	On Carl Rakosi's "The Menage"
		Rakosi's poems that include sexuality and his love of women are usually amused, sometimes sardonic, observations on male and phallic assumptions.
		Rakosi's use of dyadic verse seems to have been a later stylistic development for him, arising most strongly in the second part of his writing career, after a twenty-five-year hiatus.
		Rakosi's development of what I would call the "diadic foot," employed in most of his poems of epistemological meditation, can be seen as a productive innovation in objectivist poetics.

		Rakosi made his mark in the Objectivist issue of Poetry magazine, in 1931, as a Pound protégé.
		But Rakosi and his fellow poets, George Oppen, Charles Reznikoff and Louis Zukofsky, were already moving past Pound's modernism, which seemed to them almost as moribund as the tradition it was trying to overthrow.
		Although Rakosi, in poems such as New Orleans Transient Bureau, 1934, captures the rhythms of real speech, as it affects the reality of daily life, he could be wry on a larger scale.

	Arts in California (Regional Oral History Office)
		Carl Rakosi is best known as a member of the âObjectivistâ group of poets, who were first linked together in a special issue of Poetry Magazine published in 1931.
		During the 1930s, Rakosi was one of the more politically engaged of the group; yet, by the end of that red decade, he found it increasingly difficult to place his work.
		Throughout, Rakosi demonstrates his unique ability to place the final punctuation mark, in the form of a smile and shoulder shrug, of a particular story exactly at the point where others might begin to explain or interpret the story for the listener.

		Rakosi was well known in the Thirties, a leading member of the Objectivist Group, which also included William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, Charles Reznikoff, and George Oppen.

		Rakosi's poetry has affinities with that of the other Objectivisits, but his voice is very much his own.
