Thanks to the Herculean efforts of the staff, particularly editor Jodi Corbett, this year’s publication speaks for itself. I hope that I am not embarrassing the staff by saying that this issue is truly a labor of love. Jodi’s visionary thinking, creativity, commitment to RACC, and ability to rally commuting students around a worthy endeavor ensured that this year’s publication would John Lawlor Website - Penn Street Bridge 1862 truly represent a college proud of its position within the local community. Thus, this issue of Legacy doesn’t need my endorsement. Because the staff felt it important for me to have a presence in this publication, I have chosen to address a few concerns that created both joy and frustration as the staff worked on this year’s publication. All of these concerns resulted in new understandings about writing for the staff and the published writers. The staff received 32 entries emanating from diverse writing assignments representing multiple disciplines. All of the writers who submitted papers did so with the full understanding that the number of writings that could be selected was restricted - not only by the staff’s commitment to excellence but by space limitations. The number of submissions to this fledging peer-juried competition speaks not only of the value that RACC students place on writing but also of the value that students place on writing for an audience beyond a faculty member. RACC students seem eager to showcase their use of written language. As a result of the overwhelming response to this year’s call for papers, the staff devoted many hours to assessing the writings and debating their merits. One of the staff’s findings is that there seems to be little consistency across the disciplines in students’ use and documentation of research. The staff, therefore, struggled with issues such as how to define excellence in writing at the community college level, what constitutes plagiarism, and how much revising and editing would be prudent to ask writers to do in order for the published entries not only to provide interesting reading but also to serve as models of effective researched writing. With the wealth of entries, the perils of publishing a single-issue journal became enormous. One outcome of the staff’s discussions on these concerns - as well as of their commitment to excellence in writing - was the initiation of writers’ workshops - both group and individual - focusing on writing as a process requiring attention to the specific audience the writer is addressing. The writers learned that writing for publication requires attention to a multitude of writing conventions that writing for a class assignment - i.e. writing for the teacher - may not necessitate. At the same time, the staff became more conscious of the demands readers place on the written text. Because of the determination of this year’s writers and Legacy editorial board, it is my hope that Legacy continues to influence the ways in which RACC students and faculty view academic writing, strengthening our resolve to make writing a crucial part of all students’ experience. Joanne Gabel iv A Letter from the Editor Last year I was on the staff of Legacy’s premier issue along with Mary Beth Miozza. Since the other founding members graduated, Mary Beth, Public Relations, and I had an obligation to help the staff continue Legacy’s publication effort. When Joanne Gabel, Legacy Advisor, asked me to be the second Editor-at-Large for this volume, I knew my strengths differed from Anna Ackner, founding Editor-at- Large. Finding my own way, I choose to lead John Lawlor Website - Penn Street Bridge 1862 through overarching principles that focused a vision on the human spirit of this institution—Reading Area Community College. The second volume of Legacy is a thoughtful collection that integrates various student perspectives through researched essays and creative expression. Marissa Sharon, Legacy artist and contributor, summarized the Editorial Board’s responsibility: A publication of this nature is so important for any school, especially a community college, to have to present to the students, faculty, and community a sense of what is really happening in classrooms and around campus. Unlike a newspaper publication, Legacy is able to really present serious thought process and convey […] successful education throughout campus. Each printed page of Legacy Volume II absorbs individual work into the volume’s cohesive story. Submissions editor and contributor, Adrienne Reed, discusses the different ways to tell a story in her essay, "Ethnographic Videography: the Changing Voice of the Story Teller." She writes, "…storytelling contributes to an individual’s cultural experience, connects them to their ethnic history, and increases their learning potential." Through their different backgrounds, RACC students enrich the cultural and educational experience of this campus. The Editorial Board hopes each essay is read, each artwork admired, and each poem felt, so that the reader may connect with RACC students’ ideas. Whether the essay is "Meeting the Needs of Gay and Lesbian High School Students," "Influences on the Construction of the Religious Clause of the First Amendment," "Raisin in the Sun: Historically Correct," or "Voices of a Gendered Nation: Barbie and G.I. Joe Speak Out," academic research supports the authors’ original viewpoint. After the essays, we provide a brief biography on the author. The students’ artistic and poetic expressions allow the reader to celebrate the passionate voices and determined strokes of pencil, pen, and brush. Artists and poets’ biographies are located on page 88 of the journal. The Editorial Board envisions this student project as a catalyst for other campus initiatives. Diane Adams, Dean of Students, believed in the Editorial Board’s commitment and intention to create a richly textured student publication. Legacy Volume II does not fall into an elitist or unrealistic abyss, but rather a proud growth marker for the people passing through Reading Area Community College. May the reader be inspired to linger a moment on our students’ bridges of thought--for the only real place to stay--is in the faith of humankind.

  • Marge Piercy - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Marge Piercy - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Marge Piercy(March 31, 1936) an American poet, novelist, and social activist. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller Gone to Soldiers, a sweeping historical novel set during World War II. Piercy was born in Detroit, Michigan, to a family deeply affected by the Great Depression. She was the first in her family to attend college, studying at the University of Michigan. Winning a Hopwood Award for Poetry and Fiction (1957) enabled her to finish college and spend some time in France, and her formal schooling ended with an M.A. from Northwestern University. Her first book of poems, Breaking Camp, was published in 1968. An indifferent student in her early years, Piercy developed a love of books when she came down with rheumatic fever in her mid-childhood and could do little but read. "It taught me that there's a different world there, that there were all these horizons that were quite different from what I could see," she said in a 1984 Wired interview. As of 2004 she is author of seventeen volumes of poems, among them The Moon is Always Female (1980, considered a feminist classic) and The Art of Blessing the Day (1999), as well as fifteen novels, one play (The Last White Class, co- authored with her third and current husband Ira Wood), one collection of essays (Parti-colored Blocks for a Quilt), one nonfiction book, and one memoir. Her novels and poetry often focus on feminist or social concerns, although her settings vary.

  • The Power Within Us to Create the World Anew
    The Power Within Us to Create the World Anew: A Discussion with Grace Lee Boggs 3TEVIE0EACE\Team Colors Collective Out of an incredible movement history, bound up with individuals like C.L.R. James and Malcolm X as well as organizations from the Black Panthers to Detroit Summer, Grace Lee Boggs has emerged as one of the foremost political thinkers and philosophers in the United States. Now 94 years old and still committed to activism and new conversations in Detroit, her home of over fifty years, Grace shares in this interview some of the most important insights she has gleaned throughout her life. She discusses the tangible connections between her personal and political experiences, expounding on the importance of theory in movement build- ing, the recognition of our constantly changing reality, and the historical examples of sea changes in the struggle, as new questions and divisions have challenged us to not only think differently, but to also understand how we know. Grace suggests that the present moment can be a tremen- dous opportunity for evolving our humanity—a task that requires a full assessment of the damage done by oppressive forces, a commitment towards healing and “growing our souls,” and an imagination stemming from new stories and new relations that we create. This interview was conducted and transcribed by Stevie Peace of Team Colors Collective on December 11, 2009. Additionally, Grace participated in the editing process and provided important footnotes and citations.

  • Phd Thesis Jayne Glover FINAL SUBMISSION
    “A COMPLEX AND DELICATE WEB”: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SELECTED SPECULATIVE NOVELS BY MARGARET ATWOOD, URSULA K. LE GUIN, DORIS LESSING AND MARGE PIERCY Thesis Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Rhodes University By Jayne Ashleigh Glover December 2007 Abstract This thesis examines selected speculative novels by Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. Le Guin, Doris Lessing and Marge Piercy. It argues that a specifiable ecological ethic can be traced in their work – an ethic which is explored by them through the tensions between utopian and dystopian discourses. The first part of the thesis begins by theorising the concept of an ecological ethic of respect for the Other through current ecological philosophies, such as those developed by Val Plumwood. Thereafter, it contextualises the novels within the broader field of science fiction, and speculative fiction in particular, arguing that the shift from a critical utopian to a critical dystopian style evinces their changing treatment of this ecological ethic within their work. The remainder of the thesis is divided into two parts, each providing close readings of chosen novels in the light of this argument. Part Two provides a reading of Le Guin’s early Hainish novels, The Left Hand of Darkness , The Word for World is Forest and The Dispossessed , followed by an examination of Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time , Lessing’s The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five , and Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale . The third, and final, part of the thesis consists of individual chapters analysing the later speculative novels of each author.

  • A Network Analysis of Postwar American Poetry in the Age of Digital Audio Archives Ankit Basnet and James Jaehoon Lee
    Journal of April 20, 2021 Cultural Analytics A Network Analysis of Postwar American Poetry in the Age of Digital Audio Archives Ankit Basnet and James Jaehoon Lee Ankit Basnet, University of Cincinnati James Lee, University of Cincinnati Peer-Reviewer: Stephen Voyce Data Repository: 10.7910/DVN/NK7Z2H A B S T R A C T From the New American Poetry to New Formalism, publishing networks such as literary magazines and social scenes such as poetry reading series have served as a capacious model for understanding the varied poetic formations in the postwar period. As audio archives of poetry readings have been digitized in large volumes, Charles Bernstein has suggested that open access to digital archives allows readers of American poetry to create mixtapes in different configurations. Digital archives of poetry readings “offer an intriguing and powerful alternative” to organizing practices such as networks and scenes. Placing Bernstein’s definition of the digital audio archive into contact with more conventional understandings of poetic community gives us a composite vision of organizing principles in postwar American poetry. To accomplish this, we compared poetry reading venues as well as audio archives — alongside more familiar print networks constituted by poetry anthologies and magazines — as important and distinct sites of reception for American poetry. We used network analysis to visualize the relationships of individual poets to venues where they have read, archives where their readings are stored, and text anthologies where their poetry has been printed. Examining several types of poetic archives offers us a new perspective in how we perceive the relationships between poets and their “networks and scenes,” understood both in terms of print and audio culture, as well as trends and changes in the formation of these poetic communities and affiliations.
