My research examines the selected poems for their reimagination of the sacred perceived through attachments to particular places. For these writers, poetry is a constitutive practice, part of a way of life that includes desire for wise participation in the more-than-human community. Taking into account the poets’ critical reflections and historical-cultural contexts, along with a range of critical and philosophical sources, the poetry is examined as a discursive spiritual exercise. It is seen as conjoined with other focal practices of place, notably meditative walking and attentive looking and listening under the influence of ecospiritual eros.

  • Imprint: Oregon 1935
    Imprint:Oregon 1°A S Fall-Spring 1978-1979 °M z-i William Everson Waldport: an Interview with William Everson Introduction During World War II the problem of what to do with conscientious objectors who refused to engage in certain types of moreor less war-related work was resolved by the establishment of so-called ConscientiousObjectors Camps, more formallyCivilian Public Service Camps. They were sponsored by the "peace churches,"the Brethren, Mennonite and American Friends Service Committee. By 1945 there were more than 110 such camps and sub-camps throughout the United States. The origins and pur- poses of these camps are well described in the interview which follows. There were three such camps in Oregon: No. 21 (Cascade Locks) opened Dec. 5, 1941: No.56 (Waldport) opened Oct. 24, 1942: No.59 (Elkton) opened Nov.?, 1942. All were engaged in forest maintenance directed by the U. S. Forest Service or by the Oregon and California Revested Lands Administration, Such work consisted of tree planting, blister rust control, fire fighting and trail building, a continuation, essenti- ally, of work done formerly by the receniiy defunct Civilian Conservation Corps. In the usual manner of all such camps, the CO camps produced house organs, usual- ly weekly or monthly mimeographed newspapers. These papers were sponsoredand encouraged by the camp administration itself. winch regarded them as a harmless and even useful outlet for expression. There were, however, some exceptions tothis expec- tation. Among Oregon camps, for example, there wasa proliferation of camp newspapers out of Elkton. This may be partially explainedbythe fact that Elkton was operated as aheadquarters camp and sent contingentsto sub-camps located as far south as Kiam.

  • Poem on the Page: a Collection of Broadsides
    Granary Books and Jeff Maser, Bookseller are pleased to announce Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides Robert Creeley. For Benny and Sabina. 15 1/8 x 15 1/8 inches. Photograph by Ann Charters. Portents 18. Portents, 1970. BROADSIDES PROLIFERATED during the small press and mimeograph era as a logical offshoot of poets assuming control of their means of publication. When technology evolved from typewriter, stencil, and mimeo machine to moveable type and sophisticated printing, broadsides provided a site for innovation with design and materials that might not be appropriate for an entire pamphlet or book; thus, they occupy a very specific place within literary and print culture. Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides includes approximately 500 broadsides from a diverse range of poets, printers, designers, and publishers. It is a unique document of a particular aspect of the small press movement as well as a valuable resource for research into the intersection of poetry and printing. See below for a list of some of the poets, writers, printers, typographers, and publishers included in the collection. Selected Highlights from the Collection Lewis MacAdams.

  • The Magazine of the Broadside WINTER 2012
    the magazine of the broadSIDE WINTER 2012 LOST& FOUND page 2 FEBRUARY 27–AUGUST 25, 2012 broadSIDE THE INSIDE STORY the magazine of the Joyous Homecoming LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA WINTER 2012 Eighteenth-century Stafford County records librarian of virginia discovered in New Jersey are returned to Virginia Sandra G. Treadway arly this year the Library will open an exhibition entitled Lost library board chair Eand Found. The exhibition features items from the past that Clifton A. Woodrum III have disappeared from the historical record as well as documents and artifacts, missing and presumed gone forever, that have editorial board resurfaced after many years. Suddenly, while the curators were Janice M. Hathcock Ann E. Henderson making their final choices about exhibition items from our Gregg D. Kimball collections, the Library was surprised to receive word of a very Mary Beth McIntire special “find” that has now made its way back home to Virginia. During the winter of 1862–1863, more than 100,000 Union editor soldiers with the Army of the Potomac tramped through and Ann E. Henderson camped in Stafford County, Virginia. By early in December 1862, the New York Times reported that military activity had left the copy editor Emily J. Salmon town of Stafford Court House “a scene of utter ruin.” One casualty of the Union occupation was the “house of records” located graphic designer behind the courthouse. Here, the Times recounted, “were deposited all the important Amy C. Winegardner deeds and papers pertaining to this section for a generation past.” Documents “were found lying about the floor to the depth of fifteen inches or more around the door-steps and in photography the door-yard.” Anyone who has ever tried to research Stafford County’s early history can Pierre Courtois attest to the accuracy of the newspaper’s prediction that “it is impossible to estimate the inconvenience and losses which will be incurred by this wholesale destruction.” contributors Barbara C.

  • From Journalism to Gypsy Folk Song: the Road to Orality of an English Ballad
    Oral Tradition, 23/1 (2008): 87-117 From Journalism to Gypsy Folk Song: The Road to Orality of an English Ballad Tom Pettitt Recent years have seen the discovery of something as wonderful and unexpected as an authentic English oral tradition, persisting into the last quarter of the twentieth century: authentically English in being performed in English and in England; authentically oral in being performed by largely illiterate singers, who have received this heritage from the preceding generations of their families and communities without the intervention of writing or print. Authentic also in that although there of late was a sense that times were changing, for the generation concerned the performances remained a living and vital part of the social life and culture of their community. This tradition comprises the “folksongs” of the English Gypsies, as represented for example by Mary Ann Haynes, “Queen” Caroline Hughes, the Smiths of Kent and the Smiths of Gloucester, and the Brazil siblings Lementina (Lemmie), Tom, Hyram, Alice, Harry, Danny, and Weenie. From one scholarly perspective it might be regretted that they were not the object of the same intense scrutiny accorded to the Scottish travelers by the School of Scottish Studies in Edinburgh a decade or two earlier (Gower 1968; Gower and Porter 1970, 1972, 1977; MacColl and Seeger 1986), not least because there is no analogous School of English Studies in London.1 But by the same token their singing has been spared the disturbance and distorting effects that the associated celebrity on the “folk” scene had on the Scottish singers (Porter 1976).
