Poetry Daily Prose Feature: "Heavy Trash": A Conversation with Mark Halliday
Mark Halliday: I'm slightly embarrassed by how long it took me to get serious as a poet. I reached nearly the end of my twenties without committing myself to writing the best poems I could write, by which I mean poems that tried hard to express my deepest complexes of feeling and perception. Some poets seem to grow up in this way by the age of 25, or even younger. But I spent most of my twenties being very energetic and prolific, but only half-serious.

Online Journal: Video "The Gate" Marie Howe
A second volume of poetry by Howe, What the Living Do: Poems (1997), is a collection of forty-eight poems about what the living do after the death of a loved one. A Publishers Weekly reviewer commented, "The tentative transformation of agonizing, slow-motion loss into redemption is Howe's signal achievement in this wrenching second collection." The reviewer added that the poet's consciousness becomes consumed with thoughts of a brother dying of AIDS and travels over the territory of both everyday life and the childhood memories of the poet. The Publishers Weekly critic praised the book calling the poems "rigorously crafted in their long, open lines of taut, precise language," and added that the collection revealed Howe's "power as a metaphysician for the coming century of fractured faith."

The Unwritten Biography: Philip Levine and Edward Hirsch in Conversation
Phil Levine on poetry, learning, his mother and his book of poems, The Mercy
I was very lucky to have a mother who encouraged me to become a poet. ... But she loved poetry, fiction, music; that a son of hers would devote himself to this art thrilled her. Only the final poem in the book was written after her death, which was in the spring of last year just after she turned ninety-four. I did not see her death coming. The last time I spoke with her she sounded very snappy and was looking forward to my new book. I hope the book contains some of her zest for life, some of her belief in the power of beauty, some of her great humor. As a teacher you too must have known many young people who wanted to pursue poetry but were discouraged by their families. I'm one lucky guy to have had Esther Levine for my mother.
