如何去爱世界:记得汤姆安德鲁斯吗

一篇由杰克Ridl

他总是签署了他的信,“哑ole汤姆。”

汤姆希望学院大三学生的时候,他在剧本写作课程。世界杯荷兰vs厄瓜多尔走地有一天我提到他,我想他可能想试着自己动手写诗。他很惊讶。“我从没写过诗在我的生命中,”他说。他认为它结束了。然后他说,“你有什么推荐我学习吗?“我告诉他,在这个夏天他应该选的当代美国诗人和选择25 - 30人,写诗的方式。他说,“好吧。”,当他给我,我目瞪口呆。就好像每一个诗人,他写了他们的下一个选择的诗。 It was uncanny. It was the stuff of prodigy. “Now what should I do?” he said matter-of-factly as if what he did was what anyone could do. “Well, now all you have to do is compose your own poems,” was all I could think to answer. He enrolled in Introduction to Poetry writing. We’d talk for hours after class. During that fall term, Tom and I went to Kalamazoo College to a reading by Gwendolyn Brooks and David Young. Young was the editor of the prestigious literary magazine FIELD at Oberlin College. Half way through the reading, I asked Tom if he’d be interested to going to Oberlin to be an intern at FIELD if David took interns from outside the college. Tom whispered an enthusiastic, “Wow! Yeah!” After the reading, I asked David if he’d be willing to take a student from another college as an intern. He said no; they’d never do that. I said, “If I sent you poems by this student, would you be willing to say no again?” and I laughed. And David laughed, too, and said, “Yes, I’ll say no again. Send them to me.” I sent them to him. He called and said, “Send Tom Andrews here for the second semester.” Oberlin is one of the colleges that annually awards a student one of the prestigious prizes from The Academy of American Poets. Tom won it. The Oberlin students all agreed that he deserved it. Tom graduated Summa Cum Laude from Hope College and won the Hoyns Fellowship to the University of Virginia where he studied with Charles Wright and Gregory Orr. After that, he went on to become the brilliant writer he was, published in the finest of places and winning critical acclaim and prestigious awards for individual poems, as well as for his collections and for his prose memoir and for his edited editions of definitive work on William Stafford and Charles Wright.

希望研究生和肮脏的山羊创始人/编辑出版社,巴里Hendges写给我汤姆去世后不久,“几乎不了解他,我觉得一个伟大的失落感。我记得当我还是一个大一或大二,希望去希望足球比赛与我的室友汤姆和转向时,看到我的室友说,“嘿,看,那是汤姆·安德鲁斯的诗人。我想汤姆有点摇滚明星/名人给我。我认为汤姆听我;我记得他给了一个害羞的小开心的笑容。这是汤姆·安德鲁斯诗人”。

汤姆的寺庙是包容。两个他最喜欢的诗人威廉·斯塔福德和约翰·艾。诗歌世界的现在,这两个很少提到如果在同一个欣赏对话。汤姆能温柔地说服你在大约三十秒,他们几乎完全一样。当然,他是对的。汤姆会在PBS看英国戏剧,然后切换到ESPN的最新纳斯卡更新。他会随身携带维特根斯坦的哲学中,摩托车零部件的目录,和疯狂的杂志。他工作最深奥的数学期刊,数学评论然后去玩街头篮球。他进屋去执行一个新的溜溜球技巧,虽然这样做,问我看到了诗歌Marianne Boruch刚刚出版。圣奥古斯汀和马克斯兄弟宗教人物。 He had the lightest touch with the heaviest material of anyone I’ve known. He could juggle.

汤姆·安德鲁斯曾是冠军越野摩托车司机。然而,他发现血友病。“然后我退休,”他说。血友病患者“越野摩托车赛车有点保险风险。”他握着创纪录的连续的手鼓掌,他发表在《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。他赢得了爱荷华州奖和高度声望的罗马奖学金,想成为一名喜剧演员。他的作品被选为国家诗歌系列,他被授予古根海姆。他希望学院编辑作品,访问作家系列的是一位梦想世界杯荷兰vs厄瓜多尔走地家。我们把今年的系列。他的诗被选为最佳美国诗歌,他只希望尽快写摩托车杂志。 His publications include “Hymning the Kanawha”(Haw River Books), “The Brother’s Country” (winner of The National Poetry Series, Persea Books), “The Hemophiliac’s Motorcycle” (Winner of the Iowa Prize, University of Iowa Press), the memoir “Codeine Diary” (Little Brown), “On William Stafford: The Worth of Local Things” (University of Michigan Press) and “On Charles Wright: The Point Where All Things Meet” (Oberlin College Press). He was amazing. While at Hope College, he published in OPUS and in The Wallace Stevens Journal. Tom could do a handstand on a skateboard that was sitting on another skateboard while rolling downhill. Yes, he was amazing.

家伙达文波特,这个国家最强大的批评者之一汤姆的诗中写道:这些都不是诗的疾病。他们的统治精神时丰富的想象力和勇气。

诗人琼情人节写道:他是一个真正的诗人,爱、艰难,欣喜若狂。

大卫年轻的,他说,“是的,我会说不,”后来写道:他(汤姆)是明智的,也许因为他知道如何去爱这个世界。

我们希望你将新的或新的兴趣汤姆的工作。我知道他所写的一切他想给我们所有人。
