	Alan Dugan Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Alan Dugan was born on February 12, 1923, in Brooklyn, New York.
		Dugan was also fond of using lots of invective, vulgar slang, and scatological terms to achieve his effects.
		Dugan was different, and it's difficult to compare him to any other poet, although he created a significant number of poems.

	Alan Dugan, Poems Seven: New and Complete Poetry. New York: Seven Stories Press, 2001.(Book Review) - HighBeam ...
		Dugan's plain diction and simple constructions eschew the notion of order through elaboration of form, but embrace instead the possibility that order exists in its own right, as an element of chaos itself.
		Dugan's ironic detachment seems strange because it applies to the voice--the speaker--of the poem, whether first or third person, as well as to the ostensible subject.
		That is, rather than indulging in self-examination, producing a poem of introversion (with all its consequent concealments), Dugan engages in self-exposure, which is as rare in poetry as it is in life.

	The Pedestal Magazine
		Reading Alan Dugan is something best done with a) a sense of humor, b) a tabla rasa as far as poetics are concerned, and c) the patience to read enough of his poems to engross yourself in his voice and methods.
		Dugan wasn’t thinking marketing strategy, how to best confuse the reader, or which carefully calibrated selection of words would distantly foreshadow the undercurrents of his book, he was laying the groundwork for the way his poems operate: They are bare.
		Dugan is conscious of every move he makes as an artist, and he is capable in his field; however, for all his art, as with anyone’s, he ultimately comes to the final truth of: “it is a good life if life is good.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Obituaries / Alan Dugan, 80; his stark poetry yielded bleakness, beauty
		Alan Dugan of Truro, an American poet whose oeuvre spanned the World War II and postwar eras, and their political and cultural struggles, died Wednesday in Cape Cod Hospital.
		Dugan's poems "spare, quirky, fierce, unconcessive, grudging, loving, and terribly real." With their oaken plainness and unvarnished treatment of hard facts, his poems are seldom lyrical in the customary sense: No "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" for him.
		Dugan and his wife lived in a rent-controlled 10th Street apartment in New York City (originally rented by Shahn's mother) for much of their lives until they finally lost it in the late 1990s and moved full time to their house in Truro (originally purchased in 1924 by Shahn's father).

	Salem Press
		Alan Dugan had been publishing poems in literary magazines for a number of years—winning an award from Poetry as early as 1947—before his first book of poetry was published in 1961.
		Dugan has given many poetry readings, and, after adjusting to his high voice and the purposely undramatic, cold presentation, audiences have found that his style of reading fits the poems.
		Dugan often speaks sarcastically of war, whether it is one of Alexander’s, the American Civil War, the two World Wars, or the Vietnam War—all of which make appearances in his poetry.

		Dugan told the Cape Cod Times in 2001 his poetry happens "automatically." "They are given to me by an unconscious series of voices — I guess what you used to call inspiration.

	JAMAICA HIGH SCHOOL NOTEWORTHY ALUMNI
		Alan Dugan, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet whose ironic and unsentimental verse pondered the challenge of finding freedom and purpose in moments of ordinary life, died on Wednesday in Hyannis, Mass.
		Dugan's tone was compared to that of the local bartender, though a particularly eloquent one.
		Dugan's technical virtuosity in that first book included one poem, "On the Elk, Unwitnessed," in which the iambic pentameter of Greek tragedy was articulated into contemporary speech rhythms.

		The next week, before the workshop began, Dugan took me aside--he had reconsidered my poem, slightly, had brought it home and read into it more deeply (probably more deeply than it deserved), noticed what he now praised as my "problem with time," that in it everything keep happening at once.
		I was touched that Dugan, legend, a poet I deeply admired, had taken it upon himself to return to my not-so-impressive attempt.
		Dugan continued to be generous and blunt, brilliant and intent.

		Dugan has published at least nine other books of poetry, either collections or new works, in the ensuing four decades.
		Dugan himself, speaking to All Things Considered host Linda Wertheimer, hinted that all the critics over the years may be putting too much thought into the meaning of the words -- and missing the words themselves: "You can’t say poetry should be about something or shouldn't be about something," he says.
		Dugan currently lives in Truro, Mass., and is married to painter and printmaker Judith Shahn.

		Dugan’s work by its rigor, its powerful self-examination, and its shunning of easy answers (the intellectual equivalent of happy endings) is a model of fidelity to truth, logic, and courage.
		Dugan was hard on himself and inspired others to be likewise ruthless in their investigations.

		Il debutto di Dugan risale al 1961, quando pubblicò la sua prima raccolta di versi, "Poems", in cui cercò di riprendere la metrica dei classici greci per articolare una poesia capace di dare ritmo "ai discorsi quotidiani dei nostri contemporanei".
		Il linguaggio crudo, lo slang volgare, le invettive e parolacce, che Dugan usava mescolati a termini filosofici e teologici, gli hanno spesso attirato addosso le ire dei benpensanti.

		Dugan's 1961 Poems (that year's Yale Younger Poets winner) turned much of the poetry establishment on its ear: Dugan's irreverent or cynical poems, full of horse sense and completely resistant to gloss, spoke to a community of readers soured on old forms and unattached to new ones.
		What you remember most after reading Dugan's poems is his sense of play, as evidenced by a few of the titles: "The Esthetics of Circumcision," "On the Supposed Immortality of Orchids," "Gargoyle's Song for a Warming Trend," and "Funeral Oration for a Mouse."
