		In the philosophy of mathematics a formalist is a person who belongs to the school of formalism, a certain mathematical-philosophical doctrine which includes for example David Hilbert.
		Formalist poets may be considered as the opposite of 'Free Verse' poets, though of course these are just labels, and rarely sum up matters satisfactorily.
		In film studies, formalism is a trait in filmmaking, which overtly uses the language of film, such as editing, shot composition, camera movement, set design, etc., so as to emphasise the artificiality of the film experience.

	EP&M Online Critical Essay
		Formalist poets with careerist ambitions will be terrified of offending these powerful people in any important way--hence the almost irresistible impulse among many of them to disguise their work, and to make it as superficially like free verse as possible.
		For formalists, the split-level line and the uncapitalized first word are comparable to the practice of some fl persons in past decades who used various chemical agents to straighten their hair, or to bleach their skin.
		By advancing it, such poets are rhetorically aligning themselves with "modernity" (as if conforming to one's contemporaries had a prescriptive claim to respect), while at the same time deflecting attention from the main point, which is the gratuitousness and ugliness of the innovations.

	Artful Dodge - Original Interviews - Gregory Orr
		A poet who has notedly and exclusively worked in free verse, he now has a sequence of poems in one of the stricter forms imaginable: the villanelle.
		Indeed, if many poets are noticeably reluctant to delve too far into criticism, Orr has demonstrated criticism's redeeming (and human) qualities, giving poets working out of a wide range of traditions new vocabularies with which to interact with poems-in ways that don't inhibit conversation but rather fosters it.
		Poets are weird, and poetry is weird, only as long as it's made weird.

	Anthony Hecht; formalist poet; 81 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Anthony Hecht, an accomplished formalist poet whose early work of courtliness and urbanity gave way to searing chronicles of the 20th century's terrors, died Oct. 20 at his home in Washington.
		The poet and critic J.D. McClatchy wrote that a Hecht poem was something more than "ravishingly beautiful stanzas." "His is a responsible art, an art that responds to history, to its political and domestic tragedies and persistent problems," he said.
		He immediately informed his parents that he had decided to become a poet; alarmed, they told him to seek the advice of Theodor Geisel, a family friend who was better known to the world as Dr. Seuss.

		He is not a philosophical poet, in that readers cannot look at his poetry for the articulation of an original and comprehensive view of life in the way that they turn to the verse of Wordsworth, say, or Yeats.
		Both poets wrote extensively in loose iambics in which there are so many inversions and extra unstressed syllables that the lines seem to float gracefully on their own cadences.
		It is one of the oddities of literary history that a poet from the United States in the 20th century and early part of the 21st should turn to this stream of English verse which, one might think, had little to offer an age filled with horrors.

	The Sheila Variations: Anthony Hecht, RIP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		What’s more, if form and subject matter may be seen as complementary and interdependent, the opposite point better characterizes his work: Hecht may be the foremost “matterist” of his age, a feat more brilliant and difficult, in the end, than the mastery of traditional forms that he so abundantly displays.
		Hecht is often lumped in with the category "Poets of World War II" (I think he's even included in a book on the subject) - and judging from his dark and terrified subject-matter, dealing with the horrors at the heart of the Holocaust, it seems very a propos.
		Hecht has always been a difficult poet for me to take, precisely because of his subject matter of human cruelty and the precision with which he can describe it.

	the Tribe of John Ashbery and Contemporary Poetry
		It is a mark of Ashbery's pervasive presence that so many of the poets he included in The Best American Poetry, i988, which reprinted the hundred poems of the year that Ashbery most liked, sound like him, orthat is-like one of him.
		More than any other critic, Vendler has introduced and fought for Ashbery as a public poet, one who should be widely read as a barometer of contemporary language and "the moral life." But the problem with her strategy is that it is every bit as idiosyncratic as she conceives Ashbery to be.
		While most of the essays are not New Critical in their method, they treat the poet himself as a well-wrought urn, reading him, like the good New Critical poem, only on "his own" terms.

	"New Formalist" vs. "Expansive" article by Caleb Murdock
		I received an e-mail from Wade Newman telling me that "New Formalist" is a subcategory of "Expansive", and that the two terms are not meant to be competitive (the Expansive category also includes metered narrative verse in addition to New Formalist verse, which is metered lyrical verse).
		Even if it is true that "New Formalist" and "Expansive" are not opposing terms, that doesn't change the fact that "Expansive" is a poorly conceived label for a poetry movement (for all the reasons given).
		Labels and categories can only serve to restrict any poet who pays attention to them, even when the category is meant to be unconfining.
