Poetry meant many different things at the time—it was at once art form, popular entertainment, instructional medium, and forum for sociopolitical commentary. The poems that appeared in periodicals of the era are therefore integral to our understanding of how the populace felt about any issue of consequence. Writers seized on this uniquely persuasive genre to win readers over to their cause, and perhaps most memorable among them are the abolitionists. Antislavery activists turned to poetry so as to connect both emotionally and rationally with a wide audience on a regular basis. By speaking out on behalf of those who could not speak for themselves, their poems were one of the most effective means of bearing witness to, and thus also protesting, a reprehensible institution. These pleas for justice proved ef- fective by insisting on the right of freedom of speech at a time when it ap- peared to be in jeopardy.

PREFACE This is the third edition, with additions and amendments (and a renumbering), of the edition originally published in 2004 by White Sheep Press. The intention of this checklist is to list all of the writings published by Abercrombie (although there are almost certainly a large number of book reviews and articles for the Nation that have not been traced). However, without this essential building block, which puts his works into context, meaningful analysis and criticism of his work is difficult. This is a working document, and if you would like to help make it a definitive list, please send any amendments and additions to me at [email protected]. They will be incorporated in the list and acknowledged. The format of the checklist is chronological, in order of first publication in periodical and book form. It should be borne in mind that there is a bibliographical hierarchy: contributions to periodicals, then contributions to books, and finally principal books.

  • The Same Old Song
    Volumen 7, Número 1 Primavera 2016 Beatriz Rivera-Barnes Penn State University Yes, It Isn’t: Afro-Caribbean Identity in Puerto Rican Poetry, from Guayama to Loisaida “Ten con ten”: an untranslatable tonal palindrome, and the title of a poem by the Puerto Rican Luis Palés Matos. It is rendered as “Neither this nor That” in Julio Marzán’s anthology of twentieth century Puerto Rican poetry, Inventing a Word. In this poem, Palés refers to his green island, outlined in pirate and black: “Estás, en pirata y negro/mi isla verde estilizada” (Palés 2002, 139). If I have opted for outlined rather than Marzán’s choice of designed to interpret the poet’s estilizada, it is because of the two lines that follow: “el negro te da la sombra/te da la linea el pirata.” (the black man giving you the hue/and the pirate the line) Again, the translation is mine, and certainly el negro could simply be black, the color, but here el negro is weighed against el pirata, and both are contributing to the form and contour of the island that is located: “en un sí es que no es de raza/un ten con ten de abolengo/que te hace tan antillana . .” (in a yes it isn’t about race/a blurriness of lineage/that makes you so Antillean . .) (All translations are mine unless otherwise indicated.) Ambivalence, incongruity, contradiction, ambiguity: all negative words? No necessarily, but all components of “Ten con ten,” of the Antillean psyche, of the need to find a sound and a word to express all Beatriz Rivera Barnes 166 Volumen 7, Número 1 Primavera 2016 those souls, so much asking to be addressed and to be sung in Puerto Rican negritude poetry.

  • James Russell Lowell - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.

    144 Off Campus: Seggau School of Thought 6 Monica Cristiana Irimia Repressed Culture and Otherness in “Yo Soy Joaquín” and “Puerto Rican Obituary” Abstract This paper provides an analysis of two poems, Yo Soy Joaquin and Puerto Rican Obituary, which stand as manifestos for two radically sociopolitical engagements, the Chicano/a movement and the Nuyorican movement. Both texts deal with the inferior status of minorities in the US and reflect upon issues such as racism, oppression, cultural survival, cultural pride, diversity, ethnic pluralism. This article explores the similarities between two texts that come from rather different cultural areas. The paper also analyzes the stylistic devices involved in the making of the poems. Both poems are elegies for asserting one's cultural heritage and acknowledging one's true identity.

  • New Nuyorican Poets, Voices and Sounds: an Interview with Jaime Shaggy Flores
    New Nuyorican Poets, Voices and Sounds: An Interview with Jaime Shaggy Flores Felicia L. Fahey, Bates College Liz Hoagland, Bates College Abstract In this interview Jaime "Shaggy" Flores talks about recent changes within the Nuyorican poetry movement and the emergence of two new generations of poets over the last two decades. He discusses a number of issues including the ongoing "island" vs. "mainland" debate, the impact of music on both generations, race and class differences, and his own views about the place of Nuyorican poetry within the African diaspora and Black cultures of the United States. New Nuyorican Poets, Voices and Sounds: When Jaime Flores, aka Shaggy, enters a theater or performance space, he doesn't enter quietly but as a catalyzing burst of energy. Transforming the space with vibration, he glides down the central isle delivering the simulated sounds of a human beat box, drawing the audience into an excited focus. Once on stage, he faces the crowd and gracefully pauses to find a breath before making his way through a verse from a traditional Yoruba Afro-Caribbean song: "Yemaya hace su, hace su Yemaya!" Hip Hop, African cultural traditions and a strong sense of performance indeed define Shaggy's poetic style, but his references are multiple, ranging from popular culture to spiritual rituals. Shaggy also plays on various poetic genres, including erotic and romantic poetry. As one of the young up-and-coming poets who has worked to reinvigorate the Nuyorican poetry movement in recent years, Shaggy brings a scholarly attitude to what he refers to as cultural work.

  • Nuyorican and Diasporican Literature and Culture E
    Nuyorlcan and Diasporican Uterature and Culture Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Literature Nuyorican and Diasporican Literature and Culture e Jorge Duany Subject: American Literature, Literary Studies (20th Centwy Onward) Online Publication Date: jan 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190201098.013.387 Summary and K.eywords The term "Nuyorican" (in its various spellings) refers to the cornbination of "Puerto Rican" and "NewYorker." The sobriquet became a popular shorthand for the Puerto Rican exodus to the United States after World War II. Since the mid-1960s, the neologism became associated with the literary and artistic movement known as "Nuyorican." The movement was institutionalized with the 1973 founding ofthe Nuyorican Poets Café in the Lower East Side of Manhattan by Miguel Algarín and Miguel Piñero. Much of Nuyorican literature featured frequent autobiographical references, the predominance of the English language, street slang, realism, parodie humor, subversiva politics, and a ruptura with the island's literary models. Since the 1980s, the literature of the Puerto Rican diaspora has been characterized as "post-Nuyorican" or "Diasporican" to capture sorne of its stylistic and thematic shifts, including a movement away from urban blight. violence, colloquialism, and radicalism. The Bronx-born poet Maria Teresa ("Mariposa") Fernández coined the term "Diasporican" in a celebrated 1993 poem. Contemporary texts written by Puerto Ricans in the United States also reflect their growing dispersa! from their initial concentration in New York City.
