FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

    NEWSLETTERS KANSAS LEGISLATIVE INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER | MARCH 12, 2021 March 12, 2021 WEEK IN REVIEW On Wednesday, the Legislature returned, and committees started working bills from the other chamber. For the first time since Feb. 13, the Kansas Senate is back to 40 members. The conference committee on the Kansas Emergency Management Act met several times with little progress. On Thursday, the Senate debated internet sales tax and property tax reform. Bubbling under the surface of the 2021 Legislature has been speculation and informal discussions about the 2022 governor’s race. Differences over the handling of the pandemic between Gov. Kelly and Republican legislative leaders surfaced during legislative discussions on COVID-related legislation. Last week, former Gov. Jeff Colyer announced his treasurer for his potential 2022 bid for governor. This week, Attorney General Derek Schmidt formally announced he was running for governor next year. Other Republicans are considering making a run as well. The 2022 reapportionment process for the House, Senate, Congressional, and State Board of Education districts started on Wednesday. The Legislative Coordinating Council approved a Redistricting Advisory Group. The six- member Group will create guidelines for reapportionment. There are three members from each chamber, with Senate President Sen. Ty Masterson appointing two members, one by Minority Leader Sen. Dinah Sykes, two appointed by the Speaker of the House Ron Ryckman Jr., and one by the House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer. The Advisory Group is authorized to meet four days during the interim. The group will, among other matters, utilize the federal census figures for Kansas in developing its recommendations.

  • Subcommittees
    Committee Procedures 4-31 Subcommittees A subcommittee is designed to do in-depth work for the parent committee. However, its functions are purely advisory, and a subcommittee reports only to the committee from which it was appointed, not to the full body. In most legislative chambers, a subcommittee is created by the committee chair but, as table 96-4.12 illustrates, this is not the only method used to establish them. Table 96-4.13 shows that the “life expectancy” of subcommittees varies considerably. Some subcommittees—called standing committees—are established that remain in place for an entire biennium. Thirty-eight chambers reported that they use standing subcommittees. Usually, however, subcommittees are far more temporary in nature, being created to deal with a single issue or bill. Fifty-three chambers commonly use this type. Respondents from 18 legislative bodies indicated that they have created issue subcommittees that remained in existence for an entire session. A subcommittee may consist only of members from its parent committee. The average subcommittee size is three to seven members (see table 96-4.14). The committee chair typically has responsibility for appointing subcommittee members; this is true in 60 percent of the legislative chambers (see table 96-4.15). Sometimes, however, the presiding officer or another leader makes the assignments. In the California Senate and Assembly and the Pennsylvania House, a committee on committee or a rules committee appoints subcommittee members. In Connecticut, the selections are made

    June 21, 2021 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Madam Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The scope of these state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. Indeed, we have attempted again and again to work with our Republican colleagues to set policies that safely and securely expanded voting access—but they simply refuse to act in good faith.
