	Lorine Niedecker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lorine Niedecker (May 12, 1903 - December 31, 1970) was born on the Black Hawk Island near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.
		Niedecker grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of the river until she moved to Fork Atkinson to attend school.
		Niedecker's earliest poetry was marked by her reading of the Imagists, whose work she greatly admired and of surrealism.

	The Middle Distance - Lorine Niedecker's Collected Works, review by Andrea Brady (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Niedecker lived very much in the middle of things both natural and social, moving from the flowers and creatures of her own acutely observed, accurately named biosphere, to the effects of war, capital, poverty, and gender relations which impacted it.
		In addition to retrieving Niedecker's prose poems and radio plays, she reproduces each sequence and book in its entirety (even when that entails reprinting individual poems), ensuring the integrity of the sequences in all the phases of their development.
		Niedecker's poetry often depends on the return of a melodic burden, on the molting of particular phrases and dashes; the (occasionally distracting) reprinting points the reader's attention to these arcs, developments, and displacements.

	Lorine Niedecker--Wisconsin Poet
		Lorine Niedecker lived most of her life in a remote part of Wisconsin, on the Black Hawk Island of the turbulent Rock River near Fort Atkinson, Her father made his living seining carp out of Lake Koshkonong and tending bar.
		In her early years as a poet, Lorine Niedecker was concerned with two issues: capturing the simple rhythms of American speech and capturing the complexity implicit in life's simplicity.
		Niedecker is an interesting figure on the poetic stage because of her changes of poetic style from the 30's to the 60's and because of her direct affiliation with several poets in the Modernist movement of the 30's and 40's.

		Lorine Niedecker was born on May 12, 1903 and lived most of her life along the banks of the Rock River near Fort Atkinson.
		Niedecker was qualified to work as an editor or proofreader, but was unable to hold down such jobs due to the poor eyesight she inherited from her mother.
		Lorine Niedecker wrote predominantly about the things around her, including her neighbors, family and nature, and described her work as "condensery." Because of her sparse language and vivid imagery, she has been compared to William Carlos Williams and early Chinese and Japanese poets.

		Niedecker is one of the most important poets of her generation and an essential member of the Objectivist circle.
		Niedecker was also a major woman poet who interrogated issues of gender, domesticity, work, marriage, and sexual politics long before the modern feminist movement.
		Niedecker's lyric voice is one of the most subtle and sensuous of the twentieth century.

	"The Valence of Fragments" by Karl Young
		Lorine Niedecker's birthplace, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, is located on the Great Eastern Divide of the North American land mass, a hinge between the two immense water systems, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence and the Mississippi Basins.
		Niedecker is a poet of such economy and precision that no words she uses should be seen simply as fitting a convention, acting as a label, or functioning as decoration.
		Niedecker did not like to read her poetry aloud, and never gave a public reading in her life - an odd decision for a poet whose skill at sonic development was so magnificent and whose work depends so thoroughly on sound.

		The 60s was the era of Niedecker's renaissance, too; it was the period of nearly all her book publications, the repeated re-editing and re-arrangement of her poems, and the development of her longer serial works.
		Poetically speaking Niedecker arose, by her own account, with her discovery of the objectivist issue of Poetry in 1931, the hundredth anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley's revised Frankenstein and the year in which it was released as a major motion picture in the US.
		Niedecker's American gothic treatment of gender and marriage also resurfaces in the poem "I married" in which the coffin-like claustrophobia of the semantic box where the couple lies together is reiterated at the end of the poem by the suggestion that the speaker has become-or sees herself as-a zombie, undead:

		Poet Lorine Niedecker was born in 1903 into the remote sounds and silences of Black Hawk Island, Wisconsin.
		Married briefly when she was young, Niedecker worked as a library assistant, proofreader, and finally a "kitchen cleaner" at a local hospital until her second marriage at the age of 60 to Al Millen, a house painter from Milwaukee, allowed her to quit working.
		Zukofsky refused Niedecker's request for a preface to the collection, but there is no evidence that such a preface would have increased her chances of finding a publisher.

	Old Sunflower, You Bowed to No One: Poet Lorine Niedecker \| Jeffery Beam \| Fall 2003 \| Oyster Boy Review 17
		Although it was only in Lorine's later life that she was able to verbalize her intents, it's apparent, even in her early work, that her talent as a poet, her native intelligence, was to write a poetry in which the movement between seemingly unrelated objects reveals oneness and verity.
		Niedecker viewed folk speech and folk mentality as springing from an unconscious response to the world—her mother's "down-to-earth magic." She once described poetry as "the folk tales of the mind and us creating our own remembering." Her resistance to pure Objectivism was necessitated by her belief in folk energies, including Mother Goose.
		Lorine claimed she "literally went to school to William Carlos Williams and Louis Zukofsky." The Zukofsky/Niedecker story is complicated and central to her life.

		Niedecker appreciates the creative force of stagnant water, often citing the marshy region as a birthplace not only for herself and her mother (for which it was an actual birthplace) but also for everyman and plants.
		Comparing her mother to the thorn apple bush and her father to a catalpa tree, Niedecker seems to maintain a standard metaphor: the "like" or "as" is missing from these would-be similes.
		Niedecker's own imagery is not arranged in such a binary fashion that man is always dry/high/tree/machine and woman always wet/low/marsh/water/home; in fact, these associations are often entirely reversed.

	Dear Lorine \| David Preece \| Fall 2003 \| Oyster Boy Review 17
		This new edition of Lorine Niedecker's writings will be appreciated by those who enjoy her poetry for many reasons.
		Niedecker was a reclusive writer, hardly published during her lifetime.
		Niedecker the Objectivist is here in abundance; but also present are the early writings of Niedecker the surrealist, Niedecker the socialist, and in the extraordinary "Next year or I Fly My Rounds Tempestuous," Niedecker the creator of artists' books.

	A little too little: Re-reading Lorine Niedecker by Jenny Penberthy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Niedecker's surrealism was not a poetics of the image of dream and hallucination but a pursuit of the non-expressive, a shift beyond the personal, lyric voice towards a patterning of sound and rhythm.
		Buoyed by the sudden interest from a publisher, Niedecker began to think of herself as a folk poet and she made the sad and resigned comment to Jonathan Williams that her folk poetry may be her only claim to difference between herself and other poets.
		At about the time of George Oppen's comment about Niedecker's tiny work, she was engaged in researching the poem that would be called "Lake Superior." Her notes for the poem number close to 300 typed pages; the poem itself is condensed to five.

		The celebration's goal is "to let as many people know about Lorine Niedecker, her life and especially her writing as possible," said Anne Kingsbury, executive director of Woodland Pattern Book Center.
		Kingsbury points out that Niedecker is on the Central Library's wall of Wisconsin writers, and that Niedecker's poem "Traces of Living Things" is mounted on a wall of the Midwest Airlines Center, near the ballroom where writers Ondaatje and Waldman will read Friday night.
		But Niedecker's posthumous "Collected Works" (University of California Press, 2002), edited by Jenny Penberthy, a key centennial conference presenter, has led to a re-evaluation and surge of interest in her work.

		Far away from the mainstream literary world, supporting herself with such jobs as hospital floor-washer, Niedecker (1903-'70) created a powerful body of poetry that often reflected the marshy Black Hawk Island where she lived.
		Special guests include Cid Corman, a poet, publisher and longtime Niedecker friend; Michael Ondaatje, a novelist ("The English Patient"), poet and filmmaker; and Anne Waldman, a popular poet and performer who's associated with both the Beats and the New York School poets.
		In the October issue of The Writer magazine, Patrick Moran credits Niedecker's long residence on Black Hawk Island and close attention to its sights and sounds for some of the power of her poetry.
