Much of Jacobsen's poetry deals with the experience of being human and the natural world. But why won't he/she finish it? If you want to sketch on canvas, that's fine but it isn't called a painting, is it? A prose poem is a prose sketch, isn't it? How is it a poem? Just musing.) Gentle Reader Phrase It's like going to a painter's house and seeing a bunch of primed canvases with a pencil sketches on them- you can see it's going to be an interesting painting. I have read some wonderful prose poems, I just always lament that they didn't finish it. I don't see the necessity of having another genre. I don't understand the term very well because to me, there is poetic prose and there's poetry. (Breaking off briefly to say that this is the only kind of prose-poem you will read here. Joyce has, maybe, two periods in the whole chapter in which Molly speaks, forming his own sort of prose-poem as you read it.

She had a considerable outreach program to change that which was fairly successful. In her tenure as consultant she grieved the lack of African-American poets attending the Library of Congress events and the infrequency of their being published. She was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1994 and was awarded the Robert Frost Medal for Lifetime Achievement in 1997. She was Poet Laureate (or 'consultant' as they now call it and I sort of petulantly ignore from its business-like jerkiness) of the U.S from 1971-1973. This poetry drinks me, eats me, gut and marrow O God, it peels me, juices me like a press Late in the night when I should be asleepĪbout in cruel cruel beds, crying. This manifests in many ways, some financial – on occasion the progress of the project has been obliged to.

Constraint, in the first instance because of the way the creation of the texts contends with the material conditions of my life. S ending out the first batch of “gentle reader” epistles i am immediately noticing things about the way the texts negotiate constraint, incursion and risk.
