62. Gewanter Reviews Bidart's "Desire" Desire frank bidart Farrar, Straus Giroux, $20. by David Gewanter.The haunting dramas of frank bidart's latest book, Desire, add http://bostonreview.mit.edu/BR23.2/gewanter.html

Desire Frank Bidart by David Gewanter The haunting dramas of Frank Bidart's latest book, Desire , add to a body of work already rivaling twentieth-century poetry's great spiritual inquiries: T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets and W. B. Yeats's A Vision . Eliot sought resolution, if not absolution, in Anglican dogma; he casts a drama of existential nihilism as the dark night from which the soul turning to God can escape. Yeats saw no hell below heaven and earth, but sought another realm of being. He adopted a Heraclitean exchange-mortals and immortals living each other's deaths-to lyrics such as "Sailing to Byzantium" and "The Gyres." Bidart's new poems explore the night-world of desire where, as an earlier poem claims, "WHAT YOU LOVE IS YOUR FATE" ("Guilty of Dust"). The speakers-each an actor, victim, and witness to desire-recognize that by seeking love we discover what is within us: " I fulfill it, because I contain it " ("The Second Hour of the Night"). In this we find a Romantic ideal, love and self-love fused in the passion for "one of the sparrows which fly by," although our desires for the forbidden may prove stronger: "once you have seen a hand cut off, or / a foot, or a head, you have embarked, have begun … / The voyage" ("As the Eye to the Sun"). The soul's dilemma, then, is how to embrace a passion for what is horrifying and destructive when the consciousness of such desire could annihilate the self. Here Bidart covers familiar ground; indeed, his brilliant long poem "The Second Hour of the Night" offers us another nihilistic hero, Myrrha, to follow the memorable anti-selves of earlier poems, "Herbert White," "Ellen West," and "The War of Vaslav Nijinsky." In a narrative from Ovid, Myrrha lusts after her father; disguised, she enters his bedchamber:

Poet of the week Welcome to the poet of the week page.

(Please note that "poet of the week" may prove to be a misnomer if I start slacking off in my updating duties.) And so for your reading fun, I present this weeks poet of the week: Frank Bidart Personal note: I discovered Mr. Bidart almost by accident about a year ago while leafing through my copy of The Best of American Poetry 1998 . There is a poem called "The Second Hour of the Night" which I found very interesting, and unusual stylistically. Well, unusual is a bad word. But it was unique. I recently did a presentation for my creative writing class on Bidart, and read several of his books, all of which are very good. Here are some excerpts: Love Incarnate For the Twentieth Century Guilty of Dust Dark Night ...

Frank Hecker Interests Frank Hecker - Interests - Poetry I rediscovered poetry as an adult by reading Adrienne Rich (go figure), who is still one of my favorites. Here's what I've been reading in the past year: Alexander Pope's translation of the Iliad . This is well-worth reading, especially if modern translations of Homer leave you cold. It also has great footnotes, with frequent flashes of Pope's wit. Frank Bidart, In the Western Night and Desire . In my opinion one of the best American poets working today. Jorie Graham, The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974-1994 . This book won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in poetry, but having read several of Graham's books I have to confess that I find her a maddeningly inconsistent poet. Some of the poems in Unified Field are excellent (for example, "Self-Portrait as the Gesture between Them") and others are complete clunkers ("Breakdancing" comes to mind). (Graham's strengths and weaknesses are reminiscent of Wallace Stevens'. A good rule of thumb: skip any poem that attempts to address social or cultural issues.) The Poems of Catullus , translated by Charles Martin;

71. Threepenny: Bidart, Curse A poem by frank bidart, expressed as a curse on behalf of the dead ofSeptember 11, in the Spring 2002 issue of The Threepenny Review. http://www.threepennyreview.com/samples/bidart_sp02.html

Spring 2002 Curse May breath for a dead moment cease as jerking your head upward you hear as if in slow motion floor collapse evenly upon floor as one hundred and ten floors descend upon you. May what you have made descend upon you. May the listening ears of your victims their eyes their breath enter you, and eat like acid the bubble of rectitude that allowed you breath. May their breath now, in eternity, be your breath. Now, as you wished, you cannot for us not be. May this be your single profit. Of your rectitude at last disenthralled, you seek the dead. Each time you enter them they spit you out. The dead find you are not food. Out of the great secret of morals, the imagination to enter the skin of another , what I have made is a curse.

POET FRANK BIDART READS FROM HIS WORK Award-winning poet Frank Bidart visited Stonehill on March 6 to read from his collection of work. Presented by the English department, Bidart recited his poetry to a room filled with more than 150 students and faculty members. Bidart studied at the University of California at Riverside and at Harvard, where he was a student and friend of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, most notably the Academy of American Poets' Wallace Stevens Award, the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Foundation Writer's Award, the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award, and the Shelley Award of the Poetry Society of America. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his newest volume of poetry, Desire (1997), Bidart is currently editing an edition of Robert Lowell's collected poems. His new chapbook, Music Like Dirt , will be published in April by by Sarabande Books. Poet Louise Glück remarked of Bidart, he "has given form for our age to what is most urgent and private in the human soul: the ordeals of solitude and mortality and hunger and, recently...the drive to create...His work has been, from the start, remarkable in its disdain for the soothing, the sentimental, the facile, the partial. He is...one of the great poets of our time."

Ellen West : "Cracking the Shell of the World" Frank Bidart 1) How many voices do you hear in "Ellen West"? Mark the places in your text where you hear/see the voice changing. What clues (in vocabulary, in layout on the page, in line length, in punctuation, etc. alert you to a change in the voice? 2) As you all displayed so dramatically in the performances of "My Last Duchess"voice also changes in tone throughout a monologue, sometimes angry, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes cold and controlled. How does Ellen's voice change within her sections of the poem. Where is she angry or despairing, or self-doubting or confident or.... 3) Helen Vendler catalogues some of the components Bidart pours into his dramatic monologues. How many of these can you see in Ellen West and where do you find them? 4) What do you think Vendler means by 'cinematic' in her comment on Bidart's construction of the monologue?
