Untermeyer;s Duties
As Varied as Spring

titled Howl" Mr.. Untermeyer
said, are nothing more than lone
protracted scream" He is not un-
sympathetic to Mr.. Ginsberg's S
howl for: "The best minds of my
generation destroyed by madness"
or those who "hiccoughed end
leSsly trying to giggle but wound
up with sob L. =. run down by the
drunken taxicabS of Absolute
Reality"
Mr.. Untermeyer respects rage at
a world with all values lost in
senSationalism, but a writer must
also "love something"
Concerning the Beotni
However, the BeatnikS' "inten-
Sity and passion" is one quality
Mr.. Untermeyer finds and likes in
recent poetry. Early goth century
poetry, he said, had design and
color but damn little heat" The
difference between the Beatniks
and Mr.. Untermeyer's favorite
poets, who have emerged in the
last 20 years, is one of order.
Richard Wilbur, in Mr.. Inter
meyers opinion, is the most sig
niflcant poet to have been pro-
duced in the last 20 years.
Mr.. Wilbur has an awareness of
the commonplace and an ability to
give it significance beyond the
everyday that endear him to Mr..
Untermeyer. And he opens his
Anthology of Great Poems" with
pleasure to the last poem, which is
Mr.. Wilbur's Love Calls Us to the
Things of This World"
"The eyes open to a cry of
pulleyS. -" On surface it is a
poem about waking up to the
sound of the laundry being
brought in from the line. But the
poet Celebrates:
"The morning air is all awash
with angels. Some are in bed
sheets, some are in blouses. -"
In the end, the anthologiSt
Untermeyer is a poet at heart.
Eight volumes have been published
of his original work. When asked
to describe the poet Untermeyer,
he picked the title romantic
ironiSt."
Lighthearted about his own en-
deavor, Mr.. Untermeyer jokes about
Harcourt Braces republication
last week of some Of his poems en-
titled Long Feud," signifying
mans struggle against age. But
perhaps, said Mr.. Untermeyer, a
better title would have been

For most of us it's springtime,
but for Louis Untermeyer any
time is the poetry season. It's
his business as the consultant in
poetry at the Library of Congress.
When Mr.. Untermeyer was first
appointed to Americas only Off
cial post in poetry, he said: II
want to be used" He'd hardly
said it when an inspired lady took
him up on it and Stormed his
office quite unannounced.
you don't know me-" ex-
claimed the lady. who went on to
explain that she had written a
sonnet sequence dictated to her
by no less a poeteSS than Eliz-
abeth Barrett Browning, who died
over a century ago.
When asked for an appraisal,
the conSultant in poetry admitted
some doubt as to exactly whom
he was to criticize, Mrs. - or
Mrs. Browning from the grave"
More recently a man wrote a
letter informing Mr.. Untermeyer
of presidential epic he had just
composed. He hoped Mr.. Inter
meyer would see that he got a
chance to read it at President
Kennedy'S next inauguration.
For Kennedy Again
Mr.. Untermeyer assured the
correspondent that "he was doing
his best to see that Mr.. Kennedy
got second term" but that's as
far as he would commit himself.
Mr.. Untermeyer sees his func-
tion during his term-he'S just
been appointed to a second year
to be one Of popularization, max
ing poetry part of the American
household as well as a part of its
heritage. His taste is suited to
his goal.
In poetry he looks for the
commonplace and a common form
of communication. He prefers
among the most current poets
such polished practitioners as
w. D. SnodgraSs and Richard
Wilbur. 1t is the lack of tradi-
tional craftsmanship that he de-
plores in the beatniks.
If he had to choose the three
most important living American
poets, Mr.. Untermeyer would Sc
lect Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg
and T. S. Eliot. He considers Mr..
Frost his most popular choice and
Mr.. Sandburg the typical Ameri-
can poet. Mr.. Eliot is included
among the three, even though he
is essentially intellectual" for
his profound insight into our
times in such poems as 1.-THE
Wasteland" and THE Love Song
of j. Alfred Prufrock."
Ezra Pound, Mr.. Untermeyer
said will go down in history as
a great literary curiosity" For Mr..
Untermeyer, Pounds major work,
THE Cantos," is an extraordinary
erudite torture" But Mr.. Inter
meyer credits him with having a
tremendous influence through his
technique of using material
clearly and sharply"

"The Democratic Party is very
