My goal in this paper is to solve a question: how did Asian American poets articulate their ethnicity through their poetry reading? Japanese American poets Lawson Fusao Inada (1938-) creates jazz poetry, which are devoted to the theme of his experience of Japanese American internment. Therefore, I will describe the historical racial issue in America through an examination of Lawson Fusao Inada’s poetry reading about a concentration camp, with an emphasis on the racial solidarity evoked by jazz music. Investigating jazz, which is created by non-African minorities, may lead to solving the complexity of multiculturalism in America. I. Lawson Fusao Inada and his Works Lawson Fusao Inada, a third-generation (sansei) Japanese American, was born on May 26, 1938 in Fresno, California. Inada’s family was living in the west side of Fresno which had a “racially mixed working-class community.”(Huang, 145) The place Inada and his family lived is divided by a railway from the white in the east and the minorities in the west.

    Native American Poets and the Voices of History in the Present Tense

    The Spirits Still Among Us: Native American Poets and the Voices of History in the Present Tense Sydney Hunt Coffin Edison/Fareira High School Overview Introduction Rationale Objectives Strategies Classroom Activites/Lesson Plans Annotated Bibliography/Resources Appendices/Standards Endnotes What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.1 Overview So spoke Crowfoot, orator of the Blackfoot Confederacy in 1890, above, on his deathbed. Even while this was not identified as poetry at the time, much of the wisdom of this Native American speaker comes across to readers poetically. Similarly, much of the poetry of Native American poets can be read simply as wisdom. Though there was a significant number of tribes, and a tremendous number of people at the time of the European invasion, each tribal language displays simultaneously a distinct identity as well as a variety of individual voices. However, the published poetry from native authors across the vast spectrum of tribal affiliations between the beginning and end of the 20th century reveal three unifying themes: (1) respecting a common reverence for the land from which each tribe came, through ceremonial poetry and songs; (2) respecting past traditions, including rituals, truths, and the words of one’s elders; and (3) expressing political criticism, even activism. Editor Kenneth Rosen writes “There may seem to be a great deal of distance between the Navajo Blessing Way chants and a contemporary poem about the confrontations at Wounded Knee, but it’s really not that far to go”.2 In fact, this curriculum unit around Native American poetry endeavors to keep pace with the ongoing experiences of native people, whose words continue to speak to the land, its mysteries, and its voice.

  • Indians, Environment, and Identity on the Borders of American Literature

    Indians, Environment, and Identity on the Borders of American Literature

    INDIANS, ENVIRONMENT, AND IDENTITY ON THE BORDERS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE Lindsey Claire Smith A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Gretchen Bataille Advisor: Trudier Harris Reader: Linda Wagner-Martin Reader: Maria DeGuzman Reader: Valerie Lambert © 2006 Lindsey Claire Smith ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Lindsey Claire Smith: INDIANS, ENVIRONMENT, AND IDENTITY ON THE BORDERS OF AMERICAN LITERATURE (Under the direction of Gretchen Bataille and Trudier Harris) This dissertation foregrounds boundary crossing among American Indians, African Americans, and Euramericans as a central feature of American literature. The authors discussed, including James Fenimore Cooper, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Leslie Marmon Silko, place this cross-cultural contact in nature, not only collapsing cultural and racial boundaries, but also complicating divisions between “wilderness” and “civilization.” Responding to contemporary theoretical approaches to race, culture, and nationhood, this dissertation points toward the multiple perspectives and cultures that distinguish American literature as well as highlights the role of geography in these critical discourses, forging a connection between ecological theory and ethnic studies. Whereas Euramerican writers demonstrate multi-racial coexistence on the frontier as idyllic yet fleeting due to national expansion, African American and Native writers reverse this model, identifying Black-Indian alliance as the source of resistance to colonization and environmental degradation. This study thereby probes the prominent roles that American Indians occupy in major American novels, not only as emblems of ecological acumen, but more important, as participants in cultural exchange that informs American identity.
  • The Spoken Art of Poetry This Semester in the Monday-Friday Prosody Workshops at the Sitting Room, We Have Been Reading Amy Lowell, E.E

    The Spoken Art of Poetry This Semester in the Monday-Friday Prosody Workshops at the Sitting Room, We Have Been Reading Amy Lowell, E.E

    SONOMA COUNTY LITERARY UPDATE March 1, 2012 The Spoken Art of Poetry This semester in the Monday-Friday prosody workshops at the Sitting Room, we have been reading Amy Lowell, e.e. cummings, Phil Levine, and Jorie Graham. I scoured the Internet for downloadable recordings of poems in the voice of each poet. Ironically, the only poet among these four who was never recorded was Amy Lowell—ironic because she was a jubilant proponent of the oral performance of poems and the musical/emotional breath in words off the page. In her essay “Poetry as a Spoken Art,” Lowell wrote, “Poetry is as much an art to be heard as is music, if we could only get people to understand the fact. To read it off the printed pages without pronouncing it is to get only a portion of its beauty. Poetry will come into its Paradise when carefully trained speakers make a business of interpreting it to the word.” Poetry Out Loud How fortunate for us in Sonoma County that we have so many readers and writers who believe in the spoken art of poetry. On Sunday, February 12, at the Glaser Center in Santa Rosa, we were treated to fourteen young performers presenting twenty-seven poems from memory as part of Sonoma County’s Poetry Out Loud annual high school competition. For those of you who weren’t there, I can assure you, the oral life of poetry is alive and well. This year’s winner was Brynna Thigpen of Maria Carrillo High School performing "The Room" by Conrad Aiken and "Childhood's Retreat," by Robert Duncan.
