		Laughlin: yes, I think there is a great difference, in that when the poet is reading you get the whole personality of the person, especially if he's a good reader.
		Laughlin: That's hard to answer, because for each person there are things in a poem which strike fire, which catch on, which have a special meaning.
		Laughlin: Oh, it's hard not reading the languages, it's hard to say, but I would say that of course the chief big thing that has happened in the last twenty years is the influx of translations from Latin America.

		Nearly thirty years of rich correspondence documents this strong literary and personal relationship and traces the remarkable development of Merton's vision: from an early focus on matters internal and religious, to a tremendous world view encompassing issues of race, politics, war, and the spiritual decay of modern society.

	Amazon.com: The Collected Poems of James Laughlin: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Perhaps because of this, Laughlin's poetry did not grow far beyond a core of love poems marked by their conventionality and an assortment of verses written, so it seems, as daily sketches by an interested amateur.
		Laughlin, the founder of the publishing house New Directions, is also a prolific, accomplished poet in his own right whose sharp, lyrical poems celebrate love and the pleasures (and pain) of living.
		His style is clearly influenced by some of the many poets he has championed and published since the 1940s: from H.D., there's a clean elegance of language; from W. Williams, a down-to-earth directness; and from Pound, a spacious cosmopolitanism and a knack for composing polylingual verses.

		I met James Laughlin (1914-1997) only once, when the legendary founder of New Directions was being honored with a special lifetime achievement award by the National Book Critics Circle.
		Like many others of a literary bent, I had bought and carried around James Laughlin's books all my adult life, for New Directions wasn't just another publishing house, it was the outward and visible sign of one's man taste and artistic convictions.
		Given the authors he championed, it shouldn't be surprising that Laughlin's memoirs are somewhat unconventional.
