1 GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 21 (Spring 2021) Three
GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 21 (Spring 2021) Three Missing Books in Finnegans Wake Viviana-Mirela Braslasu and Geert Lernout In the course of her work for a University of Antwerp doctorate, Viviana-Mirela Braslasu has identified three undocumented sources in James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake: Oliver Wendell Holmes’ The Professor at the Breakfast-Table, Dame Partlet’s Farm and Lewis Carroll in Wonderland and at Home by Belle Moses. We don’t have notebook evidence, so the following identifications are conjectural, but we tried to be as expansive as possible. We offer the identifications in the order in which they appear in the respective book, but needless to say at least some of these items may have been found by Joyce in one of the many other sources that were available to him. This is our evidence for the fact that Joyce did use the three books: In December 1923-January 1924, in the first draft of Book I, chapter 5, section 4, Joyce wrote: These paper wounds, four in type, were gradually and correctly understand (sic) to mean stop, please stop, do please stop, and O do please stop respectively, and investigation showed that they were provoked by the fork of a professor at the breakfast table. Deeply religious by nature, it was correctly suspected that such anger could not openly have been directed against the ancestral spirit of her who one openly respected by him, as our first boys’ best friend and, when it was at last noticed detected that the fourth or heaviest gash was most more frequent where wherever the script was clear and the term terse and that these were the exact places carefully selected for her perforations by Dame Partland Partlet on the dunghill, reluctantly the theory of the jabbering ape was abandoned hotly dropped and its place usurped by that odious & even now today insufficiently despised person notetaker Jim the Penman.

He then had stopped at my booth at the '63 Hall of Flowers(SF) poster show. Bruce's call was the beginning of a close friendship, working together with Chet Helms on many Family Dog posters. Bruce had gotten word that Boots Hughston was looking for a poster artist for the Helms Tribute Benefit that he was promoting. There already were several posters being done, including ones by Wes Wilson and Alton Kelley; but rock superstar Steve Miller had just signed on and they wanted a poster to have him included on the complete lineup.

Rustum KOZAIN, Tres Poemas De This Carting Life Y Dos Poemas Sueltos INTRODUCCIÓN AL AUTOR Y SU OBRA Rustum Kozain Nació En 19
ISSN: 1139-7489 Rustum KOZAIN, tres poemas de This Carting Life y dos poemas sueltos Traducidos del inglés por Isabel BALSEIRO Harvey Mudd College, The Claremont Colleges [email protected] INTRODUCCIÓN AL AUTOR Y SU OBRA Rustum Kozain nació en 1966 en Paarl, Cabo Occidental, Sudáfrica. Se matriculó en la University of Cape Town, donde hizo Filología Inglesa y Creación Literaria. En 1994 y 1995 recibió una beca Fulbright para estudiar en Bowling Green State University, Ohio, EE.UU. De 1998 al 2004 impartió clases de literatura, cine y creación literaria en la University of Cape Town. Ha publicado dos colecciones de poesía: This Carting Life (Kwela/Snailpress, 2005) y Groundwork (Kwela/Snailpress, 2010). Asimismo, sus reseñas, ensayos y ficción han aparecido en diversas antologías y revistas literarias. El poeta ha recibido numerosos premios por su obra, entre ellos: el Philip Stein Poetry Award en 1997, el Thomas Pringle Award en 2004, el Ingrid Jonker Award por This Carting Life (2005), así como el Olive Schreiner Prize en 2007. Los tres primeros poemas traducidos están incluidos en su primera col- ección, This Carting Life (2005), la cual recoge una década de labor creativa. Considerado como uno de los grandes poetas de su generación, Kozain ha sido merecidamente elogiado por una obra de impecable corte histórico y una sobriedad absoluta. Bien sea un poema sobre el exuberante paisaje de las viñas de Paarl, de donde es oriundo, sobre la omnipresente, conflictiva, y añorada figura del padre, sobre el dolor que provocan el desamor o las decepciones en el ámbito de la política, Kozain mantiene el pulso sin permitir que las emocio- nes dominen, más bien al contrario, con una férrea y precisa técnica poética controla hasta el más mínimo detalle de unos versos a los que el lector se si- ente en la obligación estética de regresar.

Sammy Campbell and the Del Larks
Doo Wop and Soul in the Birthplace of Funk: The Story of Sammy & the Del Larks by Charlie Horner With contributions from Pamela Horner Gospel. “We sang in church,” Sammy recalled. “I was more into listening than singing. Do you remem- ber Lovelace Watkins? Well we went to his church, a little church in Plainfield on Liberty St. and 2nd called the Church of God in Christ. Watkins played guitar. Vivian played keyboard and they sang together. Lovelace Watkins began recording and going over to Europe. But before that, I used to sit there and listen to him sing and everybody would be clapping and feet moving. You had that excitement in the air.” Lovelace Watkins went on to international acclaim in Europe and South Africa as a jazz singer before re- turning to become as mainstay in Las Vegas. Watkins’ gospel beginnings were preserved on at least one 78 RPM release on Newark’s Coleman label. Young Sam Campbell also had secular musical influences. “Ray Charles,” Sam remembered, “Had ‘Drowning in My Own Tears.’ That was the only record I had. I used to listen to that song till the water would come out of the record. He was my favorite.” The original Del Larks started around 1953. The first group consisted of Sam Campbell (lead); his brother, David “Sonny” Campbell (first tenor); Allen Walker (baritone); Louie Dickerson (second tenor); and Harold Erby (bass). All were from Plainfield with the exception of Howard Erby who was from Scotch Plains. NJ. Sam recalled his first group doing a lot of cover Tyrone Ashley, aka Sammy Campbell songs.
