A recent essay titled "A Deeper Consideration" by the poet, essayist and journalist, Clive James explores the virtues of concision, reflection, and thought in poetry as opposed to mere wordy surface glitter or confessional self-expression. James discusses the works of the American poet Samuel Menashe (b. 1925( to illustrate his claims of what is valuable in poetry. Here is a short poem by Menashe titled "Beachhead" that James carefully discusses."The tide ebbsFrom a helmetWet sand embeds"Menashe served as an infantryman during WW II at the Battle of the Bulge. Other than this poem, Menashe wrote little about his war experiences. Yet. James properly observes that "there is a whole war" in these tight three lines. James continues: "[The poet] makes his war a nation's war. The deeper consideration is that he was one among many, and, unlike too many, he lived to speak. That he speaks so concisely is a condition of his testament: consecration and concentration are the same thing. This is a world away from the expression of the self. This is bedrock."Born to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Menashe described his poetical influences as the short poems of William Blake and the Hebrew Bible. He was an obscure figure in American poetry until the Poetry Foundation established a "Neglected Masters Award" for Menashe on the occasion of his 80th birthday. At the same time, the American Poets Project, part of the Library of America, published this volume of Menashe's "New and Selected Poems" in 2005, with a short essay by Menashe, quotations from various poets on his work, and an introduction by Christopher Ricks. In 2008, the American Poets Project edition was expanded to include ten additional poems. I am using the 2008 edition in this review.Menashe's poetry is short, deeply thought through, and filled with meaning. It doesn't categorize well as either modernist or traditional. The poems are generally in brief lines with every word, and the form, telling. The poems often rhyme in part and make great use of alliteration, homynyms,and suggestion. Some of the poems celebrate the everyday. They frequently are set in New York City where Menashe has lived in the same unpretentious walk-up flat since the early 1950s. But many of the poems are rural, set in woods, fields, or near the water. Death, including the poet's pending death (Menashe is still active), his friends, and his mother's is a preoccupation. Love and love affairs are described, if only elliptically. Some of the poems are whimsical. Most of poetry reaches out beyond its few words to show a concern for spiritual questions.Here is a poem titled "Windows: Old Widow" which several contributors to the American Poets Project volume use to illustrate the character of Menashe's art."There is a pillowOn the window sill --Her elbow room --In the twin windowEnclosed by a grillPlants in pots bloomOn the window sill"I want to quote two poems out of many that I particularly liked that I have not seen referred to by other writers on Menashe. The first, set in New York City, as is the above poem, is titled "Tenement Spring"."Blue month of May, make usLight as laundry on linesWind we do not see, mind usEarly in the morning"The second poem is untitled and is part of a series of little poems that comment upon Biblical passages."Leah bribed JacobWith mandrake rootsTo make himLie with herTake my poems"Menashe's poems reminded me of the short poetry of Charles Reznikoff (1894 -- 1976). Like Menashe, Reznikoff was born to immigrants from Eastern Europe. Reznikoff wrote in obscurity for years in a style that was both concentrated and highly personal. Like Menashe, Reznikoff lived in New York City, and many of his poems have an urban setting. And both writers show a strong Jewish influence even though neither appears traditionally religious.Readers interested in modern poetry that is slightly off the beaten path will love this collection of Menashe's poems. As with much else, the Library of America is to be commended for publishing this volume and making Menashe's work available.The essay by Clive James discussed in this review is taken from the September 2010 issue of "Poetry" magazine.Samuel Menashe died on August 22, 2011.Robin Friedman
Powerful. Very short poems; every word counts. Menashe's work is totally unique: no one else that I've ever read does such short poems --some are only a few lines -- but they are the very essence of poetry-- the concentration of each word. Words fail me cause I'm NOT a poet; but his work is terrific.
Menashe is of no school. His mastery of language is as good or better than any poetic contemporary. If Blake was writing now it would be somethink akin
I discovered this poet through a blog called "37 Days." So glad I looked for his book and ordered it: it's fabulous! His work is so spare yet so profound. I find it hard to describe or write about poetry (well, I used to do it when in college in the dark ages...) because it speaks for itself.I recommend this book and this poet with no reservations. If you are a poet, you will love it. If you love poetry, you will appreciate this stunning work.
I love this poet, such economy of word, but this book is a meager showing of his work, and therefore, overpriced. Maybe there isn't much to publish? Poetry Magazine gave Menashe $50,000. just before he died. Finally, recognition. Did early grad student readers/judges screen him out because he had no U Iowa credentials?
Discovered this poet in my reading......interesting......wanted to see what his stuff was like....poetry is so subjective....it is good but not my cup of tea especially....I will probably just pass it on to someone else to see if they care for it.
Well I must say that it is about time this poet, Samuel Menashe is receiving some of the recognition in this country he so richly deserves. Long known in Britain and other European countries, this American poet, who has lived most of his life in New York has had, for me, a bewildering problem having his work published in the United States, and certainly he falls into the category, as awarded by the Poetry Foundation - American Poets Project, as the winner of the Neglected Masters Award.It is quite difficult to find a pidgin hole in which to thrust Menashe's work into and I hate to try as I am quite averse to stuffing anything but pidgins into pidgin holes. His writing has been described as "spiritual," which indeed it is, but it certainly cannot be categorized as religious. His poems have been noted to be "Zen Like," which I suppose indeed they are. One of the problems of using either spiritual or Zen like is that both word mean so many different things to so many different people. Zen has been used to describe everything from golf to motorcycle repair and beyond, and spiritual is such a overused "buzz word," that I hate to apply it to a work that is...well, so different.I suppose I will use "contemplative and profound," which seems vague enough for my purposes in this review. I suppose the reader of Menashe's work can pick Zen like, spiritual, contemplative, profound, or if all else fails, make up their own descriptive word or description. Which ever you pick, I am sure it will work for you.I do know that the author of these poems is a word miser, or perhaps it would be better stated that he gets more mileage out of a single word than most poets get out of five or six pages. Sparse, bare to the bone, total impact, stunning and well...thoughtful....you really have to read this stuff to fully grasp the wonder of this writer's words and thoughts. In 1960 he wrote:AlwaysWhen I was a boyI lost things -I am stillForgetful -Yet I daresayAll will be foundOne dayIn 2006 he wrote:AlwaysWhen I was a boyI lost things -I am stillForgetful -Yet I daresayAll will be lostOne dayAutobiography:Who is motherOf more than oneIs not the sameAs the motherOf an only sonWho never becameAnyone's father -still only a sonAs an old man -What I have not doneMade me who I am.It is said that some of this mans work is of the rhyming mode and that is so but do take note that we never ever see silly rhyming couplets set mindlessly to paper. Rather than "rhyming" I prefer to use the word "rhythm" which I feel is a better description. There is a rhythm to this work and it is most noticeable, as with all poetry, when read aloud. Rather amazing stuff, really.Even though the author was a rifleman in the heat of things during the Battle of the Bulge, we are not talking any war poems here. On the other hand, no human I know could live through an experience like that and not be affected in some way and indeed, this does show thorough here and there in his poetry. The issue of death is well addressed, but on the other hand, so is life.I first became aware of Menashe's work in the late 1960s, or perhaps it was the early 1970s...years now blur for me and I have difficulty pinpointing a specific chronologic time and rely more and more on events to place things. I do know that when I first heard his work I was selling a pint of blood a week as we were quite broke and the good people at the blood bank were paying me fifteen dollars; a fortune for us at the time. During one of our weekly get-togethers, a young lady friend of ours read several of his poems from a book she had purchased somewhere in Europe and I remember that it had quite an impact on not only myself, but all the others that were together at that time. Since then I have run across bits and pieces of his work scattered here and there, but always in small doses. You cannot imagine the thrill I had when I came across this wonderful volume...At last, a full helping! It has been wonderful!Do yourself a big time favor and go out an buy a copy of this one, or check it from the library, or go ahead and steal one (as long as it is not my copy), it will be will worth your time and any risk that may be involved. I find this work is best read in the quite of the night or before a long run or bike trip...it gives you something to mull over and it is quite bewildering what this mans words can conjure up in your mind.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks
Here is one of the great poets of our age. Don't let the brevity of his works fool you. Menashe is writing on a mighty and universal scale.
