Talk:Delmore Schwartz

message: The expression "In Dreams Begin Responsibilities" is a favorite among literary intellectuals and shows up in unexpected places (i.e. the movie Deep Cover).

message: This is the first time I have ever seem schwartz connected to socialism and irving howe. It is entirely possible, but there is no reference to this in james atlas's biography.
Also, why the final and emphatic emphasis on schwartz's influence on lou reed? Why not emphasize his specifically literary and poetic influence, i.e., on innumerable poets in the u.s., not just rock lyricist reed? I think reed may be exaggerating the connection with schwartz. Note: I am the co-editor of Schwartz's Selected Essays, 1970, U. of Chicago P.

message: Does the title "In Dreams Begin Responsibilites" have to appear four times in the first paragraph? Isn't there a better way to phrase it? And does each iteration have to be made into a link even though they all lead to the same page? AshcroftIleum 22:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: First Paragraph

message: Use of the term "Delmore effect" in a 2000 doctoral thesis (referenced here as a draft) does not render it "a term in psychology", nor does it make it the view of "Stanford's psych department."  The reference is neither authoritative nor indicative of a general view.  96.35.172.222 (talk) 15:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're correct: it's original research and I've removed it. I also removed the entire trivia section per WP:TRIVIA. Whatever info is in that section that is useful should be written into a paragraph. As for someone's thesis: if there's no general agreement and other published sources, it's really just one person's idea and is original research. freshacconci talktalk 15:32, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delmore effect 

message: The "top" of the article does not mention the date of birth. In fact, there is no concrete evidence about the supposed date of birth until the age at death is given. [Please excuse my possible lack of style as a relative new editor in general and a first time contributor in biographies. I know how to subtract and how to make a minor change, but thought there might be some reason for this.]

replies: text: Welcome to Wikipedia, Jim! Schwartz's birthdate is listed in the infobox in the upper right hand corner of the article. And it is the author's correct birthdate. If you'd like a reference, you can search The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry or poets.org to verify. As far as I know, for very basic facts, you don't need to cite references. But if you state an opinion or a quote or information that is disputable, then you definitely must provide a reference. Hope that's helpful!Jpcohen (talk) 17:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The article states that Schwartz and Lowell met at Harvard in 1946, but above had stated that Schwartz was a student there 1935-37. Is this a typo or was he there in other capacity (which should be stated if that is the case) in 1946?

replies: text: I have corrected the passage. It never states that the two poets first met in 1946. But the sentence to which you referred should say that the two "lived together" and that they were living in Cambridge, Mass (not Harvard). Lowell's poem "To Delmore Schwartz" and the notes to the piece in Lowell's Collected Poems should make this much clear.Jpcohen (talk) 17:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
