	Fanny Howe
		Howe raises questions to which she does not purport to have the answers.
		Howe, intentionally or not, is teaching us how to read her work; we must approach these poems with the desire for conclusiveness without any expectation of conclusions.
		Howe demonstrates what she can do with a longer poem in part VIII of the section entitled "The Passion." While she has mastered the art of wringing a great deal of resonance from a few words, with more breath (and breadth), Howe is able to slowly set a scene and then refigure it.

	The Quietist
		In this light, Howe’s poetry may be seen as the modern inception of a medieval poetic and philosophical tradition in which Eros is an agent of inspiration that drives the poet and the poem deeper into metaphysical contemplations.
		The Quietist is an extension of Howe’s desire for justice, social equality, and love...meditat[ing] upon the metaphysical aspects of existence manifest in the relationship of spirit and divine transcendence.
		Fanny Howe writes with the conviction that in order for the Word to be revealed it must first be a word, one fired in the crucible of social action and tenuous intimacies.

		This collection's introduction (an essay in and of itself) finds Fanny Howe providing an auto/biographical context for the pieces that follow, highlighting the importance of her experiences living in and around Boston during the seventies.
		For Howe, bewilderment is not a state of mind from which she wishes herself released.
		Though Howe does not mark out a strict dichotomy between the two, she does find evidence of Stein’s transformation--a change that Howe sees manifest in her relationship with language and symbolically represented by the bridal ceremony by which Carmelites enter their order.

		Howe may be best known as a poet, but it is her fiction -- elliptical, richly emotional, and mostly out of print -- that makes it clear just how impossible it was to inhabit the no-man's land in which she found herself.
		Her father, Mark DeWolfe Howe, was a distinguished law professor at Harvard and a civil rights activist, and her mother, Mary Manning, an Irish-born playwright and actress who founded the Poets' Theater in Cambridge.
		In the mid-'60s Howe volunteered to seek out housing violations for the Boston chapter of the Congress on Racial Equality; one of her colleagues was school-reform activist Jonathan Kozol.

	"The Clarity of Fanny Howe's Debut" by Kimberly Lamm
		Therefore, the grave uncertainty Howe faces and wrestles with in her work is all the more frightening because it is not recoverable; it is the suffering of being that does not cease.
		The doubt Howe explores is not skepticism; it is an experience of uncertainty at the heart of belief: an uncertainty that inspires a restless and continual pursuit of the contradictions at the heart of language.
		Howe doesn't sharpen or polish her language into a textual mirror that will reflect herself; she polishes words and sentences until their depths and surfaces gleam with the image of another's gaze, revealing with clarity the reality of another's suffering.

	Jacket 28 - October 2005 - Fanny Howe in conversation with Leonard Schwartz
		Fanny Howe: I’ve just spent four years translating poetry that she and her sister — her name is Ilona Karmel and her sister is Henia Karmel — wrote.
		Fanny Howe: Well, many people did study with her at MIT, but they all seemed to understand as I did that there was something more than the usual academic relationship going on between her and them.
		Fanny Howe: Well I think the thing is that a woman’s experience — let’s say a mother’s experience, I don’t want to categorize it completely by gender — but I think the experience of being both a womb and a tomb as you’re walking around is pretty intense and heart changing.

	Gone
		"Howe's new volume is a double-edged sword: in it she creates beauty and questions it, pursues faith and lives with doubt, finds love and finds hate there waiting.
		The New York Times Book Review said, "Howe has made a long-term project of trying to determine how we fit into God's world, and her aim is both true and marvelously free of sentimental piety." With Gone, readers will have the opportunity to experience firsthand Howe's continuation of that elusive and fascinating endeavor.
		Fanny Howe is Professor Emeritus of Writing and Literature at the University of California, San Diego.

	Register of Susan Howe Papers - MSS 0201
		Howe was one of five American poets at the Rencontres Internationales de Poésie Contemporaine in Tarascon, France, 1988, as well as a Butler fellow in the Department of English at SUNY, Buffalo, also in 1988.
		While Howe has continued to produce books of poetry and literary-historical criticism, her work crosses the boundaries of genres: her poetry stems from her archival research in literary history, while her literary scholarship is poetic and personal.
		Howe labeled some of these folders as "Outtakes," and so it is probably that she produced much of this material concurrently with materials which made it into various published works.

		Fanny Howe's Selected Poems, drawn from nine of her more than 20 books, provides an introduction to one of our most vital, unclassifiable writers.
		While Howe has sustained herself through independent poetry communities and institutions scattered along the coasts, Madeline Gleason—like so many marginalized through the rubric of aesthetics, gender, or some other category—has dropped off the map.

		Fanny Howe is the author of over twenty books of poetry and prose, including Gone, Selected Poems, One Crossed Out, and a collection of essays, The Wedding Dress.
		“Fanny Howe employs a sometimes fierce, always passionate, spareness in her lifelong parsing of the exchange between matter and spirit.
		Her work displays as well a political urgency, that is to say, a profound concern for social justice and for the soundness and fate of the polis, the ‘city on a hill.’ Writes Emerson, ‘The poet is the sayer, the namer, and represents beauty.’ Here’s the luminous and incontrovertible proof.”

		Guiding these characters on their journey are figures as divergent as Nietzsche and Bambi, Marx and St. John of the Cross.
		The things Fanny Howe can do with words are seemingly limitless, and there is immense pleasure to be had in the reading.
