"How can we know the dancer from the dance?" You may know the line, even if you don't know the poem it ends. I had the great pleasure of talking with one of the most accomplished poetry critics of our time, Dan Chiasson, about that poem, William Butler Yeats's fascinating "Among School Children."Dan Chiasson was born and raised in the city of Burlington, Vermont, and received a BA in 1993 from Amherst College and a PhD from Harvard University in 2002. He has written regularly for The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. Chiasson is the author of six books, including five books of poetry, most recently The Math Campers (Knopf, 2020), and one book of criticism, One Kind of Everything: Poem and Person in Contemporary America (Chicago, 2007). He is at work on a study of politics and change in American life, Bernie for Burlington: His Rise in a Changing Vermont, 1964-1991, based partly on his own close observation of Sanders since Chiasson was nine years old. Dan Chiasson is Lorraine Chao Wang Professor of English at Wellesley College.Please follow, rate, and review the podcast if you like what you hear.

Matt Kelly once challenged me to write a blog post for Bloomsday. Well aware of my great love for Joyce's magnum opus, I accepted the challenge. This year is the 100th anniversary of the publication of the book. To celebrate this event, James Joyce's novel at 100 and the compliance profession, I have decided to do a 5-part podcast series on Ulysses. Over this podcast series, I will highlight some of the books and commentary and tie what Joyce, Dublin, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, together with his mentor Stephen Daedalus, can teach the modern compliance professional. I hope you will join me in the short celebration and trip through Dublin 1904 for the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday. In Part 5, Bloomsday and storytelling.  Resources The Teaching Compliance-James Joyce Ulysses, by James Heffernan The Politicians Who Love Ulysses by Kevin Dettmar “Ulysses” and the Moral Right to Pleasure by Dan Chiasson in the New Yorker The Moral of Ulysses by Charles Cosby Ethics and the Modernist Subject in James Joyce's "Ulysses," Virginia Woolf's "The Waves," and Djuna Barnes's "Nightwood" by AnnKatrin Jonsson The Ethical Reader in Ulysses by Stephen Gilbert

In this Part 4 of this 5-part podcast series, we consider the chapter involving Molly Bloom and use her story to explore the 21st-century compliance professional. Compliance Quote-Mary Shirley "I love working in that area because sometimes there's no clear answer or even good answer. That keeps you on your toes and requires a skill set different from what is required to be a successful lawyer."

We are part of a movement that is palpably shifting the landscape for so many, especially in the developing world.

The Math Campers is Dan Chiasson's fifth book of poetry. He is the poetry critic for The New Yorker, a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books, and teaches English at Wellesley College.  You can checkout The Math Campers at the Deerfield Public Library, and find Dan Chiasson on Twitter @dchiasso.  The Math Campers has a thrilling and unique structure. Imagining a reader who narrates her correspondence with a poet named Dan Chiasson, the book contains poetic scraps, drafts, and blank spaces, which only sometimes lead to more completed poems. This “making-of” structure coincides with Chiasson's continued investigations into his childhood and adolescence, as his sons enter adolescence themselves. Add a science fiction plot about a group of teen summer campers trying to stop time, and you have a collection both zany and elegiac that questions the nature of art.  We discuss where these ideas come from, and why poetry does what it does. You'll also hear Dan read some of his poems and reflect on the lineage of poets cited in this book, including T.S. Eliot, James Merrill, and Frank Bidart.

Recorded by Dan Chiasson for Poem-a-Day, a series produced by the Academy of American Poets. Published on March 20, 2020. www.poets.org

Dan and Eric talk about Evan Osnos's long take on the protests in Hong Kong; Nick Paumgarten's piece on vaccines and anti-vaxxers; Kate Walbert's moving short story, "To Do"; and Dan Chiasson on the history and future of reading.

Addressing a recent loss in her own life, Danielle shares with Max an elegy by Sally Ball that helped with her grieving. Topics include: elegies, suicide, stages of grief, Virginia Woolf, W.S. Merwin, and Dancer pose.

This was a great week at the New Yorker and on the pod.  Dan and Eric talk about: Amy Davidson Sorkin's excellent and unique piece about the Democratic debates; Dan Chiasson's insightful close reading of James Tate's most final collection of poetry; and a transcendent piece of fiction by playwright and novelist David Rabe.  A great episode, a celebration of literature.

My guest this week is highly acclaimed poet Mary Jo Salter, whom Dan Chiasson described as “one of America’s most accomplished formalists” in the New York Review of Books. In this conversation we explored the drive to create poetry and its unique effect on our psyches. 

My guest this week is highly acclaimed poet Mary Jo Salter, whom Dan Chiasson described as "one of America's most accomplished formalists" in the New York Review of Books. I first met Mary Jo on the day I married her niece, over 22 years ago. Since then I've been fortunate to speak with her on several occasions, and always enjoy our discussions. I'm very pleased to share with you our latest conversation, which focused on the creation and experience of poetry, including: The difficulty in defining poetry The universality of poetry, told from a specific human being's point of view The connection between poetry and dreams The involvement of the unconscious mind in creating poetry The challenge of transforming experience into language What inspires us to create art The unpredictability of writing poetry Being open to the possibility of poetry The difficulty in being objective about one’s own writing The use of Biblical allusion in poetry Why it’s hard to binge read poetry The poet Amy Lowell, author of "To a Friend” The connection of poetry to place Poetry as a way of entering more fully into our moment-to-moment experience The importance of concision and lyricism in poetry The intersection of emotion and poetry Whatever your background in poetry, I encourage you to listen to this episode, as Mary Jo has a gift for making poetry accessible. Mary Jo was kind enough to read some of her poetry, including "Distance" and "Wreckage" from A Kiss in Space (one of my favorite collections), an excerpt from "Another Session" from Open Shutters, and "Little Men" and part of the title poem from The Surveyors. (A percentage of sales through these affiliate links will be used to support the podcast, at no additional cost to you.) As Mary Jo describes in our discussion, "The Surveyors" was inspired by a letter from Matthew Yeager; you can find some of his work here: Matthew Yeager poetry. Photo by Marina Levitskaya Mary Jo Salter is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of eight books of poetry published by Alfred A. Knopf, most recently The Surveyors (2017) and Nothing by Design (2013), as well as a children’s book, The Moon Comes Home (1989). She is an essayist, playwright, and lyricist, whose poems and lyrics have been set to music by Fred Hersch and Caroline Shaw. She is also one of three co-editors of The Norton Anthology of Poetry (6th edition, 2018). To hear Mary Jo read more of her poetry, please visit the PoetryArchive.org. You can find more of her work at PoetryFoundation.org and Poets.org.

Dan and Eric discuss the Ian Parker tale of writer/editor Dan Mallory's fascinating trail of deception; TC Boyle's short story in which he envisions a future with all self-driving cars; Margaret Talbot's take on what the Dems should do next; and Dan Chiasson's thoughts about poet Shane McCrae's most recent book, "The Gilded Auction Block." 

Nathalie Handal and Robin Robertson read their poems. They are introduced by Dan Chiasson, Associate Professor of English at Wellesley College. The event took place on October 27, 2014. Nathalie Handal was raised in Latin America, France and the Arab world. Her most recent books include the critically acclaimed Poet in Andalucía, which Alice Walker lauds as “poems of depth and weight and the sorrowing song of longing and resolve,” and Love and Strange Horses, winner of the 2011 Gold Medal Independent Publisher Book Award, which The New York Times says is “a book that trembles with belonging (and longing).” Handal is the editor of the groundbreaking classic The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology, winner of the PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Book Award, and co-editor of the W.W. Norton landmark anthology Language for a New Century: Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East, Asia & Beyond, both Academy of American Poets bestsellers. Her most recent plays have been produced at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Bush Theatre and Westminster Abbey, London. Her work has appeared in numerous publications including Vanity Fair, Guernica Magazine, The Guardian, The Nation, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Ploughshares. Handal is a Lannan Foundation Fellow, winner of the 2011 Alejo Zuloaga Order in Literature, and Honored Finalist for the Gift of Freedom Award, among other honors. She is a professor at Columbia University and part of the Low-Residency MFA Faculty at Sierra Nevada College. Robin Robertson is from the Northeast coast of Scotland. He has published five collections of poetry–most recently Hill of Doors–and received a number of accolades, including the Petrarch Prize, the E.M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Cholmondeley Award, and all three Forward Prizes. He has also edited a collection of essays, Mortification: Writers’ Stories of Their Public Shame; translated two plays of Euripides, Medea and theBacchae; and, in 2006, published The Deleted World, a selection of free English versions of poems by the Nobel laureate Tomas Tranströmer. His selected poems, Sailing the Forest, will be out from FGS in Fall 2014.

Dan Chiasson is an Associate Professor at Wellesley College and the author of three books of poetry: The Afterlife of Objects (2002), Natural History (2005), and Where's the Moon, There's the Moon (2010). A book of criticism, One Kind of Everything: Poem and Person in Contemporary America, was published in 2006. He reviews poetry regularly for the New Yorker and the New York Times Book Review and formerly served as a poetry editor for the Paris Review. He has received the Whiting Writers' Award, a Pushcart Prize, and a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation.

Lydia Davis, who published a widely acclaimed new translation of Madame Bovary in fall 2010, gave a reading at the Newhouse Center for the Humanities in September 2011 for the Distinguished Writers Series. Davis received a MacArthur “genius” grant for her writing in 2003, and has published one novel and seven story collections, the most recent of which was a finalist for the 2007 National Book Award. She read a series of works from her Collected Stories, published in 2009, as well as a series of short stories inspired by Flaubert's letters. Following the reading, Dan Chiasson, associate professor of English at Wellesley College, led a discussion about the techniques and motivations behind Davis' "painstaking and precise" work.

Dan Chiasson reads an excerpt from The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis, published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux. "At first we did not even know what he meant. Then, when we realized, we were frankly upset. 'Cremains' sounds like something invented as a milk substitute in coffee, like Cremora, or Coffee-mate."
