Carol Muske Dukes interview by Douglas Eby "A writer reads constantly." Poet and writer Carol Muske Dukes is the director of the graduate program in literature and creative writing at the University of Southern California. An author of a number of books of poetry and several novels, Dukes says there is one "sure sign" someone is a writer: "A writer reads constantly, reads everything she can get her hands on, tears apart libraries and bookstores, never is without a book in hand." She thinks the "whole point" of reading is "to lose the self, to let the self go, and be swept away by other voices and experiences, by the aesthetic power of language itself, by words." She also sees reading as a way to "imagine worlds not like mine and to imagine consciousnesses not my own. We grow as writers by understanding the other, the new, the unfamiliar, and living within it." With respect to writing as a woman, Dukes thinks it is "imperative to be aware of the history of women's exclusion from the worlds of literature and publishing. It's important for women writers living now to study and learn from the past. Men still control publishing in the present, and far fewer women than men are published." She finds that women writers, "even when their work does get published, are not given the critical or peer attention that male writers accord each each other. Women are still marginalized. Much as I hate that word, it's accurate. I try to give my female students (and all my students) a sense of confidence and a realistic 'take' on the indifference of the world to much literary writing.

War of the Edens Carol Muske Parochial punks, trimmers, nice people, joiners true-blue, Get the hell out of the way of the laurel. It is deathless And it isn't for you. Louise Bogan, "Several Voices Out of a Cloud" Harold Bloom's complaints about widespread aesthetic impoverishment are familiar and unlike Louise Bogan's observations, reiterative. We listened to a similar jeremiad when he opened his heaven's gates to his canonical elect-in the introduction to The Western Canon . He reproduces much of that sermon here as he ostensibly reviews the last ten years of The Best American Poetry and its sins. Without pointing a finger directly at her, he indicts the editor of the 1996 volume, Adrienne Rich. He heaps coals on her head for sins against Aesthetic Purity, namely for choosing poems that he says reflect "the race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin and political purpose of the would-be poet." The faithful grow weary of this thundering from the pulpit. For there are still "faithful," those of us who believe in progressive politics and aesthetics. Who are moved by Bloom's passionate and poetry-loving persona, his pained and occasionally profound cries about what has been lost, yet think Adrienne Rich has the right to experiment, to "open up" our notions of what a poem might be-as she says, against some "apartheid of the imagination."

The sense of self in poetry written by women is historically elusive, certainly less culturally defined than in poems by men. Yet it has ended up, in the present climate of truth-telling, autobiography, and testimony, that the positioning of the self as autobiographical referent in poetry has become central to our reading of poems by women. In Women and Poetry , poet Carol Muske focuses a critical eye on her writings over the last fifteen years in an effort to investigate her evolving attitudes on the subject of women poets and the self. Muske argues that the poem of "testimony," created in part by the reinforcement of critics, has dramatically overshadowed the diverse variety and range of poems by women. She reexaminines what many have taken for granted for some time nowthat the poem of testimony "fits" women's needs in particular, as if it were a defining characteristic. Springboarding from Muriel Rukeyser's famous lines, "If just one women told the truth about her life/the world would split open," Muske retorts with a question of her own, " What truth?" In so doing, she illustrates a split in women's poetry between those whose self stood as representative of truth or moral narrative, and those who continued to write as if the self were a fiction. In her engaging introductory essay, Muske reflects on these and other pressing questions concerning the current state of women and poetry.

BookWire The Narrative Impulse: Three Approaches On September 29-30, 1995 the PSA, the New School and Museo del Barrio co-presented The Narrative Impulse Festival at The New School. Ai, Frank Bidart, Ana Castillo, Alfred Corn, Thomas Disch, Suzanne Gardiner, Yusef Komunyakaa, Robert McDowell, David Mura, Carol Muske and Joyce Carol Oates, participated in panel discussions and readings where the role of narrative in poetry was explored. These articles reflect three of the participants thoughts on the subject. Alfred Corn David Mura Woman on the Ledge Carol Muske Someone at the Narrative Impulse Festival said, rephrasing Kristeva," If fascism is a single narrative, its opposite is not no narrative, but many narratives." If this is so, then the news is pretty good on that score. The writers gathered for the festival made clear that passionate was is being waged against the fascism of a single cultural story. When I introduced the festival, my thoughts were on another view of narrative. Joan Didion shows us a woman standing on a ledge, high about the city, about to jump off. What has happened to this woman, she says, is that she has fallen out of the story; she no longer sees herself as a character in anyone's narrative, including her own. This woman on the ledge may be an objective anecdote or a headline ("Woman leaps from ledge") but in her own consciousness, she has given up connecting things; her life has stopped, as we say, "making sense."

These articles reflect three of the participants thoughts on the subject. Carol Muske David Mura The Rest is Silence Alfred Corn At least one participant in the PSA's Narrative Impulse Festival last fall took it as an occasion to reconsider the scope and potential of narrative for many contemporary poets. When asked what anyone would want to write narrative poetry, I used to give a three-word reply: "Homer. Dante. Chaucer." Asked again, I think I'd offer a tape of the PSA Festival and let them listen to, for example, Yusef Komunyakaa, Carol Muske, David Mura, Ana Castillo, Robert McDowell, and Frank Bidart. Narrative of any kind asks for reader identification , appropriation of a character's experience (at least for the short term) as one's own. That helps explain why narrative has become so important in a period when the question of identity and difference stands in the forefront of contemporary cultural debate. Through narrative, poets explore and define identity; and through the process of identification, a reader whose gender, race, or culture is not the same as those poets' comes to understand and feel solidarity with themthe reader, that is, with good will and the ability to exercise the imagination in behalf of others. "No man is an island," Donne's poem says, and narrative fleshes out that assertion, showing us how all our destinies are bound up together as fellow-tenants in the Global Village.

Waleed J. Iskandar It might Be Said (by Carol Muske-Dukes) This poem is dedicated to the memory of my late husband, the actor David Dukes, who died on this day one year ago—and to all those who perished in the September 11th tragedy in New York City. The place where private grief joins the public community of sorrow is the place where (I hope) this poem resides. This poem contains an image which was given to me by someone who was in the Pentagon at the time of the attack: the pedestal upon which a dictionary lay open, standing in the rubble. When steel disintegrates, when metal wings tipped with insignia explode into flame, when the glittering columns buckle and fall inward the mind interrogates the particular for relief. But the young woman turning to the coffee-maker to fill her second cup, the bond trader flashing a thumbs-up at the monitor, the fire- fighter lifting the charred body in his arms—all become ash at the same instant. It might be said that nothing permanent is left of them. It might
