By Way of Old Petersburg: Desmond O'grady and Russian Poetry
VTU Review: Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 5 Issue 1 2021 “St. Cyril and St. Methodius” University of Veliko Tarnovo By Way of Old Petersburg: Desmond O’Grady and Russian Poetry Alla Kononova University of Tyumen The article takes on a direction which has great potential for further studies of contemporary Irish poetry: studying the work of Irish poets through their relation to Russian literature. It focuses on the reception and reimagining of Russian poetry in the work of Desmond O’Grady, one of the leading figures in Irish poetry, who started writing in the mid-1950s. The article studies three poems by O’Grady which are ad- dressed to his Russian counterparts: “Missing Andrei Voznesensky,” “Joseph Brodsky Visits Kinsale,” and “My City,” a translation from Anna Akhmatova’s “Poem without a Hero.” None of these poems has yet been subject of thorough critical analysis. Each of the poems has become a signpost on O’Grady’s poetic map and an important element of his own “private mythology.” When analysed in the wider context of Irish poetry, they help form a clearer picture of the influence Russian literature has had on contemporary Irish poets. Keywords: comparative literature, Irish literature, contemporary Irish poetry, Desmond O’Grady, Irish-Russian literary connections, Andrei Voznesensky, Joseph Brodsky, Anna Akhmatova. Desmond O’Grady (1935–2014) is one of the most remarkable figures in Irish poetry of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He is sometimes described as a phenomenon “unusual among Irish poets of his generation for both his interest in modernist experimentation and his immersion in the poetry of other cultures” (Mills). -

English 233: Tradition and Renewal in American Indian Literature
ENGLISH 233 Tradition and Renewal in American Indian Literature COURSE DESCRIPTION English 233 is an introduction to North American Indian verbal art. This course is designed to satisfy the General Education literary studies ("FSLT") requirement. FSLT courses are supposed to concentrate on textual interpretation; they are supposed to prompt you to analyze how meaning is (or, at least, may be) constructed by verbal artists and their audiences. Such courses are also supposed to give significant attention to how texts are created and received, to the historical and cultural contexts in which they are created and received, and to the relationship of texts to one another. In this course you will be doing all these things as you study both oral and written texts representative of emerging Native American literary tradition. You will be introduced to three interrelated kinds of "text": oral texts (in the form of videotapes of live traditional storytelling performances), ethnographic texts (in the form of transcriptions of the sorts of verbal artistry covered above), and "literary" texts (poetry and novels) written by Native Americans within the past 30 years that derive much of their authority from oral tradition. The primary focus of the course will be on analyzing the ways that meaning gets constructed in these oral and print texts. Additionally, in order to remain consistent with the objectives of the FSLT requirement, you will be expected to pay attention to some other matters that these particular texts raise and/or illustrate. These other concerns include (a) the shaping influence of various cultural and historical contexts in which representative Native American works are embedded; (b) the various literary techniques Native American writers use to carry storyteller-audience intersubjectivity over into print texts; and (c) the role that language plays as a generative, reality-inducing force in Native American cultural traditions. -
My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod the Word
XIV Passions: My Children, Teaching, and Nimrod The word passion has most often been associated with strong sexual desire or lust. I have felt a good deal of that kind of passion in my life but I prefer not to speak of it at this moment. Instead, it is the appetite for life in a broader sense that seems to have driven most of my actions. Moreover, the former craving is focused on an individual (unless the sexual drive is indiscriminant) and depends upon that individual for a response in order to intensify or even maintain. Fixating on my first husband—sticking to him no matter what his response, not being able to say goodbye to him —almost killed me. I had to shift the focus of my sexual passion to another and another and another in order to receive the spark that would rekindle and sustain me. That could have been dangerous; I was lucky. But with the urge to create, the intense passion to “make something,” there was always another outlet, another fulfillment just within reach. My children, teaching, and Nimrod, the journal I edited for so many years, eased my hunger, provided a way to participate and delight in something always changing and growing. from The passion to give birth to and grow with my children has, I believe, been expressed in previous chapters. I loved every aspect of having children conception, to the four births, three of which I watched in a carefully placed mirror at the foot of the hospital delivery room bed: May 6, 1957, birth of Leslie Ringold; November 8, 1959, birth of John Ringold; August 2, 1961: birth of Jim Ringold; July 27, 1964: birth of Suzanne Ringold (Harman). -

American Book Awards 2004
BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre. -
Transcultural Intertextuality: Reading Asian North American Poetry
TRANSCULTURAL INTERTEXTUALITY: READING ASIAN NORTH AMERICAN POETRY by Xiwen Mai 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 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Susan Y. Najita, Chair Professor Laurence Goldstein Professor Shuen-Fu Lin Associate Professor Sarita See © Xiwen Mai 2010 To My Parents ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the unwavering support, encouragement, and advice of my dissertation committee. My greatest intellectual debt is to Professor Susan Najita, the chair of my committee. She has not only ushered me through every step of graduate school—from the coursework of the very first semester to the completion of this dissertation—but also challenged me to think deeply about my position as a critic. Her incisive questions and invaluable comments on every draft of my chapters have sharpened my thinking and made this project a better one. Professor Laurence Goldstein has been a thoughtful and thorough reader whose passion for both studying and writing poetry inspires me. For his generous investment in this project‘s development, I owe him more than I can say. I am also fortunate to have Professor Sarita See as a committee member. It was during her seminar on Asian American literary criticism that the thought of studying Asian North American poetry first occurred to me. Our numerous conversations ever since have always brought me a renewed sense of purpose. For her wonderful humor and energy, I will always be grateful. Professor Shuen-Fu Lin has been a great source of inspiration for me as well with his vast and profound knowledge of poetry in both English and Chinese. -
