What Sparks Poetry:
Aby Kaupang on Language as Form
"Often I have thought of Bidart’s insistence on the necessary poem as clarifying my draw to poetic architecture. One night, in looking for his specific quote (for the hundredth time), I re-read his 1983 interview with Mark Halliday and was newly drawn to the part where Bidart speaks of a 'will unbroken and in stasis' that has 'learned to refuse' what the world might easily offer." |

Marianne Moore: Celebrity Poet of Midcentury America
"Given the miseries of the 1940s, the start of the ’50s must have seemed miraculous. Moore’s Collected Poems (1951), dedicated to her mother’s memory, won the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Bollingen Prize, and subsequent honors poured in, along with speaking and writing invitations. In her mid-sixties, Marianne Moore started to become a household name."
