  • Jeff Westover
    Westover 1 Competing Forms of Representation and the Figure of the Orphan in William Carlos Williams’s Depression-Era Passaic ―The finest short stories are those that raise, in short, one particular man or woman from that Gehenna, the newspapers, where at last all men are equal, to the distinction of being an individual. To be responsive not to the ordinances of the herd (Russia-like) but to the extraordinary responsibility of being a person‖ (Selected Essays 297). ―The poet judges not as the judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.‖ –Walt Whitman, preface to Leaves of Grass (9). ―The world‘s an orphan‘s home.‖ – Marianne Moore, ―In Distrust of Merits‖ (137). In Life Along the Passaic, William Carlos Williams uses the discrepancy between realism and modernism (or between the reality of experience and the representation of it) to diagnose the illness of his culture and show the plight of individuals during the Depression through the metaphor of the orphan. In addition, figurations of family, both positive and negative, offer an imaginative survey of possibilities and pitfalls for remedying the plight of the orphan. The figurations of family are not offered as a cure or consolation for loss but instead as representations of the ways individuals counteract or cope with loss and poverty. The signs of personal dignity and creativity that permeate Williams‘s collection of stories also testify to the capacity and culture of marginalized people. These signs of accomplishment and individuality are all the more admirable for existing in the face of being cut off, or orphaned, from beneficial resources that ought to be available.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

And I fly. Whoever said I was chained? MARIN SORESCU (1936—1996) LEDA Come not with kisses Not with caresses Of hands and lips and murmurings; Come with the hiss of wings And sea-touch tip of a beak And treading of wet, webbed, wave-working feet Into the marsh-soft belly.

Some of you, 1 am afraid, may want to question the relevance as well as the utility of an introduction to William Shakespeare for, generally speaking, neither in your school nor in your college have you been too far away from the Bard of Avon. You could not have been. A student of English Literature cannot perhaps hope to graduate without reading Shakespeare because it will mean studying the human body and not learning about the heart and the circulatory system. Yet I feel that I should introduce or rather re-introduce Shakespeare to make you aware of certain facts/issues/controversies. 3.2 qqq Shakespeare : Life and Works From your study of Shakespeare at the undergraduate level, you know that a great deal 70 of mystery shrouds the poet-dramatist and his identity itself has been in question for many hundred years now. It has almost turned into a literary detective story, with enthusiasts trying to unveil the truth about a man known to have been born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23 April 1564 and baptized on the 26th.

    THE POSTHUMANISM OF WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS by CHRISTOPHER EDWARDS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2016 Faculty of Arts School of Culture and Communication 1 Figure 1: Unknown. William Carlos Williams wearing beret (fragment). n.d, Photograph. Beinecke Rare Books & Manuscript Library, New Haven. 2 ABSTRACT There is a torn fragment of a black and white photograph in the Beinecke rare book room at Yale University, showing American poet William Carlos Williams wearing a beret and tie (see figure 1). A tear cuts off the right two thirds of the original image, but Williams himself has been cut in half by the framing of the shot itself. What remains of the image of the poet has, in turn, been beset by time and mishandling; a white crease bisects Williams’s face a second time. Yet of all the images that exist of Williams, it is this unusual photograph that, more than any other, sums up Williams’s most significant, and most significantly unrecognised, achievements as a poet. Despite his reputation as a poet of clarity, of economic and discrete images of wheelbarrows, chickens and plums, it becomes clear upon closer reading that Williams’s poetics actively resisted notions of unity, clarity and stability of forms—even at the level of his own subjectivity. Rather, Williams’s poetics is predicated on the assumption that all objects, all words, and all human subjects are, like the man in the beret in the photograph, unstable and fragile components of the continuum of the material world.

  • What Is Your Favorite Poem? Lee Gordon, C’68
    Class of 1968 QOD – What is your favorite poem? Lee Gordon, C’68: I thought it might be interesting and worthwhile to hear from an expert in the literary field. Thus, Penn Professor Phyllis Rackin came to my immediate attention. Below are Phyllis’ “Elite Eight” poems: “Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order. Hopkins "God's Grandeur" Yeats "Father and Child" "Among School Children" "Vacillation" Shakespeare Sonnet 130 Macleish "Not marble nor the gilded monuments" Marvell "The Definition of Love" Frost "Nature's first green is gold" Lee Gordon, C'68 This one I had memorized back in Junior High School. This poem made me realize that you must never be envious of someone’s wealth, fame or looks. You just never know what is going on in other people’s lives. In short, be grateful for all the good things life has brought you. Even a cynical 60’s guy like me can be humbled by this poem. Richard Cory, by Edwin Arlington Robinson Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him: He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, "Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich—yes, richer than a king— And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.
