   http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/poetry/gioia/gioia.htm
   
   Extractions: A MERICAN POETRY now belongs to a subculture. No longer part of the mainstream of artistic and intellectual life, it has become the specialized occupation of a relatively small and isolated group. Little of the frenetic activity it generates ever reaches outside that closed group. As a class poets are not without cultural status. Like priests in a town of agnostics, they still command a certain residual prestige. But as individual artists they are almost invisible. What makes the situation of contemporary poets particularly surprising is that it comes at a moment of unprecedented expansion for the art. There have never before been so many new books of poetry published, so many anthologies or literary magazines. Never has it been so easy to earn a living as a poet. There are now several thousand college-level jobs in teaching creative writing, and many more at the primary and secondary levels. Congress has even instituted the position of poet laureate, as have twenty-five states. One also finds a complex network of public subvention for poets, funded by federal, state, and local agencies, augmented by private support in the form of foundation fellowships, prizes, and subsidized retreats. There has also never before been so much published criticism about contemporary poetry; it fills dozens of literary newsletters and scholarly journals.

    Extractions: Dana Gioia This is the first of two interviews conducted with Dana in 1995. To read the second interview, click here One of the most controversial voices in contemporary poetry belongs to Dana Gioia, a poet, critic, editor, and translator whose essay "Can Poetry Matter?" (first published in The Atlantic in 1991) set an ambitious agenda for restoring poetry's primacy in American letters. Gioia's crisp analyses of the state of contemporary poetry and his bold prescriptions for change have placed him at the center of a volatile debate on poetry's relevance to contemporary culture. In the first of this two-part series, Gioia discusses his critical perspective on the present and future of American poetry. A prolific writer and editor, Gioia has published two poetry collections

18. The Hand Of The Poet: John Keats
    Poems and papers in manuscript by Rodney Phillips, Susan Benesch, Kenneth Benson and Barbara Bergeron and essays by dana gioia. From the New York Public Library .

    Extractions: Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., 1997 Keats's second book, the woefully ambitious Endymion (1818), was savaged by the Tory press. Blackwood's sneered: "It is a better and wiser thing to be a starved apothecary than a starved poet; so back to the shop Mr John." Undeterred, Keats entered a period of rapid intellectual and poetic development, beautifully charted in his remarkable and moving letters. With astonishing speed, supreme confidence, and the greatest artistic mastery, Keats wrote virtually all his major poetry between January and September of 1819. This amazing creative flowering could not last. On February 3, 1820, Keats coughed blood for the first time ("That drop of blood is my death warrant. I must die."). Here began the final phase of an excruciating danse macabre with the disease that had claimed not only his mother, but little more than a year before his beloved younger brother, Tom. He traveled to Italy in a desperate effort to regain his health, but died there on February 23, 1821, directing that the epitaph for his Roman grave be inscribed "Here lies one whose name was writ in water." ... who but the supreme and perfect artist could have got from a mere colour a motive so full of marvel: and now I am half enamoured of the paper that touched his hand, and the ink that did his bidding, grown fond of the sweet comeliness of his charactery, for since my childhood I have loved none better than your marvellous kinsman, that godlike boy, the real Adonis of our age.... In my heaven he walks eternally with Shakespeare and the Greeks....

19. Resurgence Issue 204 - Dana Gioia: POET OF A COMMON WORLD. Poetry
    dana gioia POET OF A COMMON WORLD These were some of the trenchant claims made by the American poet dana gioia in his book Can Poetry Matter?  
    http://www.gn.apc.org/resurgence/issues/gioia204.htm
    
    Extractions: Dana Gioia with a Mexican folk statue of Saint Sebastian from Resurgence issue 204 back to top What were the reasons for this narrowing of poetry to a small professional group? According to Dana Gioia, one of the main reasons lay with the artificial support for creative writing within universities. Ironically, this expansion in one confined area depleted its life in the larger community. It led, in the words of Gioia, to the superabundance of poetry within a small class and to a general impoverishment outside it. Without a place in the common culture, people became deprived of the spiritual challenge of poetry as well as the verbal charge of its formulation, while within the literary ghetto poetry was in danger of losing its way in a narcissistic maze of compliance, fashion and careerism. WHAT IS THE ANSWER to the dilemma? According to Gioia, the poet must struggle to re-enter the public realm. This could involve many different moves: from reviving many of the traditional measures of poetry, to connecting with other art forms; from writing poetry which is vulnerable, un-ironic and deeply moving, to redefining the role of poetry in the life of society. All the answers involve a dramatic movement from a professional ghetto out into the common world. We need poetry for its linguistic energy as for its seminal insight. Gioia himself is part of an American movement called Expansive Poetry. The title alone indicates the nature of his life-affirming agenda.

20. Interview With Dana Gioia
    An Interview With Poet and Critic dana gioia. Published in ELF Eclectic LiteraryForum Summer, 1995 A poem need not shout to be heard. dana gioia  
    http://gloria-brame.com/glory/gioia2.htm
    
    Extractions: Dana Gioia This is the second of two interviews conducted with Dana in 1995. To read the first interview, and the introduction by GGB, click here GGB: The Gods of Winter is dedicated to the memory of your son, Michael Jasper. Has your son's death redirected your artistic vision? GIOIA: The sudden death of my first son not only changed my life initially, but it still influences me daily in ways both large and small. Losing him brutally clarified my life. It made me recognize what mattered and what did not. I more or less stopped writing for a year. I no longer saw the point of working towards anything. Until then I had always found solace in writing. During my first ten years in business, I had managed to write almost every night, even after spending twelve hours in the office. I worked every weekend. I gave up a great many things to carve out this time, but this nightly routine sustained me spiritually and creatively. It made my daytime life possible. Then suddenly the world I had so carefully constructed collapsed. My will snapped. I have never regained the patient discipline or quiet certitude of those years. As I slowly emerged from my pain, I resolved to reshape my life to build my daily existence on the things I valued most. I proceeded slowly because I wasn't always sure what I wanted. I made many changes. The most obvious one was leaving a business career I had invested seventeen hard years in building.
