Former poet laureate Donald Hall talks with fellow poet Elizabeth Spires about what sparked his writing as a young man (movies like "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"), his wild times with poets like Robert Bly at Harvard, and his return to his grandparents' farm with wife and poet Jane Kenyon. Spires asks Hall to read "The Ship Pounding" and "Weeds and Peonies," about Kenyon's fatal illness and Hall's grief. Hall also reads "The Wish," with the mournful refrain, "Oh, let me go," and credits Thomas Hardy with much influence. Spires, also a children's author, asks Hall about his writing for children, which he says seemed quicker to write than his poems.

In this edition of The Howard County Poetry and Literature Society's "The Writing Life," W.S. Merwin talks of the environment, his life in Hawaii and the poetry that gently probes the natural world around us. The late poet Roland Flint acts as host, and recalls in this program that W.S. Merwin's first book was chosen for the Yale Younger Poets series by W.H. Auden in 1952. Though honors (a Pulitzer, Bollingen, etc.) have come his way more frequently than riches, shortly before this taping in 1994 Merwin became the first Master American poet to receive a $100,000 Tanning Prize.
To have the freedom to write, Merwin has always lived frugally. Earlier in France, more recently in Hawaii, he alternates between literary pursuits and the work of restoring ruined agricultural land. He gardens less as an owner than the temporary caretaker of a precious resource. Whether planting trees or tending endangered species, concern for the environment permeates all Merwin's writings -- prose, poetry or translation. Merwin sits casually in his blue jeans, and talks of the environment and villanelles. He reads five poems from The Rain in the Trees ("Late Spring," "West Wall" and "The Solstice") and two from his latest volume, Travels, ("Witness" and "Place").

National poet
A national poet or national bard is a poet held by tradition and popular acclaim to represent the identity, beliefs and principles of a particular national culture. The national poet as culture hero is a long-standing symbol, to be distinguished from successive holders of a bureaucratically-appointed poet-laureate office. The idea and honoring of national poets emerged primarily during Romanticism, as a figure that helped consolidation of the nation states, as it provided validation of their ethno-linguistic groups.
Most national poets are historic figures, though a few contemporary writers working in relatively new or revived national literatures are also considered "national poets." Some nations may have more than one national poet; the idea of a single one is always a simplification. It has been argued that a national poet "must write poetry that closely identifies with the nation's cause – or is thought to do so", with an additional assumption being "that a national poet must write in a national language".

Former poet laureate Donald Hall talks with fellow poet Elizabeth Spires about what sparked his writing as a young man (movies like "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein"), his wild times with poets like Robert Bly at Harvard, and his return to his grandparents' farm with wife and poet Jane Kenyon. Spires asks Hall to read "The Ship Pounding" and "Weeds and Peonies," about Kenyon's fatal illness and Hall's grief. Hall also reads "The Wish," with the mournful refrain, "Oh, let me go," and credits Thomas Hardy with much influence. Spires, also a children's author, asks Hall about his writing for children, which he says seemed quicker to write than his poems.

In this edition of The Howard County Poetry and Literature Society's "The Writing Life," W.S. Merwin talks of the environment, his life in Hawaii and the poetry that gently probes the natural world around us. The late poet Roland Flint acts as host, and recalls in this program that W.S. Merwin's first book was chosen for the Yale Younger Poets series by W.H. Auden in 1952. Though honors (a Pulitzer, Bollingen, etc.) have come his way more frequently than riches, shortly before this taping in 1994 Merwin became the first Master American poet to receive a $100,000 Tanning Prize.
To have the freedom to write, Merwin has always lived frugally. Earlier in France, more recently in Hawaii, he alternates between literary pursuits and the work of restoring ruined agricultural land. He gardens less as an owner than the temporary caretaker of a precious resource. Whether planting trees or tending endangered species, concern for the environment permeates all Merwin's writings -- prose, poetry or translation. Merwin sits casually in his blue jeans, and talks of the environment and villanelles. He reads five poems from The Rain in the Trees ("Late Spring," "West Wall" and "The Solstice") and two from his latest volume, Travels, ("Witness" and "Place").

Mark Strand, National Poet Laureate, talks about his work
In this edition of HoCoPoLitSo's The Writing Life, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Henry Taylor hosts National Poet Laureate Mark Strand. Their conversation spans Strand's work from his first book, Sleeping with One Eye Open, published in 1964, to his sixth book, The Continuous Life, published in 1990. The two writers talk about matters of form, rhyme, slant rhymes and alliteration that characterize a poem like "Sleeping with One Eye Open". They touch on the "spooky" quality of an early poem like "Keeping Things Whole," and discuss the difference between these early poems and Strand's free verse poems and the return to more traditional structure in his newer work. Mr. Strand reads five of his poems: "Sleeping with One Eye Open"; "Keeping Things Whole"; and "Shooting Whales" from his Selected P... -

National Poet Laureate Rita Dove talks of "On the Bus with Rosa Parks"
Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Rita Dove talks with poet Michael Collier about her book "On the Bus With Rosa Parks" and her years as a National Poet Laureate. Dove talks about the genesis of her poems about Parks, the quiet lady who, by remaining seated when told to move to the back of the bus, set off the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Collier likens the power and symbolism of Park's inaction to the historic ride of Paul Revere. As Dove reads "In the Lobby of the Warner Theatre", "Washington, D.C.", "Rosa", "The Pond, Porch View: 6 p.m. Early Spring" and "Lady Freedom Among Us", Collier calls attention to the fine points of each poem.
