Prof reads his poetry
BROWER'S POETRY is in free verse. "Rhythm has been somewhat exhausted," he said.
"I think I would classify myself as a professor who writes poetry and not as a poet," said Gary Brower, assistant professor of Spanish and Portuguese as he introduced himself at the SUA Poetry Hour yesterday in the Kansas Union.
By JOHN GANGI
Before reading his own poetry, he said, "I think the poems stand on their own merits and do not have to be rationalized."
His first poem was entitled "The Sound of One Hand Clapping." He said it was dedicated to the people of Nagasaki.
"Poetry should be artistic and social. I seek a balance between form and content," he said.
He read about a dozen more. Many, such as "Waves Sunning," dealt with nature as he viewed it.
ONE ENTITLED "Drum Shadows," which he said is not political, was a description of the effects of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
"The Network News" dealt with the conflicts in Vietnam, he said, but even more with the unfeeling of the American people.
Introducing the poem "Some Summers" he said. "It is rather cryptic. So cryptic that I don't know what it is saying."

Most of Brower's poetry was
easily understood and well received. "The Sound of One Hand Clapping" and "The Network News" made the most favorable impressions as the audience responded with a two-hand clapping.
