Almost everything I know how to do with the line, I learned from absorbing Auden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eES: You never met him?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMK: No. I probably attended a dozen readings he gave, in and around Boston, in his carpet slippers. I worshipped him from afar. Today, it must seem a strange influence, and Anglo-American male. You'd expect I would say--I don't know--but some woman role model. There really was no one at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eES: Marianne Moore?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMK: Hardly. She was inimitable, in the firest sense of that word. And Elizabeth Bishop was just too distant and too classical. But when I was sixteen, I adored Edna St. Vincent Millay; I could say lots of her sonnets by heart, and that was all to the good. Auden exerted an intellectual and visceral influence on me, though, metrically, in terms of rhyme and scansion, and his ability to compress those gifts into images, to make a metaphor of a thought: In the nightmare of the dark \/ All the dogs of Europe bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 10.05 x 7.05 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771505082656,"sku":"9781566891134","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e822a681986f77ce850951133dfb67f8.webp?v=1780387797","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/notes-on-the-possibilities-and-attractions-of-existence-selected-poems-1965-2000-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
