BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The New York Times obituary (2/25/99) calls Bronk "a poet of depth and haunting vision" and "one of the most prominent poets of his generation" known for "the philosophical depth of his work." The Nation once referred to him as "our most significant poet," and critics hailed his intellect, precise use of language, and intimate, haunting and unfrivolous vision. In 1981, when the University of New Hampshire began collecting Bronk, he had had ten books of poetry and three books of essays published by small presses, but was still relatively unknown. Hugh Miller, a book seller in New Haven, Connecticut made the following statement about Bronk's literary reputation: Bronk's first two books, Light and Dark (1956), published by Corman's Origin Press and

Menu Home Biography William Bronk and the Goegraphy of America Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 ... Bronk on the Web William Bronk and the Geography of America by Edward Halsey Foster Originally published in slightly different form in The Hudson Valley Regional Review Loss, says William Bronk in his poem "The Mind's Landscape on an Early Winter Day," "is what we live with all the time." Not even Eliot among our major American poets was as deeply affected in his work by the sense of loss that seems to pervade our civilization as Bronk has been. The disintegration of conventional moral and spiritual certainties in nineteenth-century America led to claims as drastic as, on the one hand, Emerson's, that individuals could find spiritual truth intuitively in solitude and, on the other, Melville's, that spiritual truth, if it could be known, would be unbearable and destructive. In Moby-Dick, the Pequod's quest to locate spiritual meaning behind nature ends with Pip's insanity, Ishmael's abandonment, and Ahab's death. Both Melville's and Emerson's claims imply a nation of solitary men, of "Isolatoes" as Melville called them, "each Isolato living on a separate continent of his own." The spiritual life which had in the Middle Ages made community possible had become for Melville and Emerson the very thing which made community impossible. Bronk understands the implications of conclusions like Melville's and Emerson's. The loss of a common spiritual reality and the contingent loss of community is the crucible of American experience, and Bronk is the poet of the anguish and despair which that loss entails.

About William Bronk's Poetry Mark Rudman TOWARD A READING OF THE POETRY OF WILLIAM BRONK William Bronk's poetry begins where philosophy leaves off: in the enactment of an idea, in the testing of a proposition. Each poem addresses itself to a central question of existence, not only why we are here but where we are. He merges dialectics and lyric: "And oh, it is always a world and not the world" ("At Tikal"). This is where modern philosophy is weakest: in motivating force, in addressing itself to the central questions: "Has there ever been, will there ever be, / not now? No, always. Only now!" ("The Now Rejects Time and Eternity"). Poetry has become ego-centered or centerless, narrative or language based. Bronk is neither. Bronk distills, resisting the nominalist impulse: "Flowers, I know you, not knowing your name" ("Flowers, The World and My Friend, Thoreau"). Naming, in Bronk, is always mysterious—a first and last time. Not only are his poems lovely in some traditional way but they manage to be so while questioning the assumptions of that way.

William Bronk Died Feb. 22 some time at night, apparently peacefully. The Smile on the Face of a Kouros This boy, of course, was dead, whatever that might mean. And nobly dead. I think we should feel he was nobly dead. He fell in battle, perhaps, and this carved stone remembers him not as he may have looked, but as if to define the naked virtue the stone describes as his. One foot is forward, the eyes look out, the arms drop downward past the narrow waist to hands hanging in burdenless fullness by the heavy flanks. The boy was dead, and the stone smiles in his death lightening the lips with the pleasure of something achieved: an end. To come to an end. To come to death as an end. And coming, bring there intact, the full weight of his strength and virtue, the prize with which his empty hands are full. None of it lost, safe home, and smile at the end achieved. Now death, of which nothing as yet - or ever - is known, leaves us alone to think as we want of it, and accepts our choice, shaping the life to the death. Do we want an end? It gives us; and takes what we give
