		In 2001, Eshleman received the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award of the American Academy of Poets for his translation of Incan-Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo's long poem "Trilce," regarded by many critics as the greatest poem written during the last hundred years.
		Eshleman's extreme care as a translator is evident in the fact that he first published "Trilce" in 1992, then revised it substantially in 2000.
		Eshleman and his wife Caryl are authorities on Ice Age art, having written about the subject in poetry and prose for more than a quarter century.

		What Eshleman elsewhere terms the "autonomous imagination," the ability to think and speak in symbolic terms, in metaphors and images, is born of a moment of loss, when early humanity began to conceive of itself as distinct from the world it inhabited.
		Eshleman's poetry is often a poetics in poetry: a meditation on and demonstration of the workings of the poem as they are at work.
		Eshleman's dialogue with the discipline of prehistory is conducted more overtly than is his often-implicit continuance of the poetic tradition.

		Clayton Eshleman was born Ira Clayton Eshleman Jr.
		He is the only child of Gladys and Clayton Eshleman, both Presbyterians, and from midwestern backgrounds (Eshleman himself believes that "Eshleman" is based on "ash" as in "ash tree," and that he is a wee bud on the world tree, Yggdrasill).

		Eshleman’s Everwhat, the reverse of a cliché expressing indifference, tracks familiar ground for anyone reading his oeuvre of the last two decades—meditations on the poets Henri Michaux, Omar Caceres, Cesar Vallejo, the painters Leon Golub, Francis Bacon, and a variety of verse essays on surrealism, flness, and violence.
		Eshleman’s caustic wit and indefatigable imagination for the bizarre and exotic are quickened by moral outrage and disillusionment.
		As Eshleman perceives the matter, imagination was the birth of human identity and the death of a paradisal continuity with the rest of nature.

		The title is a line from one of Eshleman’s own poems announcing that this translator is not one who maintains distance between himself and his work.
		Eshleman, in exploring and exploding poems that are from the abyss; climbing in himself to reveal that the process of confrontation with the other, the mind of the original writer through the writing, produces another kind of art, a shadow art, translation.
		This is clear in his introduction in his self-disclosures, but also in his references to literary critical lenses and, especially, his evocation of the Russian critic, Mikhail Bahktin who only came to the attention of the west in the last twenty or so years and is, for some, an answer to the problems of Derrida.

		Eshleman, after being introduced by Jim Clifford (a professor in the History of Consciousness program whose own work was published in Eshleman’s late journal Sulfur), gave a fascinating presentation on prehistoric cave art in southern France.
		Eshleman’s website, with excerpts from his work, is at http://www.claytoneshleman.com.
		However, Eshleman re-frames it as an "upper paleolithic imagination," a kind of innovation, and one that has a strong and lasting relevance and direct influence on our way of thinking.

		Most moving of all are the many lyrics about the courage, beauty, humor, and desire of the poet’s wife, Caryl; also her growing fragility, and the poet’s first intimations of a life without her.
		Here is the growth of Clayton Eshleman's creative psyche from mud-caked Midwestern taproot to mature cosmopolitan flower, from inchoate youth to subtle mythologist of the caveman and of Paleolithic consciousness ("a single smoking road runs from Indianapolis to Lascaux!").
		Eshleman's is a highly individual poetry, yet one that demonstrates how each of us belongs, not just to our self, but also to those numberless selves who've gone before and to the collective human consciousness that underlies all our thoughts.

	Conductors of the Pit Review
		Since Eshleman is in fact one of the best American translators of Latin American poetry, his versions of Vallejo and Neruda are particularly welcome.
		The younger Eshleman was heavily inflluenced by the visions of two senior poet-translators, Paul Blackburn and Cid Corman.
		After some thought I concluded that the organizing principle of Eshleman's career as a translator is a sort of negative capability: a willingness to be influenced both by his numerous co-translators and by the poets themselves.

		May, when the American poet Clayton Eshleman stopped, en route to his annual cave-tour of the Dordogne, to give a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the mind of a postmodern polymath.
		Eshleman continues to criticise writing programmes in America and their derivatives in Britain (‘Writing has taken over; reading has been abandoned.’), characterising them as the spawning grounds for mediocre literature and prompting defensive responses from tutors of writing at Warwick.
		Knowing that Eshleman is a rigorous translator who has written that ‘By adding to, subtracting from and reinterpreting the original, the translator implies that he know better than the original text knows, that in effect his mind is superior to its mind.

		Clayton Eshleman is one of our most admired and controversial poets, the translator of such great international poets as César Vallejo, Aimé Césaire and Antonin Artaud, and founder and editor of two important literary magazines, Sulfur and Caterpillar.
		As such, Eshleman writes about the vocation of poet and of the poet as translator as no one else in America today; he believes adamantly that art must concern itself with vision, and that poets learn best by an apprenticeship that is a kind of immersion in the work of other poets.
		Eshleman has published twelve books of original poetry, two volumes of essays, and translations of Vallejo, Césaire, Neruda, Artaud, Holan and Deguy.

		Eshleman is a prolific poet and, although each book has its own thematic integrity, it is easy to lose track of the larger vision.
		It traces the evolution of Eshleman's poetry, from the early poems exploring personality, through the Reichean depths of the darkest self, outward through the paleolithic caves of southern France, and full circle back to the reborn creative self reaching out to others.
		"Suffering/ is truer to man than joy," Eshleman writes in a relatively early poem; variations on this theme have remained central to his work.

		It is also highly unique, a species of work outside Eshleman's usual concerns with the underworld, the Ice Age caverns of southern France and northern Spain, the "dark embryo" of the unconscious aroused by the pulse of primal energies, ancient rites and powerful desires, ghosts, spirits, ancestors, souls, daimones.
		Clayton has also been one of the most studious and assiduous translators of modern poetry: especially the works of César Vallejo, Antonin Artaud and Aimé Césaire.
