In an era defined by its novel feats of poetic ambition, modernist sentimental poetry seems inexplicably to regress to the familiar forms and feelings of the nineteenth century. Alongside the modernist proliferation of “new” poetic forms, modernist sentimental poetry has thus been seen as decidedly “old”: an atavistic remnant of an earlier time and place, out of sync with high modernism’s progressive aesthetic vision. This is a foundational rift, which continues to divide the field of poetic modernism. Poets like T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and H.D. are routinely credited with formal theories of poetic innovation. In stark contrast, the so-called “sentimental” poets who comprise this study, figures such as Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sara Teasdale, Genevieve Taggard, and Louise Bogan, have been categorized as conventional lyric poets.

    Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas FLORENCE L. SNOW From a Portrait by Helen Hodge Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas By FLORENCE L. SNOW UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS LAWRENCE *945 COPYRIGHT, 1945, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS All rights reserved. No part of this book may be repro• duced in any form, except by reviewers of the public press, without written permission from the publishers. TO THE MEMORY OF MY SISTER EMILY SNOW PREFACE Kansas has often been called the perfect flowering of the New England conscience. Sometimes this is meant to be a com• pliment and at others it is plainly an insult. Either way I doubt if it is a fact. What we did get from New England, particularly in the days of ''bleeding Kansas/' was the habit of talking, writing and philosophizing about conscience. This gave the impression that we had a very active and painful conscience, though it was frequently only an excuse for talking about ourselves, like an operation. Even after our convalescence from the Civil War we never stopped talking and. writing, despite the fact that when we wanted to point out the scar we could no longer find it. In this way Kansas became the most articulate state in the Union. Whether New England should receive credit (or blame) for the habit is beside the point; the conscience and the language are pure Kansas. However, this is only one explanation. Another is that only in Kansas and New England is the climate so warm, cold, windy, calm, unpredictable and preposterous that it is always a fresh topic of conversation.

  • A Small Courtesy by Dawna Freeman
    A Small Courtesy by Dawna Freeman With a snap of her fingers and a bounce in her step, Sara fell in with the beat on her way to the dance floor. This was her kind of music and her body responded to its particular cadence instinctively, reflexively, like a woman sensitized to the rhythm of her lover. She could imagine those men, casually congregated in clusters along the edge of the dance floor, spotting the bright flash of her red dress and nodding in silent admiration. She would twirl merrily past them all. This was her kind of music and she was in control. Dancing had been the last thing on her mind when she had offered to come for the week to help look after her sister‟s children. Her younger sister had insisted she bring her dancing shoes (But you love to dance! And it‟s a live band!). Although she had reluctantly agreed over the phone to go to the big county dance on Saturday night, it wasn‟t until she found she could still wiggle into her favourite old dancing dress that she knew she would. Now here she was, two months and three songs later, dancing with this handsome man at the local arena. She could imagine what an attractive couple they made; he with his dark slick hair, smooth-tanned skin and black eyes, and she in her red slip of a dress and high-heeled sling backs. She looked down at their feet as they danced side by side, synchronizing their steps once again.
