Extractions: Beauty is the vocation of the earth. -William Bryant Logan God's breath on a compound of silica, alumina and various oxides primarily iron-gave Adam life. There is a primal, almost mystical connection between humankind and clay, from the footed, bellied first receptacles to frescoed Renaissance cathedral walls. To Carver's eye, the muddy creek banks say Here to be dug up, strained and painted on, is loveliness the poorest can afford: azures, ochres . . . Scraps of discarded board are landscapes. Cabins undistinguished brown bloom like slaves freed to struggle toward self-worth. Beauty is commonplace, as cheap as dirt. MARILYN NELSON

Review Of "The Fields Of Praise" By Marilyn Nelson

http://www.smartishpace.com/home/reviews_nelson.html

Extractions: The poetry in Marilyn Nelson's 1997 National Book Award Finalist collection of new and selected poems, The Fields of Praise (Louisiana State Press, $16.95) varies richly in both subject matter and technique. In section I, "Mama and Daddy," Nelson recounts in conversational poems, poignant, engaging stories of her parents and what they gave her. Her father "was a navigator on B-52s. His crew was a lot like the crew of the bomber in Dr. Strangelove (1964) in which James Earl Jones plays the part of the navigator." she writes in the notes on the poems. The Tuskegee Airmen poems, she says, are true: "These men,/these proud black men;/our first to touch/their fingers to the sky." Except for their short lines, many of the poems in this section read like prose. The riveting stories contain racial tensions of WWII - harsh, blatant prejudices to be confronted.

Extractions: John Craig and I first discussed several years ago the possibility of a collaboration, neither of us having a concrete idea of what such a collaboration might be. We shook hands on a definite "deal" this spring, agreeing to work on a collaborative project this summer. Shortly after, I went to teach a two-week workshop for the Joiner Center.

She will read Thursday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Ayres 120 as part of the Writer's Voice Series. Her visit is co-sponsored by the Center for Multicultural and Gender Studies. by Marilyn Nelson for Judy Maines-La Marre All the children on this ward are dying of AIDS. The sister opens the door to two hundred and ten quiet cribs lined in such tight ranks you can barely squeeze between. This is not an unpaid advertisement: You left your family, the local value of your surname, your wind-tight house, electricity, the safe water we turn on and drink, and went for two weeks to Haiti, to hold out your arms from a rocking-chair. One by one babies were handed to you, their skin smooth as black milk. Gradually they remembered touch, met your gaze, surrendered smiles. One tottered through three wards to find you again; he stood beside your chair, his cheek pressed to your arm. All you can do, you said later, is hold them and love them. And let them go.
