OUTRAM o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2005-02-01 published
Richard OUTRAM,
Poet 1930-2005
Writer who was a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation stagehand
by day viewed the world in a grain of sand. A private and intensely
emotional man, his devotion to his art was nourished by a lifelong
love of his wife, writes Sandra
MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN,
Tuesday,
February 1, 2005 - Page S7
On the coldest night of the winter, poet, stagehand and widower
Richard OUTRAM, having consumed a quantity of pills and drink,
sat on the enclosed side porch of his house in Port Hope, Ontario,
and, in a grand Blakean gesture, contemplated the universe and
quietly allowed himself to die.
Everything that made his life joyful emanated from his love for
his wife and collaborator, the artist Barbara
HOWARD.
She died
in 2002 during an operation to fix a broken hip. "Devotion is
not too strong a word," said writer Barry
CALLAGHAN. "
The two
of them fed each other beautifully and with enormous intensity.
They were the closing of the couplet. So, what are you going
to do with a one-line couplet? He really was his work and his
love for her."
Mr. OUTRAM was not the only poet to have a day job that required
entirely different skills from his literary vocation. The poet
Raymond SOUSTER, for example, spent his working life at the Canadian
Imperial
Bank of Commerce. It was Mr.
OUTRAM's conscious decision
to spend his days at physical labour so his mind would be free
in the evenings to devote to his poetry. But unlike other working
poets, such as Mr.
SOUSTER,
Mr.
OUTRAM won very little popular
or critical acclaim.
Although he published steadily for more than 40 years, he won
only one major prize -- the City of Toronto Book Award in 1999
for his volume Benedict Abroad. There is only one book-length
critical study of his work, Peter Sanger's "Her kindled shadow..."
An Introduction to the Work of Richard
OUTRAM, which was published
in limited numbers by The Antigonish Review in 2001.
Instead of a popular audience, he had a series of passionate
champions, such as Mr. Sanger, a retired academic. "Richard has
both a physical and a metaphysical orientation that isn't compromised
at either level," explained Mr. Sanger. "When Richard writes
well there is absolutely no distinction between those two levels."
Although Mr. Sanger agrees some poems are better than others,
he says what makes Mr.
OUTRAM's work stand out is its "magnificence
coherence." Every poem is ultimately linked to the rest of his
body of work.
Richard Daley
OUTRAM was born in Oshawa, Ontario, the son of
Mary Muriel
DALEY, a teacher, and Alfred Allan
OUTRAM, an engineer
who served in the artillery in The First World War and was wounded
at Ypres in Belgium. His mother's father was a Methodist minister
who was deeply involved in the negotiations to form the United
Church of Canada in 1925. His paternal grandfather ran the hardware
store in Port Hope, the town east of Oshawa where Mr.
OUTRAM
and his wife moved in 2000.
Shortly after young Richard's birth, his parents moved to the
Leaside area of Toronto. As a teenager, Mr.
OUTRAM was already
interested in music and botany, two areas that remained central
to his poetry for the rest of his life. Graduating from Leaside
Secondary School in 1949, he went that autumn to Victorian College
at the University of Toronto to begin an honours degree in English
and Philosophy. There he encountered two professors, philosopher
Emil FACKENHEIM and literary critic Northrop
FRYE, both of whom
had a huge impact on the way he thought about the world. He also
enlisted as an officer cadet in the reserve system of the Royal
Canadian Navy, spending the summers of 1950 and 1951 aboard frigates
in the Bay of Fundy and
at H. M. C. S. Stadacona in Halifax.
After he graduated from the University of Toronto in 1953, he
worked for a year at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in
Toronto as a stagehand and then moved to England where he found
a job in the same capacity for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
It was in London that he first began to write poetry and where,
in 1954, he met visual artist Barbara
HOWARD.
From that meeting
their lives were entwined until her death in 2002.
"You can't speak of them apart," said Louise
DENNYS, executive
vice-president of Random House Canada. "They were so completely
connected and so beloved of each other, and that is what proved
in the end to be impossible for him to live without."
Four years older than Mr.
OUTRAM,
Ms.
HOWARD was born in Toronto
in 1926, began drawing as a child, graduated with honours and
a silver medal from the Ontario College of Art in 1951 and then
taught school to earn enough money to continue her studies in
the major art centres of Europe.
They returned to Canada in 1956 and Mr.
OUTRAM went back to working
as a stage hand and then crew leader at the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation, a job he would hold until he retired at 60 in June,
1990. The late typographical designer Allan
FLEMING/FLEMMING (of the Canadian
National logo among other work) was the best man at their wedding
in April, 1957, and also the designer and publisher of Mr.
OUTRAM's
first collection, Eight Poems, a chapbook with a print run of
190 copies that appeared in 1959 under the Tortoise Press imprint.
The next year, Mr.
OUTRAM and Ms.
HOWARD founded The Gauntlet
Press, producing an elegant series of hand-printed volumes of
Mr. OUTRAM's poetry over the years decorated with Ms.
HOWARD's
beautifully coloured wood engravings.
Early in their marriage, the
OUTRAMs had a daughter who lived
for only a day. His grief is encased in several poems including
Sarah, which appeared in his first major collection, Exsultate,
Jubilate (1966,) an elegant volume designed by Mr.
FLEMING/FLEMMING and
published by Macmillan Co. of Canada.
Toronto writer Barry
CALLAGHAN, who was one of the hosts on Weekend,
a local Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television show, met
Mr. OUTRAM on the set in the late 1960s. "I became aware of this
intense man standing beside the camera, dressed like a guy working
on the floor but staring at me like a hawk," Mr.
CALLAGHAN said
in a telephone conversation. After the two men struck up a conversation,
"I discovered this very isolated and intensely intellectual man
who was interested in poetry and ideas."
In the middle 1970s, Mr.
OUTRAM took the manuscript for Turns
and Other Poems to the now defunct Clarke Irwin publishing house.
Two young editors, Susan
KEENE and Louise
DENNYS pushed the collection,
but Clarke Irwin was already in its demise and was doing very
little original publishing.
"He had a shining, sharp, sense of the natural world and he was
able to give it a sense of form, a sense of greatness larger
than and one moment," said Ms.
DENNYS. "He saw the world in a
grain of sand and he did that in a way that was very beautiful
and very particular to his work and to him."
Ms. DENNYS wanted to find a way to publish the book and Mr.
OUTRAM
suggested she meet his friend bookseller Hugh
ANSON-
CARTWRIGHT.
Bookseller and poet had met years before, the way such people
usually do, over a volume of Mr.
OUTRAM's poetry that Mr.
ANSON-
CARTWRIGHT
was trying to sell in his bookstore. Then it turned out that
they were neighbours and a lifelong Friendship ensured.
The
Christmas of 1974, Ms.
DENNYS took the manuscript on a visit
home to her parents in England and cold-visited the Hogarth Press,
a division of Chatto and Windus. She met poetry editor D. J. Enright,
who eventually offered to publish Mr.
OUTRAM's poems. She came
back to Canada and was able to tell Mr.
ANSON-
CARTWRIGHT that
if he wanted to form a little publishing company, here was a
British partner. That is how Turns and Other Poems was published
by Chatto and Windus with the Hogarth Press in London in 1975
and by Anson-Cartwright Editions in Toronto the following year.
"That moment, when I elided happily in his life back then, was
a moment of great pride for Hugh and for me too," she said. "It
was the first time that I was involved directly in a book's publication."
Mr. ANSON-
CARTWRIGHT published another volume of
OUTRAM poems,
The Promise of Light in 1979 and Mr. Callaghan's Exile Editions
did a Selected Poems in 1984. "He had a fantastic sense of form
and a musical ear for what he was doing that was almost perfect,
but often his poems were the prisoner of his skill," said Mr.
CALLAGHAN, adding that "you can't be first rate every time out
and there are times when the form traps what he is trying to
do."
Shortly after writer Alberto
MANGUEL arrived in Canada in 1983,
he met Mr.
OUTRAM. "I was awed at first by the strange combination
of intelligence and devastating humour," said Mr.
MANGUEL. "
For
all the seriousness of his poetry, he was a very funny man."
After reading Mr.
OUTRAM's poetry, Mr.
MANGUEL says he was surprised,
as he has been so many times in Canada, that "a poet of Richard's
magnitude" was not celebrated around the world. "Richard's poems
were very serious and complex, and in many cases they required
a lot of time and patience from readers," said Mr.
MANGUEL. "
You
had to disentangle the references and look up the words, but
it was always worthwhile. When you discovered what he meant,
the poem built to a different level."
The next person to publish Mr.
OUTRAM was Tim
INKSTER of The
Porcupine's Quill, who released Man in Love (1985), Hiram and
Jenny (1989) Mogul Recollected (1993) and Dove Legend (2001).
"It is incredibly elegant and sophisticated and passionate and
demanding and even, to a lot of people, off-putting, because
verbally it is immensely clever and full of allusions and references,"
said writer and poetry editor John
METCALF. "It is probably some
of the most rewarding stuff that has been written in Canada."
Writing poetry, even life itself, lost its purpose for Mr.
OUTRAM
after his wife died. "Richard was always sending me poems that
he loved by other people," said Mr.
MANGUEL, mentioning the poem
Winter Remembered by John Crowe Ransom about an "... Absence,
in the heart, /" that was too great to bear and how the only
way to soothe it was to "...walk forth in the frozen air/."
"He must have been thinking of that poem," concluded Mr.
MANGUEL
sadly.
Funambulist by Richard
OUTRAM, 1975
I work on a slender strand
Slung between two poles
Braced fifteen feet apart.
My patient father coached me
From childhood to fall unhurt,
Then set me again and again
On a crude slack-rope he rigged
Out back of our caravan,
Raising the rope by inches:
Now, I'm the only acrobat
In the world to include in his act,
As finale, a one-hand-stand
Thirty feet from the ground
With no net. I married
A delicate, lithe girl
From another circus family.
We are very happy. She stands
On the circular platform top
Of one pole, to steady me
As I reach the steep, last,
Incredibly difficult slope
Near the pole: when I turn about
To retrace my steps, no matter
How quickly I spin, she is there
At the top of the opposite pole,
Waiting, her arms outstretched.
From Turns and Other Poems, published by
ANSON-
CARTWRIGHT
Editions.
