These pieces are driven by the psychology of the men and woman roaming these pages, seeking to provide insight into the unique weight of their personal wreckage. From a woman craving motherhood who combs through forests searching for the unclaimed body of a runaway to a spitfire retiree’s struggle to accept her husband’s failing health, the individuals in these narratives are all navigating transitional spaces in their lives, often unwillingly. Along the way, they must balance the pressures of familial roles, romantic relationships, and personal histories while attempting to reshape their understanding of self. These stories explore the shifting landscape of identity, belonging, and the sometimes conflicting responsibilities we hold to others and to ourselves. v vi Dedication This manuscript is dedicated to my parents, who read me so many stories. vii viii

  • Celebrating the Best American Poetry 2018 at Villanova[3]
    Celebrating the Best American Poetry 2018 at Villanova February 6, 2019 5:00 Connelly Center Cinema 6:15 (St. David’s Room) Reception and Book Signing Villanova University is honored to host the regional launch of the thirtieth anniversary edition of The Best American Poetry, guest edited by Dana Gioia, David Lehman, general editor. For three decades, the Best American Poetry has served as an annual occasion to recognize new work by American authors; inclusion is one of the great honors established and emerging poets may receive. The anthology was officially launched at New York University, in September 2018, but Villanova now brings together six of the anthology’s authors, along with David Lehman, for an evening of reading, discussion, and fellowship on our campus. David Lehman will chair the event, which will feature short readings from six poets: Maryann Corbett, Ernest Hilbert, Mary Jo Salter, Adrienne Su, Ryan Wilson, and Villanova’s own James Matthew Wilson. The public is warmly invited to this special evening to celebrate the achievement of contemporary letters and to join us for food and conversation afterwards. This event is sponsored by the Honors Program, the Villanova Center for Liberal Education, the Department of English, and the Department of Humanities. For more information, contact James Matthew Wilson, at [email protected] About the poets Maryann Corbett was born in Washington, DC, and grew up in northern Virginia. She earned a BA from the College of William and Mary and an MA and PhD from the University of Minnesota. She has published three books of poetry: Breath Control (2012); Credo for the Checkout Line in Winter (2013), which was a finalist for the Able Muse Book Prize; and Mid Evil (2014), the winner of the Richard Wilbur Award.

  • 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.

Roberto Saviano's The Piranhas tells the story of the rise of one such gang and its leader, Nicolas-known to his friends and enemies as the Maharajah. Nicolas's ambitions reach far beyond doing other men's bidding: he wants to be the one giving the orders, calling the shots, and ruling the city. But the violence he is accustomed to wielding and witnessing soon spirals beyond his control-with tragic consequences.

  • Unha Introdución a the Sopranos'studies
    BOLETÍN GALEGO DE LITERATURA, nº 46 / 2º SEMESTRE (2011): pp. 25-43 / ISSN 02149117 ESTUDOS Co debido respecto: / unha introdución a The Sopranos’Studies STUDIES Anxo Abuín [Recibido, xullo 2011; aceptado, outubro 2011] RESUMO A televisión estase a lexitimar como obxecto de estudo, tamén dende o ámbito da Literatura Comparada. O autor propón nes- te artigo, con certa ironía, crear unha subdisciplina académica chamada The Sopranos’Studies, que se ocupará de analizar os trazos fundamentais tanto formais coma temáticos desta serie norteamericana (HBO), convertida inmediatamente en obxecto de culto. Préstase especial atención ao concepto de flexinarrativa, que sustenta a achega aos mecanismos do relato televisivo postos en práctica por esta serie. PALABRAS CHAVE: imprevisibilidade, narración, posmodernismo, Quality TV, serialidade, Os Soprano, televisión. ABSTRACT Television is becoming a legitimate object of study in the area of 25 Comparative Literature. In this article the autor proposes, some- what ironically, the creation of an academic sub-discipline called Soprano’Studies, which would deal with both the formal and thematic aspects of this US soap opera on HBO, which rapidly became a cult series. The flexinarrative technique, which allows access to the televisual narrative mechanisms used in the series, is highlighted. KEYWORDS: entropy, narrative, postmodernism, Quality TV, series, televi- sion, The Sopranos. Poucas series mereceron tanta atención crítica como a que hoxe nos ocu- pa. Son centos as recensións que un pode atopar na internet, non sempre favorábeis, pero o certo é que tamén dende o ámbito académico Os Soprano (OS, HBO, 1999-2007) suscitou un interese extraordinario que se plasma na longa lista de artigos e monografías publicadas até a data.
