From: Hank Lazer (HLAZER@AS.UA.EDU)
Subject: Re: George Starbuck
George Starbuck died Thursday morning at his home in Tuscaloosa at age 65 after a twenty year bout with Parkinson's disease. A fine poet and generous person, George directed the graduate writing programs in creative writing at Iowa (where, ages ago, he hired Kathleen Fraser) and at Boston University. While at SUNY Buffalo in 1963, he initiated a successful challenge of New York's Feinberg loyalty-oath law. After a semester as writer-in-residence, George decided to live in Tuscaloosa. For the past several years, he has been a kind friend, much valued for his learning, his conversation, and his advocacy of a wide range of poetries. Hank Lazer Date: 17 Aug 96
From: Anselm Hollo
Subject: George Starbuck Emerging from my lair here, to salute the memory of George Starbuck, first met in Buffalo thirty years ago, during my first summer there in the company of G.S., Ann London, Robert Creeley , John Logan, John Wieners, Robert Hogg, Basil Bunting , George Bowering, Jack Clarke, Al Glover, Duncan McNaughton...a summer that definitely changed my life, as did George's subsequent invitation to come and teach at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, whose director he then was. Cet ouvroir was a very different place during his tenure than what it had been before, and, I believe, what it has been since. Not only did he invite Kathleen Fraser and her then husband Jack Marshall, he also invited Ted Berrigan, Steve Katz, Seymour Krim, David Rayall, at that time, regarded as pretty 'cutting edge' makaris, somewhat threatening, even, to the post-Paul Engle neo-Frostian/pseudo-WCWilliamsian 'Iowa' establishment.

George Starbuck
George Starbuck (1931-1996) was an American poet of the neo-formalist school. His work is marked by clever rhymes, witty asides, and the fusing of Romantic themes with cynicism towards modern life. Starbuck called his style of formalism SLABS, for Standard Length And Breadth Sonnets. He was not widely appreciated by mainstream culture during his lifetime, but in the few years since his death his work has earned favor from both literary critics and casual readers of poetry. Two new collections of his poems have been published in the last few years ( Poems Selected from Five Decades and Visible Ink ) and have helped him win a wider audience. Starbuck's best-known poems include "Tuolomne," "On an Urban Battlefield," "Sonnet With a Different Letter At the End of Every Line," "Legend of the Four Thousand and Four Swallowtails," and "Northernsign."

    A s far as I can tell (and I am as likely to be wrong here as about anything else I write), George Starbuck was pretty much ignored even before he died a few years ago. There were, of course, three strikes against him.
    Second, he was a formalist at a time when formalism was not popular. Even as Robert Lowell, W.S. Merwin, James Wright and virtually any "younger" American poet you can name were abandoning formal verse for free, Starbuck was still writing in form. Such anti-social behavior, in the very social '60s and '70s, can not have been helped by the fact that Starbuck also deigned to write concrete poetry, again against the trend, since concrete poetry as popular as it may have been overseas never really caught on here (except among children's poets). Nor did Starbuck suffer a revival (as far as I can tell) among the neo-formalists of the '80s and '90s an impossibility, really, since the neo's don't seem to have any use for anyone who wrote formally any earlier than the Reagan presidency.
    Starbuck's "Elegy in a Country Churchyard" is a charming, if sometimes too self-congratulatory, offering of American concrete verse

    George Starbuck (1931-1996) is a poet known for his wit, intelligence, and precision; he was the winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets prize for his first book of poems and director of writing programs at the University of Iowa Starbuck and Boston University. A new collection of Starbuck's poetry, "The Works: Poems Selected From Five Decades" (University of Alabama Press, 2003) edited by Kathryn Starbuck and Elizabeth Meese, was recently published. In recognition of Starbuck's return to print, as well as his influence on poets locally and around the world, The George Edward Woodberry Poetry Room will host "A Tribute to George Starbuck: The Works," Thursday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m. in the Woodberry Poetry Room, Lamont Library. The tribute will include readings and remembrances by the poet's former students and colleagues including Kathy Starbuck, Maxine Kumin, Peter Davison, Emily Hiestand, Mary Baine Campbell, and Askold Melnyczuk. Don Share, curator of the Woodberry Poetry Room, said, "George Starbuck was a renowned figure from the great era of the Boston/Cambridge poetry giants and I was lucky to study under him at Boston University. By the time I'd become a student of his, he was ... legendary. He managed to be both cutting edge and a

    So JmSR and I are working on last month's sweepstakes puzzle in Games magazine, a formula to which the answer is found by plugging in the answers to a huge pile of trivia questions and crunching the numbers. He's doing most of the work, but my job was to track down all the extant works of George Starbuck, an American poet, and find out how many butterflies are mentioned in a certain poem. (They don't give the name of the poem, the rascals.) I slogged thru several of Starbuck's books, but before long, what was a mechanical search for a particular fact became the introduction to a poet of great wit and irreverence. "Talkin' BA Blues" has proven especially helpful - somehow - to staving off the school-related grouchiness I've been prone to lately. I can't talk about poetry the way

    OK, so my post about reading George Starbuck for a Games magazine calculatrivia contest brings at least three google hits per day to this little blog. Like-minded puzzlers are no doubt are as frustrated as I with the difficulty of finding butterfly references in his collected works. We never found the answer, guys! And if you didn't either, let's write Games and say so. I think if one has to order a stack of interlibrary loan books, the answer ought to be in them somewhere. Of course the internet makes trivia contests harder to write, but come on. Throw us a bone, here.
