A Language for Nature: Merwin on Environmentalism

"Blake said the object of being human is to learn how to be human. And we might not be able to be human in time," said W. S. Merwin, who will succeed Kay Ryan as the nation's 17th poet laureate. Merwin has long been an engaged speaker on behalf of the environment. In 1992, he gave a speech on the Wao Kele o Puna, the largest remaining lowland rainforest in Hawaii—which, through the efforts of local activists like himself, has since become a protected habitat. Listen to Merwin's speech or read the transcript, both newly added to Poets.org.

Pleasure, Pure and Simple: Donald Revell on Poetry and Purity

"A pure poem is unresisting in its inclusiveness, having excluded from itself the arguments that tether its figures of speech," writes Donald Revell in "Purists Awake," an essay examining poems by American poets Hart Crane, Joseph Ceravolo, and Barbara Guest. Drawing on the insights of French poets Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Valéry, Revell explores why purity "turns out to be, in its uncontrollable, careless diversity, perfectly suited to an American ideal."

Poetry & Film: Polito on Cinematic Writing

"From Griffith on, poetry and the movies have stalked an ongoing conversation of mutual affinities and refractions, sources and collisions, analogues and renunciation."
