In reviewing the Hudson Review,/em>'s history of publishing
poetry in translation since 1948, the editors have compiled a
collection that highlights the work of major American and English
poets, most of whom are prominent in their own right, who, for the
last half-century, have made accessible through their translations
the work of their international colleagues.
This first collection of literary essays by a founder and leading
poet-critic of the New Narrative/New Formalist revival explores the
relationship between poetry and religion, the legacies of Wallace
Stevens, Robert Frost, E. A. Robinson, Robinson Jeffers, and Donald
Justice.
With characters ranging from the desperate to the obsessive to the
wildly comic, Mark Anthony Jarman's 19 Knives employs dazzling
linguistic verve and staggering metaphoric powers in every
sentence. But Jarman doesn't just write about people, he puts us in
their skin so that we feel their frailty and courage. No other
contemporary Canadian short-story writer slices up the imaginative
excitement, cultural hybridity, and Joycean play of language we see
in 19 Knives. With one of the stories shortlisted for the U.S.'s
prestigious O. Henry Prize and several others having won prizes or
been published in magazines and journals across North America, this
collection brings a major fiction writer to the fore.

The extraordinary "Knife Party" is from a new collection of stories
by Mark Anthony Jarman titled Knife Party at the Hotel Europa,
published in the spring of 2015. Published on the occasion of Goose
Lane Editions's 60th anniversary, it is also part of the six@sixty
collection.
Mark Jarman, author of the narrative poem "Iris" and the lyric
sequence "Unholy Sonnets, " is a poet associated with the revival
of narrative and traditional form in contemporary American poetry.
In "Body and Soul" he considers poetry from the Renaissance to the
present in essays that touch on the importance of religion, place,
and personal experience to poetry and reflect Jarman's particular
interests. His focus is on the relationship between lyric and
narrative, song and story, in poems of all kinds. He considers the
poem as a record of both body and soul, and examines his own life,
in an extended autobiographical essay, as a source for the stories
he has told in his poetry.
The essays "Where Poems Take Place" and "A Shared Humanity"
consider the relation between setting or situation and
representation. The psychological roots of narrative are considered
in "The Primal Storyteller." But the main interest of these essays
is how and why narrative is used as a form. The influence of
Robinson Jeffers's style of narrative is argued in "Slip, Shift,
and Speed Up: The Influence of Robinson Jeffers's Narrative
Syntax." In "The Trace of a Story Line" an argument is made that
the poets Philip Levine and Charles Wright employ narration or
storytelling in their poetry as a mode of meaning. Other essays
consider Donald Davie, Philip Larkin, Herbert Lomas, Louis Simpson,
Lyn Hejinian, Tess Gallagher, and Ellen Bryant Voigt.
Mark Jarman's poetry has appeared in many publications, including
the "American Poetry Review" and the "New Yorker." He has won the
Lenore Marshall/Nation Prize of the Academy of American Poets, a
Guggenheim fellowship, and multiple grants from the National
Endowment for the Arts. He is Professor of English, Vanderbilt
University.
