I hope I can be excused for noting the
appearance of the new Carolina Quarterly
(Winter, 1971) with something less than
rejoicing. At least I'm sure the average
reader will excuse" my reserve? Tile
Quarterly is a much-honored small
magazine. Recently it received a matching
grant from the Coordinating Council of
Literary Magazines. Yet I suspect most
readers will respond to this as they would
to news that a stranger had just got a gold
star for achievement in Latin. And I'm
afraid the reaction of "most readers" is in
this case correct. This Quarterly, like,
well, like all the earlier ones I've seen, has
a certain, solipsistic quality, a tendency to
cater to tastes rather too refined; or
perhaps rareified is the word. And yet,
not to be all one-sided, there are poems in
this volume (leaving aside the prose)
which overcome the almost mannered
self-consciousness of most of the
collection and pulse with life. I can't
advise anyone to buy the Quarterly; but
if you can get hold of a copy, browse
through. You won't be entirely
displeased.
Perhaps the most noticeable quality of
the Quarterly's poetry, besides its

For the students who came together in

self-consciousness, is the poets apparent
faith in the efficacy of concrete
description. I'm the last person to deny
the importance of description to poetry;
but sometimes the drive for solidity is
almost suffocating. This is particularly
true of Robert Hefner's rather unagfle
contributions. In "The Last Lighthouse,"
he writes: "But still I scan that slate-gray
sea, searching for a pulsing vein of jade
that beacons from the crested rocks." It's
unfair to the poem to quote lines out of
their context; and in "The Last
Lighthouse" the antithesis between living
light and the dead sea is sustained. Yet,
with such a mass of description, why the
unnecessary "crested rocks"? And
"pulsing vein of jade", besides its flatness
of sound, rams home its meaning with a
sledge-hammer's delicacy. I might note
also that "jade" seems improper in the
poem's decorum.
The heavy hand is apparent in Hefner's
other poems, also. "Shift of Key", is a
series of unconvincing images linked by a
pun "Auricle, Ventricle, Canticle." And
"The Biology Teacher Dreams of
Adultery," Hefner's most effective effort,
collapses into incoherence as one image is

distinction we can no longer take for
granted) are matters of human
relationships. So that's finally what the
poems are about.
"In Paintbrush Canyon" very
appropriately opens with David Feffer's
"Growing Up." A beautiful poem which
takes us inside the head of a child, right
back inside our own child heads, to
re-experience smallness and trust. Cae
Emerson's "Occupant" is a wonderfully
sensitive and sensitized response to
isolation: the isolation of a respondent
from his own response the
dehumanization of human response in a
world where structures act by proxy for
relationships. Her terms: the anonymity
of suffering as it relates to the suffering
of anonymity. Becca Lemon's "The

portrait and at the same time a marvelous
dramatization of a mood that is as much

invalidated by the next (a mirror is
"torn," for instance). Worse, the poem's
ambiguity is entirely unproductive: we
never grasp what we have to know to
make sense out of the images: whose
consciousness is the subject of the poem,
the teacher's or her husband's?
In Rush Rankin's "Visiting a
Governness" we see another instance of
poorly handled imagery. The subject of
the poem is a sexual encounter between
the poet and the governess. The first
stanza describes the afterglow: "The
white sheet stuck to my legs like foam
that eshausted waves leave fluttering on
the beach." One sees the rationale behind
"exhausted" and behind the situation as a
whole. Yet, sheets are in no way like
foam, and foam does not "flutter." I
apppreciate Mr. Rankin's predicament; I
don't know what word I'd substitute for
"flutter." On these grounds one may
excuse the poem's imprecision, as one
excuses vagueness in a politician's speech
or a sermon; I am a pedant, perhaps, even
to call attention to it. Yet, one tolerates
such obviously failed description
description which must bear the weight
of the poem's sense only because one

tuned that not a single word jars. The
whole poem simply rings true: a song.
"Look" by Ann Odum is a wonderful
poem. A perfectly timed click of the
shutter; a moment she'll never
forget -because that moment is her whole
life. The collection closes with Kip Ward's
"Harmony School." A beautiful way to
conclude, at the starting line. And no
races either; just parades. "Harmony
School" is about learning how to see
harmony inside ourselves and out. Joining
up with the parade.
Drawings by Lynn Goodpasture
provide the finishing touch: dancing lines
and dots celebrating the parade, lighting
the way out of town.
"In Paintbrush Canyon" is an
experience well worth making your own.

does not make an effort to visualize it;
and this, I think, is less complimentary to
the poet than direct criticism. The rest of
the poem has the same sort of bravado as
the opening. Lines Eke, "With the masters
of the house away, she had invited me
to stay" testily to an absence of narrative
power on the poet's part.
Too many poems are written with
similar incompetence to - worry about
them aH. David Gitin's "No Tide" is
painfully- precious: "firefly villages on
openface hills night ..." I suppose
Vaughan Duhamel is an "experimental"'
poet. How else are we to account for lines
like "say what you want to tell me
something as i can know you from some
basis besides going to a direction"? And
Judith Anne Greenberg's "Agreement" is
a particularly impotent accumulation of
"pathetic" details, so unoriginal in

conception that I am surprised to see it in
print.
Not everything, however, is quite on a
dead level. I criticized Rush Rankin
severely, so let me note that "Not
Because I was Stir Crazy" is a terrifically
exciting poem. It describes a fatal auto
crash: "From my position, my scream
was bloodcurdling: veins snapped like,
rubberbands, lungs flattened against my
brain. (Let there be no mistake, dying
hurts.)" Michael Culross's "Kor.g's Girl"
is something of a conversation-piece for
the female liherationists, but it is
powerful and effective. And Greg
Kuzma's "The American Agency" to my
mind is the best poem in the collection:
"We can cure your aches And cure your
sagging alphabet And cure your Angst.
Cure the darkness that gathers like

If the Quarterly contained these three
poems only, and nothing besides, I would
tell the reader to buy it. But frankly, no
one likes to pay for a botched job; and
my only advice is this, to the magazine's
editors: that the best poetry has almost
invariably been communication on a large
scale. Perhaps modern poetry disproves
this assertion. But then, "poetic" merits
aside, Byron was a figure cf European
significance, and IS. Eliot, as a man, was
something of an imaginary toad in a real
garden.
This is a fact worth considering when
you start looking for readers.
