โTime has vindicated the sense that Susan Howe is more the child of New England Transcendentalists than of international Marxist-materialists.โ
Ange Mlinko on Susan Howeโs poetry:

โLieu Vagueโ, a poem by Anne Carson.
www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
Courage is to smile When the doctor jabs the needle Into frightened flesh, thinking (But not saying) โLook, Mother, How brave I am!โ Courage is to see dreams crumble, And then shaking out the dust, To dream again; to apprehend The ambush hidden in the path And still go forward; to explore Within the hidden craters Of your own desires; to submit The working and creations of your mind For public judgment. And courage Is to hope When others have surrendered. And courage Is to face surrender When others hope.
My section of Perceptron opens with a poem written by Frank Rosenblatt. It's one of the few non-technical writings he left after his early and tragic death. It's titled "Courage" and we have it because it was read at his memorial and by virtue of family connections, into the Congressional Record.

That was
The beginning of my obsession with garnets.
When I held them to the light
Their wine just changed.
I bought string after string, but the closest
I got was a hundred-year-old necklace
From the Netherlands.
