		John Ciardi traces the illustrious history of his own last name, from its roots as a German surname through Longbeard detours, twisted with a sound shift or two.
		Poet and semantic swordsman John Ciardi resurrects another expression from the vaults of time and memory -- "to fight like Kilkenny cats" -- and applies this dueling simile to a word whose history is not as harmonious as it seems.

	Review of Limericks: Too Gross (w/John Ciardi)
		Ciardi, of course, is a poet, world authority on and pemier translator of Dante, teacher, critic, and formidable manufacturer and weilder of the word-weapon.
		Ciardi took the bait, and Asimov shortly received a typescript of 144 (one gross) of bawdy limericks and an invitation (or challenge?) to add another gross.
		Ciardi is also the better poet—one has to spend a fair amount of time reading and rereading some of Asimov’s limericks even to get them to scan.

		Ciardi's drive to build a solid publishing record while he struggled to maintain himself as a college teacher was interrupted by his tour of military duty in the Air Corps..
		Ciardi might have worked through the contradictions involved by contrasting that judgment against his concern about reviewers judging his poetry to be "heavily Italo-American." Had he done so, he might have concluded that he was writing valid poetry to express valid and useful views of the world.

		From Twenty Books of Verse published between 1940 and 1993, John Ciardi gives us poems of love written with care and honest discernment; poems of the natural world that reveal humanity's kinship to spiders and nebulae, oceans and thickets; and poems that tellingly render the ritual dance of human life and mortality.

		As this diligently detailed biography shows, though Ciardi (who died in 1986) never got his long-hoped-for Pulitzer or a mandatory place in the anthologies, he compensated with a career that was lengthy, varied, and industrious--not to mention profitable.
		Ciardi, who became one of America's wealthier men of letters, was born in 1916 to an immigrant Italian family whose modest means were further diminished by his father's early death.
		Cifelli omits nothing in tracing the arc of Ciardi's life in letters, even noting the later dips, such as the negligible reception of his personal favorite among his books, Lives of X, and his ouster at Bread Loaf in 1972.

		Ciardi, the winner of many awards and honors and a highly esteemed translator of Dante, was one of America's premier modern poets of the latter half of this century.
		In it we find testimony to Ciardi's desire to achieve not "a voice," a style formed to forward an author's individuality, but "voice"?one that is determined by the externals the poet addresses.
		If there is "a voice" present in Ciardi's work, it does not appear in any single poem but in what he calls the "total poem of all the others put together...his personality." Highly recommended for all libraries.?Thomas F. Merrill, Univ. of Delaware, Newark
