Can Poetry Matter? - 91.05
A 1991 essay examining why poetry has vanished as a cultural force in America.
http://www3.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.

Resurgence Issue 204 - Dana Gioia: POET OF A COMMON WORLD. Poetry
Poetry dana gioia POET OF A COMMON WORLD. These were some of the trenchant claimsmade by the American poet dana gioia in his book Can Poetry Matter? (1992).
http://resurgence.gn.apc.org/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.

"Such clever hands," I used to say. I gave them names I never spoke aloud. You tell me how you met and where you'll live. It's easier to watch your lips than listen. Your eyes flash in the candlelight like knives. The waiters drift by with their phantom meals. Tonight the dead are dining with the dead. You twist the wineglass slowly in your hand. And I speak of other things. What matters most Most often can't be said. Better to trust The forms that hold our grief. We understand

For more information concerning Dana Gioia, please click here No one expected the huge response that "Can Poetry Matter?" generated, especially not its author. Although no one believes me, I did not set out to create a controversy. I was simply trying to addressas directly and candidly as possiblethe increasing isolation of American poetry in our culture. On occasion I had the sense that I might be expressing an arguable proposition, but ironically those passages have been the ones to escape scrutiny. What stirred debate and even denunciation in some circles were assumptions that seemed to me utterly beyond argumentespecially the notions that poetry had once been popular in the United States, that a larger and more diverse audience might be good for the art, and that contemporary poetry might occupy a meaningful place outside the university. I thought those propositions self-evident. Not everyone agreed.
