- W2807003698 abstract "ONE OF THE MORE TALKED ABOUT contemporary poems of this decade has been Robert Hass's Meditation at Lagunitas. Hass in a single poem weaves luminous clarity of a general idea with a childhood memory, with a primer on semiotics, with a tale of sexual love, with a densely musical catalog of particulars. These threads, clashing it would seem in content, create a tightly interlaced fabric. As the Hass poem exem plifies, the meditative poem is a hybrid of the lyric and the narrative, cer tainly taking the strengths of those two methods of speaking, but resem bling itself more than either of its parents. The meditation is most easily recognized as zform by its marriage of dissociated contents toward the analysis of an idea. If we look at Meditation at Lagunitas, we see that the meditation is not a form of ornamentation, structured by patterns of sound, but a form of concentration, structured by patterns of thought. To call the meditation a form is, perhaps, a wrong step, considering the commerce in the term formalism these days. The shape I hope to discuss is not easily described or prescribed. There are no beats, syllables or lines to count. There is no predetermined pattern to fulfill. This^orm is not a vessel into which any fluid can be poured. Like the ode and the elegy, the shape we see of the meditation is the shape of that which fills it. If we look at the Hass poem we see that the shape is in the intertwinings of the rhetoric, the stories, and the images. The poem's machinery, its argument, works with a grace and subtlety. At its best a meditative poem attempts to confront intellectual, philosophical, or spiritual concerns. And, as T. S. Eliot says in his essay on The Metaphysical Poets, our only condition is that . . . [the poet] . . . turn them into poetry, and not merely meditate upon them poetically. II" @default.
