 Jacket # 7 - Kevin Killian and Lewis Ellingham - Excerpt from "Poet Be Like God"
The clientele had expanded, but the leaders in these meetings remained Spicer and Duncan, magisterial figures though still in their thirties, since all the regular and most of the other members of the Sunday group were in their early twenties.
After a reading by the poets of the Magic Workshop on June 9, 1957, Spicer suggested to Joe Dunn that he found a press to publish this new writing.
Although the younger poets Joe was meeting were not uniformly or even often gay, the great triumvirate were - "and their poems were gay poems." Jack's love for him was no burden; it hardly even touched his consciousness.

 Pablo Neruda - Nobel Lecture
When all is said, there is no individual poet who administers poetry, and if a poet sets himself up to accuse his fellows or if some other poet wastes his life in defending himself against reasonable or unreasonable charges, it is my conviction that only vanity can so mislead us.
For this reason no poet has any considerable enemy other than his own incapacity to make himself understood by the most forgotten and exploited of his contemporaries, and this applies to all epochs and in all countries.
By extending to these extreme consequences the poet's duty, in truth or in error, I determined that my posture within the community and before life should be that of in a humble way taking sides.

 Lee: The Shadow of Christ in the Old Testament: 5
The voice of God was an inland voice; like the voice of man, it had a place where it belonged - the cloud and darkness over a mountain in the wilderness.
His humility before God is but the more beautiful side of his anger with his friends, and his self-abasement before his Maker is the crowning dignity of a self-respect which is one of the epics of the world.
The egotism which is the religion of the little man when he succeeds, the infidelity of the little man when he fails, the "I," which is the essence of littleness, which is the blasphemy alike of creeds and curses and prayers and sneers, met its sublime, eternal, triumphant rebuke in Job.

NEW YORK--Two former U.S. poet laureates Thursday criticized the White House for postponing a literary symposium that it believed would be politicized.
Stanley Kunitz, 2000-2001 poet laureate, and Rita Dove, 1993-95 poet laureate, characterized the decision as an example of the Bush administration's hostility toward dissenting or creative voices.
It was intellectually dishonest and classless for these poets to use the White House forum to blast the President and the Iraqi situation.

The last poem, the envoi, is written in the style of Waller, the poet who wrote for music in the time of merry England, and gathers allusions to the greatest English writers of the past: Waller, Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, all representatives of the better tradition which he had tried to revive.
Pound's Cantos are a sort of journal in verse of the poet's intellectual epic search for meaningful moments in the cultural past.

 little blue light - August Strindberg
Swedish vagabond playwright known for his contributions to the naturalist, symbolist and expressionist theatre, as well as his hatred of the emancipated woman, his interest in science and the occult and his defiant struggles with God for personal justice and salvation.
Supernatural acts, such as Indian gods becoming human and the appearance of ghosts, are common in the expressionist plays.
Strindberg seems to have given little thought to staging his plays because his stage directions are often scant and give little direction on how to produce the effects described.

 Althrough I haven't come preparraed
The present selection of work by a handful of Chilean poets is hardly representative of the wide range of styles and techniques employed by writers up and down their long, thin, and highly-varied land.
Only one of the poets, Francisco Véjar, exemplifies a more romantic tradition that has always existed in Chilean poetry and perhaps has drawn its inspiration most fully in recent times from the work of Jorge Teiller, who, like Neruda and Parra, was a product of the country's rainy southern region.
The younger poets of Chile have been deeply affected by Nicanor Parra's irreverent manner and his willingness to speak on any subject, especially through the most mundane objects or activities.

Baranda is another of the startling group of women poets to have emerged in Mexico in the past twenty years.
This poet should need no introduction to anyone; there are cheaper editions in paperback with other publishers which I'm unable to comment upon; in fact I don't have this particular volume, but by all accounts it is the most up-to-date, corrected text and costs about €35.
Of course, there's nothing to be had in the UK, a country that the poet had little time for, on a political level.

He was known as Mad Carew by the subs of Khatmandu, He was hotter than they felt inclined to tell; But for all his foolish pranks, he was worshiped in the ranks, And the Colonel's daughter smiled on him as well.
She upbraided poor Carew in the way that women do, Though both her eyes were strangely hot and wet; But she wouldn't take the stone, and Mad Carew was left alone With the jewel that he'd chanced his life to get.
When the ball was at its height, on that still and tropic night, She thought of him and hastened to his room; As she crossed the barrack square she could hear the dreamy air Of a waltz tune softly stealing through the gloom.

 Pablo Neruda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
I have often maintained that the best poet is he who prepares our daily bread: the nearest baker who does not imagine himself to be a god.
He does his majestic and unpretentious work of kneading the dough, consigning it to the oven, baking it in golden colours and handing us our daily bread as a duty of fellowship.
And, if the poet succeeds in achieving this simple consciousness, this too will be transformed into an element in an immense activity, in a simple or complicated structure which constitutes the building of a community, the changing of the conditions which surround mankind, the handing over of mankind's products: bread, truth, wine, dreams.

Lucila Godoy y Alcayaga was born April 7, 1889 in a dirt–floored house in the little town of Vicuña, in the clear mountain valley of the Elqui, three hundred miles north of Santiago.
A magnificent teacher and already a nationally–known poet, Lucila Godoy was named Inspector of Schools in a succession of remote posts, in 1918 in Punta Arenas by the Straits of Magellan, and in 1920 in Temuco, where a 16–year–old high–school boy brought her his first verses, signed Neftalí Reyes.
Oscar Hahn (born 1939) is one of the few poets identified with the arid north coast of Chile.
