Crosscut literary magazine Husson College Bangor, Maine 2004 Volume Twelve i Crosscut EDITORIAL STAFF Editors Greg Winston Amanda Kitchen Cover Photo “Rocks” Kathy Wall Crosscut website: http://english.husson.edu/crosscut/ First Edition. Press run of 500 copies; no reprinting is planned. Printed by Fast Forms Printing & Paper, Bangor, Maine. Funded by Husson College. All rights to individual works are retained by their authors. For permission to reprint, contact the authors and artists directly. Address all correspondence and submissions (up to three poems, three drawings or photographs, or prose selections up to 5,000 words) to Editorial Staff, Crosscut magazine, Department of English, Husson College, One College Circle, Bangor, ME 04401. ii Preface The mere thought of spring brings to mind together- ness and renewal. Rivers of melting snow and ice form tributaries, finding each other and crossing paths, flow- ing together to free themselves from their stagnant form. The once-frozen paths weaving throughout our Maine woods shed their white armor, heartedly inviting pairs of treaded footprints to meet along their crossing journeys. Gloves and mittens are tossed in the closet for another year, allowing loved ones to entwine their hands into one another’s as they venture out into the fresh new season. Over the years, Crosscut has become a powerful symbol of spring in just this light. The poetry, prose, and imagery in each of its contributor’s art flows together, melting movement and life into the freshly printed pages. Its readers, in turn, breathe in each stir of emotion and new image formed, feeling renewed and refreshed.

    MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2019 PERFECT ALIBI IF ARLINGTON CLOSES, WHAT HAPPENS TO CHICAGO RACING? UNASSAILABLE IN The Week in Review, T.D. Thornton Anger and betrayal were the prevalent responses from the SPINAWAY WIN Illinois Thoroughbred community in the wake of last week=s stunning announcement by Churchill Downs, Inc., (CDI) that the corporation intentionally missed a racino application deadline and will not seek slots and table games at Arlington International Racecourse after 12 years of teaming with horsemen to finally get the Illinois Gaming Act passed in June. A chief reason cited by CDI in its Aug. 28 press release was the cost burden of having to contribute gaming revenues to purses. CDI=s shocker generated no shortage of accusations that the corporation simply cannot be trusted to put its stewardship of the sport on par with its quest for bottom-line gaming profits.

Newkome, Ph.D. _______________________________ ________________________________ Faculty Reader Date Dr. Patrick Chura _______________________________ Faculty Reader Dr. Hillary Nunn _______________________________ Department Chair Dr. William Thelin ii ABSTRACT Reading Emily Dickinson’s use of pearls, diamonds, and gold and silver alongside periodicals available during her day helps to build a stronger sense of what the popular American cultural conceptions were regarding those materials and the entities they influenced. After looking at pearls in “The Malay – took the Pearl –” (Fr451) in Chapter II, we discover how Dickinson’s invocation of a specific kind of racial other, the Malay, and the story she constructs around them provides a very detailed view of the level of racial bias reserved for the Malay race, especially in relation to their role in the pearl industry. Most criticism regarding her gemstone use centers upon the various layers of interpretation fleshed out from her work rather than also looking to her poems as a source of musings on actual geo-political occurrences.
