Acknowledgments My deepest thanks go to Hank Lazer and Juliana Spahr—for the two prob- ing nonanonymous readers’ reports that helped me focus, cut, and mull this book as I was rewriting, remixing, and reconceptualizing it—and to Charles Bernstein for support. Dan Waterman, the Alabama editor, was terri¤c, both professional and adept. Joe Abbott was a stellar copy editor; Conna Clark, Philadelphia Museum, guided the choice of cover. My deepest institutional thanks go simultaneously to Temple University, for sabbaticals in both 2001–2 and 2004–5, and to the Pew Fellowship for Artists, for my 2002 grant (taken in 2004–5), which allowed me to complete this work, as well as to write poetry. Most of these essays have been signi¤cantly revised for this volume.

Introduction Blue means freshened, old-fashioned blueing in wash water; blue sky round- ing from the horizon; blue evokes an ideal, like the famous Azure of sym- bolist poetics; blue is intense, the color of batik. Sometimes blue means moody, depressed, forsaken.

Her first volume of poetry was published in 1951, and she remains a leading poetic voice today. Her career has been one of remarkable change: her early formalist work gave way to the androgynous, “humanist” writings of the early 1970’s, the consciously lesbian works of the late 1970’s, and finally to a poetics concerned with the marginalization of a myriad of social groups.

But in Baez Bendorf’ s version, this thematic connection is staged, perhaps deceptively, as the connection of all things. He writes of a kind of congregation of “everything under the moon ” in a form of relation that is pleasurable, mysterious, and productive. The book’ s finish occurs in the great ecstasy of this congregation: “the earth is my home and there is / much to cry about. It always helps / to look up, look all the way up // look up, look up, look up, we look / up, up, up. ” The repeated words, along with the mapping of earth/heavens along issues of sanctuary, make this conclusion the most explicit revelation of the book’ s aesthetics of the spiritual. Baez Bendorf’ s book is aesthetically and thematically working over the issue of belonging, a theme Sullivan mapped constantly in journal entries throughout his life. Sullivan felt, by turns, an unprecedented sense of belonging and a confounding sense of exclusion amongst his scene of San Francisco queers.

  • Police Violence Against Afro-Descendants in the United States
    Cover Art Concept This IACHR report concludes that the United States has systematically failed to adopt preventive measures and to train its police forces to perform their duties in an appropriate fashion. This has led to the frequent use of force based on racial bias and prejudice and tends to result in unjustified killings of African Americans. This systematic failure is represented on the cover of the report by a tombstone in the bullseye of a shooting range target, which evokes the path of police violence from training through to these tragic outcomes. The target is surrounded by hands: hands in the air trying to stop the bullet, hands asking for help because of the danger that police officers represent in certain situations, and hands expressing suffering and pain over the unjustified loss of human lives.

All rights reserved. Rev 11-2019 “Look at yourself honestly and unflinchingly to the very bottom of your mind.” Calligraphy by Shihan Tsutomo Ohshima, Martial Arts Master 2 Author’s Note This work-in-progress is a jargon-free introduction to contemporary psychodynamic thought. It is intended for trainees and for clinicians trained in other therapy approaches. I wrote it because existing books did not meet my students’ needs. Many classic introductions to psychoanalytic therapy are dated. They describe the psychoanalytic thinking of decades ago, not today. Others contain too much jargon to be accessible or assume prior knowledge that few contemporary readers possess. Still others have a partisan agenda of promoting one psychoanalytic school of thought over others, but trainees are ill-served by treating them as pawns in internecine theoretical disputes. Finally, some otherwise excellent books assume an interested and sympathetic reader— an assumption that is often unwarranted. Most students today are exposed to considerable disinformation about psychoanalytic thought and approach it with inaccurate and pejorative preconceptions. The title is a double entendre. “That was then, this is now” alludes to a central aim of psychoanalytic therapy, which is to help free people from the bonds of past experience in order to live more fully in the present.

  • July/August 2021
    Volume 37 Issue 4 July/August 2021 Ten Thousand Feet for Freedom Leslie Blankenship, Local Historian ugust 26 is “Woman’s Equality Day.” On that date in 1920 the 19th Amendment was certified, and many women in the United States finally achieved the constitutional right to vote as a fundamental componentA of their citizenship. On June 16, 1919, Ohio was the fifth state to ratify the amendment. Voting rights were granted to American Indians and Asian Americans when they became citizens through acts of Congress in 1924 (Snyder Act) and 1952 (McCarren-Walter Act), respectively. African Americans in the South had to wait until 1965 when the federal Voting Rights Act abolished all manner of Jim Crow voting restrictions. Another date, August 27, 1912, cherished by Ohio woman suffrage advocates, is little remembered today. On that Tuesday morning, thousands of women gathered in Columbus to march in the state’s first suffrage parade. It was a compelling display of street theater with equal parts beauty, solidarity, and resolve that dazzled its audience, changed some minds, and earned grudging respect for the marchers’ cause. In 1911, Ohio was at a watershed moment.
