In another time, The records they left will convince us that we are unchanged And could be at ease in the past, and not alone in the present. And we shall be pleased. But beyond all that, what cannot Be seen or explained will always be elsewhere, always supposed, Invisible even beneath the signs - the beautiful surface, The uncommon knowledge - that point its way. In another time, What cannot be seen will define us, and we shall be prompted To say that language is error, and all things are wronged By representation. The self, we shall say, can never be Seen with a disguise, and never be seen without one. Mark Strand Categories Aboriginal art Against the grain Architecture Art buying ...

Help Stranded: Poet Mark Strand Preaches Political Indifference at UCI Mark Strand is one of the most talented poets currently writing, producing beautiful and evocative lines like: Soon the house, with its shades drawn closed, will send small carpets of lampglow into the haze and the bay will begin its loud heaving and the pines, frayed finials climbing the hill, will seem to graze the dim cinders of heaven. He’s been greatly and justly lauded for his skill; he has served as the nation’s poet laureate and received a Pulitzer Prize for poetry. But to paraphrase another, greater poet, there are more things in heaven and Earth than are evident in Strand’s philosophy. Ostensibly lecturing at UC Irvine on “the future of poetry,” Strand the first recipient of the university’s Nichols Award for Humanities managed the January 27 talk without locating any of the issues confronting contemporary poetry. Indeed, what Strand delivered that evening was Poetry 101, a series of short if mildly amusing parables that attempted to define poetry.

Borges: Influence and References Mark Strand By James Hoff Poet and essayist, Mark Strand was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, but raised and educated primarily in the United States and South America. He is the author of ten books of poetry, including Reasons for Moving The Story of our Lives , and Dark Harbor , as well as a critical analysis of the works of the American painter, Edward Hopper. He has also edited a number of anthologies, including the seminal Another Republic: 17 European and South American Writers , edited with the poet Charles Simic. Also known as a translator, Strand has rendered many Spanish language poets into English verse, and was one of the contributing translators to the newly published Selected Poems , published by Viking press in 1999. His influences are many, and include the Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Wallace Stevens, and of course, Jorge Luis Borges. Strand's style is a wonderful mixture of psychological aberration and nightmarish dream state, punctuated by a stoic, sometimes aloof resignation by the poet. To stare at nothing is to learn by heart what all of us will be swept into, and baring oneself

NONFICTION Mary Lee Allen Michaux Dempster Anna Journey Mark Strand ... David Wojahn MARK STRAND Poetry in the World Days went by. I wrote nothing. I began to think that I should come up with yet another title, but I knew that I'd be giving in to a weakness I had for reduction, that were I to let myself go, I might end up with a title like "A Couple of Words in Space" or "A Syllable in the Woods." In other words, the less inclusive the title, the less I would feel obligated to say anything. But I also knew that without the obligation to speak, I might remain silent. A silent lecture! The ultimate reduction! But, alas, beyond my ability to perform. I decided to stick with "Poetry in the World." Anyway, I put the matter of the talk aside until just a few weeks ago. I ran into one of my students at the local supermarket. He asked me what I was doing. I told him I was writing a lecture which I was to give at the University of California, Irvine, and it was called "Poetry in the World," but its original title was "Humanities and the Public Sphere." "How is it going?" asked the student, whose name was Dick.

You were born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1934. In your poem "My Mother on an Evening in Late Summer" you describe barns, a black bay, fields, bare stones. Is this the same landscape? Can you describe for us your earliest years? Your translations include two volumes of the poems of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, a Brazilian poet. These links to Canada and Brazil bring to mind the poet Elizabeth Bishop, who lived for a time in both places. What are your thoughts about Bishop? I admired Elizabeth Bishop. I have always felt a deep kinship to her poems, a real closeness, probably because I instinctively understood those Nova Scotia poems. She remains for me one of America's greatest poets. I read that your father was a salesman on the move, and you spent your childhood in Halifax, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, and Cleveland, and as a teenager you lived in Columbia, Peru, and Mexico. Do you believe all this relocation had an effect on your voice as a poet? Yes, all that moving definitely influenced my poetry. I seem to be a tourist on planet Earth.

40. In A Dark Time … The Eye Begins To See » Mark Strand I started reading mark strand’s poetry many years ago after I took one of his classes when he was a visiting professor at the University of Washington. http://www.lorenwebster.net/In_a_Dark_Time/category/poets/mark-strand/

October 26, 2001 A small collection of Mark Strand poems or Mark Strand (Bold Type Magazine) When I started teaching poetry several years later, I always handed my students a copy of Eating Poetry as an introduction to my course to dispel any notions that poetry was merely sentimental verses written by lovesick romantics. The ongoing anthrax letter scare reminded me of the following poem. The Mailman It is midnight. He comes up the walk and knocks at the door. I rush to greet him. He stands there weeping, shaking a letter at me. He tells me it contains terrible personal news. He falls to his knees. "Forgive me! Forgive me!" he pleads. I ask him inside. He wipes his eyes. His dark blue suit is like an inkstain on my crimson couch.
