Karl Shapiro Karl Shapiro, young American poet, will discuss problems in poetry and read from his own work in lecture at 4:15 p.m. today in Kellogg Auditorium. Shapiro attracted attention just before the war and continued his work during the war, writing his best known volume, "Essay on Rime," while he was stationed in the South Pacific. He has been called "a very talented poet" by critics. Essay on Rime," which makes the problems of poetry themselves the subject matter of the poem, is the latest example of the verse- essay form, which has been used by Horace, Boileau and Pope. "Es- ;ay on Rime," however, is writ- ten in blank verse and attempts to use language emotionally and not as number," as Shapiro wrote. It is a study of the confusions and obscurities confronting the mod- ern poet, and contains many eval uations of the famous poets. Other volumes of verse that have attracted attention include "Per- son, Place and Thing" and "V- Letter."
