Bruce Bennett 10-04-1984
Stan Sanville Rubin and Judith Kitchen interview Bruce Bennett. Bennett at the time of filming, was a Professor of English at Wells College and a poet. He had written for Poetry, Poetry Now, Poetry Northwest and other magazines. He's written critical reviews for The New York Times, The Nation and other journals and was the founding editor of two major poetry journals. Bennett authored "The Strange Animal" a chapbook published by the State Street Press in 1981 and "Straw Into Gold" his first complete poetry collection published by the Cleveland State University Press. Bennett reads "The Storyteller" to kick off the discussion. The interview begins with an exploration of the lean "The Storyteller" has toward the narrative and what storytelling does for the storyteller. The conversation shifts to why Bennett chooses the forms he writes in and how prose makes his writing enjoyable for him and how it serves his work and the reader or audience. Bennett speaks in detail about allowing his imagination to lead him to the poems and the prose he hangs his words on. Many of Bennett's poems were not only read aloud but also along with the performance of a dancer and a pianist as part of a group called Three for All. The poems presented by this group were meant to be more of a full experience for the audience present. Stan invites Bennett to talk about why he draws on a myriad myth, fable, and fairytales for his poetry. He wants people to gather to hear his poems the way children gather to hear a story and see how they respond to the story he's telling in his poems. Judith invites Bennett to read "Sort of a Sestina" Prior to the reading of "Sort of a Sestina", Bennett tells his story of how he realized he'd never written a true sestina despite teaching others how to write in that form. Rubin invites Bennett to speak about helping writers develop and which of his beliefs drive what and how he teaches and advises other writers. Judith introduces the subtle humor of Bennett's work to the conversation. Bennett expands on the darkness beneath the whimsy and light humor in his writing. He talks about how readers have expressed their experiences of those poems to him and how he felt about that feedback. Bennett reads "There Are Lies" which demonstrates a darkness underlying a surface of whimsy or humor. He goes on to talk about the concept of reality and imagination and how they mingle in a way that makes the discernment of imaginary or reality rather difficult for the reader. The interview closes with a reading of "Straw Into Gold" the title poem of Bennett's poetry collection and a reading of "This Doing".Archived web conten
