No more. Poets Bidart (who knew Lowell and who expertly dismantles Lowell's reputation as confessional poet) and Gewanter present the first collected volume of this pivotal American voice, a gathering astonishing in its breadth and power. Here are poems in manuscript; works "buried since first publication," including Lowell's first book, Land of Unlikeness (1944); and poems from his 11 ensuing collections, including Life Studies (1959) and The Dolphin (1973). As Bidart observes, Lowell, the recipient of many awards, including two Pulitzers and the National Book Award, labored intently over his work, writing and rewriting, just as he repeatedly plumbed the depths of his blueblood family history and grappled with humanity's perpetual struggles with love and war, inheritance and freedom. Substantial notes, a chronology, glossary, and critical essays make this an essential title. Readers who think they know Lowell's work will discover new facets, and readers just venturing into Lowell's potently rendered and ceaselessly evocative poetic universe will find much to contemplate.

Frank Bidart What's American About American Form? Modernism in English poetry was the creation of Americans, and Ezra Pound was the central figure in this. You know his famous assertions: "Make it new," "Literature is news that stays news." Even in that very famous and influential essay, "Tradition and the Individual Talent," T.S. Eliot talks about an ideal order made by all the works of art of the past, and that to enter that order you have to do something that's new. The premise is that to make a poem that truly joins those works that constitute what people understand as the heritage of literature, you have to be new. The Film Form and The Film Sense , he was arguing that the importance of montage proceeds from the same principle, and he too links it to the nature of the Chinese language. I think all of us on the panel, when we first heard about the panel on form, rued the prospect of one more rehearsal of the arguments about free verse versus formal verse. That's a barren distinction. The modernists did not understand their project as constituting a rebellion against formal verse, or form itself. It was a far more complicated and fundamental issue. They had the consciousness of making a revolution, and the fact that our nation is founded in revolution, founded in transgression, seems to me a fundamental, a recurrent theme in America's use of form. I think you can argue that another major innovation happened with confessional poetry, both through Allen Ginsberg in

Charles Ksir Written by Robert Lowell Frank Bidart David Gewanter ISBN 0374126178 Price $45.00 Customer Reviews This is an excellent work in belles lettres literature.The author covers a range of poems from history, nature,geography, the elements, voyages, portraits and the fourseasons. He writes in a fine English tradition worthyof serious literary review and critique. Here are samples:"I took the preacher's text too much for Gospel truth: "In the light of your eyes, rejoice and have your wish!" or"In the verse coming next he serves another dish; What are childhood and youth but vanity and vice?"How about a quotation from the poem "Autumn"!"Shaking , I listen for the word to fall; building a scaffold makes no deafer sound.Each heartbeat knocks my body to the ground,like a slow battering ram crumbling a wall."Lowell's poetry is both informative and relaxing. It is recommended for general reading or as collegiate literarycritique. This is probably the most important collection published in America since Wallace Stevens's 1954 Collected Poems. Although after the publication of Elizabeth Bishop and James Merrill's collected poems Lowell's position no longer seems as pre-eminent as it once did, no poet of his era more intimately captured the uneasy spirit of the Fifties and Sixties. Ginsberg spoke more directly for the disaffected, but Lowell captured the larger unease of America and made it his own, dominating his age as few poets ever have. His voice is unmistakable. His best poems retain their original vitality, and even his weakest poems remain unique in their flaws. Everyone with the slightest interest in poetry will want to own this book.

Rather than affect the benign, distanced stance typical of the author on tour, Bidart embodied his work. He read a long poem, "The Second Hour of the Night" from his collection Desire, the retelling of the Greek myth of Adonis and his conception as the result of incest between his mother, Myrrha, and his/her father, King Cinyras. The story of Myrrha and Cinyras is one of desperate passion and as Greek myth is wont to be of fierce revenge. As a poet and performer, Bidart makes use of operatic gestures. He began "The Second Hour of the Night" quietly, and as with an opening overture, his introduction foretold a journey that would take the audience down into the realm of tragedy. "The underlying aesthetic in my work is one of embodiment," Bidart says, and, in performance, "I have to attempt to make that embodiment happen." That night in Wash. U.'s Duncker Hall, the bodying forth of the spellbinding, and appalling, tale of Adonis' incestuous birth took some effort on the audience's part to fully realize and contain. Again, just as in opera, with one misstep, Bidart's performance could have dissolved into camp. "Anything that's about extraordinary passion is on the edge of being ridiculous," Bidart readily admits. "And that's why the artifice involved has got to be just right, or it looks ridiculous, as opera can. The world is full of parodies of opera. Art is stylization. Art is artifice. Artifice, if you look at it at a slightly different angle, suddenly all you can see is the artifice, and it becomes ridiculous."

LC INFORMATION BULLETIN December 1998 Library of Congress Home Page Frank Bidart Awarded Bobbitt Prize Bronze Bust Unveiled to Honor Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt by Yvonne French A Library love story involving LBJ's sister spawned a poetry prize 10 years ago. This year, that prize, the Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt prize, was awarded Oct. 22 to Frank Bidart. Mr. Bidart won the prize for his book Desire (1997, Farrar, Straus and Giroux). To commemorate the 10th year of the biennial prize, three former winners also read. Photo by Yvonne French "This is a distinguished prize awarded to distinguished poets," said Dr. Billington. Said Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry Robert Pinsky: "There is a risk in establishing a poetry prize as a memorial. Prizes can be baloney. A prize is as good as the people who win it. This prize has a wonderful, wonderful record." The $10,000 privately funded poetry prize is given on behalf of the nation. The prize is donated by the family of the late Mrs. Bobbitt of Austin, Texas, in her memory, and established at the Library of Congress. While she was a graduate student in Washington during the 1930s, Rebekah Johnson met O.P. Bobbitt when they both worked in the cataloging department at the Library. Bobbitt had matriculated to Washington from Texas by train on a ticket purchased from the sale of a cow. They later married and returned to Texas.

57. Gewanter Reviews Bidart's "Desire" Boston Review, Desire frank bidart Farrar, Straus Giroux, $20. by David Gewanter. The haunting dramas of frank bidart s latest book http://www.bostonreview.net/BR23.2/gewanter.html

Desire Frank Bidart by David Gewanter The haunting dramas of Frank Bidart's latest book, Desire , add to a body of work already rivaling twentieth-century poetry's great spiritual inquiries: T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets and W. B. Yeats's A Vision . Eliot sought resolution, if not absolution, in Anglican dogma; he casts a drama of existential nihilism as the dark night from which the soul turning to God can escape. Yeats saw no hell below heaven and earth, but sought another realm of being. He adopted a Heraclitean exchange-mortals and immortals living each other's deaths-to lyrics such as "Sailing to Byzantium" and "The Gyres." Bidart's new poems explore the night-world of desire where, as an earlier poem claims, "WHAT YOU LOVE IS YOUR FATE" ("Guilty of Dust"). The speakers-each an actor, victim, and witness to desire-recognize that by seeking love we discover what is within us: " I fulfill it, because I contain it " ("The Second Hour of the Night"). In this we find a Romantic ideal, love and self-love fused in the passion for "one of the sparrows which fly by," although our desires for the forbidden may prove stronger: "once you have seen a hand cut off, or / a foot, or a head, you have embarked, have begun … / The voyage" ("As the Eye to the Sun").

Given annually, the $150,000 award recognizes outstanding and proven mastery in the art of poetry. "His work has been, from the start, remarkable in its disdain for the soothing, the sentimental, the facile, the partial. He is, in the feeling of our jury, one of the great poets of our time." A member of the Wellesley faculty since 1973, Bidart teaches poetry workshops and 20th century poetry. His collections of poetry include Desire (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997), which received the 1998 Bobbitt Prize for Poetry from the Library of Congress and the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award;

I also teach writing and critical interpretation. I have published essays on contemporary poetry, feminist theory, and the shaping of ethnic identity in contemporary American writing. My book, Cultural Haunting: Ghosts and Ethnicity in Recent American Literature , examines how the process of ethnic redefinition is represented in contemporary literature. Defining the "story of cultural haunting" as a genre to emerge in the last quarter of this century, the book explores how the figure of the ghost operates as a particularly rich metaphor for the imaginative recuperation of the past and the complexities of cultural transmission.

Bidart's eagerly awaited book Desire is his first since In the Western Night: Collected Poems 1965-1990 . It contains the long multi-voiced poem "The Second Hour of the Night," which draws on the writings of Berlioz and Ovid to continue the meditation of his earlier "The First Hour of the Night," exploring loss, sexuality, and the sources of the poetic urge. "It can be said of Bidart as of no other poet now writing in English that he truly expresses the civilization of which he is a part he accumulates and broods over the collective experience of Western culture and deepens that culture with his own response."-Library Journal J.D.McClatchy is the author of four collections of poems- Scenes from Another Life Stars Principal The Rest of the Way (1990), and
