Although readers of prose fiction sometimes
find descriptive passages superfluous or
boring, description itself is often the most impor¬
tant aspect of a poem. This book examines how a
variety of contemporary poets use description in
their work.
Description has been the great burden of poet¬
ry. How do poets sec the world? How do they look
at it? What do they look for? Is description an end
in itself, or a means of expressing desire? Ezra
Pound demanded that a poem should represent the
external world as objectively and directly as possi¬
ble, and William Butler Yeats, in his introduction
to The Oxford Book af Modern Verse
(1936),
said
that he and his generation were rebelling against,
inter alia, irrelevant descriptions of nature in the
work of their predecessors. The poets in this book,
however, who are distinct in many ways from one
another, all observe the external world of nature or
the reflected world of art, and make relevant poems
out of their observations.
This study deals with the crisp, elegant work of
Charles Tomlinson, the swirling baroque poetry of
Amy Clampitt, the metaphysical meditations of
Charles Wright from a position in his backyard, the
weather reports and landscapes of John Ashbery,
and the new way of looking that Jorie Graham
proposes to explore in her increasingly fragmented
poems. AH of these poets, plus others (Gary Snyder,
Theodore Weiss, Irving Feldman. Richard
Howard) who are dealt with more briefly, attend to
what Wallace Stevens, in a memorable phrase, calls
the way things look each day. The ordinariness of
daily realiry is the beginning of the poets own idio¬
syncratic, indeed unique, visions and styles.
