In a Dark Time Main April 11, 2002 Carolyn Kizer's tribute to Morris Graves When I first read Carolyn Kizer's Ungrateful Garden I completely overlooked the poem "From an Artist's House" which is dedicated to Morris Graves. I overlooked it simply because I knew little or nothing about Morris then, Recently, though, I keep running into Morris Graves, everywhere. As a result, he now seems more and more like a key figure in the Northwest artistic movement. As often happens, the more you study a subject, the more links you discover to familiar and unfamiliar ideas. Needless to say, then, that the following poem resonates with me: From an Artist's House for Morris Graves A bundle of twigs On the roof. We study pictures: Nests of hern and crane. The artist who built this house Arranged the faggots here. In the inlaid box With a gilt hasp concealing A letter, a jewel? Within, a bunch of feathers, The small bones of a bird. The great gold kakemono With marvelous tapes and tassles

CAROLYN KIZER: where's she been all her life? Photo by John Palmer She’s rooted here in the Northwest, Spokane born – “After Spokane, what horrors lurk in Hell?” – a student in Theodore Roethke’s poetry workshop at the University of Washington in 1954 when she was already nearly thirty, mother of three small children, living up on Capitol Hill in a big house – Mark Tobeys on the wall, and Morris Graves – with rooms full of books from floor to ceiling. David Wagoner said “she came as close in the 1950s as anyone ever has in this area to having – you can’t quite call it a salon – a social center for literary activities. Her house was always open.” In a 1956 article in The New Republic, she described this new school of Northwest poets, with Roethke at the center, cajoling, bullying, and singing, with students like Richard Hugo and James Wright, and alternative classrooms like the Blue Moon Tavern on 45th Street, “a grubby oasis just outside the university’s one-mile-limit Sahara” where “poets, pedants, painters and other assorted wildlife make overtures to each other.” Not long after she helped found and was the first full-time editor of Poetry Northwest, which she turned into a literary journal of national distinction. What she took from Roethke, from the teaching, were “the standards he taught, the meter, the importance of syntax and grammar, and the extraordinary beauty of the English language.” Most important is the music, the sense of song that, Carlyle once said, is the very “essence of us,” that Thoreau called “the very breath of all friendliness,” or Shelley “the moment’s monument.” She stays close to the song, and to the dance. At home in a variety of forms, her rhythms strong, her language erudite, or bawdy – we cannot help but think of that other most musical of performer poets, Vachel Lindsay, barnstorming the country, singing with the force of personality, the poetry clear and plain. Still, however clear her poems are to the eye, there is always much more that meets the ear, as she warns us in “A Song for Muriel”:

LOOKING IN THE MIRROR: WHAT EMILY AND I SHARE by Carolyn Kizer Page 1 I believe I have a distinction at this Emily Dickinson festival that no other writer here can claim, and that is that Emily and I have the same birthday. If she'd only been born five years earlier it would have been a perfect hundred years. You notice I don't say if only I'd been born five years earlier, or later that is. I want to read a couple of Emily's poems that meant a lot to me when I was a young woman because I thought I was the only person in the world that didn't know who they were. I thought that my shaky identity was unique and my fear that if I looked in the mirror I wouldn't see anything there was special to me. I remember the great comfort with which I found Emily on that subject in the following poems: I am alive - I guess - The Branches on my Hand Are full of Morning Glory - And at my finger's end - The Carmine - tingles warm - And if I hold a Glass Across my Mouth - it blurs it - Physician's - proof of Breath - I am alive - because I am not in a Room - The Parlor - Commonly - it is - So Visitors may come - And lean - and view it sidewise - And add "How cold - it grew" - And "Was it conscious - when it stepped In Immortality?"

What do they do with their creativity when they're looking after a man's creativity? This is what one woman didthe poem is called "Fanny," and I'll read from it, because it's quite long. At Samoa, hardly unpacked, I commenced planting When I'd opened the chicken crates, built the Cochins a coop. The Reverend Mr. Claxton called, found me covered with mud, My clothes torn, my hair in a wad, my bare feet bleeding. I had started the buffalo grass in the new-made clearing. The next day the priest paid a visit. Civil but restless, I was dying to plant the alfalfa seedgave him a packet. That evening I paced up and down, dropping melon seeds, Tomatoes and bush lima beans here and there Where I thought they would grow. We were short of food now, So I cooked up a mess of fat little parrots, disturbed At the way they suggested cages and swings and stands . . . An excellent meal.
