Anthony Hecht biographical notes SAUL AND DAVID It was a villainous spirit, snub-nosed, foul Of breath, thick-taloned and malevolent, That squatted within him wheresoever he went And possessed the soul of Saul. There was no peace on pillow or on throne. In dreams the toothless, dwarfed, and squinny-eyed Started a joyful rumor that he had died Unfriended and alone. The doctors were confounded. In his distress, he Put aside arrogant ways and condescended To seek among the flocks where they were tended By the youngest son of Jesse, A shepherd boy, but goodly to look upon, Unnoticed but God-favored, sturdy of limb As Michelangelo later imagined him, Comely even in his frown. Shall a mere shepherd provide the cure of kings? Heaven itself delights in ironies such As this, in which a boy's fingers would touch Pythagorean strings And by a modal artistry assemble The very Sons of Morning, the ranked and choired Heavens in sweet laudation of the Lord, And make Saul cease to tremble. from used by permission of Alfred A.

Interviews with Poets A sketch of Anthony Hecht's life and career - his youth, wartime experience, and student days at Kenyon College, and some of the honours awarded in the last 50 years, including the Pulitzer and Bollingen Prizes. BTL talks to Anthony Hecht about his life and work A Note on Anthony Hecht Hecht was educated at three of New York City's schools, and then, in 1940, enrolled as an undergraduate at Bard College, an experimental adjunct of Columbia University, situated at Annandale-on-Hudson. It was at Bard, while still a freshman, that he made up his mind to become a poet, having been introduced to the work of Wallace Stevens, T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Dylan Thomas and others by an inspiring teacher called Lawrence Leighton. WWII obliged Hecht to give up his studies before graduating. At first, it looked as though he would be assigned to do intelligence work, but the special training programme he was inducted into was cancelled at the last minute, with the result that Hecht found himself en route to Europe, and some of the bloodiest fighting of the war. Any reader curious to know why the subject of cruelty recurs so frequently in Hecht's work need look no further than this period in his life for the explanation.

Fairchild, Anthony Hecht (Introduction) ISBN: 1882295161 Compare price for this book Authors A-Z Hecht Anthony Editorial Review from Amazon The Art of the Lathe - Book Review, by B. H. Fairchild, Anthony Hecht (Introduction) Timothy Steele "B.H. Fairchild brings sympathetic insight to the people the machinists, welders, and farmers he writes of. And like a fine novelist, he has a gift for focusing on those moments when lives constrained by psychological or economic circumstances are touched by beauty and significance." R.S. Gwynn ". . . James Joyce's Stephen Dedalus spoke of forging the conscience of his race in the smithy of his soul; in the dusty light of a Kansas machine shop, B.H. Fairchild has performed similar magic. from the introduction by Anthony Hecht "With elegance and restrained subtlety, Mr. Fairchild interweaves topics that become something like musical themes, including the central theme of machine work . . .Anyone who can lay claim to the authorship of this much excellent poetry wins my unqualified and grateful admiration." From the Back Cover "Fairchild boldly plunders the territories of prose to expand the possibilities of contemporary verse. He undertakes to translate the various and splendid particularities of the novel, the memoir, and the travelogue and heighten them into the lyric mode. These fluent poems are omnivorously intelligent. The reader never knows what will come next; but, as deeply psychological in their probings as a novel, they always cohere." (Dana Gioia)

The Darkness and the Light Flight Among the Tombs Flight Among the Tombs The Transparent Man Anthony Hecht's Academy of American Poets page Anthony Hecht interview about his life and work with Philip Hoy Hecht's page in Modern American Poetry ... Ploughshares Anthony Hecht "Beginnings" My literary education began with nursery rhymes and Mother Goose, the fairly common way for those of my generation, as well as those going back to Victorian times. Hinx, minx, the old witch winks, The fat begins to fry; Nobody home but Jumping Joan, Father, mother, and I. Stick, stock, stone dead, Blind man can't see; Every knave will have a slave, You or I must be he. What child would not be intrigued by such verse, filled as it is with admirable mystery: a witch, a curious person named "Jumping Joan," the mention of the unmentionable in the world of the real nursery, the dead, the blind, and slaves. Most of all, the frank inclusion of "me," as part of the drama. I was enchanted, and the more pleased to find that the grown-ups who read me these poems were as mystified as I by them. It would be many years before I would encounter: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf

20. About Anthony Hecht About anthony hecht. Glyn Maxwell. hecht was born in New York City. Copyright © 1994 by Oxford University Press. Return to anthony hecht. http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/g_l/hecht/life.htm

About Anthony Hecht Glyn Maxwell H echt was born in New York City. He graduated from Bard College in 1944 and served in the army in Europe and Japan. After the war he studied at Kenyon College, where he began a long and distinguished career as a professor, most recently at Georgetown University, Washington. His second collection, The Hard Hours, won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1968; his many other awards include the Bollingen Prize and the Librex-Guggenheim Eugenio Montale Award. Apart from five poetry collections, he has published critical essays ( Obbligati, 1986), light verse ( Jiggery-Pokery , 1967, with John Hollander), and translation, most notably of Aeschylus ( Seven Against Thebes, 1973, with Helen Bacon) and Joseph Brodsky. Some recent editions of his work ( Collected Earlier Poems and The Transparent Man, both New York and Oxford, 1990) employ on their covers a photograph of the poet's face reflected in a mirroron the latter book a photographic negativemost appropriate images for his substantial and remarkable oeuvre, which holds the glass up to this worst of centuries and looks it squarely in the eye, neither glossing its beauty nor flinching from its horror. The work of Anthony Hecht shatters the cosy notion that a fragmented, fractured age should be reflected in the forms of its art, that ugliness and shapelessness demand payment in kind. Like Auden, he has absorbed the evils and grotesqueries of his unhappy century into a verse both highly formal and all-encompassing, stitching wounds with iambs, sculpting pentameters of sustained, Latinate beauty, sounding a healing music.
