This Art: Poems about Poetry - Michael Wiegers

This Art: Poems about Poetry

This anthology pays tribute to the art of poetry and Copper Canyon's 30-year dedication to publishing it.

The centuries have changed little in this art,
The subjects are still the same.--Kenneth Rexroth

Why poetry? What is poetry and why do people write it and read it? Why, as Dana Levin has written, "this urge to making a scrapbook of stars"?

Every poet, by accident or design, has responded to "Why poetry" by writing a poem about poetry (an ars poetica). Whether these poems focus on the personal, political, or philosophical, each recognizes that our world is more complicated than a direct statement.

As Marvin Bell has written, "Writing is all and everything." This anthology of poems about the art and life of poetry--which draws widely from Copper Canyon's 30-year backlist of poetry books--proves him right.

Poets write out of love and longing:

Lord, let me live / long enough to dare /a love poem --Cyrus Cassells

Poets confront suffering:

since we will always have a suffering world, we must also always have a song.--David Budbill

And poets write in order to live fully:

We all stumble into ourselves /like this, fitting our fingers to the shape of letters, / while the page gallops out of our reach--Rebecca Seiferle

Only poetry lasts.--Ho Xuan Huong

Michael Wiegers is the Managing Editor at Copper Canyon Press.
