	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Riding=s literary persona was public and performative: as poet, critic, publisher of books and journals, modern woman (she scandalized many with her menage B trois arrangement with Graves and his wife, painter Nancy Nicholson) and, eventually, art-martyr, with her renunciation of poetry in the early 1940's.
		Riding=s search for the AI-thing,@ the precise rendering of human consciousness and truth through poetry, extends to her evolving definition of the AI@dentity of the poet, the AI@dentity of poetry, and eventually the AI@dentity of language as a complete system of meanings.
		Riding saw education as part of the poet=s role; however, responsibility was placed upon the reader to come to an understanding of the poems on the poems= terms and not according to conventional standards and forms.

	The New York Review of Books: LAURA (RIDING) JACKSON
		Nathaniel Reichenthal, Laura Riding's father, did not "work for sixteen years in the sweatshops of Manhattan's West Side," her mother was never "the sole means of support for her family of seven," and the reticence toward her husband attributed to Riding during her first marriage is nonsense.
		To characterize Laura Riding's renunciation of poetry as the result of a "conflict of flesh and mind" is oversimplification.
		Laura Riding wrote in 1930: "Art indeed is a term referring to the social source and to the social utility of creative acts.

	[minstrels] The World and I -- Laura Riding
		This may not even be one of the best Laura Riding poems that I've read, and it's probably also one of her least "difficult".
		Riding was one of those revolutionary and ground-breaking female modernists -- Mina Loy, Djuna Barnes, the more famous Gertrude Stein -- that have somehow still been left in the shadows, as Emily Dickinson was in her time.
		Riding was also far ahead of her time as a philosopher-- her book, The Word "Woman" anticipates Third Wave feminism -- though she refused to let her work be included in anthologies of "women's poetry"-- at a time when the first wave was still finding its feet.

	Fence v.4 n.2 \| Laura Riding
		Poet Laura (Riding) Jackson is probably more famous for her renunciation of poetry than for her writing of it.
		Riding's life as a prophet in the wilderness had become scrupulously, tirelessly political, and the abandonment of poetry was the necessary sacrifice.
		All this was prefigured in the last months of 1929, when, seeking a refuge from scandal and personal turmoil in London, Riding and her then-consort, the British poet-mythographer Robert Graves, withdrew to the peaceful village of Deya on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

		Riding took imperious control of Graves, serving as both lover and mentor, but also freeing Nancy to care for their four children.
		It was history, in fact, that Laura Riding was hell-bent on escaping or subverting--not through suicide, necessarily, but through the rigorous mental and artistic discipline that was expected to lead to eternal verity.
		They see L[aura] as selfish, egotistical and domineering--wishing to possess the entire personality of anyone she likes....L[aura] calls herself 'Finality' whatever that may mean." [II 108] The word that keeps coming to mind is "demonic," and some people even considered her a witch.

	Writing by Jeanne Heuving (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Central to this volume and to understanding (Riding) Jackson's entire career is her concept of the "individual-unreal" or "unreal self," developed in her essay "Jocasta," named for the erased and contaminated mother of the Oedipus myth.
		When the destruction or analysis is accomplished they shall have to account for their necessity; they are the survivors, the result as well as the means of elimination...The greater the clutter attacked and the smaller, the purer, the residue to which it is reduced (the more destructive the tools), the better the poem.
		While some critics have mistakenly seen (Riding) Jackson's emphasis on the mind throughout her work as making her a "philosophical poet," an epithet that (Riding) Jackson herself abjured, importantly her emphasis on the mind is rather on what the mind enacts, its intellectual judgments, and negations.

	The Life and Work of Richard Perceval Graves
		On the contrary, soon after arriving in Rouen he wrote a letter to Laura Riding, explaining that he had left her partly for Robert's sake, and partly for Norah's; and that (although he evidently felt that he had done the right thing) he was now 'terribly terribly unhappy'.
		Laura Riding, faced with the apparent wreckage of her plans, and the permanent loss of Geoffrey, lost control; and Norah later wrote a scathing description of how' "God" in the Public Lounge threw herself on the floor, had hysterics, threw her legs in the air and screamed.
		By her side is a single image of Laura Riding, whose hair had once been cropped close, but who here, in 1928, in the process of stealing Robert away from his wife, has grown her hair long, so that it falls luxuriantly across the breasts between which she flaunts a silver locket containing Nancy's picture.

		Riding was the young woman who took a suicidal leap from a window of Graves' London flat in 1929.
		To explain Laura Riding (1901-1991) is not an easy job, though she spent a great deal of her long life explaining herself; or rather, her selves.
		Laura Reichenthal, Laura Gottschalk, Laura Riding and, for her last 50 years, Laura (Riding) Jackson, were names she successively used, alongside many pseudonyms.

	Laura (Riding) Jackson and Robert Graves
		A poem of this kind is nevertheless able to stave off death by continually revealing, under examination, an unexpected reserve of new riddles; and as long as it is able to supply these it can continue to live as a poem.
		The longest poetic association Riding maintained was her thirteen-year relationship with Robert Graves.
		The book was important in Riding's career because it was an early statement of her tenet that the meaning of each word was the basic structural element of poetry.

	Amazon.com: A Selection of the Poems of Laura Riding: Books: Laura (Riding) Jackson,Robert Nye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Nye shows Riding's intriguing work to best advantage?unlike the poet's own tendentious Selected Poems in Five Sets (Norton) of 1970?and his introductory remarks are a testament to both his friendship with her and his sound critical judgment.
		Riding's exactness and lucidity seem English in flavor and, indeed, England was her home for many years, but she was born Laura Reichenthal in New York in 1901 and died Laura Jackson in Florida in 1991 long after she gave up poetry for prose.
		This sequence of name changes reflects the evolution of Riding's sense of self, and it's no coincidence that the very act of naming, the most fundamental aspect of a poet's work, figures prominently in Riding's radiant poems as part of the mosaic of her thoughts on time, love, beauty, womanhood, and death.

		Because Laura Riding is an immeasurably (and not just because she wrote free verse) more important poet than anyone I've encountered on an electronic discussion board.
		In one, she exemplifies the fate of the "difficult" woman writer: her works are ignored in favor of personality-sniping gossip and her most productive ideas are ignored in favor of a man who stole and distorted them.
		Riding positioned "A Crown for Hans Andersen" proud and isolate at the pinnacle of her progress of stories, probably because it's the least conventionally fictive narrative in the book.

		Douglas Day has written that the "influence of Laura Riding is quite possibly the most important single element in [Graves's] poetic career: she persuaded him to curb his digressiveness and his rambling philosophizing and to concentrate instead on terse, ironic poems written on personal themes."
		In 1939, Laura Riding left Graves for the writer Schuyler Jackson; one year later Graves began a relationship with Beryl Hodge that was to last until his death.
		It was in the 1940s, after his break with Riding, that Graves formulated his personal mythology of the White Goddess.

	Jacket 26 - Jeff Hamilton on Robert Duncan and Laura Riding
		Riding and Allen Tate, along with (Brooklyn resident) Hart Crane, were close friends among the Greenwich Village bohemia in the fall 1925.
		So, Riding argued, what Tate describes as a poem’s ‘particular quality’ must be defended as though it were an unreal — as it was on the fall day in 1967 when Duncan wrote ‘Yes, I Care Deeply’ — that is, not subject to foundationalist epistemologies.
		Riding, especially, was passionately engaged by the flaws in this line of inquiry; it ultimately results in her astonishing magnum opus on lexicography, Rational Meaning: A New Foundation for the Definition of Words (Charlottesville: University of Virginia, 1996).
