 About Anthony Hecht
The work of Anthony Hecht shatters the cosy notion that a fragmented, fractured age should be reflected in the forms of its art, that ugliness and shapelessness demand payment in kind.
In the latter poem Hecht goes further towards confronting the Holocaust than perhaps any other English-language poet.
The Horatian range and dexterity of Hecht's lines also allow some happy ventures into comedy ('The Ghost in the Martini') and current affairs ('Black Boy in the Dark'), always anchored on the twin foundations of the poet's historical awareness and his generous, embracing intelligence.

 washingtonpost.com: At Hecht's, Tradition Comes Up Short   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Hecht's, which had been acquired by the May Department Store Co. in 1959, survived for another decade as the last of the Washington area's homegrown department store brands.
While Hecht's may survive inside the combined company, the deal demonstrates the chain's failure, along with all of its corporate siblings within May, to find a niche at a time when its competitors were becoming steadily more precise at identifying and selling to specific groups of customers.
Though May's acquisitions, whether Hecht's in Washington or Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh, largely kept their separate identity and management, the expanded company was able to increase its marketing clout and reduce costs.

 The Life of a Poet: A Conversation with Anthony Hecht
Hecht: Well, Keats--whom I’ve been thinking about a great deal recently because I’ve written a long lecture about him--says with regard to King Lear that Shakespeare is able to reconcile and present everything that is disagreeable because he puts it in a context of beauty and truth.
Hecht: I don’t know whether that is true or not, but, as you probably know, John Ashbery began by writing art criticism when he was living in Paris.
Hecht: Ruskin is interesting on the subject, because he does claim, at times, that the task of seeing and seeing accurately is almost the most important act that a human being can perform in life.

 Ben Hecht's Funny Valentine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Hecht, a screenwriter with and without credit, and script masseur for most of the major studios, contracted with a respectably poor relation – gaunt, grey Republic Studios – for (for him) a near-poverty-level $20,000 and 50 percent of the profits.
Hecht bestowed on her the sceptre (cane) and robe (knitted shawl) of Maria Ouspenskaya, who laid down the law of ballet to Vivien Leigh in Waterloo Bridge (1940).
I believe that the story represents Hecht acknowledging the possibility of art as enormity; as something potentially overbearing and overreaching, beyond the tiny borders of craft or contract to which he, Hecht, was accustomed.
