	Online NewsHour: Gerald Stern -- November 23, 1998
		GERALD STERN: When I was - I don't know - I always - when I was in high school and in the army and in college, I was always writing poetry, and I thought everybody was writing poetry.
		GERALD STERN: Well, that's, of course, the old allegory, medieval allegory of the race between the hare and the turtle, and the turtle is slow, and the hare is fast, and ultimately, the turtle wins, because he's steadfast and determined, while the hare is loafing and sleeping and enjoying himself.
		GERALD STERN: The poem is a little complicated but I'm not going to get into a deep explanation to use our time up, because it also involves Charles Lindbergh, who's been in the news later, and there's a kind of negative attitude towards him.

	'American Sonnets' by Gerald Stern
		Stern is a poet with an eye forever focused on the natural world, and it is not always the neat, manicured world of gardens and hydrangeas.
		What Stern chooses to fill in the gaps created by these insistent repetitions --which could spiral into tedium in the work of a lesser poet -- are the uncertain ruminations of a poet struggling with universal questions of guilt, compassion, mortality.
		Stern includes the reader as he gropes for the clues to the large questions; he doesn’t claim to have the answers or the explanations.

	'This Time: New and Selected Poems' by Gerald Stern
		Gerald Stern’s retrospective book, which earned him the National Book Award for Poetry this year, gathers a majority of his work from his nine previous collections.
		Readers new to Stern’s work may be dazzled by the wealth of allusion, the range of imagery and the many moods of this changeable persona.
		Stern writes that Amos “hated coldness, accommodation, extortion, oppression and roared in the grapes and melted mountains.” These poems melt mountains: mountains of hatred and prejudice in the human heart.

	New York State Writers Institute - Gerald Stern (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Stern has often been compared to Walt Whitman and Keats for his exploration of the self and the sometimes ecstatic exuberance of his verse.
		Yet in Stern's devoted evocations of the abandoned, the ruined and the fallen, the oracular urgency of his voice is often tempered by a heightened sensibility to the ironies of existence, placing him apart from predecessors and contemporaries alike.
		As poet Hayden Carruth has observed: "It is extremely difficult to bring off the kind of poem Stern writes, doomsday among the tricycles and kittens.

		Stern loves poetry, not for its deftness or technical structure but its ability to transmit the deepest human emotions, "passion, anger, love, justice and fear."

		For those already satiated with reading, there's even a real audio interview, with the added advantage of getting to hear Stern read two of his poems, a real treat for those of us who believe that all poetry really has to be heard to be fully appreciated.

		Gerald Stern is often compared to Walt Whitman, and his verse does possess a similar oracular urgency.
		In his most moving poems, Stern witnesses this destruction of beauty and learns or resolves or forgets to take it on the chin.
		What does it mean one life/ only?" The greatest joy here lies in the excellence of Stern's longer sentences, which recall Whitman in their life-like pulse and flow, in their subtle verbal patternings that submerge rhetorical artifice beneath the breath of actual speech.

		Stern (Paradise Poems, LJ 8/84; Lovesick, LJ 9/1/87) goes on an unending quest to understand the kalei doscopic mystery of individual experience: the beloved woman he did not marry, the search for justice, the mo ments of intense joy from nature and books, the sadness of life.
		His America is populated less by cultural landmarks than by grief and loss: "in America, all that richness, all that Utopia, wasted"; in rotting Lambertville, New Jersey, people walk "past abandoned factories and wooden garages/.
