41. Karen Volkman: Punchline Or Punchdrunk?- Dan Schneider D27DES18 karen volkman Poetry’s Latest Punchline Copyright © byDan Schneider, 9/5/03. A few months back the Academy Of American http://www.cosmoetica.com/D27-DES18.htm

Karen Volkman: Poetry’s Latest Punchline A few months back the Academy Of American Poets mailed me the latest winning book of the James Laughlin Award - an award named after a bad poet who was a noted insider in publishing (founder of the New Directions nd Spar , by 1 Karen Volkman. The book is ludicrously bad- but I decided to pick on it out of the 100s of horrid books of poetry published in recent years mainly because reading it made me a bit nauseated. In short, KV has absolutely no discernible writing talent. That she has managed to get 2 books of poetry published is a testament to either a) the mental retardation that affects Love Canal survivors who have drifted into the poetry field, b) the incredibly persuasive sexual skills of KV applied to a bunch of horny old book publishers, or c) the scent of the 4 th Horseman rounding the far turn, causing all reasonably intelligent lovers of the poetic craft to stop caring, absolutely, about putting out quality material. th option must be behind this confluence of evil that brought about this book’s existence. But I won’t ponder further. Such things are too depressing. Before getting to the actual book, don’t you want to know all about KV? Here ‘tis: Karen Volkman was born in Miami in 1967 and was educated at New College, Syracuse University, and the University of Houston.

43. Boston Review | Karen Volkman Reviews Jane Miller's Memory At These Speeds: New Boston Review, Memory at These Speeds New and Selected Poems JaneMiller Copper Canyon, $15 (paper) by karen volkman Above all http://www.bostonreview.net/BR23.1/Volkman.html

Memory at These Speeds: New and Selected Poems Jane Miller Copper Canyon, $15 (paper) by Karen Volkman "Above all else the figure the figure in the landscape" writes Jane Miller in the poem "Sympathtique." This selection from her five volumes both supports and complicates that declaration. For Miller, the figurative evades the limiting frame of narrative foregrounding; dispersed rather than described in these poems, her human figure resolves itself in fits and jolts from a field of dissonance, media, technocracy, eros. Her persona, half-reverent, half-hip, cultivates scatter as a kind of necessary mutation, the quick-cut as backbeat to random, terrestrial song. Jarring as the juxtapositions are, they rarely come off as principally ironic; Miller may toss Post-Toasties, mylar, or MTV into her empassioned ruminations, but her purpose is to accrete and encompass, not to undercut. In "Sycamore Mall," the first poem of her expansive fourth collection, American Odalisque , she fuses the surreality of a consumer playground with the equal, though radically other, stylizations of a Venetian affair: It'll be a while for a theater inside a mall under the influenc of temperature control.

We Did Things More We did things more dulcet, more marionette. There were equivocationsusual modemsall sorts of agos. Thenin timethe needed accretion. How much like a star we were, light as blazons. Nomad of a thousand paths, surely there are tempers more like yours, acrid and fulsome, whose articulated measure is a queenly Entire. Then we counted our fingerprinted petalskept dryer in a pale tinrose and carnationloved, attended, tamed. Be attention, dear border, you wander too far. Your music is dissonant sometimes, calamitous fugues and fallow, echoed tones, you are turning too many melodies into maunder. It seems we are creature, we devour and leave. But when late light turns the leaves gold, when the red pine offers its armfuls of snow, we are not hunger and perjure. In that moment (blemish and blossom) we are gaze.

And the Urge is Less And the urge is less than the action. And the whom is less than the when. Been eyeing something in a fraction, that supplants all limits, grounds all pilots, preens, pretends.
