		Hence, to grasp the significance of Edwin Denby's understanding of Balanchine's historic importance in re-constituting classicism as the fundamental stylistic mode of ballet, and his insightful feel for Balanchine's regulative principles which transformed and re-shaped the form of ballet, it is necessary to take an encapsulated glance at the history of ballet.
		For Edwin Denby, the question of the classicism in Balanchine's worksis interrelated to other topics such as, the nature of tradition, the depth of the purity of style and the future of classicism in ballet.
		Edwin Denby thought this to be the subjective meaning which expresses itself in Balanchine's abstract dance ballets through the cumulative effect of dramatic, lyrical and choral images.

	Untitled Document
		Edwin Denby, in an essay of 1943, on the choreographic work of Tudor, states that the visual rhythm evident in dance movement is comparable to that present in the cinema.
		The central point of the dance criticism of Edwin Denby is the universal perspective of its references and arguments for the relativity of dance cultures and dance forms, whether be that of African-Americans or that of Russians.
		Edwin Denby believed that Gautier had overcome this vexing paradox by simply ignoring the choreographic structure of dance and gliding over its technical component by writing from the perspective of a civilized entertainment seeker, that is the audience.

	Vincent Katz: Critisism
		By this time, the rudiments of his mature style were already evident: an unaffected fluency in the textures of his streets and skies and a discerning humanism that allowed him to depict people from all walks of life in their best possible light.
		Returning to Basel, Rudy was discovered by Edwin Denby, the American dance critic and poet, who came to him one winter day to get a passport photo taken.
		Denby introduced Burckhardt to the sophisticated world of the cultural elite -- among Denby's friends were Jean Cocteau, Virgil Thomson, Aaron Copland, Kurt Weill, Lotte Lenya, and the New York art world.

		This collection of writings by the American dance critic and poet, Edwin Denby, includes his reactions to choreography ranging from Martha Graham to the Rockettes, as well as his reflections on general topics including dance in film, dance criticism and meaning in dance.
		Denby's mission was to define the terms of dancewriting and make it vital to the art form.
		Denby himself sites a great reason for choreographers to be concise in a review of the first mounting of Balanchine's Apollo where he cites lines by Richard Howard on poetry, that advise, "...Always halve the line so that a rest is heard." But frequently fails to apply the tenet himself.

	Dance Criticism by Croce, Denby, Siegel
		Denby saw himself as a poet who wrote dance criticism, and his observations are often framed in terms of the poetic possibilities of dance.
		Denby witnessed the legendary clash in America of modern dance and classical ballet, often playing the mediator and apologist for both traditions.
		Denby's skepticism -- or at least ambivalence -- about the possibility of objective criticism is not articulated in explicit terms, but his subjectivist leanings are dominant.

		Edwin Denby: The way the snapshots of New York get people in just the right place in relation to the buildings around them, and the right angle on the buildings, and the right part of the buildings, is what makes the photographs so remarkable and real-looking.
		Edwin Denby: And so they were told ‘well, this is really a family movie’, everybody knows each other, they live in the neighbourhood, and so forth, you know, it’s not a professional movie.
		Edwin Denby: The cutting of the image and the cutting of the music are very interesting to watch, because they’re looser than you’d expect, and at the same time it registers.

	Alexandre Gallery
		Welliver’s portrait of the American poet Edwin Denby is small in scale, but possesses an extraordinarily powerful presence; it has the air of a much larger work, a condition that often is the case in Welliver’s smaller works.
		Denby is a bystander in the latter work, a curious studio juxtaposition to the central image of a large osprey nest.
		In the smaller portrait Denby symbolizes the energy of creative forces, in the latter the decline of the intellect’s power.

	Rudy Burckhardt's Maine - Edwin Denby
		Edwin Denby (1903-1983) was Rudy Burckhardt’s lifelong friend and collaborator.
		Denby, who was one of the most acclaimed dance critics of his time, devoted much of his poetic effort towards revivifying the sonnet form.
		Denby’s poems should be read aloud, slowly, and re-read, as their surprising shifts are entirely intentional and, in his best work, unaffected.

	gomarky.com :: Thinking Outloud.
		Most of what I gained as a poet from hip hop didn't come from graffiti or breakdancing either.
		Poets have long been inspired by distinct yet distantly related arts, by other contemporary and historical artistic expressions.
		Hearing Bird's "Koko" for the first time in my early twenties, then reading Yusef Komunyakaa only a year or two later, I was impressed how the poet had been influenced by jazz, how it gave him, among other things, his rhythm.

	On "A Step Away from Them"
		The poet's knowledge that he is only "A Step Away from Them," from the fate his artist friends have met, makes the final glass of papaya juice and the awareness that his "heart"--a book of Reverdy's poems--is in his pocket especially precious and poignant.
		But the juice the poet ingests is also contrasted to the heart which is in "my pocket" and which is "Poems by Pierre Reverdy." The heart is not in the body where it belongs but in a book, placed externally, in the poet's pocket.
		Here we can see that the poet re-presents and mobilises the city by means of the route he takes through it, and the walk and text are almost synchronous.

	Literary Crushes
		Denby's dance criticism has the same compact clarity as Porter's art criticism: he tells you what is there, image by image, fixing the successive moments with a dancer's eye and a poet's precision, and then you see what he saw, and partake of his understanding.
		Denby, like Porter, is a writer whose influence on me has been considerable, and it was in thinking about what the two men had in common that I made a discovery about the nature of my literary crushes: they are usually on authors whose styles are vastly different from mine.
		But when I read Denby or Porter, I feel as if theirs is the only possible way to write, and find myself lusting after a gnomic quality alien to my natural tone.

	deborah garwood on rudy burckhardt at tibor de nagy & studio school
		Burckhardt, Swiss by birth, and Denby, born in China to an American diplomat but educated at an elite private school in the US, met in Switzerland and migrated to New York together in 1935.
		Denby, after earning a degree in gymnastics in Austria in the 1920s, had applied his craft to experimental modernist dance performances in Germany as of 1929, and returned to New York already familiar with the extensive social milieu of transatlantic avant garde personalities at work in the city.
		Denby wrote an essay in 1954 for an audience of Julliard dance majors entitled "Dancers, Buildings, and People in the Streets" which has since become noted.

	Jacket 30 - July 2006 - Dale Smith: "The Sweet Singer of Modernism & Other Art Writings 1985-2003" by Bill Berkson
		The poet, by nature sensitive to language and image, while skeptical of the monetary flow of the art world, looks at painting to see what is fresh in the image and how it manages to apprehend some aspect of the world we live in.
		He received an extraordinary education as a young man, apprenticing himself to poets and painters to learn a language of modern art in the vibrant New York City art world of the 1950s.
		Learning too at a time before the art world was mismanaged into a professional scene of brokers and critics, Berkson studied the language of painters, how they view their work and talk about it.

	Jacket 21 - Simon Smith and Ron Padgett: A conversation about Edwin Denby
		Perhaps via Edwin’s poems reprinted in Locus Solus magazine and Edwin’s book Mediterranean Cities, which was still available in one bookshop in New York City, and In Public, in Private, which could be found in a few libraries, Ted had quickly become a great admirer of Edwin’s poetry.
		One of the impressions I have carried away from the poems is apprehension of scenes and events frame by frame, as though we are witness to the world through these poems as a series of splicings or jump cuts from an 8mm ciné film: the world on the split second moving through time.
		Edwin even disparaged his poetry, once saying to me, ‘No one would be interested in that old stuff.’ When his poetry was finally ‘rediscovered’ and published in book form, he was, Rudy told me, secretly pleased.

	Rudy Burckhardt in town & country: as a recent exhibition and documentary film suggest, this deceptively nonchalant ...
		Rudy Burckhardt (1914-1999) was an essential formulator of the attitudes and esthetics of the New York School, that amorphous field of painters, poets, composers and choreographers who were and are united by something more than simple proximity to New York City.
		The hinder is partly a fascination with the patterns and structures of everyday life and the speed with which they hurtle by, the vernacular and velocity of the city.
		Partly by his own sympathies and partly through his long friendship with dance critic and poet Edwin Denby, he was deeply connected with the New York poets, who would appear in Burckhardt's filmed skits and improvisations.
