We will not understand Stafford's ac- complishment if we do not recognize how intensely he practiced his writer's discipline. Every morning starting in CPS, he would get up at 4:30 am to give himself the day's first hours to write. This free writing invited the words and images to emerge as they would, to become later backbone and limbs of a poem. The government owned his time from after breakfast through the rest of the day, but early morning was all his. That is an act of self-assertion, maybe even of defiance, but above all of openness to creative energy, "the flow of my inner life." Out of this spirit of silent waiting and invitation he wrote at least a poem a day virtually his whole life. When asked what he did if the poems thus produced did not meet his highest standards, Stafford...

• The Invisible Man

With just a few moments to spare, Bolt and O'Brien decide to use this month's Travel Tips segment to honor the installation of the Statue of Liberty-"Does anyone know how that poem goes," asks [Geoff Bolt], "'the 'tired, the poor' thing at the foot of the statue?"-and, it being the day before daylight-saving ends, will revisit a regular bit they do in which [Carl] and [Karl] offer to reset peoples' clocks for them for a small fee. The only hitch is that it sometimes takes C&K six months to return their customers' clocks. In less than 15 minutes, they've improvised a complete eight-minute routine, beginning with the Statue of Liberty bit-"I'm especially moved by the part of the poem that mentions a giant fence to keep the immigrants out," says Bolt as Karl.

• Will, Change, and Power in the Poetry of Adrienne Rich

Seidman comments on the poetry of Adrienne Rich. He stresses that Rich's poetry--her energized, pointed, ongoing, and imaginative discourse of examination, probing its intentions even as it writes out its intentions--is an astonishing chronicle of how it has been for her to be alive right now, which is perhaps one of the few definitions of "radical" that he might be willing to accept.

• Mega-Concert; Britten's Massive 'War Requiem' Will Fill Woolsey Hall Stage with 400

As Shinik Hahm, the music director of the Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale, prepares to conduct the massive "War Requiem" of Benjamin Britten Saturday at 8 p.m. at Woolsey Hall, the rarely performed behemoth anti-war masterpiece touches him personally. Hahm's family suffered greatly during the Korean War. "My parents were forced from North Korea to the south, where I was born and raised. They are still there, separated from all of their families during the war. We still do not know whether the families are alive or not. I have not seen my grandparents, uncles, aunts, nor cousins," he said.
