ROSS GAY POEMS

Curtis Fox: On a pletely different note, you’ve listed a fairly explic poem by Essex Hemphill, the gay Ain Amerin poet who died of AIDS 1995. In the early 90s, poets and wrers and gay and lbian and bisexual and transgenr people, queers, were not particularly ncerned on the whole wh gay marriage.

Andrea Lawlor: Over the last century of queer intify, queer culture, I thk people have found solace and refuge and safety relatnships, whether they’re monogamo relatnships, polyamoro relatnships, iend relatnships wh other gay people, the muny. Edward Heath was told poet should be led out over ‘utterly revoltg’ vers about gay sex and Aun’s cisn to be an Amerin cizen.

He was one of the most acplished poets of the 20th century, but WH Aun was emed unsuable for the role of poet lreate after wrg a “filthy” pornographic poem that would “brg disgrace” on the Heath, the Conservative prime mister, was told 1972 that Aun - prevly scribed by officials as “probably the bt poet” alive - had wrten “utterly revoltg” vers about gay sex, meang that together wh his cisn to bee an Amerin cizen he should be led out.

BACKWARDS RHYME

Gay may have wrten this poem om his own perspective, but knowg who the speaker is is not necsary for unrstandg the poem.

If Ross Gay’s 2015 llectn Catalogue of Unabashed Gratu associated the poet wh a posture of thanks, nfirmed the 2019 Book of Delights, his most recent offerg, Be Holdg, published last fall, sps this theme of gratu om a poetics to a polics.

This gratu enpass a list of wrers whout whom, Gay sists the ditn, “The poem do not exist”—Saidiya Hartman, Fred Moten, Christa Sharpe, and San Sontag, among others.

Most of the nam are repeated the acknowledgments, which Gay begs wh a this of sorts: “Nothg I wre I wre by myself: Everythg I wre, by which I mean everythg, I wre wh and for and om others, which is a way of sayg, always, bt. ” Gay go on to name dozens of fluenc, some s quotg l that showse his beholn-ns, which extend to a rich “leage”: poets June Jordan and Amiri Baraka, elogist Rob Wall Kimmerer, artist Carrie Mae Weems, theologian J.

Gay suat this overflow of gratu explic ntrast to “the world-stroyg horsh palist nightmare fantasy of the dividual” that ph wrers to image their selfhood as pennt on pennt makg, not the gifts of others.

In this way, highlightg all this poetic bt is a direct refal of the anxiety of fluence, a theory fomented by lerary cric Harold Bloom 1973, the year before Gay was born, which sists that wrers evably pete wh their lerary anctors to assert their own origaly. Gay briefly adms to the prevailg expectatn of dividualy and origaly but ultimately rejects , ncludg, “Oh sh, ’s all been given to me. In a seri of associatns, often ma through the register of tre, water, and the sky, Gay likewise narrat his lookg at other imag— particular, three photographs—along wh rellectns om his childhood.

Gay’s particular reference to photography allows him to terrogate the ethics of wnsg, and the poem sistently plays on the vlent unrton of photographic idms. The first photo to which Gay refers is the famo image of a two-year-old Black girl and her godmother, somehow ught mid-fall when a fire pe llapsed, and his terpretatn is damng.

Gay nnects this lack of re for the Black woman and girl’s liv to a longer history of whe palist obssn wh property when he par the breakg fire pe to “a ship’s ck dismantlg a storm.

Is nstcted out of the words of the urt document, bearg wns to the liv of those massacred, and Gay nam Philip and her book his acknowledgments (“Of urse.

Throughout the poem, Gay appli the repeated phrase—“thrown overboard / for the surance”—to suatns which Black people are sacrificed for whe nsumptn or enomic ga.

” But Gay is perhaps most famo for his poem “A Small Needful Fact, ” which memorat Eric Garner’s breath-givg work wh the “Parks and Rec. As Gay v his rears to wns “the unwnsable” the willful photographic pture of this ltle girl’s retrmatizatn, he ps between dash to craft a muny of rg:. Dcribg the imaged scene of a photographer directg the ltle girl to look at the first picture, Gay terpts himself aga: “—Come on now.

Gay’s implied ethics of wnsg nmns not jt the photographer but all who vis “the mm / of black pa, ” cludg “whe children / checkg their phon.
