 Anthony Hecht at 80 (9.29.03)
Hecht dreamed about the camp, waking up screaming." Because of Hecht's ability to speak some German and French, he was assigned to translate the survivors' accounts of the atrocities that took place in the camp.
Hecht wrote about the Holocaust and WWII in poems that include "The Book of Yolek," a sestina haunted by the ghost of a young boy, which focuses on the fate of a group of Warsaw Ghetto orphans; and "Sacrifice," a poem that replays the Abraham and Isaac story in a French village in 1945.
Hecht is a formalist who usually writes in rhyme and meter, but many poets feel that this categorization does not do justice to the vernacular ease and musicality of his language.

Harold Hecht's "The Way West" is a handsomely photographed account of a picaresque journey along the Oregon Trail, but somehow I don't think it was supposed to be.
It's all very promising material, but Hecht and director Andrew McLaglen bury it in a panorama of scenery and stock Western clichés (men have a fist-fight to see who will cross a river first).
