Out of the Box Coaching and WORKING WITH THE ENNEAGRAM , Mary R. Bast, Ph.D. Six: Lizards and Snakes On the summer road that ran by our front porch Lizards and snakes came out to sun. It was hot as a stove out there, enough to scorch A buzzard's foot. Still, it was fun To lie in the dust and spy on them. Near but remote, They snoozed in the carriage ruts, a smile In the set of the jaw, a fierce pulse in the throat Working away like Jack Doyle's after he'd run the mile. Aunt Martha had an unfair prejudice Against them (as well as being cold Toward bats.) She was pretty inflexible in this, Being a spinster and all, and old. So we used to slip them into her knitting box. In the evening she'd bring in things to mend And a nice surprise would slide out from under the socks. It broadened her life, as Joe said. Joe was my friend. But we never did it again after the day Of the big wind when you could hear the trees Creak like rocking chairs. She was looking away

Main January 21, 2003 ANTHONY HECHT. One of my favorite modern poets is Anthony Hecht , an unprolific formalist with a bleak outlook on life whose verse goes down like good strong black coffee. The NY Times has a piece on him today that explains something of his bleakness; after the usual unhappy childhood Hecht was a 20-year-old Jewish soldier in the 97th Infantry Division and arriving one day at the Flossenburg camp in Germany, where the Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed for treason. What Mr. Hecht saw horrified him: starving prisoners, dying at a rate of 500 a day from typhus. He had a smattering of German and French and was assigned to translate the prisoners' accounts of the atrocities and the responses of their German guards, who had been captured. For years after, Mr. Hecht dreamed about the camp, waking up screaming... More important than the biography, of course, is the work. He is a poet's poet, a composer of what the poet and novelist Nicholas Christopher, a former student, calls symphonic verse, of dazzling surfaces and profound rhythms. "Reading his work is like hearing really powerful music," Mr. Christopher says, "Tchaikovsky or Stravinsky." Still, over the years Mr. Hecht has been criticized for being ornate, obscure, old-fashioned. "At times he's been unpopular," says J. D. McClatchy, the poet and editor of The Yale Review. "He's not beating drums like Ginsberg. He's not detached like Wilbur, or confessional like Lowell. He went his own way. At the end he may last longer."

This Old Poem #52: Anthony Hecht’s Curriculum Vitae Anthony Hecht (b. 1923). Born in New York City, Hecht attended Bard College (B.A., 1944). After three years in the U.S. Army, serving in Europe and Japan, he continued his education at Columbia University (M.A., 1950). Hecht has taught at several universities, including the University of Rochester, where he was professor of poetry and rhetoric in 1967. He is presently a professor in the graduate school of Georgetown University. His awards include a 1951 Prix de Rome, and Guggenheim, Rockefeller, and Ford Foundation Fellowships, as well as the Bollingen Prize in Poetry. His first book of poetry, A Summer of Stones (1954), was followed by Hard Hours (1968), which won a Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Millions of Strange Shadows Venetian Vespers (1979), and The Transparent Man (1990). His most recent collection of poems is Flight Among the Tombs (1996). Hecht is also the author of a collection of critical essays, Obbligati Acclaimed for his technical expertise, Hecht was first devoted to traditional poetic forms, and his work was sometimes described as "baroque" and "courtly." More recently, his work has become less decorative. Well, not really. This is a kind of backhanded compliment given to those who serve some purpose but are not invited to the dance. Wallflower Tony’s poetry is really being called ‘dull, without even a remnant of attempted verve’.

THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT Anthony Hecht Alfred A. Knopf, $23.00, 67 pages Anthony Hecht has been described as an "archaic" poet. Besides his propensity for rhyme, and the polished elegance of much of his verse, Hecht has another disturbing quirk: he likes to hide behind various personae, many of them biblical (Saul, David, Abraham, even Mary). Does he employ this primal theatrical trope because he fears his emotions will overwhelm him should he speak more directly? Born in New York City in 1923, Hecht was thriving at Bard College when World War II intervened, and the freshman found himself in midst of some of the fiercest battles in the European theater. He was also one of the Allied soldiers who liberated from floosenburg, an annex of Buchenwald. In an interview with Philip Hoy, Hecht remembered that when he arrived at Flossenburg prisoners were dying from typhus "at the rate of 500 a day." "For years after," he told Hoy, "I would wake shrieking." Discharged from the Army, the would-be poet returned to finish his university studies, and become a distinguished professor. During the next fifty years, Hecht published three books of criticism, and myriad assorted writing.

Eighty this year, he has just published "Collected Later Poems," the complete texts of his three most recent volumes of verse, and "Melodies Unheard," a gathering of essays.

Biblioblog Literature Book review exerpts, most recent first Wednesday, May 19, 2004 Beye, Charles Rowan. Odysseus: A Life . Hyperion. Booklist : “[Provides] a deeper understanding of an old acquaintance and, for those who fear reading a long poem, a dazzling introduction to one grandfather of us all.” Library Journal : “a coherent, highly readable narrative that situates Odysseus’ world within the geography and history of our own. The only drawback is a lack of scholarly apparatus, aside from a brief chapter on sources, which limits its usefulness in academia. But the general reader will appreciate its accessibility and its entertaining value. A true labor of love, reflecting a lifetime of study, this is recommended for all public libraries.” Kirkus : “Synthesizing material from the Iliad, the Odyssey, and other ancient sources, a ‘biography’ of the legendary Greek hero that doubles as a vivid history of Bronze Age customs and beliefs…The author’s lucid chronological narrative of Odysseus’ career is written in witty, deliberately colloquial prose. Only when describing his subject’s sex life does Beye lapse into jarring anachronisms…Early chapters covering less well-known events in Odysseus’ youth are particularly fascinating, but Beye’s accounts of the Trojan War, the hero’s ten years of wandering, and his return to Ithaca also benefit from the author’s formidable, yet lightly worn, erudition.” Publishers Weekly : “sometimes compelling, sometimes pedantic…While Beye offers insights into the cultural context in which Odysseus might have grown up, his fictional biography cannot compare to Homer’s suspenseful and engrossing tale.”

Anthony Hecht The Larger Order what he has set out to make Hecht was born in New York City in 1923. He entered Bard College as an undergraduate in 1940 (Bard was at the time an experimental adjunct of Columbia University) and was called up for military service in 1943. As a soldier he was sent to France, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia, then redeployed to occupation duty in Japan, covering both hemispheres. A Summoning of Stones (1954) and The Hard Hours The Darkness and the Light The Hidden Law Aeschylus , and two edited anthologies) is matched by his reputation as a teacher, predominantly of literature. He has taught at Bard College, Smith College, University of Rochester, Washington University, Harvard, and Yale. From 1985 until he retired in 1993, he was University Professor at Georgetown. Hecht has also collaborated with visual artists. He has written poems to accompany the engravings of Thomas Bewick, Lynd Ward, and Leonard Baskin ( The Seven Deadly Sins Flight Among the Tombs ). Readers of The Darkness and the Light Hecht, who will turn eighty next year, has just completed a new collection of essays on poets and poetry, entitled

Stanford Report, January 23, 2002 Award-winning poet Anthony Hecht to read Monday BY JOHN SANFORD Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Anthony Hecht will read from his work at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28, in Kresge Auditorium as part of the Creative Writing Program's Jean and Bill Lane Lecture Series. An informal colloquium is scheduled for the following day at 11 a.m. in the Terrace Room of Margaret Jacks Hall. Both events are free and open to the public. A giant among American poets, Hecht is a versatile and polished stylist who even now, at a time when blank verse is the norm, tends more than his contemporaries toward rhyme. In "The Book of Yolek," a poem first published in 1982, Hecht employs the sestina, a medieval verse form invented by medieval troubadours in Provence. The poem centers on the fate of a group of young Warsaw ghetto orphans who were rounded up and sent to a "special camp." A 5-year-old named Yolek killed there haunts the second-person "you" of the poem: "Wherever you are, Yolek will be there, too./ His unuttered name will interrupt your meal." The effect of the sestina is jarring: The end words in each line of the first stanza are repeated throughout the poem; they appear and reappear like the ghost of Yolek.

Blue marble forms lying, not breathing, not dying. Somewhere a flicker of a frozen soul - glint of fish in an icy swell. All brood. Speech and silence are one. Night snow encases the sun. A smile glows immobile from a rose lip's chill. Baby and mother, side by side. Odd that her nipple's dried. Fist, fixed in ice, of a naked old man: the power's undone in his hand. I've sampled death in all guises. Nothing surprises. Yet a frost in July in this heat - a crazy assault in the street. I and blue carrion, face to face. Frozen Jews in a snowy space. Marble shrouds my skin. Words ebb. Light grows thin. I'm frozen, I'm rooted in place like the naked old man enfeebled by ice. Holocaust by Barbara Sonek We played, we laughed we were loved.

Also included is Hecht's recent poem, An Orphic Calling This new book from Between The Lines presents a kind of "imaginary conversation" developed from a batch of written questions mailed to the poet, and a flurry of replies, follow-up questions, and voluntary expansions - but at its heart is the plum reward of new angles from which to engage the poems ... Anthony Hecht in Conversation has the frankness and summative qualities of the best memoirs, and extends well beyond the boundaries of the average magazine interview ... ... the questions are those of a canny and caring reader of the poetry, and the book comes across with the ease of a conversation - an unusual one, true - but still with the turn of talk. For this seamlessness and for the labour of the bibliography we should be grateful. And it is Hoy who raises the anecdote of the early morning taxi ride to an airport, in which Hecht, to amuse James Wright, intoned from memory all of 'Lycidas' - in the voice of W.C. Fields! As the excellent Between The Lines series continues ... we can look forward to "fresh woods" (pause) and "pastures new". David Latane, 'Fresh Woods, Pastures New', Stand, June 2000
