	Tom Raworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tom Raworth (Thomas Moore Raworth) (born 1938) is a London-born poet and visual artist who has published over 40 books of poetry and prose since 1966.
		Raworth is a key figure in the British Poetry Revival.
		Raworth studied Spanish for a year and then translated the work of Vincente Huidobro and other Latin American poets for his M.A. In the 1970s, he worked in the United States and Mexico, teaching in a number of universities.

	Tom Raworth
		Tom Raworth was born in London in 1938.
		Straight away with the publication of his first volume of lyric poetry Tom Raworth succeeded in achieving a literary breakthrough: 'The Relation Ship' (1966) was awarded the 'Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize', at that time the highest honour in England for lyric poetry.
		Raworth’s creativity is, however, not limited to writing: he has worked intensively with musicians, photographers and painters and set up performances together with other poets.

		Given the many Tom Raworth books currently out-of-print, it is cheering to see this reprint of one of his best collections, Tottering State: Selected Early Poems 1963-1983.
		Raworth does not date these poems or name their original publications, so the desire to read Tottering State as twenty years worth of artistic development is unfortunately hindered.
		His struggle against all forms of mere reproduction (of forms, of presumptions, of expectations) leads him to the "authenticity" of immediately observed scenes and objects, an authenticity he is equally capable of mistrusting.

	All Fours by Tom Raworth - Poetry Archive
		Formally, while Raworth is not often given to familiar forms or full-rhyme, he will often shape his poems with stanzas or structural systems that counterpoint the flow of the poem.
		That flow is a fast one, a stream of images interlinking and resonating off one another; in Raworth's work, it is not the place of the poet to extrapolate intelligible meanings from these for a listener, the speaker in 'Wedding Day' insisting that "i made this pact, intelligence / shall not replace intuition".
		Raworth introduces the CD with a brief preface to his history and style, but not the poems - he finds individual introductions "at worst tedious and at best more interesting than the poems that follow" - and they need none.

	Books \| Seeing through walls
		Raworth was once resident poet at King's College, Cambridge, in which city he still lives.
		However, the appearance of this Collected Poems confirms that over the last 40 years, Raworth (who was born in 1938) has quietly been amassing a considerable and important body of work that can't be so easily labelled or pinned down to one locale.
		Raworth is continually fascinated by signs of the self's dislocation, whether in distorted mirrors, the body or in language.

	Tottering State by Tom Raworth - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		There is also a simplicity, a quirky charm, to Raworth's lines, a blithe felicitous angle that inclines the mind toward unearthing splendid winds and quantum truffles from the most secret and imaginative domain of our being.
		I call it a fabric, a volume of feeling woven in "clear water and ice." Words and lines are highly compressed: one perception immediately and directly slides to a further perception, and these perceptions accrue, multiply, ricochet and expand into a domain of accelerated cognition protean and variable as cumulonimbus, or gouache.
		Humor is a prominent element to the mobile architecture of Raworth's poetry, and adds to the cumulative combustion a piquancy of indeterminate pepper, giddy discontinuities and dissociative metonymies.

	ARRAS: little reviews: Tom Raworth, Tottering State
		In such poems, Raworth seems as full of child-like amazement and blissful, paratactic perceptions as another New York poet, Joseph Ceravalo, though he surehandedly connects it to a private/public sense of responsibility with soft-spoken but forceful opinion.
		If such extreme forms suggest a relationship to the Language poets, it is there, but that would be to miss the humanism in Raworth's work, the persona he has slyly created for himself of the benevolent, however mischeivous, tourguide to the here and now in its many ambivalent disguises.
		Only Raworth, too cynical to be Zen but too wise to be despairing, shows how interesting this this this can be.

		Tom Raworth is the Radiohead of contemporary poetry!
		That is not to say that Raworth is an easy read for non-poetry readers; on the contrary, Raworth is constantly testing of form and expectations, over the years his rapid intelligence searching for newness.
		To try to categorise Raworth's defining concern might draw attention to his long-term apparent interest in the dynamics of the poetic line.

		PETITES IRRÉGULARITÉS is a celebratory exhibition of twenty-three collages by Tom Raworth.
		Tom began in French by saying that he had asked the four particular poets to be invited to read to try to counteract the idea in France that "Britannique" covers everything written on these islands (usually interpreted as writing in English by Anglo Saxons) and because of the panorama and diversity of their writing practices.

	Tottering State
		Robert Creeley has said about Raworth’s poetry: “Tom Raworth is the one who’s truly most interesting to me in England at the moment.
		Some of these consequences are funny (Tom Raworth has a tragedian’s sense of the comic as one of life’s fated inevitabilities), some are frightening or sad.
		Raworth avoids majuscles and this gives his lines a humbler, non-hierarchical, welcoming feel.

		This was not due to lack of OTL material as a heckler accused - far from it - but because Tom Raworth was the unconscious instigator of the entire MERZ NITE monstrosity (Tom was unfortunately absent due to illness).
		Tom was reminiscing about his pre-poet, pre-publishing, teenage years: "I remember going past and into the VandA, and seeing a little Schwitters book in a glass case and something about it interested me. I had nothing to do with museums at that time, but I went in and said, `Can I look at that book?'.
		And they were really nice to me, they said, `Come into this room and sit here and we'll get it for you.' They took it out of the glass case and brought it in.

	Sentence, not Sentence
		Raworth has been using these columns for more than a decade now (especially in the long poem Writing, published by The Figures in 1982), they jet across our field of vision so swiftly and yet modestly that it takes a moment to realize how intricately planned they are.
		Raworth's phrases, on the other hand, try to get "at" the substance of the poem from every possible angle--description, rumor, hearsay, narrative account, qualifier--even as what is missing throughout all this variability is the subject.
		That spatial metaphor also animates Raworth's vertical word columns and Howe's "frame structures." The "displacements" of the Duchampian "hinge picture," "1st in the plane 2d in space," force us to rethink those facile buzzwords and clichés that permeate the culture.

		Few people will have the complete publications of this poet –; in fact not even the author does, which explains why one obscure chapbook from the 1970s has been left out of this otherwise exhaustive compendium.
		Tom Raworth first came to notice in the 1960s, as a very talented book designer and as a poet.

	Jacket 26 - Tom Raworth Feature - Keith Tuma: 'till mute attention Struck my listning Ear'
		More formal get-up on Tom new to me: makes me feel better about having spent two hours talking about his work to Bob von Hallberg’s seminar, saying things like ‘If this were another century Tom would be our finest epigrammatist and miniaturist.
		But since it’s after that time the work is necessarily more oblique, spun in deft turning, that kind of observation, detail, and comment every bit as cut and cutting but in pieces and rearranged.’ I left out the wonder of and in it, the anger too.
		It occurs to me that Tom might have a few lessons for Medeia in the possibilities of boredom and distraction as modes of attention.
