The Art Of Attention by Donald Revell
Revell argues passionately for the transformation that imaginative experience elicits through poetry. The art of poetry is not about the acquisition of wiles or the deployment of strategies, it's about taking the information of the senses and extrapolating it through the imagination to a wider truth. Noticing oneself noticing. Using examples both from his own poetry and tranlsations from Blake and Thoreau to Ronald Johnson and John Ashbery, Revell takes the writer out of the workshop and back into the world of vision.Donald Revell is the author of fifteen collections of poetry, the most recent of which are Alice James Books' The English Boat (2018) and Drought-Adapted Vine (2015). Revell also has six volumes of French translations, including Apollinaire's Alcools, Rimbaud's A Season in Hell, Laforgue's Final Poems, and Verlaine's Songs without Words. Essay: A Critical Memoir, The Art of Attention, and Invisible Green: Collected Prose are three collections of his critical writings. He is the recipient of the PEN USA Translation Award and the PEN USA Award for Poetry two times, as well as the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets and a past Fellow of the Ingram Merrill and Guggenheim Foundations. He has also received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts on two occasions. Donald Revell is a Professor of English at UNLV and a faculty affiliate of the Black Mountain Institute. He has formerly taught at the Universities of Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, and Utah.
