  • Artwork, Poetry, and Prose Presented by the Inmates of the South Bay House of Correction & Detainees of the Nashua Street Jail
    Not Beyond Hope Artwork, Poetry, and Prose Presented by the Inmates of the South Bay House of Correction & Detainees Of The Nashua Street Jail Hope: A belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance — i.e., believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. Sheriff’s Message Welcome to “Not Beyond Hope,” a quarterly compilation of art, poetry, and essays from the inmates at the Suffolk County House of Correction and detainees from the Nashua Street Jail. Not Beyond Hope is designed to provide a positive outlet for creativity and expres- sion by inmates and detainees housed in our facilities, and each edition will include contributors’ reflections on a variety of topics. We hope that you enjoy and appreci- ate the feelings shared in these pages. This edition of Not Beyond Hope features artwork created by inmates who took part in an ongoing art program, which was implemented just over years ago at the Sheriff Andrea J. Cabral House of Correction, and literary contributions from members of “Voices” – a poetry group comprised of male detainees which was launched in early 2008 at the Nashua Street Jail. The art program was designed to not only provide inmates with an introduction to art history and technical instruction, but also with the means through which to practice discipline, focus, and self control – valuable skills that will prove useful as they continue their rehabilitation and, ultimately, reentry into society. The poetry group was created with the intent to provide detainees with the tools to begin learning how to channel negative energies into positive, non-aggressive self-expression.

  • 25 Years and 5 Years His Junior
    JOE TURNER’S COME AND GONE Synopsis Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, set in 1917, is the story of Harold Loomis who returns to a Pittsburgh in search of his wife. He is haunted by the memory of bounty hunter Joe Turner, the man who had illegally enslaved him. Loomis is unable to fully embrace or release the past. His search brings him to Seth and Bertha’s boarding house with his young daughter, Zonia, where “conjure man” Bynum shows him that he really is searching for himself. Characters BERTHA HOLLY: Seth's wife of 25 years and 5 years his junior. She knows her place in the hierarchy of the boardinghouse, yet still has some say in the decision making and will often voice her opinion. A very loving mother to the boardinghouse family. In the end, she tells Mattie that the only two things you need in your life are love and laughter; the things that she has had faith in and have helped her get by. HERALD LOOMIS: A resident of the boardinghouse. Having been enslaved by Joe Turner for seven years, Loomis has completely lost his way in life. An odd man that dons an overcoat and hat in mid- August, Loomis is 32 years old and a displaced slave searching for his wife. In the end he finds his song, an independent, self-sufficient song that he can sing proudly. MARTHA LOOMIS PENTECOST: Herald Loomis’s wife. She is about 28, very religious and a member of the Evangelical church. She left the South and her daughter behind.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Performing Perversion: Decadence in Twentieth-Century Chinese Literature A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Hongjian Wang September 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Perry Link, Chairperson Dr. Paul Pickowicz Dr. Susan Zieger Copyright by Hongjian Wang 2012 The Dissertation of Hongjian Wang is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements This dissertation is the result of an academic adventure that is deeply indebted to the guidance of all my three committee members. Dr. Susan Zieger ushered me into the world of Western Decadence in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Paul Pickowicz instilled into me a strong interest in and the methodology of cultural history studies. Dr. Perry Link guided me through the palace of twentieth-century Chinese literature and encouraged me to study Decadence in modern Chinese literature in comparison with Western Decadence combining the methodology of literary studies and cultural history studies. All of them have been extremely generous in offering me their valuable advices from their expertise, which made this adventure eye-opening and spiritually satisfying. My special gratitude goes to Dr. Link. His broad knowledge and profound understanding of Chinese literature and society, his faith in and love of seeking the truth, and his concern about the fate of ordinary people are inexhaustible sources of inspiration to me. He confirmed again and again my conviction that literary studies are not just about texts but also, more importantly, about understanding people’s life and thoughts and the world they live in.
