to the west, Where heavy hedges of snow surround each house, Where the wind screams at the moon's blank face, Where the people are plain, and fashions, If they come, come late and are seen As forms of oppression, sources of sorrow. This is a place that sparkles a bit at 7 p.m., Then goes out, and slides into the funeral home Of the stars, and everyone dreams of floating Like angels in sweet-smelling habits, Of being released from sundry services Into the round of pleasures there for the asking Days like pages torn from a family album, Endless reunions, the heavenly choir at the barbecue Adjusting its tone to serve the occasion, And everyone staring, stunned into magnitude. Dark Harbor

I give up my mouth which is the contstant dream of my tongue. I give up my throat which is the sleeve of my voice. I give up my heart which is a burning apple. I give up my lungs which are trees that have never seen the moon. I give up my smell which is that of a stone traveling through rain. I give up my hands which are ten wishes. I give up my arms which have wanted to leave me anyway. I give up my legs which are lovers only at night. I give up my buttocks which are the moons of childhood. I give up my penis which whispers encouragement to my thighs. I give up my clothes which are walls that blow in the wind and I give up the ghost that lives in them. I give up. I give up. And you will have none of it because already I am beginning again without anything.
