This Old Poem #80: Dana Gioia’s Money Dana ‘ Sugar Daddy ’ Gioia has a website: http://www.danagioia.net/ . DG is also the head of America’s NEA (National Endowment for the Arts). He’s also a crass, materialistic Republican who supports wasting tax dollars on the arts. Something’s wrong here. Let me start again . Dana Gioia is a bad poet. Dana Gioia is a mediocre (at best) critic. I can feel it comin’ back to me! Personal Background Poet, critic, and best-selling anthologist, Dana Gioia is one of America’s leading contemporary men of letters. Winner of the American Book Award, Gioia is internationally recognized for his role in reviving rhyme, meter, and narrative in contemporary poetry. An influential critic, he has combined populist ideals and high standards to bring poetry to a broader audience. (You can let out that snicker now) Gioia (pronounced JOY-A) (How many English speakers were stumped with that pronunciation?) was born of Italian and Mexican descent in Los Angeles in 1950. The first member of his family to attend college, he received a B.A. from Stanford University. Before returning to Stanford to earn an M.B.A., he completed an M.A. in Comparative Literature at Harvard University where he studied with the poets Robert Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Bishop. In 1977 he moved to New York to begin a career in business. For fifteen years Gioia worked as a business executive, eventually becoming a Vice President of General Foods. Writing at night and on weekends, he also established a major literary reputation. In 1992 he left business to become a full-time writer.

"The danger with consensus art, though, is blandness and mediocrity; indeed the strongest argument against federal involvement in the arts has always been that Washington would stifle eccentricity and risk-taking the mechanisms that propel progress in the arts no less than in the marketplace. " Home Bookninja 03-18-2004 09:54 PM ET (US) Gioia Is Changing the NEA From "an organization which has traditionally seen itself as serving the arts community into an agency which serves the American people.'' I guess what he means to say is that those who have ponied up to the trough for the last little while will be feeding next to some new folks. I just find it so hard to trust anyone who has W's support. Home Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer 02-25-2004 10:47 AM ET (US) BN, can you link again to the original article?
