Mr. Lattimore Introduces

Latest Poems in Reading

by Anne Lougren

“If there is a poem for a vision
of Greek islands or Aphrodite rising.
from the sea, there is algo a poem
for the junked locomotive, the —
day of travel, or old drunks in
tavern, pot to mention death id

“the “nuclear threat.” “This introdut-"

tion to Richmond Lattimore’s latest -
hook of poetry also keynoted his
diversified poetry reading last Wed-_
nesday.

“The dirty day of travel” was the

"subject of two of his poems.. The

first, “Lodging for the Night,” was
a narrative of the author’s arrival

in Verona, where ‘the current opera. .

season made accommodations im-
possible to find.. The second poem
was also concerned with the “fa-
tigues of travel,” but, as.Mr. Latti-

~-more hastily added, “mainly-with the,

dirt!” “Apologies to Creston” per-
sented not only-a clean little city,

~“senéwhere in Nebraska on» Route *

66,” but also the lack of communi-
cation between .“fellow-passengers”
and the forced. departmentalization

—~of events in “the passage of -our

life.”
“The Father” shows.Ruiz Picasso,

the old painter, supplanted by his -

brliliant son. And as the “unbeliev-
able son” took over. his father’s
paint brushes, the old fashioned
paintings of pigeons and lilacs gave
way to a new “universe of meager
blue harlequins, angled cubes becom-
ing musicians, bitterly. sharpened
bulls, and naked desirable shapes of
what age makes for consolation
..”.°The poem ended then, with a
question: where can one “handle the
brown feathers of such a bird as
fathered this phoenix?”
* Another poem familiar to many
in the audience was the short mar-

comedians regularly did in-the part.

Pamela Goold was a dignified, moth-

erly, warm-hearted, forceful Coun- °

tess—a tour de force for an under-
graduate. Munson Hicks as the

witty old lord, Lafeu, was equally

successful in impersonating a char-
acter twice or thrice his age; he

read -clearly and made the.most of

his laughs. . Terry Van Brunt as
the King of France was robustly
unconvincing as an elderly man at
death’s door, but excellent after his
miraculous restoration to health; in
controlling Bertram and in keeping
the action moving; he spoke the epi-
logue charmingly... Carol Schrier as
the widow gave a fie, interpreta-
tion and as already ‘hoted Roian
Fleck as Diana was attractive, pois-
ed, and audible—andther potential
show-stealer. Howard Bush as La-
vache mide the most of the foolery
so trying to many modern auditors.

Above all, these young people
spoke the verse beautifully—a com:
pliment to their talent and Mr. But-
man’s training. And Professor Ar-
thur Sprague, in whose honor the

play was given,»thanked-them in a.
brief but eloquent curtain speech -

and was warmly thanked in turn for
his long’ and inspiring service’ to

riage poem, “Anniversary.” This
short poem captures the joy of a
far-off wedding day as it is remem-
bered twenty years later. Mr. Lat-
.timore selected this poem for the

new poetry anthology, Poet's Choice. °

states, “pseudo-philosophical”) vers-
es.
Those who enjoyed Mr.  Latti-
more’s “Sestina. for a Far-Off Sum-
mer” especially appreciated ~ his
translation of “A Strict Lady
Strictly Kept,” a sestina. by the
French writer Armand Daniel. In
translation, the intricate pattern of
words occurring at the end of each
line was retained throughout the
seven stanza poem. . The graceful

a geninue “Skeleton in the Closet.”
The title was indeed no time-worn
cliché, but_rather..the designation of
one nineteenth century philosopher,
who sat in a London cabinet with
chalky bones and a waxen head. The
second more-or-less phitosophical
verse was entitled “Cartesian Mo-

ents. ”
AGERE new poem read was a

‘memoir of Crawfordsville, Indiana,

with the unlikely title “Wabash

- Blues.”

Mr. Lattimore also read two
poems on “that forbidden subject,
the composition of poetry,” “Spider,”
and “Wellhead.” Other poems read
included “Ship Bottom,” “A. Theme
from Thomas Hobbes,” and “New
Homes,” (the latter With deference
to Mrs. McCaffery);
