82. Thomas Lux Sux More Than Louise Gluck! TOP20DES18 This Old Poem 20 Thomas Lux’s Virgule Copyright © by Dan Schneider, 9/1/02. Thomas Lux is 1 of those smugly annoying http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP20-DES18.htm

This Old Poem #20: Thomas Lux’s Virgule GASP! underlined = cliché *** = poor line break bold italics = predictable workshop trope Virgule What I love about this little leaning mark is how it divides without divisiveness. The left or bottom side prying that choice up or out, the right or top side pressing down upon*** its choice: either/or, his/her. Sometimes called a slash (too harsh), a slant (a little dizzy, but the Dickinson association*** nice: "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant"), solidus (sounding*** too much like a Roman legionnaire of many campaigns), or a separatrix reminding one of a sexual*** variant). No, I like virgule . I like the word and I like the function: "Whichever is appropriate may be chosen to complete the sense." There is something democratic about that, grown-up; a long and slender walking stick set against the house. Virgule: it feels good in your mouth. Virgule: its foot on backwards , trochaic, that's OK, American. Virgule: you could name your son that, or your daughter Virgula . I'm sorry now I didn't think to give my daughter such a name though I doubt that she and/or her mother would share that thought.

83. Louise Gluck Sucks! TOP19JAS2 These Old Poems 19 louise gluck’s The Wild Iris The Red Poppy Copyright © by Jessica Schneider, 8/29/02. louise http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP19-JAS2.htm

These Old Poems #19: Louise Gluck’s The Wild Iris The Red Poppy Louise Gluck is one of those poets who could be likeable, but on no intellectual grounds. I say this because she is, in fact, probably the only MFA styled poet I’ve read that I’ve ever liked (sometimes) Hall of Shame? I personally don’t think she’s there yet. LG is a professor at William’s College and lives in Vermont. She’s won a Pulitzer Prize for what is supposed to be known as her best book The Wild Iris . This is the only book I’ve ever read by Gluck, but I’ve been told that her book following, Meadowlands , is pretty bad. But this is just what I’ve heard. So to be fair, I chose 2 poems from The Wild Iris , in attempt to put her best work forward. Let us begin with probably what is her “signature” poem for this book, the poem entitled “The Wild Iris”, and I think it is safe to say that Gluck probably thought this one of her better poems, since after all- it’s the title of her book. ( Note - clichés are italicized). The Wild Iris At the end of my suffering there was a door.

Nation Cambridge-based poet Gluck to be appointed US laureate By Mark Feeney, Globe Staff, 8/29/2003 Louise Gluck, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet who lives in Cambridge and teaches at Williams College, will be the next US poet laureate. Gluck's appointment as poet laureate consultant in poetry, the post's full title, will be announced today at the Library of Congress. ADVERTISEMENT ``I hadn't been expecting it,'' Gluck (pronounced GLICK) said in a telephone interview yesterday. ``I have very little taste for public life in the way they understand it. I didn't think I was the sort of person they'd ever look at.'' The appointment honors a poet's body of work. In naming Gluck, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington hailed her ``strong, vivid, deep poetic voice.'' David Lehman, editor of the ``Best American Poetry'' series, applauded Gluck's selection. Speaking in a telephone interview from his New York home, Lehman said, ``She's a very good choice, a very fine poet, a real intellect in poetry, someone of principle and integrity.''

W. Allworthy, Folio Editor poo@cts.com The Art of War on Land David G. Chandler (Penguin) Wars were much more easy-going in the past. The Assyrians (1380 BC) had two operating strategies: their soldiers were required to be monsters, and their main purpose was to get loot. On the other hand, Napoleon said that "The Channel is a mere ditch, and will be crossed as soon as someone has the courage to attempt." He never made it to England, but he did get to Moscow and, in the process, brought war home to the people by introducing universal conscription and by having his soldiers "live off the land" (robbing the poor peasants). He divided his army into "large self-contained formations" which moved quickly to surprise the enemy. Instead of marching as a disciplined mass to the next encounter, his soldiers would be dispersed, go off, lollygag about, forage some wine and truffles, and then, at the appropriate time, would come together for the attack. This made for speed, and the famous French military stomach, on which, according to him, they traveled.

87. Louise Gluck Poetry-in-the-Round - Seton Hall Univeristy louise gluck. March 25, 700 pm. No American poet writes better than louise Glück; perhaps none can lead us so deeply into out own http://artsci.shu.edu/poetry/previous/louisgluck.html

louise gluck March 25, 7:00 p.m. "No American poet writes better than Louise Glück; perhaps none can lead us so deeply into out own natures." New York Times Book Review "There are few living poets whose new poems one always feels eager to read. Louise Glück ranks at the top of the list." -The Washington Post By a broad consensus one of the finest poets writing in America today, Louise Glück has appropriately garnered the most prestigious of American literary awards: the Pulitzer Prize (for The Wild Iris , 1993), the National Book Critics Circle Award (for The Triumph of Achilles , 1985), the William Carlos Williams Award, and the Poetry Society of America's Melville Kane Award, among others. In The Wild Iris , as in The Triumph of Achilles Ararat , and the more recent Meadowlands (1996), she has maintained the stark and startling tone which distinguishes her work. Her emotional intensity, her simplicity of expression, and her formal seriousness combine in some of the most moving poetry of the late century. At Seton Hall, she will read from her latest (March 1999) book

Discount Hotels books Time on Her Side by Joshua Clover September 8th, 2003 6:00 PM (photo: Star Black) The New Yorker commissioned a profile on Billy Collins when he was appointed poet laureate. It was his time, a poet of populist panache—the first to serve under the Bush presidency, and the best seller to hold the post since its inception. Facts were researched, sources reviewed, interviews conducted. The thing of it was, this all happened in the late days of summer 2001. Then the moment grew dark—a bad time for a poet winning in his very lightness. It made a kind of poetic sense when the story was shelved; how could one have a profile, if one had no shadow? Times have changed, but not much. War and rumors of war, as the saying goes—not apocalyptic (depending on who's measuring) but certainly difficult, even without mentioning the less-than-great depression. It would be invidious to suggest that Louise Glück, who last week replaced Collins in the office down Library of Congress way, is the finer poet; better noted is how much more thoroughly she fits the moment. History gets the poets it deserves, and though Ms. Glück isn't as grim as the newspapers of late, nor as rapaciously bellicose as the administration, she's no good-time guy. Her poetry is no stranger to difficulty, and has shadows aplenty.
