The head of the Library of Congress is to name Donald Hall, a writer whose deceptively simple language builds on images of the New England landscape, as the nation’s 14th poet laureate today.
Mr. Hall, a poet in the distinctive American tradition of Robert Frost, has also been a harsh critic of the religious right’s influence on government arts policy. And as a member of the advisory council of the National Endowment for the Arts during the administration of George H. W. Bush, he referred to those he thought were interfering with arts grants as "bullies and art bashers.
He will succeed Ted Kooser, the Nebraskan who has been the poet laureate since 2004.
The announcement of Mr. Hall’s appointment is to be made by James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress. Mr. Billington said that he chose Mr. Hall because of "the sustained quality of his poetry, the reach and the variety of things he talks about." Like Mr. Kooser, Mr. Billington said," Mr. Hall evokes a sense of place.
Mr. Hall, 77, lives in a white clapboard farmhouse in Wilmot, N. H., that has been in his family for generations. He said in a telephone interview that he didn’t see the poet laureateship as a bully pulpit. "But it’s a pulpit anyway," he said. "If I see First Amendment violations, I will speak up."
Mr. Hall is an extremely productive writer who has published about 18 books of poetry, 20 books of prose and 12 children’s books. He has won many awards, including a national Book Critics Circle Award in 1989 for "The One Day", a collection.
In recent years much of his poetry has been preoccupied with the death of his wife, the poet Jane Ken-yon, in 1995.
Robert Pinsky, who was poet laureate from 1997 to 2000 said he welcomed Mr. Hall’s appointment, especially in light of his previous outspokenness about politics and arts. "There is something nicely symbolic, and maybe surprising," Mr. Pinsky said, "that they have selected someone who has taken a stand for freedom. "
The position carries an award of $ 35, 000 and $ 5, 000 travel allowance. It usually lasts a year, though poets are sometimes reappointed.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
选项
A、Mr. Hall has published many books and magazines on poems.
B、Mr. Hall is a critic of literature in the U. S.
C、Mr. Hall has got many prizes for his talents in writing.
D、Mr. Hall has got support from his predecessors.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。文章第六段提到,霍尔是个高产作家,获得过许多奖项,其作品集《那一日》曾获1989年的全美书评人协会奖,故答案为[C]项。第六段提到霍尔出版过18本诗集、20本散文集和12本儿童文学作品,没有提到他出版过杂志,故排除[A]项;第二段第一句提到,霍尔是对宗教右翼干涉美国文艺政策的尖锐批评者,并非文学评论家,故排除[B]项;文中仅提到1997至2000年间任桂冠诗人的罗伯特.品斯基对霍尔出任桂冠诗人表示欢迎,没有提到其他前任桂冠诗人对霍尔的支持,故排除[D]项。
