  • Henri Cole Awarded Jackson Poetry Prize
    April 5, 2012 Contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rachel Schuder Development and Marketing Manager Poets & Writers, Inc. (212) 226-3586, x201, [email protected] HENRI COLE AWARDED JACKSON POETRY PRIZE New York, NY – Poets & Writers, Inc. has announced that Henri Cole is the sixth winner of the Jackson Poetry Prize. The $50,000 prize is given annually to honor an American poet of exceptional talent who deserves wider recognition. The award is designed to provide what all poets need: time and the encouragement to write. Mr. Cole was selected by three esteemed judges—the poets Louise Glück, Marilyn Hacker, and James Tate. There was no application process. Poets were nominated by a panel of their peers who remain anonymous. The judges’ citation for Mr. Cole reads as follows: “Henri Cole has the voluptuary’s fastidious preoccupation with sensation— rather, say, an almost Japanese vocation for connoisseurship. But what is most striking in this work is its composure. Cole’s poems do not strain for attention; for all their casual, anecdotal worldliness and natural diction, they project an eerie gravity. The poems’ shimmering, enigmatic tranquility coexists with intense feeling: they are clear without being stodgy, striking in their poise and delicacy and formal beauty without seeming, ever, mere exquisite diversions. He is an artist of the greatest gifts.” Henri Cole was born in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1956 and raised in Virginia. He has published eight collections of poetry, including Touch (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2011), and Middle Earth (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2004), which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry.

  • The Mid-Twentieth-Century American Poetic Speaker in the Works of Robert Lowell, Frank O’Hara, and George Oppen
    “THE OCCASION OF THESE RUSES”: THE MID-TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICAN POETIC SPEAKER IN THE WORKS OF ROBERT LOWELL, FRANK O’HARA, AND GEORGE OPPEN A dissertation submitted by Matthew C. Nelson In partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In English TUFTS UNIVERSITY May 2016 ADVISER: VIRGINIA JACKSON Abstract This dissertation argues for a new history of mid-twentieth-century American poetry shaped by the emergence of the figure of the poetic speaker as a default mode of reading. Now a central fiction of lyric reading, the figure of the poetic speaker developed gradually and unevenly over the course of the twentieth century. While the field of historical poetics draws attention to alternative, non-lyric modes of address, this dissertation examines how three poets writing in this period adapted the normative fiction of the poetic speaker in order to explore new modes of address. By choosing three mid-century poets who are rarely studied beside one another, this dissertation resists the aesthetic factionalism that structures most historical models of this period. My first chapter, “Robert Lowell’s Crisis of Reading: The Confessional Subject as the Culmination of the Romantic Tradition of Poetry,” examines the origins of M.L. Rosenthal’s phrase “confessional poetry” and analyzes how that the autobiographical effect of Robert Lowell’s poetry emerges from a strange, collage-like construction of multiple texts and non- autobiographical subjects. My second chapter reads Frank O’Hara’s poetry as a form of intentionally averted communication that treats the act of writing as a surrogate for the poet’s true object of desire.

  • ARTS and SCIENCES News & Updates
    ARTS and SCIENCES News & Updates April 21, 2010 A MESSAGE FROM DEAN STEINMETZ Dear Faculty and Staff, Spring is in full bloom, as those suffering pollen allergies know all too well, and May is just around the corner. I want to remind you of two important dates. First, the May 4 Ohio election. I call your attention to this particular election, because State Issue 1 is on the ballot. State Issue 1 renews funding for Ohio’s successful Third Frontier jobs program; which, since its inception in 2002, has helped Ohio grow its economy by creating more than 48,000 jobs, develop new products and companies, and lessen Ohio’s “brain drain,” by providing opportunities for our students to stay here after graduation. Ohio State has played a key role in the Third Frontier; our involvement in 60 projects has led to more than 200 business and industry partnerships, has created/attracted 26 companies, and has led to the filing of 125 patents. State Issue 1 is a win-win situation for everyone and the shot in the arm our state’s economy needs to continue its recovery. State Issue 1 will not increase your taxes; it is supported by Democrats and Republicans alike, and by a large coalition of labor, agriculture, and business groups. When you go to the polls on May 4, remember State Issue 1. It’s important for Ohio and for The Ohio State University. Second, there is little more than a week to go in Campus Campaign 2010; the active phase ends on April 30.
