This is essential viewing. Well worth a watch if you're inquisitive about poetry, and what poetry actually consistent with, all things considered.

Wonderful. Is there a list somewhere of the featured commentators? Some I do not recognize

“And Bertrand Russell was making statements.” I’m gracious to be able to view this. Poetry and I eloped recently. I don’t hear great poets speak very often. So it doesn’t take much.

Bertrand Russell merely "making statements"... =D

Uma pequena curiosidade... Jorge Mautner foi secretário do Robert Lowell enquanto esteve em NYC. Um encontro memorável!

Lowell was such an interesting man. And he was an excellent reader of his own poems. I had seen this documentary before, elsewhere, and more than once, but it seems always worth another look. He was married three times, and each of his wives was a talented and successful writer. Elizabeth Hardwick, novelist and critic, is probably the best known, especially for Americans. Her novel "Sleepless Nights" is a minor classic, well worth reading. Lowell and everyone around him could be a field of study unto themselves, there's so much there, so much to them. And so it's always good to have this doc here, close at hand. Lowell might be interesting to track, too, Boston, Back Bay, Marlborough Street. Thanks again, Paul.

"Excellent reader of his own poems." I agree. I didn't really enjoy his poems until I heard him read them himself. Now I imitate his voice when I read them to myself and I enjoy them more.

Yes, sir. I agree on all points. I don't know what it is, what he did, but his voice has real presence and brings his poems to life. It's almost as if you can hear how they sounded to him as he was writing them, and after having written them. You can almost hear the full process of creation. Which makes sense, because he was the only one who ever knew the complete history of the poem, from inspiration to publication and beyond. It might be a good idea to memorize one. I've enjoyed memorizing poems, but never one of his. Edit: It would be fun to see someone, a poet/comedian, do impressions of Great Poets. Now and then we see a poet, like Donald Hall, "do" Robert Frost, briefly. A good impressionist imitating Eliot or Dylan Thomas might be hilarious.

Oh,I’m think the author of The Mountain Lion is quite well known to readers 😫 Jean Stafford was extremely successful.

“Minor classic”. What arrogant crap.

Poor choice of words, perhaps. I think I was referring to its relatively small readership and to its relative obscurity. I first read it in the Seventies and have reread it at least twice since. I admire Elizabeth Hardwick very much, and intended no condescension to her or her work. You seem to have a "minor" problem with arrogance, yourself.

Why does Lowell sound like he’s from The South? I see Walcott picked up on that, too.

He knew a lot of Southerners in his formative years--his teachers Allen Tate & John Crowe Ransom, his friend Peter Taylor. He also did a year of graduate school at LSU.
