Suffering produces stark poetry
Third Rail 6:
A Review of International
Literature and the Arts
Uri Hertz, Editor and
Publisher
100 pp., $5.00
University alumnus Uri Hertz,
who holds a master's degree in
comparative literature, has
given birth to the 1984 issue of
"Third Rail." Another University
alumnus, Steven White, who
has a master's degree in
Spanish, has also made a
substantial contribution to this
interesting and varied collection
of work. And |uan Epple, a
Chilean who teaches Latin
American literature here, is
represented Dy tour poems
translated by White.
As my mother wrote me
recently after receiving a copy
of “Third Rail," “The subject
matter is very somber, dealing
as it does with poetry and inter
views about Vietnam, Chile,
Nicaragua. Some of the poetry is
very stark. I have found the
general effect of the book rather
depressing. But it is put up very
nicely and attractively."
The material is interesting
because it comes out of the suf
fering that is a universal ingre
dient of human experience. But
the forms suffering and its
transformation and
transcendence can take are
often highly individuated. So, in
a section ot post-eartnquaxe,
postwar Japanese poetry
translated by John Solt and
others, Solt explains that
Japanese "postwar poets
created new forms of expres
sion to hold their pain." From a
stanza of one of Ryuichi
Tamura's poems (in Solt's
translation):
I shouldn't have learned words
A world without words
If we lived in a world where
meaning didn't mean
Wouldn't it be great?
In contrast, Takahashi
Shinkichi's poem "Cloud," also
^translated by Solt, presents the
transcendence of a moment
beautifully outside meaning.
