    Extractions: In 1616 Ben Jonson was named England's first poet laureate; however, the title did not become an official royal office until 1668, when John Dryden assumed the honored post. Since that time, the office has been awarded for life. The poet laureate is responsible for composing poems for court and national occasions. At the time of each laureate's death, it is the duty of the prime minister to nominate successors from which the reigning sovereign will choose. It is the Lord Chamberlain who appoints the poet laureate by issuing a warrant to the laureate-elect. The life appointment is always announced in the London Gazette Laureateship Poet Birth - Death Dates John Dryden Thomas Shadwell Nahum Tate Nicholas Rowe Laurence Eusden Colley Cibber William Whitehead Thomas Warton Henry James Pye Robert Southey William Wordsworth Alfred, Lord Tennyson Alfred Austin Robert Bridges John Masefield Cecil Day-Lewis Sir John Betjeman Ted Hughes (b. 1930)-98 * The 1757 appointment was declined by Thomas Gray. ** The 1850 appointment was declined by Samuel Rogers.

Born in 1921 and raised in rural Iowa, smack dab in the middle of the country, her parents allowed her to attend college only after she won a scholarship from Iowa State Teachers College (now the University of Northern Iowa). Earning a B.A. in 1942, she then enrolled at the University of Iowa, earning her M.A. in 1943. The same year she married a fellow student who was to become her husband of over 60 years, Jarvis Thurston . After a few years in Louisville at the University of Kentucky, where they founded

    Extractions: Home Page Anthony Hecht, Howard Nemerov—some of our finest poets died in 2004. The one I grieve the most is Mona Van Duyn (b. 1921), whose poems mine ordinary experiences—a trip to the car wash, a bout of minor illness—for rich ore. Masterfully eclectic, she wrote personal poems, philosophical poems, playful poems, poems in form and free verse, long meditations and “sonnets for minimalists.” For the eclecticism alone, I’d consider Van Dyne a spiritual mother, but I also feel connected to the circumstances of her life. As a child, she suffered shaming and intrusiveness at the hands of parents; her hypochondriacal mother indoctrinated her in a religion of fleshly drama and decay. As an adult, she wrote about those parents, ailing and old, balancing old disappointment and new exasperation with patient listening, love and even fascination. She strikes me as a refined woman who was born into coarse circumstances, observed them, felt them, shaped them into poetry—and unless I’m projecting too much, that’s the core thing we shared.
