[Ric Masten] knew what he really wanted people to call him. "I'm an ordained troubadour minister in the Unitarian church, and I've got an honorary doctorate from CSUMB," he told me while standing atop a piney Big Sur ridge near the land where he built his family's home. A giggle glowed in his eyes, as it often did. "I want people to call me 'reverend doctor/ Then I'll get business cards that say, 'Rev. Dr. Ah Soh.' Locally his First Night Monterey appearances were frequently the most popular components of the manylayered events. He published 23 books, right up until his death. The latest of his franchise of drawings and paired poetry, Ric Masten: Words and One-Liners, came out this month; Going Out Dancing: Poems will appear June 6.

Gioia was recognized during his term as head of the National Endowment for the Arts for his focus on reawakening interest in classic forms and figures, for the wave of renewed interest in Shakespeare in the schools his programs have brought about, for his workshops for war participants, and for many other programs that seek to revitalize interest in serious literature on a broad-based level. In his essay "Can Poetry Matter?" he argues for a number of techniques and devices that could help bring poetry back to the reading public, including a shift away from the professorial type of reading toward mixed evenings of poetry and music, poetry and art, poets reading others' work as well as their own, and a general opening wide of the narrow room he believed the art had stuffed itself into by...

The SOMOS Summer Writers' Series continues on Friday (Aug. 17) at the Harwood Museum of Art. It's billed as a "Triple Treat!" with poets Dana Levin and Mark Scott. Electric cellist Michael Kott will weave solos between sets. "Poetry is a searchlight that shines into each of us, our darkest places, those things we often leave unsaid because we can't find the words," said series curator Magdalene Smith. "Well, a poet's job is to find those words and cast that light. What I love about these two poets is that they are down to earth, gritty almost in their unflinching observations." Levin will be reading from her book, "Wedding Day" (Copper Canyon, 2005), as well as some recent work. "My parents died in quick succession in 2002, which spurred an investigation into death, from forensic anthro...

For Thomas, God was a deus absconditus, a God who had not only hidden himself from men, but a God who could only be known through the presence of His absence, His absent "presence" - an absence and, therefore, by default, a "presence" that, for Thomas, was as long-standing as the history of Christianity, an absent presence that was a constant theme throughout his poetry, as it no doubt was in his life.\n It is not surprising, however, to see why Thomas was drawn to Jeffers and to this poem, and why he chose to include this particular poem in his anthology.

Plumly describes Joseph Severn's relationship with John Keats. Severn's attitude toward Keats was an attitude that both focuses and blurs Severn's vision of his friend over the years, making him sometimes a reliable, sometimes an unreliable narrator, which places him, as a witness and memoirist of Keats, between his commitment as a nurse and his middling talent as an artist.

In 1981, nationally renowned poet Denise Levertov bemoaned the premature death of Bert Meyers. His death, she wrote, "has deprived us of one of the finest poets of our time. Meyers, who had died two years earlier, had published several collections, including Early Rain (1960) and The Dark Birds (1968). When he realized that his emphysema had developed into cancer, he put together a slim volume of the poems he considered his best and titled it In a Dybbuk's Raincoat. The never-published manuscript included his poem "To My Enemies." In it, he sees himself dying. The poem originally appeared in the collection The Wild Olive Tree, published in 1979, the year of his death. The dybbuk is a creature in Jewish folklore, through which the dead can possess the living. The poem reads in part:
