The long poems I investigate include works that respond to disaster, war, and other forms of large-scale social transformation, such as David Jones’ In Parenthesis, which records the author’s experience fighting in the trenches in World War I, and Jose Pacheco’s “Las Ruinas de México,” which responds to the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that brought the city close to ruins in a context already defined by the ruins of colonial conquest. I argue that poems since the first decades of modernism have engaged with complicated notions of time framed by disaster, crisis, and change. I thus consider how these poems meet the demands of various historical problems in late modernity by grafting together materials from different time periods and traditions, by relying on the resources of local geographies and natural histories, and by exaggerating difference and asymmetry as spatio-temporal forces that rearrange the discrete categories of literary history and national belonging. The texts I consider—David Jones’ In Parenthesis (1937), Cesar Vallejo’s España, aparta de mi este calíz (1937), iv H.D.’s Trilogy (1944), William Carlos Williams’s Paterson (1946-1958), Muriel Rukeyser’s The Book of the Dead (1938), Gabriela Mistral’s Poema de Chile (1967), Jose Pacheco’s “Las Ruinas de México” (1986), and Charles Reznikoff’s Testimony (1965)—compose a heterogeneous archive that does not cohere within a single tradition associated with either modernist or avant-garde aesthetics or with the long poem. Rather than situate these texts in linear relation or according to a linguistic or national tradition, I group them according to shared themes or topoi, such that the particular discursive interventions in the poems provide the larger organizing principle for interpretation. The topics I consider are war, specifically the modes of modern warfare that emerge in three different historical sites in the first half of the twentieth century: World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II; the emergence of the industrial as a potentially dehumanizing or alienating feature of capitalist development; and the role of violence in everyday life, particularly the role violence plays in extending beneath and defining but also in threatening the preservation of the coherence of the everyday. By grouping poems within these thematic contexts such as war and industrialization rather than according to language, period, or national tradition, I explore the potential of this framework to open new contexts—material, phenomenological, cultural—for reading, interpretation, and engagement. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many, many thanks to my dissertation committee—Tyrus Miller, Norma Klahn, and Rob Wilson—for their insight, support, encouragement, patience, and enthusiasm. Above all, I thank them for taking the time to work with me on this project and for helping me to see it through to completion. This dissertation was completed with the support of a Chancellor’s Dissertation Year Fellowship, a Graduate Division Sabbatical Fellowship, and a Literature Department Summer Fellowship, which allowed me to visit the Yale Beinecke Library archive to research the H.D. and William Carlos Williams Papers. Special thanks to the members of The Poetry and Politics Research Cluster, especially Andrea Quaid, Keegan Finberg, and Eireene Nealand, who provided me with necessary community, conversation, and friendship over the last seven years, and to the Literature Department staff, especially Emily Gregg and Carol Stoneburner. Thank you to my dad, for reading to me when I was a child, to my sisters, for reading with me, and to my mom, for always wanting to read what I’ve been writing. Michael Labenz has supported me, listened to me, read portions of this dissertation, given me advice, nagged me, asked me questions, and put up with this work as a part of our everyday life for many years. This dissertation is dedicated to Mike and to my teachers. Thank you. vi Introduction: A New Mind The same shoes will fit whoever climbs without trails to his body & whoever descends to the form of his soul! Entwining one another the mutes will speak, the paralyzed will walk! The blind, upon coming back, will see & throbbing the deaf will hear! The ignorant will be wise, the wise will be ignorant! Kisses will be given that you could not give! Only death will die! The ant will bring little pieces of bread to the elephant chained to his brutal gentleness; the aborted children will be born again perfect, special, & all men will work, all men will beget, all men will understand! —César Vallejo España aparta de mí este cáliz Without invention nothing is well spaced, unless the mind change, unless the stars are new measured, according to their relative positions, the line will not change, the necessity will not matriculate: unless there is a new mind there cannot be a new line, the old will go on repeating itself with recurring deadliness: without invention nothing lies under the witch-hazel bush, the alder does not grow from among the hummocks margining the all but spent channel of the old swale, the small foot-prints of the mice under the overhanging tufts of the bunch-grass will not appear: without invention the line will never again take on its ancient divisions when the word, a supple word, lived in it, crumbled now to chalk. —William Carlos Williams Paterson 1 I. These selections from César Vallejo’s España, aparta de mí este cáliz and William Carlos Williams’s Paterson feature some of the shared concerns that emerge in long poems written in the twentieth century, features that help dramatize the way many cultural, political, and spiritual concerns of this period in history fostered new modes of awareness, engagement, and action. For example, Vallejo’s España offers an extended homage and elegy for the Republican volunteers that fought on behalf of the elected government during the Spanish Civil War, and thus evokes an almost occult mode of ritual invocation or remembering, an effort to bridge the gap between the living and the dead or the material and the divine. Though perhaps no less ritual in its modes of signification, Williams’s project in Paterson seeks to invent and communicate a specifically American literary tradition that emerges out of archival, natural, geographical, and experiential sources and materials of the New World, specifically, in this case, of Paterson, New Jersey. In both cases, the poems become sources of cultural and ritual memory enabled by poetic processes of figuration, citation, association, and collage, the effects of which provoke new modes of historical and cultural awareness. Although the styles and thematic concerns of these two poems are different and worth maintaining in comparison, I find in them a shared desire to redefine and measure anew the historical materials that enable (or disable) modes of composition. Both trace a new relation to knowledge, to writing, and to work that relocates the processes and products of the mind (cognition, figuration) within the body’s 2 experience of space, and both seem to thus evoke a spatial imaginary that eclipses or evades a unidirectional “line” that runs from Europe to the New World. Imagining a New World that resists the snares of inherited tradition thus requires forms of begetting, inventing, working, and remembering the dead, the mute, the particular, and the material relations that exist outside of the speaker’s inherited circumference. For Vallejo, an inherited tradition offers silence and dismemberment, features of a colonial history that wrest bodies apart from their material potentials. Paul Bové makes a similar observation about Williams’s desire in Paterson to “to de-code or interpret the falls of unintelligible language we, as Americans, inherit from Europe and…from a metaphysical tradition whose reifications have usurped all language and made it unavailable for the representation of a non-metaphysical world” (585).

  • Dionne Brand's Global Intimacies: Practising Affective Citizenship
    Dionne Brand’s Global Intimacies: Practising Affective Citizenship Diana Brydon “I say this big world is the story, I don’t have any other” (Inventory 84) Rosi Braidotti suggests that “The human has been subsumed in global relations of intimacy, complicity and proximity with forces of the inhuman and post-human kind: scientific, industrial and military complexes, global communication networks, processes of commodification and exchange on a global scale” (264). She argues further that it is the task of critical theory to track the “fluctuations“ of this new disorder (264). In this paper I ask what tracking these fluctuations involves, for the poet Dionne Brand who sets herself this task in her long poem, Inventory, and for the critic who reads her work fully attentive to the historical legacies of humanism and their entanglements with the humanities and the humanitarian.1 The CFP for this special issue asks two related questions that I pursue here: “what good is the study of literature?” and “how does the turn to ethics position literary criticism in relation to politics?” It is not possible to answer these questions definitively. In this paper, I follow Brand’s lead into registering the visceral force of the kinds of global intimacies enumerated by Braidotti in order to ask what these practices imply for the political projects of citizenship and community in contemporary times. I argue that to fully grasp the implications of how Brand’s poetry engages and is engaged in these emerging global complicities, critics need to attend to the dynamics of the experiential dimensions of its affect as well as its explicit meaning.2 “On Poetry,” the last essay in Dionne Brand’s Bread Out of Stone, concludes: “Poetry is here, just here.

  • LOCATING the IDEAL HOMELAND TN the LITERATURE of EDWIDGE DANTICAT by JULIANE OKOT BITEK B.F.A., the University of British Columb
    LOCATING THE IDEAL HOMELAND TN THE LITERATURE OF EDWIDGE DANTICAT by JULIANE OKOT BITEK B.F.A., The University of British Columbia, 1995 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULIFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May2009 © Juliane Okot Bitek, 2009 ABSTRACT Edwidge Danticat, who has lived most of her life in the United States, retains a strong link with Haiti and primarily writes about the Haitian experience inside and outside the country. For Danticat, the ‘ideal homeland’ is a psychic space where she can be Haitian, American, and belong to both countries. Danticat’s aspiration and position as one who can make claim to both Haiti and the United States somewhat supports Stuart Hall’s notion of cultural identity as a fluid entity and an identity that is becoming and is, not one that is static and was. However, Danticat locates her ‘ideal homeland’ within the Haitian Dyaspora, as a social construct that includes all the people of the Haitian descent in the diaspora, whatever their countries of citizenship. This ideal homeland is an emotional and literary space for continued expression and creation of Haitian identity, history and culture. It is not a geographical space and as such, requires that membership in it engage through text. This paper investigates ways in which Danticat expresses the ideal homeland in her fiction and nonfiction works. I use Dionne Brand, Kamau Brathwaite, Edward Soja and Judith Lewis Herman among others, as theorists to discover this ideal homeland in order to show that Danticat, like many diasporic writers, is actively engaged in locating for themselves where they can engage in their work as they create new communities and take charge of how they tell their stories and how they identify themselves.

  • Creole Modernism
    ANKHI MUKHERJEE Creole Modernism As affirmations of the modern go, few can match the high spirits of Susan Stanford Friedman’s invitation to formulate a “planetary epistemology” of modernist studies. As she explains in a footnote, Friedman uses the term “planetarity” in a different sense than Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak in Death of a Discipline, where the latter proposes that “if we imagine ourselves as planetary subjects rather than global agents, planetary creatures rather than global entities, alterity remains underived from us.”1 If Spivak’s planet-thought is a “utopian gesture of resistance against globalization as the geohistorical and economic domination of the Global South,” Friedman’s own use of the term ‘planetarity’ is epistemological, implying “a consciousness of the earth as planet, not restricted to geopolitical formations and potentially encompassing the non-human as well as the human.”2 Friedman’s planetary epistemology needs the playground of “modernism/modernity,” the slash denoting a simultaneous separation and connection, “the paradox of all borders,” which she considers to be richly generative (475). For modernism is not simply outside or after modernity, a belated reaction to the shock of it. It is contained within modernity (or particular modernities) as its aesthetic domain, and interacts with other domains, commercial, technological, societal, and governmental. It follows that “Every modernity has its distinctive modernism” (475). Pluralizing the key terms to engage with the polylogue of languages and cultures issuing from forms of modernism/modernity everywhere, Friedman’s invocation of this transformational (planetary) model of cultural circulation opens up possibilities for modernist studies to venture fearlessly outside the Anglo-American field and into “elsewhere” places that constitute modernism’s Other: the colonies and ex- colonies of South Asia and the Caribbean, the American South, and the Diaspora.

  • Poem on the Page: a Collection of Broadsides
    Granary Books and Jeff Maser, Bookseller are pleased to announce Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides Robert Creeley. For Benny and Sabina. 15 1/8 x 15 1/8 inches. Photograph by Ann Charters. Portents 18. Portents, 1970. BROADSIDES PROLIFERATED during the small press and mimeograph era as a logical offshoot of poets assuming control of their means of publication. When technology evolved from typewriter, stencil, and mimeo machine to moveable type and sophisticated printing, broadsides provided a site for innovation with design and materials that might not be appropriate for an entire pamphlet or book; thus, they occupy a very specific place within literary and print culture. Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides includes approximately 500 broadsides from a diverse range of poets, printers, designers, and publishers. It is a unique document of a particular aspect of the small press movement as well as a valuable resource for research into the intersection of poetry and printing. See below for a list of some of the poets, writers, printers, typographers, and publishers included in the collection. Selected Highlights from the Collection Lewis MacAdams.

  • Eduardo Galeano – ¡Presente!
    Eduardo Galeano – ¡Presente! Eduardo Galeano, the world-renowned leftist Uruguayan journalist and writer made famous with the publication in 1971 of his book The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, died today at the age of 74 in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he lived. Long admired as a journalist, with his three-volume Memory of Fire in 1982, Galeano also became known as a writer of non-fiction prose who might be compared to writers of fiction such as Gabriel García Márquez, author of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude or Isabel Allende who wrote House of the Spirits. Like their novels, his trilogy captures the real spirit of Latin America’s magical history. Born Eduardo Germán María Hughes Galeano in Montevideo on September 3, 1940, Galeano began his career as a journalist in the early 1960s working as a correspondent for Sol and then as an editor for Marcha, which published such writers as Mario Vargas Llosa and Mario Benedetti. When a rightwing military coup took power in Uruguay in 1973, Galeano was jailed and subsequently went into exile, first in Argentina, where he edited Crisis, and then in Spain where he wrote his trilogy Memory of Fire (Genesis, Faces and Masks, and Century of the Wind). Memory of Fire mixed history and journalism in vignettes and biographical sketches written in a creative prose style that reminded American readers of John Dos Passos’ 1930s classic U.SA. triology (The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money). Open Veins of Latin America was a detailed, systematic, and sustained attack on European and U.S.
