Dennis Swanson Iowa City Notebooks "Po Biz is a matter of tunnels between the studies of influential poets. Admission to the Poetry Workshop is entry into the first of the tunnels...." John Legget, in The Workshop by Tom Grimes "I just found these notes written many years ago. How seriously I always take myself Let it be a lesson to me". Kenneth Koch "The Artist"" Just out of the art auditorium. a sunken concrete room ramping down to the double projections. A short walk then into the tunnel. Six seconds of introspection with the effervescence highlighted overhead. Halfway between the Art Bldh. and EPB and exactly halfway between two ideas each with its own doubleness. Professor Wolfffin's comparisons following "The Double Root of Style" the worksheet poem and its hopeful mirrored image Across Iowa Avenue, and then the stairs to the fourth floor. The poetry also moved the other way. my handout to a first multimedia class Kenneth Koch's "Fresh Air" "Blue air, fresh air, come in, I welcome you you are an art student" Students climbed into the university Travelall that carried us to our post studio classroom. "Haven't you ever looked out the window at a painting by Matisse?" Kenneth Koch We drifter (the derive) "Aesthetics of Creating Time" "Relinquish space, that is the place Where time used to be." Kenneth Koch A quarry where stones were piled. "His name means 'he of the stone heap' a traveler seeking the protection of Hermes would pile rocks into a cairn by the road." (Lewis Hide, The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property. "March 14th. A cold spring day. It is snowing." Kenneth Koch "The Artist" "March 14th 1972; 1:30 appointment Horse Possession Obtain Loan, March 14, 1972 Insure loan, March 15, 1972 Buy horse March 15, 1972 Leave body Enter horse Man becomes Bogus horse "The horse Tipton creek, named after a nearby topographical feature becomes a moving landscape and a focus of video study" The proposed swindle, a failure. "Here comes a tremendous horse, Trojan I presume, No it's my third lesson, "Look look" Watch him see what he's doing? That's what we want you to do" Kenneth Koch "Fresh Air" The brick facade of EPB, the concrete parapet along the ramp, buttressed by rectangular planters, the extended sarchophagi for a class devoted to half remember resurrections.
