Theodore Roethke (1908-1963)
Contributing Editor: Janis Stout
Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
Personal Background : Roethke had extremely ambivalent feelings about his father, who was managing partner in a large greenhouse operation in Saginaw, Michigan. He also had problems related to alcohol addiction and bipolar disorder, which resulted in periods of hospitalization. All of these personal tensions are confronted in his poetry.
Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions
"Frau Bauman, Frau Schmidt, and Frau Schwartze" The three "ancient ladies" preside over processes of growth (both vegetable and the poet's own) almost as personifications of natural forces, or even the three Fates. Their presence, like Mother Nature's, is somewhat ambiguous; there is a note of threat in their tickling of the child and in their night presence. The three women's vigor and authority should be noted, as well as their avoidance of limitation by sex-role stereotypes: clearly female (they wear skirts, they have a special association with the child), they also climb ladders and stand astride the steam-pipes providing heat in the greenhouse. "Root Cellar"

http://www.artseditor.com/html/january00/jan00_roethke.shtml
Who would ever dare to recycle the 1975 Doubleday/Anchor edition of The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke ? Surely only someone who'd long since replaced that $3.95 paperback with a newer edition, the likes of which I have not even seen or bothered to look into, suspecting that the poems have not been revised posthumously. I don't mind the dated cover graphic of the little yellow sun-blob above a row of four blobby trees, one taller yellow and one taller blue tree (crowns vaguely linden-like) flanked by smaller green blob trees, perhaps coniferous cedars. I've hung onto my 20-something paperback Roethke, repairing its broken back several years ago with chiropractic Scotch tape, continuing to leaf through it now and again to read an old favorite, sometimes to my nature-loving wife, who teaches high-school English, but usually to myself. The book has served me well since I bought it in 1976, at the Grolier Book Shop in Cambridge I believe, the year I moved to the Boston area from the Appalachian Ohio state-college town where I had gone to school. It serves me well still. But somebody around the corner from me on Henry Street in Cambridgeport-let's say a woman around my middle age who does publicity for a nonprofit international development agency-threw her copy out. Let's assume, perhaps wrongly, that she didn't replace her copy either, finding Roethke a bit too apolitical, and that she hadn't read this one in so long-not since the course she took at Brandeis on modern poetry-that she just figured she may as well get rid of it.

Theodore Roethke (1908-1963). Born in Saginaw, Michigan, Roethke was the son of a greenhouse owner; greenhouses figure prominently in the imagery of his poems. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1929, where he also earned an M.A. in 1936 after graduate study at Harvard. He taught at several universities, coached two varsity tennis teams, and settled at the University of Washington in 1947. Intensely introspective and demanding of himself, Roethke was renowned as a great teacher, though sometimes incapacitated by an ongoing manic-depressive condition. His collection

Poet Theodore Roethke
"He invented a vocabulary of metamorphosis. He uprooted his environment for unfolding images, replayed light, objects, emotions back to us in juxtapositions never seen or heard before. Inside that darkly blooming world where he debated with God, death and all things green, lovely visions struck him... We have appointed our kids and our artists keepers of our flattened, post-industrialized consciences. Our poets are lasers of sensibility, feeling, seeing, perceiving with an intensity we don't dare. And they become in this transaction the victim of their own awareness and our staggering unawareness. Thus Theodore Roethke." Life magazine, 1972 Theodore H. Roethke, who served on the UW faculty from 1947 until his death in 1963, has earned a place in history as perhaps the greatest American poet of his generation. His poetry has been recognized as a national treasure. Among his many honors, Roethke won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1954 and the National Book Award in 1959. Roethke's best known works are poems that incorporate memories from his childhood of his father's greenhouse. These are considered by many to be his greatest achievement.

Selected Poetry of Theodore Roethke
ROOT CELLAR Nothing would sleep in that cellar, dank as a ditch,
Bulbs broke out of boxes hunting for chinks in the dark,
Shoots dangled and drooped,
Lolling obscenely from mildewed crates,
Hung down long yellow evil necks, like tropical snakes.
And what a congress of stinks!
Roots ripe as old bait,
Pulpy stems, rank, silo-rich,
Leaf-mold, manure, lime, piled against slippery planks.
Nothing would give up life:
Even the dirt kept breathing a small breath. ORCHIDS They lean over the path, Adder-mouthed, Swaying close to the face, Coming out, soft and deceptive, Limp and damp, delicate as a young bird's tongue; Their fluttery fledgling lips Move slowly, Drawing in the warm air. And at night, The faint moon falling through whitewashed glass, The heat going down So their musky smell comes even stronger, Drifting down from their mossy cradles: So many devouring infants!

Theodore Roethke's "Elegy for Jane" Part 1: Influences and Sources
by
Barbara Edwards-Aldrich In " In Memoriam A. H. H. ," a new kind of elegy with roots in the elegiac tradition, Tennyson writes, "For words, like Nature, half reveal/And half conceal the Soul within" (1045). The truth of Tennyson's statement appears in Theodore Roethke 's " Elegy for Jane : My Student Killed by a Horse." Roethke conceals much about himself as a person yet reveals much about himself as a poet when he puts his grief into words. Without knowing something of Roethke's personal and professional life, one would think that a student named Jane was the sole inspiration for this moving elegy ; however, in The Glass House , the poet's biographer, Allan Seager, reveals more than one possible source of inspiration for the poem. At the University of Washington, as at Roethke's other teaching posts, students liked him, and he frequently formed close relationships with his studentsin fact, he married one of his former students; however, this was not the case with Jane Bannick. Seager reveals that "Ted had not known her [Jane] very well." She " was a student of Ted's for only one quarter. She was thrown from a horse and killed" (193). Yet another one of his students may also have had an influence on this elegy. According to Seager, Roethke "may have been influenced also by Lois Lamb, who had fallen from a horse the previous summer and described the attendant fears to him in detail" (193). Seager also mentions that [the poet] and Lamb conducted a series of `experiments' with a flock of turkeys on the sanitarium [Pinel] grounds" (187) during the poet's 1949-50 hospitalization of manic-depressive illness. These visits by Lamb indicate a closer relationship between Roethke and Lamb that would be more likely to create an awareness in the poet of the intense grief that might result at the tragic severing of an exceptionally close teacher-student bond. Furthermore, Ross-Bryant points out that Roethke expresses his loss in terms of a unique human relationship: "neither father nor lover" (75). The reader can only guess at what emotion may lie behind the poet's statement in regard to the relationshipand after reading his biography, which relationship.

Theodore Roethke's "Elegy for Jane" Part 3: Four Critics
by
Barbara Edwards-Aldrich More than forty years after her untimely death, Jane Bannick breathes againor so it seems while reading about her. Jane's unfortunate death in an equestrian accident prompted one of her professors, the poet Theodore Roethke , to write a moving poem, " Elegy for Jane ," recalling his young student and his feelings of grief at her loss. Opinions appeared almost as soon as Roethke's tribute to Jane, and passages about the poem continue to appear in articles and books. Recent writings by Parini, Ross-Bryant, Kalaidjian, and Stiffler disclose current assessments. According to Parini, Jane's death is not the subject of the poem; rather, her death presents an occasion for calling up a certain emotional state in which Roethke's feelings of grief and pity transcend the occasion. Following the standard of elegiac celebration of the vegetation god Adonis reaching back to Bion 's Lament for Adonis and Moschus 's Lament for Bion , Roethke associates the deceased with elemental aspects of naturethe plant tendrils, the pickerel, the wrento defuse the pathos of her death.

By Linda Robinson Walker A Grade School Phenom
But at least Otto was alive when a speech on the duty to help poorer nations his son wrote in grade school and delivered for the Junior Red Cross was picked up nationally and became a phenomenon. Eventually it was translated into 26 languages. As a freshman in high school, he was more widely translated than he was as an adult poet! When he was 15 or 16 Ted joined the Canoe Club in Saginaw to seek glory in his new passion for tennis . Winning became everything to him, and he raged over wrong shots and would resort to stratagems like limping onto the court before a game to psych out his opponent. He became good enough to win a city tournament. Courtesy Joyce Eurich
The caption for Roethke's 1925 high school yearbook picture: 'He arouses the envy of numerous girls/ When their eyes alight on his golden curls.' At Arthur Hill High School, Roethke was placed in an advanced class for 9th and 10th graders. He joined the debate team , the school newspaper, sat on student councils and once was class secretary. He was in a class of 137 graduates in June 1925; 31 went on to college, and Roethke was one of the two who enrolled at the University of Michigan.

Photo by Linda Robinson Walker Otto Roethke's galoshes on the back porch. Otto danced Ted around the kitchen, the son standing on his father's feet: The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy. We romped until the pans
Slid from the kitchen shelf;
My mother's countenance
Could not unfrown itself The hand that held my wrist
Was battered on one knuckle;
At every step you missed
My right ear scraped a buckle. You beat time on my head With a palm caked hard by dirt, Then waltzed me off to bed Still clinging to your shirt. "My Papa's Waltz" By Linda Robinson Walker At the time of his death Theodore Roethke '29, '36 MA, '62 D Lit (Hon) had won about as many prizes as a poet could, rivaling or surpassing other American poets such as Robert Frost (who was 34 years older), William Carlos Williams Robert Lowell and E. E. Cummings Roethke's death at 55 in shocked his fellow poets into tributes that they might have toned down for a slower, later death. John Ciardi, for instance, in the Michigan Quarterly Review's 1967 collection of tributes, penned these lines: "Ted Roethke was a tearing man,/ a slam-bang wham-damn tantrum O/ from Saginaw in Michigan...a roaring man,/ a ring-tailed whing-ding yippee O./ He could outyell all Michigan/and half the Mississippi O."

LONG LIVE THE WEEDS
Hopkins
Long live the weeds that overwhelm
My narrow vegetable realm!
The bitter rock, the barren soil
That force the son of man to toil;
All things unholy, marred by curse,
The ugly of the universe.
The rough, the wicked, and the wild That keep the spirit undefiled. With these I match my little wit And earn the right to stand or sit, Hope, love, create, or drink and die: These shape the creature that is I. Theodore Roethke, Words for the Wind I would like to think that we can learn something even from events as horrendous as the attack on the World Trade Center. Events like this test our strength and question who we are. We must toil as individuals, and as a society, to come to terms with these "unholy"and "ugly" attacks on the World Trade Center. In doing so, we truly define who we are and what we believe in ways that we never can when dealing with the ordinary, everyday events of our life. Like most people, I've spent many hours talking about these events with friends and family. Sharing makes it easier to bear the pain of these events and helps to discover how I really do feel.
