47. UPNE | Eyeshot Wesleyan University Press. Wesleyan Poetry Series Eyeshot mchugh, heather. $20.00 Cloth, 08195-6671-3, mchugh, heather Eyeshot, Page updated Sun, May 9, 2004. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~upne/0-8195-6671-3.html

Wesleyan University Press Wesleyan Poetry Series Eyeshot McHugh, Heather Scintillating new work from a celebrated contemporary poet. The power of this new work comes from its delicate yet tenacious fidelity to the ever-unfolding senses of sense. The poems invite the reader to follow careening words and insights through passages both playful and profound. Her "Fido, Jolted by Jove" reveals the tension endemic to both language and living: "the world itself is worried." Yet the same poem remarks the high price of any reductive fix: "a brain this insecure may need another bolt be driven in it." This movement between anxiety and the human compulsion for order informs Eyeshot's darkly comic, 20/20 acuity. The September 1 issue of Publisher's Weekly carried a positive review of this new book: "... McHugh here returns to her own signature bravura and obsessive word play, focusing on the struggle of eye and mind, brain and body, to mediate the exacting details of an exquisitely overwrought world... probing language in a way that enhances (and seems inextricably linked to) scientific inquiry..." FROM THE BOOK Pure indifference a little fling cannot diminish it: impartially it flies from everything

Reams of Grey Matter: Poet Heather McHugh and MCW Fellow Darin Ciccotelli Reflect on McHugh's Workshop by Heather McHugh Speaking of which, you’ll miss the students, miss the County Line, and miss the hokey Broken Spoke; miss the plainclothesmen in SUVs who so conspicuously line the nearby streets when our nation’s First Lady comes home for a break from the awful oval offices of her Federal sentence You’ll miss her sisters, the Texas misses, in their little heels and halters, jewels and jackets, worlds apart from the Downeast lumberjills you’re used to. And the hills for which God fashioned, it seems, only two kinds of tree, an oak whose adjective is tautological, and a cedar whose objective is allergiacal. You’ll miss them all. A tip of your ten-gallon hat to Hester and Jim, the mom and pop of the writers’ own mom-and-popperation, and you’re off, in the end, with a start, for parts unknown, from parts that seem (O East Dean Keeton!) now already always known by heart.

Click here to read an excerpt. Biographies Nikolai Popov teaches English and Comparative Literature at the University of Washington in Seattle. A James Joyce scholar and translator, he co-translated with Heather McHugh a collection of the poems of Blaga Dimitrova. Heather McHugh is Milliman Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at the University of Washington. In addition to six acclaimed books of poetry, including most recently, The Father of the Predicaments , and the collection of essays Broken English: Poetry and Partiality Cyclops Paul Celan Death Fugue that evokes the horrors of the Holocaust. Paul Celan is arguably the most important European poet of the twentieth century, but much of his work has seemed too hermetic, linguistically complex, and bound to his struggle with the German language in the aftermath of the Shoah to be translatable. In Glottal Stop , however, Nikolai Popov and Heather McHugh have achieved the seemingly impossible: more than translating Celan into English, they have found a way to translate English into Celan.

The reading will take place in the Montpelier Room, on the sixth floor of the James Madison Memorial Building. Tickets are not required. A review of Ms. McHugh's poetry in the Voice Literary Supplement describes her poems as "honest and essential as a blood count. ... Her speech is stripped down to the last contraction, tested for resonance and worked back into idioms that can bear ironic weight. You can open anywhere, almost at random, and find plain revelations. ... Her poems are open, resilient, invisibly twisted: part safety net, part trampoline." The Poetry and Literature Center, which administers the poetry series, is also the home of the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry, a position that has existed since 1936, when the late philanthropist Archer M. Huntington endowed the Chair of Poetry at the Library of Congress. Archibald MacLeish, who was Librarian from 1939 to 1944, determined the Consultant in Poetry should be an annual appointment. Since then, many of the nation's most eminent poets have served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress and, after the passage of Public Law 99-194 in 1985, as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry.

Iquity It too has a den. (In all the best democracies we watch TV.) And any child of time desires to have his looks averted from unpleasant likelihoods. But still Red Ridings by the hundreds could not cuddle one bad night away, while in the den the Buddha seems a giggle-meister. Dr. Factoid sells some fish oil: fewer suicides in Matsushima. Action, faction: subtlety be sacked. The den is Poll Land: let's just get along! Unhappy endings outlawed by a scientific vote! No need for misery: in cine-pop a little extra nookie on the side; in cine-mom your hubbie hurries home. (Hi, hon.) Your honor, honest, is not implicated. Soothers must, by definition, say no terrifying truths. And mercy knows and only split. They quit. The universal donor is a goner).

Vol 11 No. 31, Apr 18 - Apr 24 2002 Enter search words: -BOOKS- THE FLOW OF DESIRE Seductive, Evasive Heather McHugh by Colin Booy Lately I've been ambivalent toward contemporary (or postmodern, if you like) poetry. No doubt this is largely because of my experience (as a writing major at a liberal-arts college) of the cultural machine that produces it. Not that the professor-poets who populate higher education don't write beautiful versesome of them certainly do. But often it seems like a beauty that draws a cultural blank, a poetry taking place nowhere. It's hard to imagine someone being gripped by this work in the way that, say, the German thinker Walter Benjamin was by the urban poetry of Charles Baudelaire, compelling him as it did to so obsessively excavate 19th-century Paris in, at least partly, an effort to simply understand. I want to suggest, however, that such a reading is a little too neat, and that her work contains compelling resistances to this milieu. McHugh suggests as much: "The 'poetry of place' bores me: It takes place too literally." Rather, the place of her poetry is recombinative, moving with a deceptive ease that seems borrowed from the Northwest's urban environs. The opening stanza of "The Starrier the Scarier""So it looks./It seems to look./Appears to seem."has such an ease, both effusive and evasive, progressing even as it takes back. The final passages of another poem, "Streaming Audio," are characteristically indicative as self-commentary: "No real/is closable./It dreams of drumming Innisfree,/ but seems to mean it's live./ To last it has/ to flow, and so/ to stream it has to strive."
