While I had no idea we'd lost it, I sup- pose the blurbist has a point. Gizzi, who during the late 1980s and early 1990s co-edited the excellent and eclectic journal 0-bi14, writes within an avant-garde tradition that sometimes views melopceia with suspicion, or else discounts it entirely. What place song in the ranks of savage, analytic parataxis? I'm happy to report that whether or not the lyric actually needed "recovering," Some Values presents a range of wonderfully musical moments, as in the title poem to the book's "History of Lyric" section, a pre-Raphaelite idyll in a world of electronic static: I lost you to the inky noise just offscreen that calls us and partly we got stuck there waving, walking into the Percy grass. Dark Matters - 367 A sinking pictorial velvet spray imagining vermilion dusk. You lost me to your petticoat shimmering armor saying it is better here on my own amazon. Why can't we or is it won't you leave your solo ingle beside the page.

  • A Tradition of Excellence Continues
    The Newsletter of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Houston WWW.UH.EDU/CWP A Tradition of Excellence Continues: John Antel Dean, CLASS Wyman Herendeen English Dept. Chair j. Kastely CWP Director Kathy Smathers Assistant Director Shatera Dixon Program Coordinator 713.743.3015 cwp@uh.edu This year we welcome two new and one visiting faculty member—all are exciting writers; all are compelling teachers. 2006-2007 Edition Every effort has been made to include faculty, students, and alumni news. Items not included will be published in the next edition. As we begin another academic year, I am struck by how much change the Program has endured in the past year. After the departure of several faculty members the previous year, we have hired Alexander Parsons and Mat John- son as new faculty members in fiction into tenure track positions, and we also hired Liz Waldner as a visitor in poetry for the year. Our colleague, Daniel Stern, passed away this Spring, and he will be missed. Adam Zagajew- ski will take a visiting position in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago this year, and that Committee will most likely become his new academic home. Ed Hirsh submitted his letter of resignation this Spring, and although Ed had been in New York at the Guggenheim for the last five years, he had still officially been a member of the Creative Writing Program on leave. And Antonya Nelson returned from leave this Spring to continue her teaching at UH. So there has been much change.

  • Caught Between Continents the Holocaust and Israel’S Attempt to Claim the European Jewish Diaspora
    Caught between Continents The Holocaust and Israel’s Attempt to Claim the European Jewish Diaspora Zachary Kimmel Columbia University Abstract Israel’s idea of its sovereignty over Jewish cultural production has been essential in defining national mythology and self-consciousness ever since its founding as a state in 1948. But by what right does Israel make such claims? This article examines that question through exploring three legal cases: Franz Kafka’s manuscripts, the historical records of Jewish Vienna, and the literary estate of Lithuanian-born Chaim Grade. All three cases reveal a common jurisprudential and cultural logic, a rescue narrative that is central to the State of Israel itself. To this day, Israel maintains an idea of its sovereignty over Jewish cultural production, and a study of these cases demonstrates how the Holocaust plays as decisive a role in the creation and implementation of Israeli policy and jurisprudential practice as it has in its national identity more broadly. Article After decades of legal wrangling, a Tel Aviv court ruled in June 2015 that the manuscripts of Franz Kafka must be handed over to the National Library of Israel.1 The final batch of Kafka’s papers arrived in Jerusalem on August 7, 2019.2 Despite the fact that Kafka died in Prague in 1924, Israel’s lawyers argued that his manuscripts ought to be the legal property of the Jewish nation-state. Yet by what right does Israel make such claims—even over the claims of other nations where the artists in question were citizens, or ignoring the ethno- religious identifications of the artists themselves? This article examines that question, exploring the fate of Kafka’s manuscripts as well as legal battles over two other important archives with Jewish lineage: the historical records of Jewish Vienna and the literary estate of Lithuanian-born Chaim Grade.

While we can’t meet in person due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, I promise you the next few days will be filled with engaging programs that will leave you with new information and an energized outlook to take back to your jobs wherever they are being performed at the moment. Of course, none of this would be possible without an extraordinary team of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to put this all together. I want to extend special thanks to Rachel Kamin, Marcie Eskin, Lisa Silverman and Jackie Ben-Efraim, who managed to turn a whole lot of lemons into delicious lemonade. They were supported by a fantastic team of AJL members who are listed in this conference program book. There is so much to do, but you do not want to miss our incredible Keynote featuring Jonathan and Adam Kirsch in conversation with Erica Dreifus, our welcoming Virtual Round Table, all of our award-winning authors and illustrators, and the installation of our new AJL Board. That is a lot to choose from, so I encourage you to let the Socio App assist in setting (and remembering) your schedule and help you network with all your AJL friends. This is truly going to be an international conference with presenters and participants from all over North America and the world.
