62. American Life in Poetry: Column 465
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE One of the founders of modernist poetry, Ezra Pound, advised poets and artists to “make it new.” I’ve never before seen a poem about helping a tree shake the snow from itself, and I like this one by… Continue Reading „62. American Life in Poetry: Column 465“
59. American Life in Poetry: Column 464
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE We human beings think we’re pretty special when compared to the “lower” forms of life, but now and then nature puts us in our place. Here’s an untitled short poem by Jonathan Greene, who lives in the outer… Continue Reading „59. American Life in Poetry: Column 464“

45. American Life in Poetry: Column 462
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE This year’s brutal winter surely calls for a poem such as today’s selection, a peek at the inner workings of spring.

41. American Life in Poetry: Column 461
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE So much of what we learn about life comes from exchanging stories, and this poem by a Californian, Peter Everwine, portrays that kind of teaching.

32. American Life in Poetry: Column 460
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE My parents didn’t live long enough to be confronted with the notion of paying for a bottle of water. They’d be horrified. Pay for water? Who ever heard of such a thing? Well . . . Here’s a… Continue Reading „32. American Life in Poetry: Column 460“
14. Verfälscht
Die deutsche Charles-Bukowski-Gesellschaft hält viele Texte, die nach dem Tod des Autors veröffentlicht wurden, für stark verfälscht.

13. Mr. Bukauski
Der „New Yorker“, die amerikanische Zeitschrift für den kulturellen Feingeist, wunderte sich. Da gäbe es lyrische Preisträger wie Howard Nemerov oder Amy Clampitt.

102. Total translation
In den erhitzten Diskursen über die zeitgenössische Lyrik* werden die magischen Quellen der Dichtung oft vergessen – als da sind: der Schamanismus, die animistische Anrufung, der Beschwörungszauber. An ihrer archaischen Quelle ist die Dichtung Gesang und das „Geheul“ des Priesters und Heilers. In dieser… Continue Reading „102. Total translation“
93. American Life in Poetry: Column 458
BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE Thomas R. Moore, a poet from Maine, has written a fine snow-shoveling poem, and this is a good time of year for it. I especially admire the double entendre of “squaring off.” Removing the Dross After snowstorms my… Continue Reading „93. American Life in Poetry: Column 458“
86. Elizabeth Bishop
The New Yorker öffnet seine Archive ein wenig und gibt uns einige Texte, ein Foto und sogar ein Gemälde von Elizabeth Bishop. Nicht alle Links sind frei zugänglich, aber genug um es auszuprobieren.
