 Donna L. Potts, Howard Nemerov and Objective Idealism: Chapter One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Nemerov strives to depict the inseparability of these two kinds of consciousness; the individual poet's mind can never be separated from the mindfulness in things, nor, obviously, can their inherent mindfulness be recognized but for the poet whose mind mirrors them.
Nemerov's many depictions of the landscape, although they are drawn with a scientific exactitude, emphasize qualities in the natural world that are more often associated with activities that are conventionally regarded as purely "mental" or "abstract," such as writing or music or mathematics.
Nemerov's insistence that language be valued for its capacity to express the intangible aspects of experience is diametrically opposed to the positivist view that words originated merely as signs for external objects, from which their metaphorical meanings were later derived, as a kind of afterthought.

 Donna L. Potts, Howard Nemerov and Objective Idealism: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Nemerov's insistence on maintaining the many connotations of even a single word indicates that he also finds that restoring "true meaning" to language provides the means for ultimately restoring it to life.
Within the four stanzas of Nemerov's poem there is an orderly progression—from sunset to twilight, from porch to self to landscape, from the harvest to the death of vegetation, from descent to ascent—complemented by the regular rhythm of the rocking chair and of the poem itself.
Nemerov's ongoing interest in etymology is evident here, as well as his reliance on the machine as a metaphor for a worldview that denies the value of imagination.

 Howard Nemerov, new selected
People think of Howard Nemerov as a wry commentator on the human condition, an ironist who sees, in Helen Vendler’s words, “the permanence of change, the vices of virtue, the evanescence of solidities, and the errors of truth.” This view is not inaccurate.
But to read Nemerov across a long span of his life, as Daniel Anderson’s Selected Poems enables us to do, is to be impressed, or re-impressed, by Nemerov’s continued visceral response to the things of the world, and in par-ticular to natural objects – rocks, trees, birds, flowers, rain and snow.
If Howard Nemerov did not often strike a chord as close to the people’s soul as did Frost, or as resonant with the professoriate as did Stevens, he nevertheless continues to pierce the hearts not just of other poets, but of all readers who, respecting ambiguity, weigh their words carefully.

Nemerov's work continually returns to the poet's one great theme: the endlessly repeating cycles of Nature, which compel our admiration but refuse our need for meaning.
His stately, elegant verse dwells on both sides of this equation, delighting in appearance and sensation, but always longing for transcendence and permanence.
Yet he always reminds himself, with stoic honesty, that there is no divine signature in nature, which is simply an endless process without direction or result: "This is a natural beauty, it is not/Theology," he writes in "The Loon's Cry." Ultimately, Nemerov's poems explore what it means to be religious in a world without God.
