Poet Stanley Moss, 99.
― the possibility of relaxing (Eazy), Sunday, 7 July 2024 21:46 (two months ago) link
Even after he was noticed, it was a struggle. At 52, he founded a poetry publishing company in New York. It barely covered his expenses.But by then, an old connection had come to his rescue. In 1969, he befriended the heirs of an Italian nobleman who after his death had left a trove of Spanish and Italian old master paintings. Starting as an agent for the nobleman’s heirs, he began selling art to the Louvre, the Prado, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty and other major museums. As a result, he became prosperous enough to finance his life as a poet.

xpost Not that getting published reflects a legacy, but Moss had 17 poems in The New Yorker 1968-2019 and at least 32 in Poetry. And being born in 1925, he's probably one of the very last poets of that generation (so many of the heavy hitters born '27-'29).

oh, so he’s one of those poets, thankfully dying off, that APR and other publications love— one who rejects modernism and any sort of difficulty or experiment in favor of a legible, autobiographical style that could easily be prose. no wonder i haven’t heard of him, this stuff is sub-Kooser crap

pretension, sure. insecurity? what about having an opinion on something do you all dislike so much? i tend to not give much to poetry or poets i dislike, especially when they seem a part of the post-war trend toward the ennobled individual just telling their American story as plainly as possible. this CIA-endorsed pablum is not to my liking! it’s boring! tho Keyes, you do have a point, so i will say that I am glad he lived a long life and has many apparent fans in his wake. may light guide his transition— and i write that in complete sincerity. i just don’t like his poems!

you jumped into the obit thread to shit on a guy you'd never heard of and whose work you'd never read. who does that?! why aren't you popping in to slag dead british footballers? when other authors die does, say, dr3w dan1el show up and say 'never read him; glad he's dead'?
oh, it's because you need to be seen as ILX's Special Poetry Boy, so you have to weigh in whether you know anything about it or not. even a *normal* Special Poetry Boy might have said 'never heard of him, checked a few things out, not my kind of thing.' or simply said nothing at all! but you so desperately need to be cutting-edge that you'll bury anything too 'popular' sight unseen.

The Puma Blues is one of my all-time faves. I picked this up from him at the 1987 San Diego Comic Con and it's been on my wall ever since. I understand he had been in poor health in recent years.

Oh fuck. Puma Blues was HUGE for me. I had the t shirt. The minicomics. Met him at a convention. He had the original art for the cancelled Swamp Thing issue. If you don’t know the story, Rick Veitch’s run had Swanp Thing traveling through time (after Alan Moore had him traveling through space) and Zulli drew the issue where he was going to appear at the crucification of Jesus. DC pulled the plug on the issue and Veitch quit. At the convention I said “wow, so this is the non-issue” too which Zulli replied “actually it was quite a big issue”. I then paid him ten bucks to get an original drawing, flying manta of course. Had it for a few weeks then my mom took it to get framed in the city and it was stolen out of the trunk of her car with some luggage. Broke my heart. I need to reread, I got the collected book a few years ago but haven’t read them all since the comic was new. He was a great artist.
