   Extractions: Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Clarence Major is a teacher, fiction writer, essayist, poet and painter. Actually, you shouldn't even try to put him in a category. As soon as you do so, he will volunteer the fact that he is working on something completely different from his last project. He is an essayist who writes poetry and a novelist who writes other people's memoirs. He is a painter and the cover art of his latest book of poetry, "Configurations: New and Selected Poems 1958-1998" (Copper Canyon Press) is one of his own paintings also titled "Configurations." "I went through all of my books of poetry with the advantage of time and distance and selected the poems I thought were the best," said Major, explaining how he chose the poems to include. "I was looking for continuity, too. I left out some good poems that didn't fit the arrangement," he said. Students at UC Davis consider him mainly a fiction writer. His 1996 novel, "Dirty Bird Blues," was about a musician from the South Side of Chicago. "I work mostly with fiction writers," Major said, sitting in his English department office on campus. "But poetry is my first love. Poetry is the tool that sharpens language, that polishes speech to its finest. Fiction doesn't have to be like poetry, but it helps if the language is fresh and sharp.

    A review by Elisabeth Sherwin.  
    http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/go/gizmo/clarence.html
    
    Extractions: Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Clarence Major , UC Davis professor of English, likes to adopt different voices in his novels. In "Such Was the Season" he spoke in the voice of an elderly black woman. In "Painted Turtle" he adopted the point of view of a young Native American woman. In his latest novel, "Dirty Bird Blues," he writes in the voice of a 25-year-old blues musician. This is a tough, gritty novel that traces the progression of Manfred Banks down the nearly hopeless road of alcoholism. The time is just after World War II. The place is the South Side of Chicago. Banks knows he's jeopardizing his marriage and the love of his wife and daughter, but the seductive pull of music, his male buddies, and Old Crow whiskey (also known as Dirty Bird) is nearly too much for him to resist. Like a good alcoholic, he decides to leave his troubles behind by moving from Chicago to Omaha. There he deals with the troubles of a new job and a racist boss. He misses his wife but seems to know that his attempts at reform are half-hearted and doomed to failure. The question is: Will he forsake his family and hit bottom or embrace his responsibilities? You'll have to read Major's book to find out what happens. I asked Major where his idea for "Dirty Bird Blues" came from.

13. They Feared That He Believed
    Poem by Clarence Major from For Malcolm.  
    http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~moritz/Archive/malcolmx/clarencemajor_theyfearedth
    
    Extractions: Clarence Major They Feared That He Believed The press boys tried to erase what he said. Smear it. Change it. This meant that he no longer trusted the lies of the times. Too strong in his manhood. This meant that reason was no longer reason. What he said showed them he did not see the world through THEIR eyes. This frightened them: And his death came. Was not permitted by magic to take; he was not here long enough for the final exams- so no showdown came: because the cops and the lie still lived. in "For Malcolm", p.6, in "Part I. The Life"
