Heather McHugh : The Poetry Foundation

The judges commented that “Paul Celan is arguably the most important European poet of the twentieth century, but much of his work has seemed too hermetic, linguistically complex, and bound to his struggle with the German language in the aftermath of the Shoah to be translatable.
. . .
The poet’s continuing lyrical dilemma is the difficulty of making sense of our senses, making peace with our pieces, and this book may be her clearest outpouring of earnest doubt yet.” Publisher’s Weekly described the poems in Eyeshot as in “in a state of near-constant overstimulation,” the musings of “hyper-attentive intelligencer [who] at times must struggle simply to stay afloat: ‘Sight... sponsors far/ too much detail (exhaustive is exhausting!).’” The book was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize.
. . .
Judge, National Poetry Series book award, 1986 and 1993, and of Poetry Society of America book award, 1987.
. . .
In 2009 she was awarded a MacArthur “Genius Grant.” She has taught for many years at the University of Washington-Seattle, where she is the Milliman Distinguished Writer-in- Residence, and as visiting faculty member in the MFA program at Warren Wilson College.

The Village Voice Literary Supplement called her poems “open, resilient, invisibly twisted; part safety-net, part trampoline.” As its title suggests, McHugh’s eighth collection contains poems which tackle grave subject matter—often loss and detachment—but with her trademark quick-wit and verbal dexterity intact.

Poems - Heather McHugh

Among Italian writers we could recognize our counterparts: the academic, the apologist, the arrogant, the amorous, the brazen and the glib.
. . .
If he's the wind, I must be moonshine driven in wavelengths to rock.
. . .
When the star-shower crosses the carnival sky, then the blues of the crowd try to glisten, to match it; and two who work late in the butcher-house touch, reaching just the same moment for glue and for hatchet.
. . .
It's a dog's life I myself must lead, day in, day out--with never a Sunday edition-- while they lie around on their couches like poets, and ponder the human condition.
. . .
"If God is not the soul itself, he is the soul OF THE SOUL of the world." Such was his heresy.
. . .
NOT TO BE DWELLED ON Self-interest must have cropped up even there, the day I hoisted three instead of the normally-called-for two spadefuls of loam onto the coffin of my friend.

Flesh for Fantasy Talking to Heather McHugh about her Vesalius essay in Poetry.
. . .
The narrator's conclusion that "poetry is what//he thought, but did not say" is a powerful expression of McHugh's love of language and her investigation of its limits.
. . .
Many of her central concerns and characteristic style can be sampled in these recordings.
. . .
Beginning with amusing social observation of American poets (herself among them) posturing their way through a reading tour of Italy, the poem deepens to a profound examination of "What's poetry?".
. . .
But she marries intellectual brilliance with a compassion "that is more nearly perfect for it has nothing to do with pity," (Richard Howard).

You'd think slap-happy waves might hush at such soft-sanded touches.

It is the way I love life, is to make sure I'm on some kind of civilized terms with death.
