  16. A painter and a teacher, "Hans Hofmann played a germinal part in the development of advanced American art." Now firmly established as a pathfinding master of Abstract Expressionism, he didn't simply copy an object, saying: “There are bigger things to be seen in nature than the object." artnews.com/art-in-america/fea

  20. This morning I came across a list of things that the poet Kenneth Koch said in the Modern Poetry classes I took with him twenty years ago. I wrote down anything he said that grabbed me--frequently witty, profound, playful, irreverent--a view of the world that won't come around again. I didn't expect to be floored by it twenty years later.

    Part 1 - About Walt Whitman, specifically "Song of Myself":

    Child: Where is Uncle Walt?
    Koch: He's in the backyard looking at grass again.

    --

    "Let's get undisguised!" You want to run away from anyone who says that!

    --

    It's a great loss when you think about it--when you stand up you don't have a lap.

    --

    Nobody would want to be in a room with someone who talks like this. (About part 12 of "Song of Myself").

    --

    Whitman: I don't just love the horse, I AM the horse.

    --

    Child: Where's Uncle Walt?
    Koch: He has a date with the planet. (About p. 45)

    --

    Do people still drink chocolate sodas in this troubled age?

    --

    Whitman: Damn I like this cow better than all these people!

    (About p. 56)

    --

    (On Whitman's verbosity)

    I love the rain forest, but there are too many vines!

    --

    (On imitating Whitman)

    Boast about something. Then make it incomprehensible what it is you're boasting about.

    --

    Part 2 - About W. B. Yeats

    (On "The Wild Swans at Coole")

    You turn your head and it's all gone. But it's still gone if you don't turn your head. That's the sad thing.

    --

    Part 3 - About Ezra Pound

    (On Pound's poetry in general)

    You have to take some kind of drug to keep you from getting angry when you don't understand it. This drug is love of poetry, and I can sell you some.

    --

    (Discussing "The Garden")

    What you need is a divorce and a horse.

    --

    (Responding to a student's claim that a woman who appears bored at a bar is sexy)

    I must go down to the bars again.

    --

    Do you know my friend Joanna? She's dying piecemeal of a sort of emotional anemia!

    (Explaining the raw, almost sadistic character of that Pound line)

    --

    Part 4 - About Wallace Stevens

    (On people who appreciate poetry)

    You can use emotional words. The kids down the street can't do that.

    --

    (On "Notes toward a supreme fiction")

    Of course the poem is difficult.

    --

    Part 5 - About Emily Dickinson

    (On "I heard a fly buzz when I died")

    It's okay to move and be friendly, it's the millennium!

    --

    (On "We Like March")

    It's March, what a great time to die!

    --

    (On "Because I could not stop for death")

    This poem is really scaring me today.

    --

    Part 6 - About Gerard Manley Hopkins

    If you find yourself feeling stupid when you read "I caught this morning morning's minion," stop and wait until you feel smart and attractive again.

    --

    Part 7 - About Dylan Thomas

    You don't usually see people being this frisky with the English language. Welcome to modern poetry.

    --

    Part 8 - About Arthur Rimbaud

    Does anybody still wear angora?

    --

    Part 9 - About Gertrude Stein

    (On imitating Stein--turning a normal statement into something wacky)

    This makes something very lovely that you can take home to your parents and say, "see, you didn't waste all that money on Columbia."

    --

    Part 10 - Other observations

    Being a good poet is like being a Cleveland poet.

    --

    (On how grades don't match understanding)

    Lower your grades slightly to understand where you really are. You'll all get decent grades. You're spoiled, privileged students at an Ivy League school that suffers from grade inflation. In the old days we had to walk barefoot, from Brooklyn.

    --

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me--sharing, what a terrible word!

    --

    (Earlier he had thought that he lost his keys, and had reported this to the class. A student offered him her cell phone, which he used to call home. After the call, he reported:)

    Well you'll all be pleased to know that my keys are safe at home and not in the hands of a desperado.

    --

    (In response to a student)

    You and I are flirting with mental illness, because I felt the same way.

    --

    Have you noticed that the past is very grabby?

    --

    (On bad poetry)

    Oh, my dear students, you have no idea how much bad poetry there is, and how BAD it is.

    --

    (Requesting students' help for a poetry reading that night)

    It's not a very burdensome task, it's just dancing, and singing, and
    unfolding chairs.

    --

    (On death)

    Everything dies. I'm sorry.
