Keith Waldrop was once called 'a quiet major poet, a major poet of quiet.” He was also a small press publisher and renowned translator of French poetry.
Mr. Waldrop, a longtime professor at Brown University, had just become director of the college’s graduate writing program when the collage idea emerged as a kind of life raft for his creative output.
“It was not a difficult job, but it was endless,” he said in an interview with the National Book Foundation. “I kept thinking after hours about what I should do tomorrow and what I didn’t do yesterday, and I found after some months that I was not writing any poetry, and I didn’t like that.”Mr.
Ben Lerner, a poet, novelist and essayist who studied with Mr. Waldrop at Brown, categorized him as “a quiet major poet, a major poet of quiet,”. “His accomplishment is difficult to describe because his work refuses, in Bartleby-like fashion, the twin traps of impassivity and affectation.” Bernard Keith Waldrop was born in Emporia, Kan., on Dec. 11, 1932. His father was a railroad worker, and his mother taught piano. She was deeply religious and moved the family to a succession of fundamentalist communities.He started reading and writing poetry at a fundamentalist high school in South Carolina.
