A Glamorously Hopeless Cause

“Concepts, too, have feelings,” Carter Ratcliff says in his afterword to “Arrivederci, Modernismo:”

I am not saying that a concept — “number,” for example, or “constitutionality” — is literally capable of emotions. What I mean is that there is an emotional tone to the understanding of such things.

An art critic, a writer who specializes in the analysis of mute artworks, who intuits the messages and emotional tenor of physical objects — perhaps such a writer is more comfortable talking about “emotions” in this broad way. But by 1974, when the poem first appeared, Her Majesty Modernismo had already been deposed by poets who said “I wanted to be more myself,” including James Merrill, who went from writing poems such as “The Black Swan” to writing more personal, personable, poems that explored — among many other things, of course — his immediate family. I could never really understand this historic shift.
