POET
continued
from page one
of poetry that he said were a
tribute to New York City.
“! am going to read all my
favorite poems that 1 normally
would read,” Kinnell said to
the audience, “but as a resident
of New York City, I am espe
cially sore at bean” about the
collapse of the World Trade
Center and the tragedy sur
rounding the last few weeks.
“I will include some poetry
appropriate for the occasion,”
he told the audience.
Kinnell read a dark German
poem called ‘Try to Praise the
Mutilated World” which dis
cussed personal acceptance of
human destruction.
. He al.so read a hum(HX>us and
whimsical poem called “The
Avenue Bearing the Initial of
Christ into the New World.”
which talked about familiar
sounds, smells and details of
New York City.
Kinnell interacted with his
audience throughout the read
ing. He explained the personal
meaning behind each poem
before he read it.
“Because of this, I felt more
comfortable listeiiing to the
poems, and 1 was able to really
appreciate them,” said sopho
more Dana Looney.
Kresge Auditorium was lull
before Kinnell began his read
ing. Students and teachers who
could not tlnd a seat sat on the
steps or stood in the back of the
room.
Kinnell encouraged these
people to come down front and
sit on the stage before he
began. When audience mem
bers did proceed down the
steps to sit on the stage around
Kinnell, who was standing at a
pxlium centerstage, it gave the
auditorium a relaxed and inti
mate feeling.
Kinnell thought something
else might be on the minds of
the audience members now
nestled around him.
“I too have sometimes pre
ferred to stand beside the exit
at poetry readings,” he said.
The reading was followed by
a reception and a book signing.
