ROCHESTER REVIEW 3 Aca demy of Arts and Letters and the National Institute of Arts and Letters. (A couple of weeks earlier he had received the 1968 Miles Memorial Award of Wayne State University.) For some literary observers, "Tony's Pulitzer" may have been foreshadowed by the bevy of laudatory reviews garnered by Th e Hard Hours in Th e New York Times Book Review, Th e Saturday Review, Th e Atlantic, The New Yorker, and other publications. (Some samples: "simple ... yet allusive and memorable" .. "s ome of the most powerful and unfor­ gettable poems at present being written in America" ... and "good evide nce that Anthony Hecht is one of the best poets now writing. In any language." ) At Rochester, Hecht has taught courses on the lyric and on modern poetry and has conducted a writing workshop. On campus for only a yea r, he has quickly become a favorite with River Campus stude nts-who bestowed on him one of their highest honors by selectin g him to give this year's Ivy Oration at the traditional Moving-Up Da y exercises. Before joinin g the UR faculty, Hecht taught at Kenyon College, the State University of Iowa, Smith College, New York Uni versity, and Bard Coll ege, where he received his bachelor 's degree. (He also hold s an M.A. from Columbia.) As of Sept emb er , he will be Rochester's Deane Professor of Rh etoric and Poetr y. EC HT'S LATEST LAUR EL S follow a long and luminous string H of national awards and prizes: a Prix de Rome, two Gu ggenh eim fellowships, Hudson Review and Ford Founda­ tion fellowship s, and a Brandeis University Creative Arts Awa rd. To support his work, the University of Rochester has received a $10,000 Rockefeller grant, which will be used next yea r when Hecht, on leave from UR, will work on a translation of Aesc hylus' Seven A gain st Th ebes, continue to write poetry, and serve as poet-in-residence at the American Academy in Rome. Interestingly, in view of the many honors accorded his poetr y, the body of his work is not larg e (The Hard Hour s, itself a fairly slim volume, includes a number of poems from his two ea rlier works A Summoning of Stones and Th e Seven Deadly Sins). And, ironically, his serious work for a time seemed to command less attention than his status as the creator (with poet John Holl ander) of a new form of light verse known as the doubl e dactyl. Today, however , Hecht's stature as a major voice in con­ temporary Am eric an letters seems assured. Allen Tate, the distinguished poet and critic, perhaps said it best when he wrote of Hecht and Th e Hard Hours: "We have gotten into the bad habit of ranking our poets . I refuse to do this. I can only say that whoever else may be at the top , Hecht is there too; for there is nobody better. " • The poems on Pages 6-8 are from Th e Hard Hours; "Historical Re­ flections," from Jiggery-Pok ery: A Compendium of D ouble Dactyls. Both book s are publi shed by Atheneum , which has gra nted permi ssion to reprint these exce rpts. ROCHESTER REVIEW 5 "IT OUT-HERODS HEROD. PRAY YO U, AVOID IT." onigh t my children hunch Toward their Western, and are glad As, with a Sunday punch, . The Good casts out the Bad. IfAnd in their fairy tales The warty giant and wi tch Get sealed in doorless jails And the match-girl strikes it rich. I've made myself a drink. The giant and witch are set To bust out of the clink When my children have gone to bed. All frequencies are loud With signals of despair; In flash and morse they crowd The rondure of the air. For the wicked have grown strong, Their numbers mock at death, Their cow brings forth its young, Their bull engendereth. Their very fund of strength. Satan, bestrides the globe; He stalks its breadth and length And finds out even Job. Yet by quite other laws My children make their case; Half God, half Santa Claus, But with my voice and face. A hero comes to save The poorman, beggarman, thief, And make the world behave And put an end to grief. And that their sleep be sound I say this childermas Who could not, at one time. Have saved them from the gas. 6 UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER ADAM Hath th e ra in a fa th er ? or who hath be gotten the drops of de w? d a m , my child, my son, Ada m, th er e w ill be Th ese ve ry words you hear Man y hard hours, Compose the fish and starlight As an old po em sa ys, ~Of your untroubled dr eam .

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.

  • York University Graduate Program in English Post-1900 US Literature Comprehensive Reading List Prose
    York University Graduate Program in English Post-1900 US Literature Comprehensive Reading List [Updated MarCh 2007] Candidates should submit a reading list composed of the following texts. Where indicated, students may substitute another appropriate text by the same author. Additionally, up to 10% of each section of this list may be replaced with alternatives decided upon by the candidate in consultation with the examination supervisor. Note well: In addition to mastering the list provided below, candidates in twentieth-century American literature are expected to develop a familiarity with a range of major American literary texts from before the 20th century. Ideally, candidates planning to specialize as Americanists will sit the pre-1900 American Literature exam and the twentieth-century American Literature exam. Candidates who opt not to take the earlier American exam should refer to that exam’s reading list in consultation with their supervisor to determine which American authors/texts from before 1900 are unavoidable prerequisites for this field exam. Likely possibilities include: Mark Twain, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, etc. Candidates will not be examined on these materials as part of this field, but exam questions may take for granted knowledge of such fundamental texts. If this will be a second field exam, students are required to submit a copy of their first field examination reading list along with the final copy of the 20th century American list. Prose Candidates should read texts by approximately 10-15 authors from each time period below, selected in consultation with their supervisors. A total of approximately 45-55 prose texts by as many authors is appropriate.

  • La Santa Muerte in Mexico History, Devotion, and Society Edited by Wil G
    90th Anniversary Our culture. Our history. Our stories. contents Dear Literary Colleagues, 2019 marks the ninetieth anniversary of UNM Press. We have from the very beginning been the “Publisher of New Mexico.” Over our distinguished history we have published many seminal works of scholarship as well as discovered important writers including Rudolfo Anaya, N. Scott Momaday, Dagoberto Gilb, and many others. This season brings a delightful new book by noted Western archivist and environmental writer Jack Loeffler; cutting-edge scholarship in comics studies; a timely memoir on orga- nizing migrant workers with Cesar Chavez; two volumes of criticism by Marjorie Perloff; new poetry in the Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series; a coloring book on the raptors of North America; and many others. Also, this season we are delighted to reissue four classics by the irrepressible cowboy writer Max Evans, whom the New York Times calls “a sage voice of the west,” in handsome new trade paperback editions. Finally, it is a rare privilege to be able to honor a writer who has graced our list for half a cen- tury. N. Scott Momaday is a major voice in Native American literature, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and a part of the first wave of what is now recognized as the Native American Renais- sance. This season we’re proud to publish his magisterial work, The Way to Rainy Mountain, in a new fiftieth anniversary edition. Margaret Atwood once said, “Publishing a book is like stuffing a note into a bottle and hurl- ing it into the sea.” New Mexico may be landlocked, but we’re still here, stuffing notes and hurling bottles for ninety years and counting.
