While a face-lift is alas beyond the hope of its editor, the beauty of the Society’s website, designed as it is maintained so scrupulously by James Robinson, had begun to feel like the gentlest kind of reproach to the journal it hosts. At any rate, it offered an opportunity for the Journal to scrub up too, and our membership secretary David Troupes has risen magnificently to this benign challenge. I hope you like the look of it, and that the new clean lines of the journal’s design and font – Merryweather, however appropriate that feels for the poet of ‘Wind’ and ‘Bringing in New Couples’ and ‘Stump Pool in April’ – make the experience of reading its contents even more satisfying. The contents themselves represent the first fruits of an outstandingly successful inaugural colloquium hosted in June 2017 by the Ted Hughes Network at the University of Huddersfield on the theme of Ted Hughes and Place. The next issue will contain a selection of the many excellent presentations an international gathering heard over two full days, and will be guest-edited by James Underwood. But the current issue contains the plenary lectures that book-ended those long mid- summer days, revised for publication by the speakers and are presented here, along with versions of the papers given by the colloquium’s hosts, Steve Ely and James himself. Between them, these contributions do respond to the theme, sometimes literally – Cambridge, Ireland and East Yorkshire are among the precincts revisited here – sometimes from different kinds of heights. Shamanic healing in Hughes’s work, inflected and informed by his environmental consciousness, might to the uninitiated seem a long way from the importance, hitherto largely overlooked, of D. H. Lawrence for Hughes, but all kinds of connections between these two discursive and imaginative terrains are opened up by Terry Gifford and Neil Roberts. Heather Clark’s fascinating account of Hughes and Plath in Cambridge, informed by the publication this autumn of the first volume of Plath’s Collected Letters, which she also reviews in this issue, also marks an important step into the wealth of new material those letters reveal about their creative partnership, and represents an important instalment in her new biography of Plath, which is nearing completion. And Ireland and Irishness features in at least three of these presentations, most 4 extensively my own, which I am grateful to Terry Gifford for editing. When six Hughes scholars, two doctoral students among them, presented papers in November 2017 at the Plath conference at the University of Ulster in Belfast, and extended invitations to Plath scholars to return the compliment by joining us at the next international Hughes conference, Poetry in the Making, to be hosted at Gregynog Hall in Powys in August 2018 by Carrie Smith and the University of Cardiff, it felt both like the consolidation of an Irish bridgehead, and the opening of a new and more positive chapter in relations between communities of scholars too often separated by perceptions of contested literary history. All Hughes readers are hawk-eyed, of course, so will not need me to tell you that the list of abbreviations of texts likely to feature in contributions to this journal has just grown a little longer, to reflect this confidence. Finally, it was in the hope that scholarship of high quality will reach the wider readership it deserves, and that the excellent progress towards enlargement of the membership of the Ted Hughes Society over recent months will continue, that at a meeting of its Council in Huddersfield in June the last of this issue’s innovations was decided. This is the moment at which the Journal steps from behind its firewall and into open access, catching up with the realities of academic expectations and a number of recent precedents. Members of the Council, as well as the Journal’s editor, trust that the Journal’s readers will help us spread the word.

Steinberg and Karen Kukil (London: Faber & Faber, 2017) 6 Hughes’s Notion of Shamanic Healing Terry Gifford In January of last year an obituary in The Guardian caught my eye. The painter Derek Hyatt was said by his obituarist, the art historian Tim Barringer, to have ‘collaborated […] with the poet Ted Hughes, whose work he greatly admired’.1 Derek Hyatt’s name appears in Sagar and Tabor’s Ted Hughes: A Bibliography in entry A47 since, as a lecturer at Leeds Polytechnic, he and his students made broadsides for Hughes poems exhibited at the 1975 Ilkley Literature Festival. Hyatt’s triptych etching for ‘Wodwo’ included the complete text of the poem. But five years earlier Hyatt had made an oil painting given the title of the poem ‘Wodwo’; this is reproduced in Derek Hyatt and Peter Woodcock’s 2001 book Stone Fires-Liquid Clouds: The Shamanic Art of Derek Hyatt which was the result of three years of correspondence and interviews with Hyatt.2 However, at an exhibition of Hyatt’s work at the Art Space Gallery in London last year I talked to his daughter, Sally Gallagher, to discover that she had found no correspondence from Hughes in her father’s papers, and in the exhibition catalogue essay Tim Barringer this time makes no mention of Hughes. Intriguingly, Stone Fires-Liquid Clouds includes an essay by Hyatt titled, ‘Wodwo, Ted Hughes and The Wounded Healer’ about Hyatt’s reading of Hughes as an inspirational shamanic artist. Hyatt writes: ‘It’s a pity that we can’t hold our poets in greater respect for the dangers they go through to make deep poetry’.3 But he makes no argument for his title and it is left to Woodcock to explain it in his introductory remarks: ‘In Hyatt’s view, Hughes was a wounded healer, a poet of intense power and shamanic qualities whose recognition was overshadowed by the suicide of his first wife, the poet Sylvia Plath’.4 In his book The Ethnopoetics of Shamanism (2014), the Brazilian literary scholar Marcel de Lima offers the following definition of the shaman: 1 https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/dec/13/derek-hyatt

A Coruña RESUMEN Como seres mitológicos elementales de la naturaleza, guardianes de los bosques y de todos los seres vivos que habitan en ellos, los duendes forman parte de la raza elemental feérica, y junto con elfos, trols y hadas, son los seres más populares de las mitologías celta y nórdica. Según la mitología celta, el rey de los duendes y elfos responde al nombre de Oberón, mencionado en obras como Macbeth o Sueño de una noche de San Juan de William Shakespeare. Posteriormente, estas leyendas son igualmente mencionadas en el Fausto de Goethe, donde un coro de silfos invocado por Mefistófeles trata de seducir al doctor Fausto, o en cuentos tradicionales infantiles como los escritos por los hermanos Grimm, donde la figura del duende suele asociarse a pequeños seres bonachones. Herederos de esa tradición literaria son muchos de los cuentos contemporáneos del peninsular español. Palabras clave: duende, céltica, península ibérica, literatura comparada. ABSTRACT As a basic mythological element in our nature, guardians of forests and all living things that inhabit them, fairies are part of the elemental fairy race, and along with elves, and trolls, are the most popular creatures in Celtic and Norse mythologies. According to Celtic mythology, the king of fairies and elves is named Oberon, mentioned in works such as Macbeth or Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. These legends are also mentioned in Goethe's 61 MANUEL COUSILLAS RODRÍGUEZ REVISTA GAROZA Nº 10.

For more information contact [email protected] Images of Self: A Study of Feminine and Feminist Subjectivity in the Poetry of Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, Margaret Atwood and Adrienne Rich, 1950-1980. A thesis supervised by Dr. Isobel Grundy and submitted at Queen Mary and Westfield College, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph. D. by Philippa Susan Little June 1990. The thesis explores the poetry (and some prose) of Plath, Sexton, Atwood and Rich in terms of the changing constructions of self-image predicated upon the female role between approx. 1950-1980.1 am particularly concerned with the question of how the discourses of femininity and feminism contribute to the scope of the images of the self which are presented. The period was chosen because it involved significant upheaval and change in terms of women's role and gender identity. The four poets' work spans this period of change and appears to some extent generally characteristic of its social, political and cultural contexts in America, Britain and Canada.

  • Blake Morrison in the Contemporary Theatrical Scene
    58 BLAKE MORRISON IN THE CONTEMPORARY THEATRICAL SCENE Valter Henrique de Castro Fritsch Universidade Federal do Rio Grande ABSTRACT: This article discusses issues related to the various aesthetics that compose contemporary British dramaturgy. I point to features that divide the way theatre is viewed today in at least two aesthetic strands - one allied with more traditional patterns of writing for the theatre that derives from the Aristotelian model, and another that aims to cause a break with dramatic action, characters and all that constitutes the most classic view of dramatic text. This article also aims to place the poet and playwright Blake Morrison in the panorama of contemporary British theatre and show how the author fits into the many varying aspects of contemporary dramaturgy. KEYWORDS: Contemporary British Theatre; Blake Morrison; Imagery Studies; Contemporary Dramaturgy RESUMO: O presente artigo discute questões relacionadas às diferentes estéticas que compõe a dramaturgia contemporânea britânica. Aponto características que dividem a forma como o teatro é encarado hoje em pelo menos duas vertentes estéticas – uma aliada a padrões mais tradicionais da escrita para o teatro que deriva do modelo Aristotélico e outra que visa causar uma ruptura com a ação dramática, personagens e tudo que constitui a visão mais clássica de texto dramático. Ainda é do interesse deste artigo localizar o poeta e dramaturgo Blake Morrison no panorama do teatro britânico contemporâneo e de que forma o autor se enquadra em vertentes tão distintas da dramaturgia contemporânea. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Teatro Britânico Contemporâneo; Blake Morrison; Estudos do Imaginário; Dramaturgia Contemporânea I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage.

  • Reviving the Journals of Sylvia Plath
    Plath Profiles 15 Reviving the Journals of Sylvia Plath Karen Kukil, Smith College Editor's note: The following essay was excerpted from talks given in 2000 by Karen Kukil at the International Writers' Day program of English PEN in London, as well as at Williams College, Emory University, Smith College, Boston Public Library, and New York Public Library. Quotations are from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, 1950-1962 (New York: Anchor Books, 2000), by permission of Random House, Inc. Page numbers appear in parentheses following quotations. The essay is appeared in a slightly different version in the Smith Alumnae Quarterly (Spring 2001) and it reprinted with their permission. On February 13, 1921, Virginia Woolf wrote Katherine Mansfield: "It seems to me very important that women should learn to write" (128). I would add: It is also important that women should learn to speak. Nearly forty years after her death, Sylvia Plath, one of the most interpreted poets of the past century, is finally being allowed to speak for herself, in her own voice. The unabridged edition of her journals, which I have just edited for the Hughes family, is as faithful as possible to the original manuscripts at Smith College. As an editor, I did not tidy up Plath's words or make her behave. She is a real human being, as feisty and fresh and alive to the reader in the published journals as she is when one has the luxury to read her original manuscripts in the Mortimer Rare Book Room. By giving the world direct access to her exact words, a reassessment of Plath will undoubtedly take place.

A Parliament of Novels : the Politics of Scottish Fiction 1979-1999 David LEISHMAN Université de Grenoble 3 The Scottish literary scene enjoyed so great a resurgence at the end of the 20th century that the period has sometimes been termed the second Scottish renaissance.1 After a period of relative moroseness, initially exacerbated by the 1979 referendum result,2 Scottish fiction found a new vitality which can be charted by a number of factors: the strong growth in the number of new novels published;3 the linguistic, narratological and typographic experimentation of authors such as Alasdair Gray, James Kelman or Janice Galloway; the increased critical interest in Scottish letters; the commercial success of authors such as Ian Rankin or Irvine Welsh, who, despite their international popularity, remain distinctively Scottish in terms of orientation or voice.

  • 2019 27Th Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
    2019 27th Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog Poets House | 10 River Terrace | New York, NY 10282 | poetshouse.org ELCOME to the 2019 Poets House Showcase, our annual, all-inclusive exhibition of the most recent poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artists’ books, and multimedia works published in the United States and W abroad. This year marks the 27th anniversary of the Poets House Showcase and features over 3,300 books from more than 800 different presses and publishers. For 27 years, the Showcase has helped to keep our collection current and relevant, building one of the most extensive collections of poetry in our nation—an expansive record of the poetry of our time, freely available and open to all. Building the Exhibit and the Poets House Library Collection Every year, Poets House invites poets and publishers to participate in the annual Showcase by donating copies of poetry titles released since January of the previous year. This year’s exhibit highlights poetry titles published in 2018 and the first part of 2019. Books have been contributed by the entire poetry community, from the publishers who send on their titles as they’re released, to the poets who mail us signed copies of their newest books, to library visitors donating books when they visit us. Every newly published book is welcomed, appreciated, and featured in the Showcase. The Poets House Showcase is the mechanism through which we build our library: a comprehensive, inclusive collection of over 70,000 poetry works, all free and open to the public. To make it as extensive as possible, we reach out to as many poetry communities and producers as we can, bringing together poetic voices of all kinds to meet the different needs and interests of our many library patrons.
