	Archibald MacLeish's Life and Career

		Winnick, ed., Archibald MacLeish: Letters 1907-1982 (1983), is invaluable, and two volumes of conversations and interviews are useful: Warren V.

	[minstrels] The End of the World -- Archibald MacLeish
		It is much easier to recognize a great poem (you just wait for the hair on the back of your neck to rise) than it is to explain why you think it is a great poem, but here goes.
		To begin with, MacLeish pulls you in with the first two words -- "Quite unexpectedly" -- and you rush ahead to the details of a circus performance.
		MacLeish also blows the top off any notion that the sonnet is a staid and old fashioned form.

	Wordcarvers: Archibald MacLeish 'Ars Poetica' and 'You, Andrew Marvel'
		Archibald MacLeish wrote a poem, Ars Poetica, that ended with the line: "a poem should not mean, but be." This has been widely misinterpreted as saying a poem should not have structure or content, intellectually, but nothing could be further from the truth.
		MacLeish was reacting to the conscious drive to "be poetic", to strive for gravitas, or deeper meaning.
		If that's the case, wouldn't it be wise to be very careful to consider they may have meant nothing, and it is the reader who is assigning meaning.

	Kate B. Benedict's Dreck of the Greats: Archibald MacLeish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Archibald MacLeish (1892-1982) achieved enormous fame in his lifetime, both for his literary output and his public service; he was Librarian of Congress for ten years and FDR’s Assistant Secretary of State for two.
		It is perhaps unfortunate that his most anthologized poem, Ars Poetica, while beautifully phrased, is, at heart, didactic and rather dishonest; MacLeish himself wrote with an astonishing variety of styles, themes and tones and certainly did not mold himself to the advice for poets he lays down there.
		The poem featured this month, from MacLeish’s late volume "The Wild Old Wicked Man” & Other Poems," is perhaps less drecky than profoundly odd.
