	[minstrels] Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird -- Wallace Stevens
		The 'youthful' [2] exuberance evident in his first collection of poems, 1923's "Harmonium", lends his early verse a vitality (and a strong sense of the unexpected) that I feel is somewhat lacking in his later output.
		Harmonium (1923), his first book, sold fewer than 100 copies but received some favourable critical notices; it was reissued in 1931 and in 1947.
		Harmonium also contained "Sea Surface Full of Clouds," in which waves are described in terms of such unlikely equivalents as umbrellas, French phrases, and varieties of chocolate, and "The Comedian as the Letter C," in which he examines the relation of the poet, or man of imagination, to society.

	On "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird"
		This poetry will be one of inflection and innuendo; the inflections are the heard melodies (the whistling of the flbird) and the innuendoes are what is left out (the silence just after the whistling) …
		On the level of the metaphors, there is an impossible choice between poetry itself and its resonance in the mind.
		Poetry comes from a voice about to sing, Valery said, and Stevens's verse rises out of flbirds soon to fly.

	Amazon.ca: Harmonium/Choruses From Death: Music: John Adams,Lyon Opera Orchestra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Harmonium came out in 1984 on an ECM disc, played by the same ensemble but under the direction of Edo de Waart, with whom Adams developed a fruitful working relationship in the late 1970s.
		Both can be found in the John Adams Earbox, the sort of collection that the label has already lavished on Steve Reich.
		Like the Nonesuch recording of Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach, the new Harmonium has been lovingly performed, but necessarily lacks something of the brazenness, the unexpected quality of the earlier one, the sense of having to prove itself.

	Ivor Cutler - Biography - AOL Music
		Cutler studied painting and sculpture in London in the 1950s, but took to songwriting and poetry in the latter part of the decade, largely because they seemed more likely to help support his growing family.
		Ludo, however, was not a big seller, and Cutler returned to his usual radio sessions and poetry readings for the next several years.
		In 1973, Cutler appeared on Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom, adding harmonium and recitations to the tracks "Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road" and "Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road." His performances on this album were so striking that Wyatt's label, Virgin Records, signed Cutler to a multi-album deal.

	POETRY AND THE PRACTICE OF LAW
		The poetry of the stock phrase in an answer to a complaint -- "Defendant is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the matter, and, therefore, denies the same" -- is less apparent.
		His strongest yearning in poetry was to make his imagined world as real (or unreal) as the everyday world, including the world of his work and professional career.
		Both poetry and the law involve the effort to move from the objective to the subjective -- from fact to feeling -- from observation to intuition.

	Haiku
		You've heard Robert Frost's saying poetry without rules is like a tennis match without a net and it is true also for haiku.
		Living this somewhat solitary life, he spent time with various members of his family until he was thirteen years of age, at which time his father decided to kick him out into the world, and he walked to old Yedo, which is now Tokyo.
		I admit to finding most interesting the writing of persons, either Japanese or non-Japanese, who allow themselves to write as poets drawing on the devices of poetry and who are able to transfer ALL the previous poetic techniques into new forms inspired by the visions of poets of many cultures.

	Chapter Two; Part 1
		I believe that the nothing that the listener beholds and the something that the listener hears can be understood as the discourse of the Other, and when Stevens portrays different voices in his poetry, he is portraying what he hears when he (as the narrator of the poems) listens to the discourse of the Other.
		Indeed, Stevens closes his Collected Poems (in "Not Ideas about the Thing but the Thing Itself") with the imagery of birds and the choiring trope, suggesting that the sound heard is the Other speaking, although even at the end, it is [s]till far away...
		Stevens’ poetry is at once so broadly intertextual, yes so private; at once so universal, yet so particular that it simply comes to belong to those who would have it.

	Poetry
		Taylor's poetry, which resembles that of such English metaphysicals as George Herbert and John Donne, was written for private purposes between 1682 and 1725 and did not appear in print until 1937.
		Among the poets published in the early issues of Poetry were Carl Sandburg, Vachel Lindsay, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Edgar Lee Masters, Sara Teasdale, and Elinor Wylie--all minor figures, to be sure, but notable for their contributions, either in theme or technique, to the flowering of modernism.
		In oft-quoted essays he argued that poetry should be impersonal and that it necessarily existed in a self-referential world--ideas that had a profound impact on the so-called New Critics and, hence, on the way poetry was taught for many years in American universities.

	Williams' Life and Career--by M. L. Rosenthal and Linda Wagner-Martin
		In 1944 he published a poetry collection, The Wedge, in which the anguish of his own weariness with trying to combine the careers of a literary man and a physician was evident.
		By concentrating on the dailiness of the poet's experience, using idiomatic language and the rhythms of speech in his poetry, Williams forced readers to see that their lives were poetic.
		Controversy over his being named consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress--because of his own supposed associations with communism and his friendship with Ezra Pound, who had broadcast for the Fascists during World War II--led to his hospitalization for depression during part of 1953.

	Last look at Ginsberg
		As he promised, repeating the words "And all the hills echoed" produced the effect of a mantra; the spirit of poetry infused the room's occupants and rose to fill the dome of the venerable ex-library.
		Part poetry reading, teach-in, love fest, sing-along and happening, the evening reminded that Ginsberg is the true originator of performance poetry, a pioneer of the medium widely practiced by Chicagoans.
		Playing along with himself on harmonium, he attacked the blatant hypocrisy of Reagan/Bush policies toward Latin America in a snazzy, sarcastic poem titled "N.S.A Dope Calypso." However, despite its right thinking, caustic humor and energetic presentation, this poem enjoyed a rather tepid response from the audience.

		It is my contention that Stevens wrote Harmonium while steeped in modern art and it's theoretical underpinnings and that the poems contained in his first book of poetry reflect certain modern visual sources.
		Again, though, as I would argue is characteristic of Stevens' "painterly" poems in Harmonium, he merely use the technique for poetic purposes, for the poem does not end solidified or still, as a painting.
		Duchamp's readymades, which were to premiere after his decision to discontinue painting for life (a move still noted in the history of modern art), challenged the very assumptions about and definitions of art that people held at the time.

		The project was a success on many levels; the combination of Allen's baritone voice and remarkable musicians exploring a body of poetry written over 35 years resulted in highly individual tracks, which in turn developed into an album that takes the listener on a fascinating journey.
		We were on stage with a gang of musician friends, and Peter improvised, singing, "You shouldn't write poetry down but carol it in the air, because to use paper you have to cut down trees." I picked up on that, and we spent a half an hour making up tuneful words on the spot.
