Nate Marshall: "Poetry is the noticing discipline"
In this episode of HoCoPoLitSo’s The Writing Life, poet Hayes Davis hosts poet, playwright and rap artist Nate Marshall. The two poets discuss the way Covid changed the writing process, coming-of-age poems, fatherhood, and the nature of poetry. Marshall reads “Recycling,” from his first book, The Wild Hundreds, and “Nate Marshall is a white supremacist from Colorado or Nate Marshall is a poet from the South Side of Chicago or I love you Nate Marshall,” from Finna. “Poetry is the noticing discipline,” Marshall said, and then called into the room the late poet Gwendolyn Brooks, who was also from the South Side. “Miss Brooks said ‘poetry is life distilled.’ It’s getting down to a thing’s core elements.” Marshall appeared for HoCoPoLitSo and Howard Community College at the Blackbird Poetry Festival April 25, 2024.

This poem evokes the seaside bravery of young people flinging themselves off a stone pier on the west coast of Ireland. Groarke admired the wholehearted abandon with which swimmers hit the foamy waters below, but said her bravery was in writing about the idea, and would be "far too chicken" to ever try it. Groarke read this poem during an interview in 2019. "Pier" is from her collection, Spindr...

This prose poem describes a moment in a relationship in which a man cannot face a bodily truth about the woman to whom he is attracted. Robert Hass's deceptively simple prose poem tells the story plainly, but the lingering image at the end of the poem complicates the tale. "A Story About the Body" is published in his book Human Wishes, about which a Boston Globe reviewer wrote, "Human Wishes ta...

    Michael Coady is such a gift... and such a loss to the literary world. His explanation, 9 minutes in, of how the tragic, mysterious story of his great-grandfather filtered down through his grandfather, father, and its impact on his own life, is only partial, but nonetheless riveting. "The Use Of Memory" appears in "All Souls" from 1997. VERY visual/visceral must-read stories and poems. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam ❤

    This book "Are You Somebody?" was something I found on a shelf inside of a homeless shelter and I guess I would probably have to say the world is full of nobodies. Imagine that what made her "somebody" appears to be her career. My last job I worked in a call center and all the money I saved for the last five years my mother has managed to find a way to waste it all.

    I had the pleasure of working with Stanley and his darling Elise Asher as a carpenter in NY back in the 70's and 80's. A kinder, more generous, and curious soul I've rarely met in the intervening years. I've had the honor of reciting Stanley's "The Long Boat" at more than one send off to friends and family members. It's a remarkable and indelible song about life and its inevitable end. Thank you, Stanley Kunitz.

The meeting was a pleasure, as well as a privilege, for me. She is one of the reasons I became a poet, myself.
