[676] Eating Poetry
Guest poem sent in by Terry Smith <terry@>
Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.
The librarian does not believe what she sees.
Her eyes are sad
and she walks with her hands in her dress.
The poems are gone.
The light is dim.
The dogs are on the basement stairs and coming up.
Their eyeballs roll,
their blond legs burn like brush.
The poor librarian begins to stamp her feet and weep.
She does not understand.
When I get on my knees and lick her hand,
she screams.
I am a new man.
I snarl at her and bark.
I romp with joy in the bookish dark.

I submitted another Mark Strand poem some time ago
(poem #453), so
I'll forego any biographical info except to say there's a short
bio at http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/0/0,5716,366991,00.html
and the author won a pulitzer prize in 1999 for his book "A
Blizzard of One" (http://www.pulitzer.org/year/1999/poetry/works)
I was given this poem by way of introduction to Strand, and while
he isn't the boldest poet currently writing, he deserves his
reputation as one of the best. In this poem, there's a hint of
the poetry being the source of light in the library that I love,
and "bookish dark" has a familiar smell to it. I have to admit,
however, I don't understand the reference to the dogs on the
stairs. Perhaps there is someone on the list with some good
ideas?

From: mderagon <mderagon@>
I think the dog reference is beautiful and whether it brings with it a sense
of animalistic instinct that the narrator has found from the ink of poetry
or whether it talks of the freedom with which poetry unleashes Eye don't
think it matters--this poem screams for freedom and devourment of the dark
bookish world these verses have been locked up in. They are busting off the
shelves and the vitalis is creeping up from the basement, as dogs burning
through the ice of ennui.
From: David Wright <David.Wright@>
These dogs, they are perhaps the spirit released from the poets words, the anima unleashed from text, the life of verse reconstituted into breath, impulse and image... Something like this. Few things seem quite so spontaneous and enthused as dogs. This is no actual librarian, but the librarian and the dogs are something like the tension of language itself, on the one hand to signify and classify and capture, and on the other hand to express, to embody, to sing... ...both of which create meaning.
Then again, speaking as a flesh-and-blood librarian who has been on the receiving end of psychotic behavior, maybe they're just dogs. Stranger things have happened, in MY bookish dark.
-David Wright
From: Lgemini615@
I understood this poem to be about the woman's sexual desires that surface
hence the dogs in the basement. The freudian "id" of the woman sexual
desires are trying to surface but she is ignoring it,"the poems are gone"
could refer to her past lovers that left her and she has dimmed her desires
for lust until desire licks her hand convincing her to give in and she
screams her resistance. And the last stanza shows that she does and
masterbates to the sexual desires she has.

W/R the dogs in Strands poem. Perhaps the poet meant that his poems are
dogging' him [to hound, keep at the heels of]. Perhaps they drive him to
write. Dogs are also loyal companions to man. Perhaps he sees poetry in this
light, too. =0D
