Richard Wilbur (b. 1921) Contributing Editor: Bernard F. Engel Comparisons, Contrasts, Connections 1. Compare Wilbur's vigorous defense of traditional patterns, metrics, and rhyme with Olson's essay "Projective Verse" or similar arguments for "open form." Early comments on Wilbur's tight artistic discipline appear in M. L. Rosenthal's The Modern Poets (Oxford University Press, 1960). Rosenthal admires Wilbur's technical skill but argues that his work is overly traditional. A strong defense of Wilbur as a "darker" poet, one "more complex, passionate, and original" than critics sometimes take him to be, appears in Bruce Michelson's book. A number of critical views are summarized in Engel's Research Guide article. 2. Donald Hill's Richard Wilbur (1967) has several passages discussing critics who compare Wilbur's work with that of Robert Lowell , Howard Nemerov, and others. Useful comparison could also be made with Richard Eberharta poet who is equally convinced that the flesh is poetry's environment but is nevertheless more willing to move into mysticism and exclamation.

Richard Wilbur Richard Wilbur isn't much in favor these days, but the following poem I happened on gives me pleasure. Still and all, I could imagine assailing it for certain qualities. What do you think? In the Smoking Car The eyelids meet. He'll catch a little nap. The grizzled, crew-cut head drops to his chest. It shakes above the briefcase on his lap. Close voices breathe, "Poor sweet, he did his best." "Poor sweet, poor sweet," the bird-hushed glades repeat, Through which in quiet pomp his litter goes, Carried by native girls with naked feet. A sighing stream concurs in his repose. Could he but think, he might recall to mind The righteous mutiny or sudden gale That beached him here; the dear ones left behind . . . So near the ending, he forgets the tale. Were he to lift his eyelids now, he might Behold his maiden porters, brown and bare. But even here he has no appetite. It is enough to know that they are there. Enough that now a honeyed music swells

Shame Richard Wilbur It is a cramped little state with no foreign policy, Save to be thought inoffensive. The grammar of the language Has never been fathomed, owing to the national habit Of allowing each sentence to trail off in confusion. Those who have visited Scusi, the capital city, Report that the railway-route from Schuldig passes Through country best described as unrelieved. Sheep are the national product. The faint inscription Over the city gates may perhaps be rendered, "I'm afraid you won't find much of interest here." Census-reports which give the population As zero are, of course, not to be trusted, Save as reflecting the natives' flustered insistence That they do not count, as well as their modest horror Of letting one's sex be known in so many words. The uniform grey of the nondescript buildings, the absence Of churches or comfort-stations, have given observers An odd impression of ostentatious meanness, And it must be said of the citizens (muttering by In their ratty sheepskins, shying at cracks in the sidewalk) That they lack the peace of mind of the truly humble.

Of course, Wilbur was a smiling idiot- not too unlike the hero of this opining. Yes, Richard Wilbur was American Poet Laureate from 1987-1988. So what?

Liking best to live In the deep woods whose light is Most contemplative Both are often found Where mandrake, wintergreen, and Dry leaves strew the ground Their heads inclining Toward the dark earth , one blessing And one divining.

Poet Richard Wilbur to Read at Smith College NORTHAMPTON, Mass.-The Poetry Center at Smith College presents poet Richard Wilbur at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in Stoddard Hall Auditorium. Richard Wilbur is the only living American poet to have won the Pulitzer Prize twice. The second Poet Laureate of the United States and recipient of countless honors and awards-including the Bollingen Prize, two PEN translation awards and two Guggenheim Fellowships-he has displayed consistent eloquence and artistry over a career that spans more than half a century. Wilbur's varied literary output of over 35 books has included poetry, prose, children's books, a collection of essays, plays, translations and editorial work on the collected poems of Shakespeare and Poe. The most prolific and gifted translator of Molière world-wide, Wilbur is credited with the explosive revival of his plays in North America, beginning in 1955 with "The Misanthrope." Wilbur's translations of Molière, Racine, Apollinaire and others are widely praised for incorporating the spirit of both language and author, while maintaining the original form and rhyme scheme.

72. "Zea" And "Signatures" By Richard Wilbur: Two Remarkable Poems By Thomas Carper Zea and Signatures by richard wilbur Two Remarkable Poems is an essay by ThomasCarper for Able Muse Poetry, Millenial issue formal poetry, art and photography http://www.ablemuse.com/2k/richard_wilbur-tcarper.htm

"Zea" and "Signatures" by Richard Wilbur: Two Remarkable Poems by Thomas Carper If we're lucky, frequently enough we encounter poems that move us, cause us to think and learn, and leave us grateful to their writers. But occasionally we come across poems which leave us awestruck. The more we think about them, the more their qualities of mind and heart, and the impressiveness of their skill, unfold for us. For me two such poems are Richard Wilbur's "Zea" and "Signatures," both written in nine haiku-like stanzas, strictly observing the traditional Japanese three-line form, with five, seven, and five syllables in successive lines. But the form as Wilbur handles it is not only Japanese; here there is rhyme, and a familiar English metrical pattern is generated to create moving effects. This brief essay is a presentation and discussion of the two poems and those features which to me seem noteworthy. Part of their attraction is that they are poems which I cannot imagine anyone else having written; they are inimitable. Their subjects, apprehended by this most original poet's extraordinary close looking at small natural phenomena, are made meaningful through unexpected associations with the largest human concerns. And all of this in the context of a tactful, self-effacing presentation.

74. Richard Wilbur, God, And Christianity richard wilbur, God, and Christianity A recurring theme in the poetryof richard wilbur is one of God and Christianity. Biblical http://members.truepath.com/onegirlarmy/rwgc.html

Richard Wilbur, God, and Christianity A recurring theme in the poetry of Richard Wilbur is one of God and Christianity. Biblical references can be found throughout his work, even in poems that have little to do with religion. However, this theme is quite prominent as there are several poems contain more than passing references. Wilbur provides in these poems ideas that Christians can identify with, either in the Christian lifestyle or straight from the Bible. Richard Wilbur was raised by a Presbyterian father and an Episcopalian mother. Because his mother was closer to her own faith, they attended an Episcopal church. When Wilbur's parents opted to not go to church, a neighbor took him to a Baptist Sunday School. When he was in high school and college, he was involved in organizations such as Amherst's Christian Association. It was during the war that Wilbur says he had some "inwardness" because he "carried everywhere" a missal that a chaplain gave to him ( Image ). Wilbur's religious background is steeped in Christianity and different denominations. This gave him familiarity with scripture and doctrine. "A Christmas Hymn" is a beautiful poem that takes a verse from Luke and repeats it in each stanza to reinforce a point. Indeed, this poem is a celebration. Wilbur himself said, "I'm the sort of Christian animal for whom celebration is the most important thing of all" (

This image was perhaps fixed by some of the frothier poems in Wilbur’s first book of verse, The Beautiful Changes , which was published in 1947 and included such confections as “The Melongène” and “Attention Makes Infinity.” Yet in the latter we see how “every yard, alive with laundry white, / billowing wives and leaves, gives way to air,” and already we find in that white billow, that light air, the hint of a weightier work to come—the laundry-laden title poem of Wilbur’s third collection, “Love Calls Us to the Things of This World.” Things of This World appeared in 1956, the same year that Wilbur made a name in theater with the lyrics for

76. Richard Wilbur And Mayflies § §. Now, we wish we could say that this richard wilbur represents eitherpertinence or impertinence (or both) but, alas, we fear it is neither. http://www.ralphmag.org/wilburZM.html

Mayflies New Poems and Translations Richard Wilbur (Harcourt) One of our writer friends said that all poetry should be pertinent or impertinent. That is, it should address itself to issues vital to our lives, or, contrariwise, make fun of the whole bag of tea. Thus when Keats speaks of The weariness, the fever, and the fret, Here where men sit and hear each other groan... Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies. Where but to think it to be full of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs... He is letting us know that even in the so-called "romantic" world, life's a bitch. This we call pertinent. Philip Larkin, by contrast, was master of the impertinent: Quarterly, is it, money reproaches me: "Why do you let me lie here wastefully? I am all you never had of goods and sex, You could get them still by writing a few cheques." So I look at others, what they do with theirs: They certainly don't keep it upstairs. By now they've a second house and car and wife: Clearly money has something to do with life - In fact, they've a lot in common, if you enquire:

JO;WILBUR ( Josuha Wilbur) By Richard Slaney The planemaker "JO; WILBUR" was Joshua Wilbur Jr., housewright of Newport, Rhode Island. Joshua was born in 1758 in Swansea, Massachusetts, the second of ten children.( ) His father, Joshua Wilbur Sr. of Swansea, was a loyalist during the American Revolution and was imprisoned "for refusing to take the oath of allegiance to the state.''( ) At the age of 16, Joshua Wilbur Jr. left his parent's farm in Swansea and moved to Providence, Rhode Island.( ) He came to Providence in 1774 to begin an apprenticeship to David Burr, house carpenter of Providence.( ) In the 1777 Rhode Island Military Census establishing eligibility for military service, the name of Joshua Wilbur appears next to the name of David Burr.( ) He was probably living with David Burr in 1777, a common practice for an apprentice at that time. Unlike his father, Joshua Jr., 17 years old at the outbreak of hostilities in 1775, supported the American cause. In 1778 and again in 1780, he served three months of active duty in Col. Barton's Regiment of Rhode Island Militia.( ) The city of Providence in the revolutionary war years 1775 through 1783 was never occupied by enemy forces and no military battles took place there. Joshua served his country, but he continued to learn and then work at the carpentry trade in Providence during the war years.(

"Potato" (from Richard Wilbur's The Beautiful Changes and Other Poems An underground grower, blind and a common brown; Got a misshapen look, it's nudged where it could; Simple as soil yet crowded as earth with all. Cut open raw, it looses a cool clean stench, Mineral acid seeping from pores of prest meal; It is like breaching a strangely refreshing tomb: Therein the taste of first stones, the hands of dead slaves, Waters men drank in the earliest frightful woods, Flint chips, and peat, and the cinders of buried camps. Scrubbed under faucet water the planet skin Polishes yellow, but tears to the plain insides; Parching, the white's blue-hearted like hungry hands. All of the cold dark kitchens, and war-frozen gray Evening at window; I remember so many Peeling potatoes quietly into chipt pails. "It was potatoes saved us, they kept us alive."

Her work's strength lies in its limpid clarity, in the delicacy and precision of its language, and not the least in its humane wisdom. The poems are gorgeously crafted, with the kind of unobtrusive skill that leaves the reader humble and grateful; they speak to us in the steady, trustworthy tones of an old friend whose comfort and understanding we know are real and won't fail. Rehearsing Absence is a wonderful book." - Dick Davis "Rooted in dailiness, sculpted with a particularly canny sense of the line, Rhina Espaillat's poems, especially her wonderful sonnets, keep their feet on the ground while their spirited thoughts range all over creation. A burnished collection." - Rachel Hadas 2000 Winner, Len Krisak's
