Poetry, Place, and Spiritual Practices by Katharine Bubel BA, Trinity

My research examines the selected poems for their reimagination of the sacred perceived through attachments to particular places. For these writers, poetry is a constitutive practice, part of a way of life that includes desire for wise participation in the more-than-human community. Taking into account the poets’ critical reflections and historical-cultural contexts, along with a range of critical and philosophical sources, the poetry is examined as a discursive spiritual exercise. It is seen as conjoined with other focal practices of place, notably meditative walking and attentive looking and listening under the influence of ecospiritual eros. -

Jan Zwicky In this essay, I argue, via a revision of Freud’s notions of primary and secondary process, that experiences of resonant form lie at the root of many serious ineffability claims. I suggest further that Western European culture’s resistance to the perception of resonant form underlies some of its present crises. Is there anything that is genuinely ineffable? If so, how is it possible to think about it or to understand it? It is fashionable in some philosophical circles to express impatience with these ques- tions. The word ‘ineffable’, some will urge, is itself a predicate—one that obviously cannot be predicated of anything on pain of self-contradiction.1 Others, content to dismiss the paradox as a minor metalinguistic knot, nonetheless assert -

What Is Lyric Philosophy? Warren Heiti
Introduction: What Is Lyric Philosophy? Warren Heiti Philosophy and Literature, Volume 39, Number 1, April 2015, pp. 188-201 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/phl.2015.0000 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/593935 Accessed 27 Nov 2017 14:31 GMT In Focus: Reflections on Lyric Philosophy Warren Heiti INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS LYRIC PHILOSOPHY? Abstract. What is lyric philosophy? The clearest response to that ques- tion is the book-length investigation by Canadian philosopher and poet Jan Zwicky. If philosophy can be defined as thinking in love with clarity, then lyric philosophy might be roughly understood as such thinking in which clarity assumes the form of resonance. Among her paradigmatic lyric philosophers, Zwicky includes (inter alia) the aphorists Herakleitos and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Lyric is distinguished by its deep structure, which is polydimensional and integrative. Epistemically, this structure responds to the gestural root of meaning, which is ineffably manifest in the physical world. hat is lyric philosophy? The clearest response to that question Wconsists in roughly six hundred pages: a book-length meditation that incorporates the philosophical forms of aphorism and dialogue and the musical form of polyphony in an integrative effort to show what it means: namely Lyric Philosophy, by the Canadian philosopher, poet, and musician Jan Zwicky.1 Importantly, criteria for the concept of lyric philosophy are never stipulated in that book, and refraining from such stipulation is connected with the very nature of the investigation. “Lyric meaning,” writes Zwicky, “is proto-linguistic. It underlies and informs linguistic meaning but is, at the same time, broader in scope. -

Although seldom paired by criticis, their scholarly and creative methods are comparable, serving as examples of lyric – a term that, through Zwicky’s work especially, signifies a contemporary movement in Éditeur(s) which poets and scholars resist what they see as prescriptive and unethical programs for academic pursuit. By allowing diverse genres of research and University of New Brunswick, Dept. of English writing to infiltrate their writings, Carson and Zwicky have helped bring the political assumptions and cultural ramifications of certain academic ISSN conventions to light. Notably, in two controversial critiques of these writers and their work, David Solway and Zach Wells implicitly attribute the lyric 0380-6995 (imprimé) approach to a markedly feminine and naive intellectual stance.

Lorne Pierce, Ryerson Press, and the Lmakters of Canadian Literature Series
Lorne Pierce, Ryerson Press, and The lMakters of Canadian Literature Series Margery Fee Probably every university library in Canada has, scattered through its Cana- dian Literatuire section, most of the thirteen blue and gold volumes of Ryer- son Press's Makers of Canadian Literature series.' It is just as probable that some of these volumes rarely leave the shelves: who is likely to want a book on Robert Norwood, Arthur Stringer, or Peter McArthur today? Charles G.D. Roberts, Isabella Valancy Crawford, and Stephen Leacock are still widely taught, but the canon has shifted away from William Henry Drum- mond, Thomas Haliburton, William Kirby, and even John Richardson. Louis Fréchette, Frangois-Xavier Garneau, and Antoine G6rin-Lajoie are all impor- tant figures in Quebec history, but none is now claimed as a great poet or novelist. Still, the history of the series is of interest to bibliographers, anti- qluarian book dealers, and literary historians. Lately, critical attention has turned to such matters as the economics of literary production, the history of the audience's 'reception' of particular works, the formation of national canons, and the description of the institutions connected with any special- ized discourse. The history of the Makers of Canadian Literature series touches on all these matters. The series can by no means be described as an unequivocal success: it failed financially, and some of its volumes are uncritical and badly written. Still, other volumes are readable and makte good critical sense. And the mere process of preparing the series generated, uncovered, and preserved a great deal of information about Canada's early literary history that, while it remains to be fully exploited, will undoubtedly be useful to both scholars and critics. -

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work. -
The Left Atrium
The Left Atrium Room for a view Atteindre la centaine: William Henry Drummond he centenary of a poet’s death is a fit occasion for a reconsidera- T tion of his poetry and achieve- ments. William Henry Drummond (né William Henry Drumm) was born 13 April 1854, in County Leitrim, Ireland, and died 6 April 1907 in the mining community of Cobalt, Ont. With his parents, George Drumm and Elizabeth Morris Soden, he immi- grated to Canada in 1864 and settled in Montréal. After the death of his father in 1866, Drummond dropped out of school to support his mother. He worked as a telegraphist in the winters in Montréal, and in the summers he worked in the lumber town of Bord-à- Plouffe, Que., where he first witnessed the habitants and voyageurs who were Ernest Sawford-Dye.

When William his schooling at the High School of Henry Drummond first arrived in Cobalt, Ont., in 1904, it was a “tent city” in the middle Montreal and attended McGill College of the forest. Rather than live in a tent, he built a 2-storey log house overlooking Kerr and Bishop’s College in Montréal, Lake, the site of his mining claim. He hand-picked its chimney stones and built graduating with an MD in 1884. He porches where he could sit and hear his miners sing (it is said that he only hired miners spent the next 23 years in his medical who could sing). -
