  • Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature
    Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature By Juliana Hui-xin Chow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Professor Anne-Lise François Professor Sophie Volpp Spring 2015 Abstract Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature by Juliana Hui-xin Chow Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Literature of Diminishment redefines regionalism as a philosophical approach that prefers a partial view of oneself and of others, whether human or nonhuman, rather than the comprehensive view pursued by nineteenth-century science. I show how American regionalist writings from the 1820s to 1910s adapt scientific techniques of observation to the aesthetics of the regionalist sketch. Their "sketchy" view of Nature highlights the deficiencies of knowing and nonetheless opens out to a view of biological processes and succession in which life cedes to life through its casualties. Regionalist literature is, then, less a literature of particular cultural or geographical regions as it is a literature whose principles of diminishment might insist on the roughness and limits of a regional setting. The archive of works I draw upon extends from environmental literature—the nature writings of John James Audubon, Henry David Thoreau, and Celia Thaxter—to less conventionally regionalist texts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries such as works by Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Gertrude Stein.

Her mother was a poet, as were many close friends. We know from well-worn books in Mitchell’s library that Rilke was a favorite. Looking at the artist portraits and stories that follow in this book, we at the Foundation also turned to Rilke, a poet known for his letters of advice to a young artist.

  • Poesía Cubana Orlando Rodríguez Sardiñas (Rossardi) Y Jesús J
    Poesía cubana Orlando Rodríguez Sardiñas (Rossardi) y Jesús J. Barquet Poesía cubana: primeras manifestaciones hasta 1990 Orlando Rodríguez Sardiñas (Rossardi) Cubanos emigrados, exililados y cubano-americanos Los cubanos han llegado a los Estados Unidos en olas sucesivas de emigraciones y en su mayoría con carácter de exiliados desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta la fecha, y se han dis- tribuido con preferencia primero en las ciudades de Tampa, Cayo Hueso y Nueva York, y más tarde, ya avanzado el siglo XX, en la ciudad de Miami. Otros grupos, desde 1850 hoy día, pueden ser localizados en casi todas las grandes ciudades norteamericanas, especial- mente aquellas situadas en la costa del Atlántico. Desde muy temprano, en su residencia en suelo extranjero el cubano se ha mantenido intelectualmente activo intentando con gran afán divulgar sus creaciones artísticas, publicando su producción literaria —con par- ticular afecto la poesía— en folletines y periódicos, además de lograr reunirla luego en for- ma de libro, como es muestra la antología El laúd del desterrado (Nueva York, 1858), que reú- ne la producción poética de un grupo de emigrados de entonces como José Agustín Quintero (1829-1885), Pedro Santacilia (1826-1910), Pedro Ángel Castellón (1820-1856), Leo- poldo Turla (1818-1877) y Juan Clemente Zenea (1832-1871). Ya por esas fechas los esfuerzos editoriales de los cubanos serán múltiples y muy variados. Algunos publican colecciones como el poemario El Arpa del Proscripto (Nueva York, 1856), de Pedro Santacilia y otros sacan a la luz más de una docena de periódicos y folletos de todo tipo como El Horizonte (Nueva York, 1850), de Miguel Teurbe Tolón, La verdad (Nueva York, 1848-1860), El Mulato (Nue- va York, 1854) y El Eco de Cuba (Nueva York, 1855), escritos en español aunque con algún con- tenido en inglés y que dedicaban sus páginas mayormente a dar informes del conflicto de los criollos con el Gobierno de la Península, pero que a su vez ofrecían, aquí y allá, poemas y artículos sobre arte y literatura de plumas distinguidas.

He preferred to read comics and mystery books on the morning ride to Trace Middle. But on this day, a Monday (Roy would never forget), Dana Matherson grabbed Roy’s head from behind and pressed his thumbs into Roy’s temple, as if he were squeezing a soccer ball. The older kids were supposed to stay in the back of the bus, but Dana had snuck up be- hind Roy’s seat and ambushed him. When Roy tried to wriggle free, Dana mushed his face against the window. It was then, squinting through the smudged glass, that Roy spotted the strange boy running along the sidewalk. It appeared as if he was hurrying to catch the school bus, which had stopped at a corner to pick up more kids. The boy was straw-blond and wiry, and his skin was nut-brown from the sun. The expression on his face was intent and serious. He wore a faded Miami Heat basket- ball jersey and dirty khaki shorts, and here was the odd part: no shoes. The soles of his bare feet looked as black 3 KC_Hiaasen_ChaptrSmplrINT.qxp:Layout 1 4/1/13 3:25 PM Page 30 as barbecue coals.
