"Fallen
Western Star"
Revisited
Two
'Western' Writers Talk…
In the Hungry Mind Review's Winter
1999&endash;2000 issue, poet and critic Dana Gioia,
author of Can Poetry Matter?, published an
essay titled "Fallen Western Star: San Francisco as
a Literary Region." The magazine, which has since
changed its name to the Ruminator Review,
sought the essay for a special issue on literary
regions of the country. The piece created a minor
uproar, both pro and con. In the previous issue of
Poetry Flash, #285, Associate Editor Richard
Silberg questioned the essay and examined some of
the assumptions it contained in an essay of his
own. Springing immediately to Dana Gioia's defense
was poet, critic and Contributing Editor Jack
Foley, whose new collection of reviews and essays
(some of them previously published in the Poetry
Flash), O Powerful Western Star: Poetry
& Art in California (Pantograph) carries
Dana Gioia's Introduction. Dana Gioia has chosen
not to comment. [For a copy of the original
Gioia essay, contact Ruminator Review, 1648
Grand Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105; (651) 699-2610.
Back copies are $4, subscriptions are $14 for one
