July, 2000 by Patricia Spears Jones Yusef KomunyakaaBlue Notes: Essays, Interviews and Commentaries edited by Radiclani Clytus University of Michigan Press, February 2000, $15.95, ISBN 0-472-06651-X Since 1977, Yusef Komunyakaa has carved a special place for himself in American poetics. His fierce combination of inventive imagery, historical allusion, and a nontraditional look at race and gender has garnered him a level of critical attention rare for any contemporary African American poet and a 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Neon Vernacular: New and Selected Poems. This new collection, Blue Notes, focuses on Komunyakaa's creative prose, primarily essays, commentary on his own poems and a wide range of interviews, most of which are quite intriguing. As an essayist, Komunyakaa leans towards a spare prose style. At his best, Komunyakaa is a great apologist as can be seen in his wonderful essay on the poetry of Etheridge Knight. "Tough Eloquence"part homage, part critiqueconcisely portrays both the figure of Etheridge Knight and the impact of his poetry. As Komunyakaa points out, "Knight was a chronicler of prison life and its immense pathos, and he conveyed each story with such clarity that the image would cut through almost anybody's armour. Poetry became his weapon of choice."

by Yusef Komunyakaa Poems about War by Li Po Main The Parable of the Old Man and the Young May 26, 2003 Facing It by Yusef Komunyakaa My black face fades, hiding inside the black granite. I said I wouldn't, dammit: No tears. I'm stone. I'm flesh. My clouded reflection eyes me like a bird of prey, the profile of night slanted against morning. I turn this waythe stone lets me go. I turn that wayI'm inside the Vietnam Veterans Memorial again, depending on the light to make a difference. I go down the 58,022 names, half-expecting to find my own in letters like smoke. I touch the name Andrew Johnson; I see the booby trap's white flash. Names shimmer on a woman's blouse but when she walks away the names stay on the wall. Brushstrokes flash, a red bird's wings cutting across my stare. The sky. A plane in the sky. A white vet's image floats closer to me, then his pale eyes look through mine. I'm a window. He's lost his right arm inside the stone. In the black mirror

KNI®NÍ novinky týdne SUPERSTAR: vypadl Julian PR: Dìlejte scény! Yusef Komunyakaa: Smìøujeme k uniformitì Yusef Komunyakaa. foto: PRÁVO/Petr Hlou¹ek Afroamerický básník Yusef Komunyakaa (1947), pochází z Louisiany, bojoval ve vietnamské válce, pùsobil jako váleèný zpravodaj. Po návratu se rozhodl psát poezii, je autorem øady básnických sbírek. Za knihu Øeèí neónu: Nové a vybrané básnì (Neon Vernacular: New and Selected Poems, 1993) získal Pulitzerovu cenu. Prahu nav¹tívil u¾ v roce 1994, kdy se zde zúèastnil 61. svìtového kongresu mezinárodního PEN klubu, podruhé do èeské metropole pøijel letos na konferenci evropských amerikanistù. Èesky mu nedávno vy¹el básnický výbor Oèarování v pøekladu Josefa Jaøaba. Bìhem svého ¾ivota jste za¾il znaènou promìnu postavení Amerièanù tmavé barvy pleti ve Spojených státech. Z dne¹ního pohledu: Naplnil se sen Martina Luthera Kinga, který pøed lety vìøil v rovnoprávnou a spravedlivou Ameriku? Ne, samozøejmì ne, jeho sen se stal souèástí historie. Za posledních ètyøicet, padesát let se situace èernochù v USA znaènì zmìnila, a to logicky zejména na jihu. Kdy¾ byl bìlo¹ský jih nucen konfrontovat se s èerno¹kým obyvatelstvem a uznat jeho práva, vyvolalo to hodnì vá¹ní. Na druhé stranì bylo na¹ím vítìzstvím, ¾e vìt¹ina musela uznat, kolik vìcí nás v¹echny spojuje. Pochopili, ¾e dokonce i v dobách pøísné segregace bìlochù a èernochù se obì komunity navzájem obohacovaly. Nelze popøít, ¾e bílí Amerièané mluví, chodí a uva¾ují urèitým zpùsobem také proto, ¾e vedle ¾ila èerná Amerika a ¾e spoleènì vytváøeli americkou kulturu. Já jsem si to uvìdomil ve Vietnamu ve válce. Tam bylo jedno, kdo vás zachránil a jakou mìl barvu kù¾e. Sdíleli jsme spoleènì zákopy, ale i ¾eny ve veøejných domech... (smích)
