  • Small Magazines
    The ENGLISH JOURNAL Vol. XIX NOVEMBER 1930 No. 9 SMALL MAGAZINES EZRA POUND I The earlier history—I might almost call it the pre-history of the small magazines in America—has been ably and conscientiously presented by Dr. Rene Taupin in his L'lnfluence du Symbolisme Francais sur la Poesie Americaine (Paris: Champion, 1930); and I may there leave it for specialists. The active phase of the small magazine in America begins with the founding of Miss Monroe's magazine, Poetry, in Chicago in 1911. The significance of the small magazine has, obviously, noth­ ing to do with format. The significance of any work of art or litera­ ture is a root significance that goes down into its original motivation. When this motivation is merely a desire for money or publicity, or when this motivation is in great part such a desire for money direct­ ly or for publicity as a means indirectly of getting money, there oc­ curs a pervasive monotony in the product corresponding to the un­ derlying monotony in the motivation. The public runs hither and thither with transitory pleasures and underlying dissatisfactions; the specialists say: "This isn't litera­ ture." And a deal of vain discussion ensues. The monotony in the product arises from the monotony in the motivation. During the ten or twenty years preceding 1912 the then-called "better magazines" had failed lamentably and even offensively to maintain intellectual life. They are supposed to have been "good" 689 690 THE ENGLISH JOURNAL during some anterior period.

  • Red Or Dead: States of Poetry in Depression America
    Red or Dead: States of Poetry in Depression America by Sarah Elizabeth Ehlers A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alan M. Wald, Chair Professor Howard Brick Professor June M. Howard Professor Yopie Prins Associate Professor Joshua L. Miller ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The same year I began my Ph.D. work at the University of Michigan, my father lost the coal-mining job he had worked for over twenty years. That particular confluence of events had a profound effect on me, and I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the ways in which my personal feelings of anger and frustration—my sense of being somehow out-of-place—influenced my thinking and this project. Certainly, it was one of the catalysts for my deep interest in the U.S. literary Left. Like so many others, I am indebted to Alan Wald for my understanding of Left literature and culture. Alan has been, probably more than he knows, an example of the kind of scholar I hope to be—even, I admit, an ideal ego of sorts. I continue to be as awed by his deep knowledge as I am by his humility and generosity. Yopie Prins taught me how to read poetry when I already thought I knew how, and my conversations with her over the past five years have shaped my thinking in remarkable ways. From my first days in Ann Arbor, June Howard has been a source of intellectual guidance, and her insights on my work and the profession have been a sustaining influence.

  • On Pilgrimage - Our Spring Appeal
    On Pilgrimage - Our Spring Appeal Dorothy Day The Catholic Worker, May 1970, 1, 2, 11. Summary: Appeals for help and answers the question “What is it all about, this Catholic Worker movement?” Describes the Catholic Worker as a school, a family, and a community of need. Says they are anarchist-pacifist, which is distinguished from nihilism. Asserts the primacy of conscience and “The most effective action we can take is to try to conform our lives to the folly of the Cross, as St. Paul called it.” Keywords: Catholic Worker philosophy, non-violence (DDLW #500). “Now delights the virgin in dance/and young men and old together./I turn their mourning into joy, I console and gladden their woe/I refresh the souls of the priests with delight/and my people are filled with my good things.” Who would know that the above is Jeremiah speaking, the prophet who advocated nonviolence, indeed appeasement, and was thrown into a noisome prison for his plans? I am writing this on a brilliant spring day, with the sun shining gloriously and three little children playing on the lawn in front of the old house at Tivoli. As I look out of the window I see Dan wandering up the road to the house. Dan was brought up here as a child when this place was an extension of an orphanage in Yonkers, a camp in summer and an agricultural school. He loves the place so much, his roots are here, so he has taken over an unused corner of the old mansion, where he sleeps.

The magazines are The Seven Arts (1916-1917), 291 (1915-1916), The Soil (1916-1917), and The Pagan (1916-1922). The division between art and commerce is addressed in the text of all four, in a variety of different ways, and the results of that supposed division are explored for each magazine.

  • News, Notes, & Correspondence a New Edition of a Miscellany
    News, Notes, & Correspondence A New Edition of A Miscellany Revised Long out of print, E. E. Cummings: A Miscellany Revised (October House, 1965) has been republished by Liveright as E. E. Cummings: A Miscellany. Apart from being redesigned and reset in a new typeface, little has changed from the 1965 edition. As before, the book lacks a sorely-needed index, and has no new notes and no new introduction. (The publishers have retained Firmage’s cursory 1965 introduction and Cummings’ very short foreword to the first 1958 edition.) One welcomes the republication of the volume while regretting the lack of updated scholarly content. And curiously, the back cover of the new edition classifies this collection of essays and hu- morous squibs as “Poetry.” A Norton Critical Edition, E. E. Cummings: Selected Poetry Milton Cohen has edited a new volume in the Norton Critical Editions se- ries, called E. E. Cummings: Selected Works, with a publication date in 2019, the 125th anniversary of Cummings’ birth. The volume features an introduction, an annotated selection of poems from every collection of Cummings’ poems (with the exception of the posthumous Etcetera), and critical responses and articles, as well as excerpts from Him, The Enormous Room, and i: six nonlectures. The volume also features eight black and white reproductions of Cummings’ artwork, as well as a small group of letters, two pages of the aphorisms he called “Jottings,” and a selection of critical essays, a chronology, and a bibliography. The reproductions of Cummings’ art are prefaced by an “Overview” by Cohen, while the critical essays are fronted by a preface by Michael Webster.

  • Designs in Chinese Color: China in the Galleries Of
    DESIGNS IN CHINESE COLOR: CHINA IN THE GALLERIES OF MODERNIST LITTLE MAGAZINES, 1912-1935 by GABRIEL ALEXANDER BOWLES (Under the Direction of Jed Rasula) ABSTRACT From the outset, the Modernist preoccupation with China is a fantasy that curates a specifically aesthetic vision of Chinese culture entirely disengaged from the realities of the modern state. This study considers how the modern museum informs modern literature’s composition of an aestheticized China, constituting a communal viewing space in which Chinese objets d’art are collected in galleries, cultivating narratives of passivity and compliance that are mired in fantasies of Imperial China INDEX WORDS: China, Modernism, Poetry, Little Magazines, Museums DESIGNS IN CHINESE COLOR: China in the galleries of modernist little magazines, 1912-1935 by GABRIEL ALEXANDER BOWLES B.A., The University of Colorado, 2003 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2007 © 2007 Gabriel Alexander Bowles All Rights Reserved DESIGNS IN CHINESE COLOR: CHINA IN THE GALLERIES OF MODERNIST LITTLE MAGAZINES, 1912-1935 by GABRIEL ALEXANDER BOWLES Major Professor: Jed Rasula Committee: Andrew Cole Susan Rosenbaum Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia August 2007 iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE: PROCEDURAL INFORMATION DESK................................................................1 COLLECTION IN CONTEXT Modernist Little
