In addition, as any scholar knows, this research has often required that I ask more than professional exper­ tise from those I met on my travels; I have been the beneficiary of gifts, insights, meals, housing, transportation, and practical help with prob­ lems having to do with hunting down obscure information, finding my way around in new places, and struggling with the ever-changing materi­ als of word processing. At the very least, my investigations into the lives and works of the modernist women I discuss have shown me that such pragmatic connections are the backbone of any sizeable accomplishment, as well as one of its chief pleasures. Accordingly, I would like to begin with personal thanks to a number of persons whose assistance and goodwill have helped my research along: my husband, Joe; my parents, Lorraine and David Menich; my sister, Gayle Roehm; past and present personnel at Poetry magazine, especially Helen Klaviter; and the director of my dissertation, professor Cyrena N. Pondrom of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Another group of people I would like to thank includes those whom I have met or corresponded with in the course of my research, whose knowledge and consideration have greatly abetted my work: Holly Baggett, Chris Baird, Eileen Cahill, Alice Clark, Elizabeth Cleary, LoriN. Curtis, Dale Davis, Nancy Watson Dean, Michelle Dorgan, Ken Dunmire, Elizabeth Dunn, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Evelyn Feldman, Susan Stanford Friedman, Connie Hale, Diana Haskell, x • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Cathy Henderson, Andrea lnselmann, Chris Kellett, Margaret Kulis, Sally Leach, Paula Y.

    Self-Portraiture in Borrow and the Powys

    — 1 — Published in la lettre powysienne numéro 5, printemps 2003, see : http://www.powys-lannion.net/Powys/LettrePowysienne/number5.htm Stonehenge Leaving the bridge I ascended a gentle declivity, and presently reached what appeared to be a tract of moory undulating ground. It was now tolerably light, but there was a mist or haze abroad which prevented my seeing objects with much precision. I felt chill in the damp air of the early morn, and walked rapidly forward. In about half an hour I arrived where the road divided into two at an angle or tongue of dark green sward. “To the right or the left?” said I, and forthwith took, without knowing why, the left-hand road, along which I proceeded about a hundred yards, when, in the midst of the tongue or sward formed by the two roads, collaterately with myself, I perceived what I at first conceived to be a small grove of blighted trunks of oaks, barked and grey. I stood still for a moment, and then, turning off the road, advanced slowly towards it over the sward; as I drew nearer, I perceived that the objects which had attracted my curiosity, and which formed a kind of circle, were not trees, but immense upright stones. A thrill pervaded my system; just before me were two, the mightiest of the whole, tall as the stems of proud oaks, supporting on their tops a huge transverse stone, and forming a wonderful doorway. I knew now where I was, and laying down my stick and bundle, and taking off my hat, I advanced slowly, and cast myself — it was folly, perhaps, but I could not help what I did — cast myself, with my face on the dewy earth, in the middle of the portal of giants, beneath the transverse stone.

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.

  • Sam Milne Agenda Talk

    Sam Milne Agenda Talk

    1 W S MILNE ‘Agenda Magazine, a Short History’ A talk given on 5 October 2019 at the Art Workers Guild, Queen Square, London to celebrate Agenda’s 60 th birthday “Cookson, OK. Stop Agenda with no.4 or 5!” This telegraphic instruction of Pound’s, thankfully, of course, William Cookson never heeded. We’re now on issue No.220 or thereabouts, I think – a Special Issue on Anglo- French Poetry in the pipeline, a reminder perhaps that Agenda has always had a global orientation, not merely a national one. Pound underestimated William’s obstinacy. Lord Gowrie (a long-time supporter of Agenda , and present here to speak after me) thought Mrs Thatcher the most stubborn individual he had ever met (whilst acting as Arts Minister in her Administration) that is, he confessed, until he met William Cookson. Ezra Pound’s role in founding Agenda has been well documented by William himself. In his introduction to Agenda’ s 21 st Anniversary Ezra Pound Special Issue he says: ‘Without the encouragement and generosity of Ezra Pound, Agenda would not have existed.’ He provides more details in his editorial introduction to Agenda: An Anthology: The First Four Decades 1959-1993 , where he states quite categorically: ‘The founder of Agenda was Ezra Pound,’ and proceeds to give us a potted history of the magazine’s genesis. Having started to read Pound at the age of fifteen, William reviewed Rock-Drill enthusiastically in the Westminster School magazine, The Trifler (of which he was a co- editor – running a magazine was in the family tradition, William’s father having founded English , the magazine of the English Association, in 1936).

    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).
