And with That, Putting His Own Hand in Mine, with Smiling Face, Just to Encourage Me, He Led Me to Things Hidden from the World.” “And with that, putting his own hand in mine, With smiling face, just to encourage me, He led me to things hidden from the world.” Maundy Thursday The Annual Marathon Reading of the Inferno by Dante Alighieri INFERNO 2 A BRIEF SYNOPSIS AND APPROACH TO THE READING OF THE INFERNO Michael Palma Having strayed into a dark wood, Dante tries to recover the straight path, only to find his way blocked by three ferocious beasts; as he cries out, the shade of the Roman poet Virgil appears to guide him out of the wilderness and to show him the fates that await us after death (Canto I). Dante fears the journey through the afterlife offered by Virgil, who explains that Dante’s great love, Beatrice, has interceded for him in heaven (II). In the vestibule of hell, Dante and Virgil see those who remained neutral in the battle of good and evil (III). In Limbo, the first of five outer circles, they encounter virtuous pagans and unbaptized children, whose only punishment is to be denied the sight of God (IV). In the upper hell are those who transgressed through excess of passion and are punished for their sins of incontinence: lust in Circle 2 (V); gluttony in Circle 3 (VI); greed and its opposite, wastefulness, in Circle 4 (VII); wrath and sullenness in Circle 5 (VIII). Crossing into the lower hell (IX)—which, as Virgil explains (XI), holds those who sinned through malice— they find the heretics in Circle 6 (X). In three concentric rings of Circle 7 appear those condemned for violence: first, against others: tyrants, murderers, and plunderers (XII); second, against self: suicides and squanderers of their fortunes (XIII); third, against God: blasphemers (XIV), nature: sexual deviants (XV-XVI), and art: usurers (XVII). Circles 8 and 9 contain the worst sinners, those whose crimes involve the misuse of God-given reason. The ten concentric ditches of Circle 8 hold those who have committed sins of fraud: first, panderers and seducers,second, flatterers (XVIII); third, simoniacs (traffickers in holy things) (XIX); fourth, soothsayers and fortune tellers (XX); fifth, grafters and swindlers (XXI–XXII); sixth, hypocrites (XXIII); seventh, thieves (XXIV–XXV); eighth, evil counselors (XXVI-XXVII); nineth, those who caused schisms and created sects (XXVIII); tenth, falsifiers, including alchemists, identity thieves, liars, and counterfeiters (XXIX-XXX). In the four concentric zones of the icy pit of hell (XXXI) are those condemned for treachery: first, against family members; second, against their country or cause; third, against guests (XXXII–XXXIII); and fourth, against masters and benefactors (XXXIV). From here, the earth’s core, Dante and Virgil return to the surface of the earth.

  • Corn, Alfred (B
    Corn, Alfred (b. 1943) by Christopher Matthew Hennessy Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Alfred Corn. Image courtesy Copper Canyon Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Press. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Alfred Corn, born August 14, 1943, in Georgia, has become widely respected as one of his generation's finest poets. Corn is a multifaceted writer, an intelligent observer and chronicler, and a master of poetic technique. As his work has developed over the course of nine volumes, Corn's style has progressed from a conversational eloquence to a rhythmically complex and rich elegance. He has been praised by critics such as Harold Bloom, who has marked for canonization Corn's second book, A Call in the Midst of the Crowd (1978), whose title poem takes a sprawling view of New York City, and has cited Corn's first book, All Roads at Once (1976), as the best poetic debut of that year. Boyhood in Georgia Corn was born in Bainbridge and raised mostly in Valdosta, Georgia. While he has been read by some as an American Southern writer, he actually writes infrequently about his boyhood in the South. Perhaps the most important poem in the context of his childhood is the long poem "The Outdoor Amphitheater," from his third book The Various Light (1980). This poem, celebrated as luminous by several reviewers, uses lush language and richly textured images and details to recall summers spent as a child and teen watching community plays, visiting circuses and vaudeville performances, and listening to fiery sermons from a handsome preacher at an old-fashioned revival.

  • Speeding Bulletts: Artist Sam Jablon June 13, 2017 by Cait Munro
    Art & Design Speeding BULLETTs: Artist Sam Jablon June 13, 2017 By Cait Munro As the Trump presidency spins further into catastrophe, artists of all stripes are taking on the administration in unusual ways. One such creative is Sam Jablon, a Brooklyn-based artist whose work you’ve likely seen if you frequent the Bowery. Emblazoned on a wall outside Ideal Glass’s 2nd Street space is OUTDEMONSOUT, Jablon’s public homage to the seminal Lower East Side rock band The Fugs, whose politically charged music provided a soundtrack for anti-Vietnam activism in the mid and late ’60s. BULLETT caught up with Jablon to discuss art, poetry, politics, and the joys of binge- watching something mindless after a long day of fighting the demons that be. Name: Samuel Jablon Age: 31 Location: Brooklyn, NY Occupation: Artist Summer plans? I’m splitting my time between Brussels, where I’m doing an artist residency, and here in New York. Favorite artists? Jimmie Durham, Eva Hesse, Kerry James Marshall, and Louise Bourgeois are a few of my favorites. Guilty pleasure? Binge watching horrible TV shows. The content is irrelevant. Can you explain a bit about the idea behind the mural? How did you come up with it? I’ve done public performances and guerrilla poetry readings, which address passersby on the street, so I like engaging with people in situations outside of the physical spaces of the art world. This is the first painting that I created while in view of the public, and it’s also the largest. I wanted it to have meaning, but also feel mysterious and difficult.
