I could never write this song, I said. For what of the dying, the starving, depressed? What of the lonely? I ride a road, unpaved and lawless; leaveless. My lover asked if she did not make me happy. Autumn smolders below us, burnt dry, when days ago the flames were brilliant and blinding. Even that transition was more settled than this. In the coming winter, and the far coming summer, the river will decide to flow or stay, but for now it is bogged and mildewed, and we focus not on the speed of the water, but the rate of retardation. Pilot, will you please turn the plane? I want to see the sun fall down as we land— the moon looks so sardonic in this light, through this frozen, dirty, double window. 2 Winter 2007 Leviathan The business man, silent and stoic, reading Entrepreneur as we begin our approach, has put away his self help book, ignored his conference planner, and finished his Diet Coke, with just a bit of ice. He is piquant with lucrative love affairs, here in the great grey north. These waves in the wind are the great unevenness of things, and as it turns out, tonight the moon is full. - Jeffrey Glenn Hansen Leviathan Winter 2007 3 Encounter The earth was full-bellied with early spring, rain rising up to swallow the grass whole, and rushing down streams with a vengeance. Foot-weary, I sat for a moment to breathe in the silence and sweet-scented cold. The old log gave beneath my weight, just a little. Then, I beheld him, perched in the crook of a branch, silver hair flying like thistle above pointed ears. His wings were worn, ragged, and bent. Fierce, tiny tears dripped slowly upon me, and sobs shook his shoulders, all crooked and bony-- I queried what caused the lament. His eyes fairly pierced me. He spoke very softly, “You see,” said the man, “I’m a poet.” One look at his wren-quill gave birth my reply: “I can tell by the ink on your hands.” “The piece that I pen, here, on this fallen leaf, is a tale of incredible loss. That old log where you sit, there, once housed my whole family, and now, my dear fellow, I fear they’re quite squashed.” - Anne Marie Kelley Winter 2007 Leviathan Hart of the Matter by John Thorp Ernest’s mother drives her child out the washboarded gravel road on Sundays and leaves him where Brigham leans against a sovereign telephone pole sometimes with a cigarette and other times not. They walk abreast, neither the sighted lead- ing the visionless nor the knowledgeable leading the ignorant to places named in local history but marked on no map, except the one handdrawn and nearly indecipherable where they sit with Charlie, armed and not talking. Brigham swings his left arm through the quiet and points west. The gnarled finger guides from the cuff of the brown flannel, his elbow at the child’s nose. Smells of mildew, guts, wet dog but mildew the strongest. The bitch rises taut and whines. “Quiet, Charlie.” Ernest butts the weapon to his shoul- der and planes the barrel to the crooked arm, his cheek on the stock and his eye to the sight. He waits, aimed at nothing but the sun. Three mourning doves crest the foliage and cross the field, their paths too distant for a killing spread. He lowers his arm and the boy lowers the gun as well, their eyes following the birds over the beeches and maples rising opposite. Brigham feels for the empty stump, moves to it. He faces where the birds have left, though never seen still as perma- nent and familiar in his mind as every dove that has flown across a cornfield in Ohio. Ernest turns away, forgetting them. Youth scribbled quickly with pencil on pages of the book that will later settle undulant and dry on one side of the scale against which he will weigh the eventuality of adulthood. Impatient for the stasis that comes at the end of the rapid progressive, regressive and non-directional fluxes that are adolescence. The challenge being not how to achieve but how to maintain at moments when the Leviathan Winter 2007 balance (verily found or constructed by artifice) is compromised by the resting of another volume on the scale at the close of ten years or a single day. Never concerned with the past, brief for him as it is, and therefore not yet knowing the value of the book but “Brigham does knowing at least its invaluablity, and not smile. ‘Decide that he would frequent it as all adults later if you’ll pull come to whether childhood to them the trigger,’ he had been of import or insignifi- says. Death to him cance, until the pages gloss at the edges dark and greased. The reposi- is not an affair tory preserving that he will mature feared or evaded.” from it, as those who ignore their childhoods cannot be anything but children. Memories distinct in moment and place but laid on top of one another not without consequence, breeding in the dark- ness of the sealed book he is not yet able to read. Absorbing the day and the woodsman and the birds with reflex better itself in distant maturity than years spent rereading the fragmented and unfinished lines with his mind still undeveloped until the pencil marks blur and the spine rots, shedding pages like leaves. Brigham drags yellow fingernails against the bottom of a chin that sprouts gristle thick and brown, seeming never shorter or longer: a sound like raking oak leaves from a sidewalk. “Raise your gun sooner,” he says. “Before we see them?” Crows’ feet tighten around the damaged eyes and he coughs. His voice harsh from not finished years of tobacco smoke. “Always. Learn to draw a bead before you see. Then before you hear. Anything that moves.” “What if it’s another hunter? Or a farmer?” he asks. “Some man.” Brigham does not smile. “Decide later if you’ll pull the trigger,” he says. Death to him is not an affair feared or evaded. Like the child will come to know, he knows of its triumphant and arrogant finality, embracing it in the field and in himself. Winter 2007 Leviathan Learned many ways but above all from battle: a squad sheared of life in a distant but always manifest Pacific jungle by auto- matic fire from impalpable mounts. Flashes fast, deft from all sides. From the earth itself. He the only to walk out, ungrazed but wracked worse than those laid down and this way because of them. He returned to Lois County and seceded from it not quietly. Brandished volatile immortality, curtaining the self-ha- tred brought on by freak survival. This, compounded three years by reconstituting stability with drink, love with indiscriminate tryst and strength by the peerless grit with which fought hand and foot over a poorly parked car, a misheard quip, a married woman. Then with blindness, his secession finished in silence.

  • Teaching Latin Love Poetry with Pop Music1
    Teaching Classical Languages Volume 10, Issue 2 Kopestonsky 71 Never Out of Style: Teaching Latin Love Poetry with Pop Music1 Theodora B. Kopestonsky University of Tennessee, Knoxville ABSTRACT Students often struggle to interpret Latin poetry. To combat the confusion, teachers can turn to a modern parallel (pop music) to assist their students in understanding ancient verse. Pop music is very familiar to most students, and they already trans- late its meaning unconsciously. Building upon what students already know, teach- ers can reframe their approach to poetry in a way that is more effective. This essay shows how to present the concept of meter (dactylic hexameter and elegy) and scansion using contemporary pop music, considers the notion of the constructed persona utilizing a modern musician, Taylor Swift, and then addresses the pattern of the love affair in Latin poetry and Taylor Swift’s music. To illustrate this ap- proach to connecting ancient poetry with modern music, the lyrics and music video from one song, Taylor Swift’s Blank Space (2014), are analyzed and compared to poems by Catullus. Finally, this essay offers instructions on how to create an as- signment employing pop music as a tool to teach poetry — a comparative analysis between a modern song and Latin poetry in the original or in translation. KEY WORDS Latin poetry, pedagogy, popular music, music videos, song lyrics, Taylor Swift INTRODUCTION When I assign Roman poetry to my classes at a large research university, I re- ceive a decidedly unenthusiastic response. For many students, their experience with poetry of any sort, let alone ancient Latin verse, has been fraught with frustration, apprehension, and confusion.

  • Legenden David Bowie Släpper Ny Singel Och Samling
    2014-09-09 15:49 CEST LEGENDEN DAVID BOWIE SLÄPPER NY SINGEL OCH SAMLING Nya Deluxe samlingen ”Nothing Has Changed” som släpps den 17 november via Parlophone innehåller den nya singeln ”Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)”. ALBUM: 3CD, 2CD, DUBBEL VINYL OCH DIGITAL DOWNLOAD SINGEL: LIMITERAD UPPLAGA OM 10" vinyl och digital download Femtio år efter sin första inspelning fortsätter David Bowie att vara i spetsen för samtida kultur som musiker, konstnär och ikon. ”Nothing Has Changed” samlar för första gången all Bowie’s musik från åren 1964-2014. Albumet (uppkallat efter en text från öppningsspåret "Sunday" från albumet "Heathen”) samlar låtarna från varje period av Bowies karriär – allt från hans tidigaste inkarnationer som "Liza Jane" och "Can’t Help Thinking About Me” enda fram till James Murphys "Hello Steve Reich Mix" av "Love Is Lost" från förra året. Albumet innehåller Bowies första nya musik sedan han släppte det kritikerrosade albumet ”The Next Day" förra året. Den nya singeln "SUE (Or In A Season Of Crime) spelades in särskilt för ”Nothing Has Changed” tillsammans med långtida samarbetspartnern Tony Visconti och kommer att släppas i en begränsad upplaga (10" singel och digital nedladdning) samma dag som albumet. Vid sidan av det helt nya spåret innehåller albumet den tidigare outgivna låten "Let Me Sleep Beside You" som togs fram från inspelningarna till mytomspunna albumet "TOY" som aldrig släpptes, låten "Your Turn To Drive" som gör debut på CD samt den fantastiska 2001 nyinspelningen av låten "Shadow Man" från år 1971.

One of the many misconception about country music is that its audience is strictly southern and rural; my northern urban working class family listened exclusively to country music. As a teenager I was was more interested in Motown than Nashville, but by the time I reached my early thirties I had became a serious country music fan.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
