The Art of Poetry
4. May 2006 17:38, BoEn kort opfølger på min - dagens - tidligere post, hvor jeg henviste til et digt af Kenneth Koch. Digtets korrekte titel er "The Art of Poetry" -- og det er god læsning for enhver, der gerne selv vil skrive. I det hele taget: Koch (udtales Coke) kan varmt anbefales. Læs mere om ham her.
Og her er, hvad der står i digtet. Nu har jeg slået det op:
"To look at a poem again of couse causes anxiety
In many cases, but that pain a writer must learn to endure,
For without it he will be like a chicken which never knows what it is doing
And goes feathering and fluttering through life ...
( ... )
Such have my sympathy but not my praise. My sympathy because
Such work is difficult, and some persons accomplish nothing whatsoever
In the course of their lives; at least these poets are writing
"First versions," but they can never win the praise
Of a discerning reader until they take large-hearted Revision to bed
And win her to their cause and create through her "second-time-around" poems
Or even "third-time-around" ones ... "
Koch fungerede i en årrække som underviser i poesi, og han har bl.a. udgivet en glimrende, lille introduktionsbog med den aldeles vidunderlige titel "Making Your Own Days". På dansk findes digtudvalget "Et tog kan skjule et andet - og andre digte", udgivet af Basilisk i 2001.
