Poet Laureate Mona Van Duyn Dies at 83
By Matt Schudel Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, December 4, 2004; Page B06 Mona Van Duyn, whose lyrics of love, everyday life and the transcendent power of art made her one of the nation's most honored poets, as well as the first woman to be named poet laureate of the United States, died Dec. 2 of cancer at her home in St. Louis. She was 83. She wrote with the sensibility of a small-town midwesterner who was married for more than 60 years, combining the thoughts and humor of ordinary people with elegant poetic forms. Her poems often ended with a subtle insight of universal human concern.
Mona Van Duyn, a midwesterner whose work was narrow in scope, often was called a "domestic poet," though she disliked it. (AP)

Firefall


Three Valentines to the Wide World
I
The child disturbs our view. Tow-head bent, she
stands on one leg and folds up the other. She is listening
to the sound of her fingernail on a scab on her knee.
If I were her mother I would think right now of the chastening
that ridiculous arrangement of bones and bumps must go through, and that big ear too, till they learn what to do and hear. People don't perch like something seen in a zoo or in tropical sections of Florida. They'll have to buy her a cheap violin if she wants to make scraping noises. She is eight years old. What in the world could she wear that would cover her hinges and disproportions? Her face is pointed and blank, the brows as light as the hair. "Mother, is love God's hobby?" At eight you don't even look up from your scab when you ask it. A kid's squeak, is that a fit instrument for such a question?

burst in frantic flower.
