The Dog From Leaving Another Kingdom by Gerald Stern, published by Harper Perennial. Audio (Gerald Stern reading this piece from 'The Power of the Word' with Bill Moyers MP3 format - 1.1 MB.) What I was doing there with my white teeth exposed like that on the side of the road I don't know, and I don't know why I lay beside the sewer so that lover of dead things could come back with his pencil sharpened and his piece of white paper. I was there for a good two hours whistling dirges, shrieking a little, terrifying hearts with my whimpering cries before I died by pulling the one leg up and stiffening. There is a look we have with the hair of the chin curled in mid-air, there is a look with the belly stopped in the midst of its greed. The lover of dead things stoops to feel me, his hand is shaking. I know his mouth is open and his glasses are slipping. I think his pencil must be jerking and the terror of smell - and sight - is overtaking him;

In all those rotten shops, in all this broken furniture and wrinkled ties and baseball trophies and coffee pots I have never seen a post-war Philco with the automatic eye nor heard Ravel's 'Bolero' the way I did in 1945 in that tiny living room on Beechwood Boulevard, nor danced as I did then, my knives all flashing, my hair all streaming, my mother red with laughter, my father cupping his left hand under his armpit, doing the dance of old Ukraine, the sound of his skin half drum, half fart, the world at last a meadow, the three of us whirling and singing, the three of us screaming and falling, as if we were dying, as if we could never stop - in 1945 - in Pittsburgh, beautiful filthy Pittsburgh, home of the evil Mellons, 5,000 miles away from the other dancing - in Poland and Germany - oh God of mercy, oh wild God. From Paradise Poems by Gerald Stern

Stern became established as a poet relatively late in life. "It was not until I was in my 40's," he said. When asked why, he responded, "I was too arrogant. I was too critical of my own work."

Free Summary of Paper #46588 BUY THIS PAPER LOOK FOR MORE RESEARCH PAPERS, ESSAYS AND BOOK REPORTS Gerald Stern's "The Buffalo Creek Disaster" Summary of a book that that chronicles the events which led up to a mining disaster in a small town in West Virginia. Paper #: # of words: Format: MLA Written: Author: AcaDemon Abstract This paper reviews the horrific mining disaster that took place in a West Virginia mining town in 1972. Information regarding the loss of life and property is taken from Gerald Stern's book "The Buffalo Creek Disaster: How the Survivors of One of the Worst Disasters in Coal-Mining History Brought Suit Against the Coal CompanyAnd Won". The paper also looks at the negligence of the Buffalo Mining Company which caused one of the worst man-made disasters in history and the legal case brought against them by survivors of the tragedy. From The Paper "A few days prior to February 26, 1972, rain fell almost continuously, which was typical for this time of year. Buffalo Mining officials, concerned about the condition of the highest dam, measured water levels every two hours the night of the twenty-fifth. Although a Pittston official in the area was alerted to the increasing danger, the residents of the hollow were not officially informed. The one positive about living in a small town is that news travels fast. So, despite the lack of warning from company officials, some residents discerned the danger and moved to higher ground. At 8:05 a.m., the dam collapsed and the water obliterated the other two impoundments. Approximately 132 million gallons of black, waste water hurried through the narrow Buffalo Creek concave."

Behaving Like A Jew by Gerald Stern This is Michael Carey for Voices from the Prairie Behaving Like A Jew When I got there the dead opossum looked like an enormous baby sleeping on the road. and the wind blowing through his hair to get back again into my animal sorrow. I am sick of the country, the bloodstained bumpers, the stiff hairs sticking out of the grilles, the slimy highways, the heavy birds refusing to move; I am sick of the spirit of Lindbergh over everything, that joy in death, that philosophical understanding of carnage, that concentration on the species. I am going to behave like a Jew and touch his face, and stare into his eyes, and pull him off the road. I am not going to stand in a wet ditch with the Toyotas and the Chevies passing over me at sixty miles an hour and praise the beauty and the balance and lose myself in the immortal lifestream when my hands are still a little shaky from his stiffness and his bulk and my eyes are still weak and misty from his round belly and his curved fingers and his black whiskers and his little dancing feet.
