She could not see beyond the figures. Left by felled trees. Whereas the poet takes pains to depict the woman in the first stanza with a compassion he expresses in subsequent stanzas — only then to focus on his emaciated, exhausted father — his modus operandi is as cold-blooded as a king in his counting house.
Back in the s, without using a computer, the excellent Cincinnati poet David Schloss labored to justify both the right- and left-hand margins of his poems.
Well, Thirkield sings in his chains like a different sort of sea. In fact, to belabor the pun, he represents a kind of sea change in poetry. What does Thirkieldian poetry entail?
Allen Ginsberg: A Tribute
Tear this sheet from this whitewashed stone. Wear it! Along the way he flirts with venerable forms. A number of the poems here are sonnet length, but none executes a complete traditional scheme, and while tercets and quatrains are frequent, end rhyme is scarce.
The meter is flexible within those rough visual limits, however, and a strict formalist Laird is not. I lie here like the closing bracket on the ledger of the mattress. Asleep between us the children are hyphens—one hyphen, one underscore— and it takes a few moments at five a.

It is perhaps suggestive that the poet who gets the most exposure in Feel Free is Cinna. Made famous for many a reader by the small role Shakespeare gave him in Julius Caesar, which lets him figure here as an object of political wrath, he was known in his day in Rome as one of the neoteric poets, members of an avant-garde that reacted to the Homeric influence by emphasizing technical innovation and developing genres lighter, more ludic, and ironic, along with subjects that seem at first blush superficial or banal.

He feels free to take the time to let possibilities open up before him, which is to say he pursues and abets the tendency of language, one of whose inescapable qualities is to lead us astray even as we need it to lead us on. For his part, Laird bears down so consistently, often with an eye to multivalence, that at his most adept he gives the impression of someone surrounded by an air so heavy with verse that all he must do is distill the lines. Needless to add, that is but a hard-earned illusion. Laird is a patient poet, and surely he is a poet who loves rewriting and then retouching as much as he does giving the poem its head.
Not long ago someone provided me with a T-shirt proclaiming advice I think he would appreciate. Laird breaks the initial scene down into components, each of which turns out on inspection to be as full of potential as the whole.

It is an analytical approach en abyme that enables him to discover the world in small on every hand. The language is so plain that dogs and cats can understand it, yet so disingenuously specific that its scene is almost unrecognizable. Nothing to speak of happens in this first of four ten-line stanzas. The age demanded an image Of its accelerated grimace, Something for the modern stage, Not, at any rate, an Attic grace;.
Not, not certainly, the obscure reveries Of the inward gaze; Better mendacities Than the classics in paraphrase! The sense of urban anxiety vanishes:. His newly perceptive clerk infers the invisible hands of director and stage manager:. The ampersands, unusual in this volume, can comport with such tight linguistic knots.
'At any rate, I prize coffee.' ~ Søren Kierkegaard
When your workshop session on poetic closes takes up the contemporary apocalypse, you might want to make this conclusion the cynosure. The sequence divides its focus between experiences he had with his mother when he was a child and experiences he has with his children. Each has fourteen lines broken into two seven-line parts, but each has its own feathery rhyme scheme. He lives in New York. See All Customer Reviews. Shop Textbooks. Read an excerpt of this book!
