All together-- the poems are even better
Intense Words and Feelings
The foundation ofWCW'sart
Intense Forget about the conventional tactics of poetry (meter, rhyme, etc.).Williams effectively occupies theouter regions of the land which is not prose.His power always properlylay in the simple yet vivid images (visual, aural, tactile, etc.) behindthe words.
I've a grudging respect for the man as a poet. Upon A red wheel Barrow, Glazed with rain Water
Beside the white Chickens." Very nice.The vivid white of the chickens and theshining-glass image of the water that "glazes" (one of WCW'sfavorite words) the wheelbarrow is imbued with immediacy and novelty: fresh experiences with commonplace things.That's great. However, Ihave trouble with his "variable foot".(Employed, for example,in a poem called, I believe, "Mr. T" though not of A-Team fame.) The whole point of meter is to emulate the measure-bars in music:aconstant beat to which the tune may be set.However, the triadic linesporting his variable feet, ostensibly to account for the "rapidity ofAmerican speech", just doesn't work.The only way for it to work isif you were reading Mr. T, or if the speaker gave infinitesimally shorterpauses between the triad-fragments so that the listener can detect thedifference between a line-break and a pause separating the feet.WCWfocused so much on the visual aspect of his poems that it makes you wonder,as a formalist friend of mine once put it, why he bothered to read hispoems at all:why didn't WCW just give slideshows? On top of that, WCW hadthe gall to assault formalist poetry:I quote to the best of myrecollection:"The sonnet is the form of the tyrant" and"You cannot write a sonnet without making gestures of loyalty to thecourt of Elizabeth I." In response to some of the garbage beingspouted by WCW, both on the page and otherwise, Dylan Thomas once referredto WCW as one of the modern poets who was responsible for the Death of theEar.And, hearing about all his arty posturings, I imagine how WCW wouldstand up to the likes of Kingsley Amis, Philip Larkin, Robert Conquest,Elizabeth Jennings, and the other Movement poets, who would have lit intohim like Alex's droogs in Burgess' _A Clockwork Orange_. Too bad they nevermet. ... Read more |
