          <lb />Since manTs technology has<lb />chosen to recreate his existence in<lb />sheer mechanical terms, it leaves<lb />most of us in a confused state of<lb />affairs. The apostles of greed<lb />and violence, present in any<lb />mechanical society, seem bent on<lb />overwhelming not only the indi-<lb />vidual but the artistic individual<lb />as well. Perhaps being overpowered<lb />by our own creation doesnTt<lb />bother most of us but it definitely<lb />grates on the nerve of artistic<lb />consciousness. How the artist or<lb />poet reacts in such a situation is<lb />often a curious combination of<lb />Spiritual ecstasy and personal<lb />detachment. Such reactions, in all<lb />probability, will receive less praise<lb />from our society than resentment.<lb /><lb />Of course, we might only<lb />wonder at these reactions. It could<lb /><lb />be said that it is foolish to even<lb />consider artistic forces aligned<lb />with social interests. Even further,<lb />we might wonder whether the<lb />Situation lends itself to the black<lb />and white distinctions we are<lb />making. Choosing up sides on<lb />questions of this kind sounds not<lb />Only absurd but childishly over-<lb />Simplified.<lb /><lb />Yet, a conflict exists and that<lb />cannot be denied or ignored.<lb />To resolve the problem is well<lb />beyond my means but, as | think<lb />these pages point out, the conflict<lb />may be the only meaningful one<lb />left. We must remember that<lb />without conflict, life ceases to be<lb />dramatic and is transformed into<lb />a perpetual yawn of indifference.<lb /><lb /></p>

          <lb />by JohnWallace<lb /><lb />ITve seen that house so often<lb />before"white and gray, big and<lb />A) dirty. ItTs always different, each<lb />time | really see it. But then<lb />everything is that way. Everything<lb />is new when we see it, really see<lb />it. New like truth. We forget so<lb />much and feel so peculiar when we<lb />rediscover what we've forgotten.<lb />Like the sun right now starting<lb />x to move over my hand, or the lines<lb />it makes along the wall and floor.<lb />ITve sat here before at this same<lb />time of day, but it was different.<lb />® ITve never thought of that line of<lb />light and shadow as ITm thinking<lb />of it now. How light on one side<lb />and dark on the other. ItTs all<lb />contrast. What we see, what we<lb />feel. How light, how dark.<lb /><lb />And the trees and bushes,<lb />how individual each leaf seems,<lb />how few the leaves are and how<lb />bare the branches, all at the same<lb />time. The cars pass between these<lb />branches and those across the<lb />street, between this house and<lb />that one, every house divided from<lb />its neighbor by driveways and<lb />streets.<lb /><lb />The warmth of the sun on my<lb />dress. How whitely faded the light<lb />blue seems, and the folds"how<lb />Thaa(cmeelave mm ar-lage))ar-lalemaley i melgey-le<lb />they are. The wrinkles and the<lb /><lb /></p>

          <lb />10<lb /><lb />folds. How different they both are<lb />from each other and for different<lb />reasons. They are what they are.<lb />The folds from my body and the<lb />wrinkles from the material. The<lb />cloth just drapes over my legs<lb />or arms, or over the chair. ...<lb />which isnTt too comfortable but<lb />it serves its purpose like every<lb />economical thing. It fills a space<lb />because no one sits in this room<lb />to watch the cars pass or see the<lb />Singular people, or the paired ones<lb />pass up and down the sidewalks.<lb />When the doorTs open, | can<lb />sometimes hear snatches of the<lb />conversations, the few words that<lb />reach here"the few words, the<lb />few people who walk by in frag-<lb />ments. Sometimes they even walk<lb />by in threes, like these three<lb />windows, one, two, three and yet<lb />the effect is one of one series of<lb />windows joined by casements for<lb />decoration and support, joined as<lb />the groups, the little troups are by<lb />society. Society joins and covers<lb />with clothes and color. Color and<lb />Clothes that like wallpaper cover<lb />the real person, the bones and<lb />studs and the hidden beams.<lb /><lb />The people hidden behind what<lb />they think themselves to be begin<lb />to blend harmoniously. And no<lb />matter what color they wear, thev<lb />never offend the lawn or the trees<lb />or the sidewalks or the pavement,<lb />or the railroad tracks. Colors can<lb />offend in a painting, but they canTt<lb />offend in real life, but paintings<lb />are real life and mismatched<lb />clothes can offend. ItTs only a mat-<lb />ter of nearness, of perspective.<lb /><lb />How far | am away from some<lb />one or something. That house,<lb />that house is setting, a white cul?<lb />tain, a bland backdrop against<lb />which people stand out, against<lb />which they contrast. The visito!<lb />are like bubbles of wax that rise<lb />and fall in one of those funny lam<lb />that never give enough light.<lb />They separate their own shape a!<lb />color for a little while before the)<lb />settle to the bottom like those<lb />creatures in marl and coal.<lb /><lb />And how the atmosphere of tha:<lb />house is like the liquid that hold$<lb />the wax, the balls of wax and the<lb />people, different sizes and differe!<lb />shapes, but all one"all related<lb />if it's only by the front steps or thé<lb />sidewalk or the pavement. They!<lb />all connected and related like t!<lb />leaves and the bushes and the<lb />sun.<lb /><lb />Even the leaves bleach out<lb />like my skirt where the sun hits<lb />them, the sun, moving like people<lb />along a path, up and down and<lb />up its road.<lb /><lb />These windows, this glass, eve!<lb />with its bubbles, remain clear,<lb />unknowing and unseeing althoug"<lb />they allow sight. How humorous<lb />that seems, the glass of our eye !9<lb />like that window. The glass does<lb />nothing but prevent air from<lb />passing through it into this room:<lb />The glass keeps out the outside;<lb />but allows its light and images i?<lb /><lb /></p>

Cars,<lb />radios, television, and even music<lb />make the sun pass with noise and<lb />sound.<lb /><lb />All images reflect on and pass<lb />through glass, and warmth also<lb />passes through because the air in<lb />here is undisturbed, warm like<lb />my hand now the sun its on it"<lb />warmth from energy, warmth<lb />from motion, heat from the people<lb />who move. Branches move in the<lb /><lb />wind without heat perhaps, but<lb />the wind is as good a motivation<lb />for movement as anything. We move<lb />because we want to or think we<lb />want to. Our wants and the wind,<lb />our present and the eternal past,<lb />invisibly passing through windows,<lb />these windows, this altar to the<lb />outside.<lb /><lb />SomeoneTs going into the<lb />house. Oh, no one new, no one<lb /><lb />new. ITm glad | have this room.<lb /><lb />| guess thatTs all | have. ThatTs<lb /><lb />all thatTs left, only the place<lb />where you are, and the only hope<lb />is that you can stay there, that<lb />people wonTt push you out. Be-<lb />cause they will, they will push you<lb />out if you canTt pay. If you canTt<lb />afford to stay, then you must move<lb />on, you must go.<lb /><lb />You canTt afford to pay for life,<lb />and yet you canTt afford not to<lb />live it. ItTs a gift like everything<lb />else, something we play with for a<lb />little while. To play for a while<lb />and be bored, and life does become<lb />boring, too... . if children tire<lb />of gifts, why canTt people tire of<lb />life? Why canTt they just put itina<lb />closet and close the door?<lb /><lb />Close the door. ThatTs such a<lb />nice way of thinking about it.<lb />And this chair isnTt comfortable.<lb />The couch is big enough to stretch<lb />out on.<lb /><lb />But | canTt look out the window,<lb />and | know ITll close my eyes, and<lb />then itTll be my night, but the sun<lb />will still be shining, shining,<lb />shining through the glass, the<lb />three part window, the altar that<lb />really shows life, shows us God.<lb />The beginning on the outside and<lb />the ending on the inside.<lb /><lb />The sofa is more comfortable.<lb />Let me close the blinds and then it<lb />wonTt matter if the sun is still<lb />Shining when | lie down on the<lb />sofa, when | lie down in my own<lb />darkness, when | lie down to close<lb />the door to the silent halls and<lb /><lb />aed<lb /><lb />corridors, when | lie down to sleep.<lb /><lb />11<lb /><lb /></p>

One does not<lb />float through the protagonist's<lb />world with the effortless ease one<lb />was Carried from the beginning<lb />of creation to the resurrection of a<lb />new world in o2001.?<lb /><lb />A Clockwork Orange makes an<lb />entirely different statement, a<lb />statement that reinforces the heart<lb />and its consequential battle with<lb />the forces of the intellect. But<lb />it is the heart and the head that<lb />have given the world symphonic<lb />orchestras capable of Supporting<lb />art and beauty, totalitarianism,<lb />and violence. The heart and the<lb />head designed public housing<lb />complexes that owe allegiance, at<lb />best, to inhumanity.<lb /><lb />The intellect tries to bring Alex<lb />in line with the standardization of<lb /><lb />wealth that built the pyramids,<lb />the White House, and the now<lb />destroyed Roxy Theatre. The intel<lb />lect made the first straight line<lb />and ever since then the heart ha$<lb />been trying to bend it, trying to<lb />crumple, spindle, and mutilate<lb />everything Big Brother says is<lb />right.

          <lb />in the Ninth Symphony is that<lb />ounder the wings of joy all men<lb />will be brothers.? That is a beauti-<lb />ful thought but really it is quite<lb />ironic. Joy is the one force that<lb />is opposed to conformity, opposed<lb />to civilization, opposed to the<lb />accepted and right. Perhaps<lb />DonneTs bell tolls for a feast<lb />instead of a funeral.<lb /><lb />oA Clockwork Orange?T rings<lb />with the incongruities of humanity.<lb />The traditionally beautiful is united<lb />with the traditionally horrible, the<lb />traditionally puritanically un-<lb />speakable. oClockwork? condemns<lb />everything its intellect is capable<lb />of achieving. The movie is caught<lb />within its own problem of creating<lb />a world it hates in order to show<lb />how hateful the world is.<lb /><lb />Civilization offers little to the<lb />heart, and western civilization<lb />offers the very violence we are<lb />taught to abhor. The movie theatres<lb />we hate consume us. We think<lb /><lb />weTre buying the ticket to forget,<lb /><lb />to go somewhere else for two hours<lb />or so, but that is the trick we do<lb /><lb />not see. The theatre devours its<lb />viewers who are as helpless as<lb />when faced with a full bag of<lb />groceries. There is no choice but<lb />to reach into the bag. There is no<lb />choice but to buy the ticket.<lb /><lb />Kubrick shocks, but if he didnTt<lb />the movie would make no money,<lb />and the theatre would close and<lb />then there would be no place to go.<lb />What is intellectualism but re-<lb />cycled thought, repackaged in<lb />Warhol boxes or cans? What is a<lb />movie experience but the same<lb />show with different people.<lb /><lb />So donTt be shocked. Kubrick<lb />has done nothing that the public<lb />has not wanted him to do. Alex<lb />pays for his acts of violence, and if<lb />Alex.is western civilization, one<lb />only wonders when it, too, will pay<lb />for its deeds of progress?<lb /><lb />"John Wallace<lb /><lb /></p>

This is a striking de-<lb />parture from its predecessors,<lb />especially from the previous non-<lb />descript looking TRIOs. A photo of<lb />Julia Fields decorates it. Her<lb />oMary? is full of powerful expres-<lb />sions and rough beauty. A robust<lb />work, written in the modern<lb />idiom, it is a realistic blend of<lb />humor, tenderness, down-to-earth<lb />emotions and tragedy. The pro-<lb />tagonist in this poem is much more<lb />than a single, hardworking black<lb />housemaid, for she embodies<lb />many thousands of her sisters,<lb />with their suffering, longings, joy<lb />of life and vitality. The parallel!<lb />and contrasting arrangement of<lb />oDichotomy? maximizes the dra-<lb />matic impact. Even this limited<lb />selection indicates that Fields has<lb />considerable talent.<lb /><lb />Phyl SmithTs oGentle Times For<lb />You? is full of tender emotions.<lb /><lb />It is easy while reading it to<lb />become immersed in the un-<lb />harassed, unregimented oTimes?<lb />about which she writes. In this<lb />noise-polluted world it increases<lb />the readerTs longings for otender<lb />moments to be silent.? This poem<lb />is abundant in fresh, vivid images:<lb />oTimes to match our breathing<lb /><lb />and our eyes,? owhen each }<lb />memory makes one more pathway<lb />and oTo jump in a pile of<lb />memories.? Her oIl DonTt Know?<lb />in a few simple words tells of the<lb />awesome feeling of being over-<lb />whelmed by another personTs inne!<lb />world.<lb /><lb />Karen Ray Dawes shows the<lb />weaknesses typical of beginners,<lb />but also some promise. In oThe<lb />Muse Bemused? a gloomy day<lb />matches the dearth of inspiration<lb />of the frustrated poet. Her ~Pepsi<lb />Cola Song? can serve as a good<lb />example of how much the Forum<lb />is able to do for a beginning poet:<lb />This work, after various transfor-<lb />mations made by Karen under thé<lb />guidance of the members, in its<lb />present form is much more<lb />effective than the first copy was.<lb /><lb />Some poets, especially begin-<lb />ners, often object to changing eve!"<lb />one word in their omasterpiece.?<lb />Whatever their personal excuses<lb />or justifications may be, the<lb />impression they create is that they<lb />judge their own work as operfect.? |<lb />In world literature only a few<lb />perfect or nearly perfect poems<lb />may be found. Usually they have<lb />been written by giants of the<lb />literary world. Masterpieces are<lb />nearly always born from combina-<lb />tion of technical skill, many years<lb />of experience, rarely occurring<lb />Superb inspiration and immense<lb />creative power.<lb /><lb />Mary ArnetteTs oThis Was God's<lb />World? is a naively written prose<lb />in verse form. It sounds more<lb />contrived than sincere. No doubt<lb /><lb />iin, NN a meme ii i le a<lb />ae eg ge ee Sit alas ee a<lb /><lb /></p>

        <p>ef<lb /><lb />it is a result of intense feeling and<lb />bitterness, but these alone do not<lb />make it a poem. Donna LoweryTs<lb />short poem is straightforward and<lb />beautiful. Its encouraging words<lb />have the rare quality of being<lb />meaningful to every reader.<lb /><lb />| think Regina KearTs oThe<lb />Amusement Pier At Atlantic City?<lb />is one of her best. Unfortunately<lb />the title is too prosaic and also<lb />identifies the place. A more vague<lb />title could have given this sensitive<lb />work wider scope and a more<lb />encompassing quality. Douglas<lb />McReynolds in his oProfessor<lb />Nilman Spends An Evening At<lb />Home? effectively expresses the<lb />frustration and desperation in the<lb />private life of a highly educated<lb />individual: ~the perfunctory kiss...<lb />family squabble . . . the inevitable<lb />descent... .?<lb /><lb />While Paula DavisTs oThor?<lb />pulsates with life and excitement,<lb />Ted MaloneTs oHurricane? is a<lb />pale description of what is happen-<lb />ing. | am certain that all the<lb />veteran members of the Forum<lb />who know well the hero of Anita<lb />BrehmTs oThe Party? will find it<lb />exceedingly funny. Her oMy Side<lb />Of The Wall? is thought provoking.<lb /><lb />A ~o~media man? myself, | wish<lb />to deal in some detail with the<lb />illustrations. The pleasing effect of<lb />Ted MaloneTs handsome lettering<lb />on the cover is weakened by his<lb />first drawing. There is a womanTs<lb />head, resembling that of Julia<lb />Fields. From her mouth little<lb />daggers are flying menacingly<lb />toward something which looks like<lb />a U.S. flag in which the swastika<lb /><lb />replaces most of the stars. In my<lb />opinion this illustration is on a par<lb />with the worst of his products<lb />in the FOUNTAINHEAD. It lacks<lb />taste and adds not one iota to our<lb />knowledge of FieldTs work as it is<lb />represented in this selection. One<lb />just wonders how this substandard<lb />illustration could have passed<lb />the editorTs desk.<lb /><lb />On the other hand the joyfully<lb />frolicking children in the pile<lb />of leaves are most charming. His<lb />last drawing, which precedes the<lb />miscellaneous poems, is so excel-<lb />lent that it almost makes me to<lb />forgive him his past sins committed<lb />on paper. Some of his poems<lb />in this issue, especially oGrandmaTs<lb />Last Illness? and ~~Kenan Stadium,<lb />Back Row? show originality and<lb />talent.<lb /><lb />The editor of the TAR RIVER<lb />POETS is Mr. Vernon Ward, who<lb />is also Director of the Forum,<lb />the members of which meet every<lb />other week to discuss and criticize<lb />their works. The meetings vary<lb />from dull to exciting. It all depends<lb />on the people present and the<lb />poems read. Because of Mr.<lb />WardTs snail-paced leadership,<lb />part of the time at the meetings<lb />is often wasted. He is also in the<lb />habit of changing parts of some of<lb />the poems he selects for the TAR<lb />RIVER POETS, without consult-<lb />ing, or even notifying the poets<lb />concerned. On the positive side,<lb />his advice and suggestions have<lb />been helpful to several members.<lb />The Forum also fulfills the im-<lb />portant task of discovering and<lb />nurturing local talents.<lb /><lb />"Maxim Tabory<lb /><lb /></p>
