    Steven Schroeder deposited in the path of totality in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 3 weeks ago

    The forty poems in this collection have percolated through more than forty years of meditation on “city” that began when I was an undergraduate studying with Richard Luecke at Valparaiso University. The title, In the Path of Totality, references a phrase made familiar by media coverage leading up to the total solar eclipse that was visible acr…[Read more]

    Steven Schroeder deposited fallen prose in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 3 weeks, 1 day ago

    China is the occasion, not the subject or the object, of the forty-seven poems collected in Steven Schroeder’s Fallen Prose – lyrical glimpses of the “new” city in Southern light. Most of the poems in the collection are set in Shenzhen, a few in Zhuhai, Macao, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong – and one or two a bit further west, in Kunming. All attend…[Read more]

    Steven Schroeder deposited the imperfection of the eye in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 3 weeks, 1 day ago

    There is an all at once quality to lyric poetry that makes it akin to mysticism. It knows there is more to vision than meets the eye. It takes the whole world in while knowing the whole of it is always known imperfectly, always here, always now. The here and now of the seventy-one poems in Steven Schroeder’s new collection is most often Chicago,…[Read more]

    In the spirit of the old Shaker hymn, the poems in Steven Schroeder’s new collection turn and turn – from a question Laozi raises to Woody Guthrie’s holy ground, from Chicago to Texas to Shenzhen to Macao, in conversation with poets and philosophers from Euclid and Thoreau to Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Gertrude Stein, Buddy Holly, Lyle Lovet…[Read more]

    Samuel Baker deposited “The Forsaken Merman,” “The Little Mermaid,” and early modernism: Undersea imagery for the dissociation and dissolution of culture in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 1 year, 5 months ago

    This essay shows how marine imagery mediates thought about culture, by exploring a series of imagined submarine visions across an intertextual network that extends from Matthew Arnold’s poem “The Forsaken Merman” back to Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Little Mermaid,” across the Atlantic to William James’s writings, and thence to ess…[Read more]

    Thomas Mazanec deposited Of Admonition and Address: Right-Hand Inscriptions (Zuoyouming) from Cui Yuan to Guanxiu in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 1 year, 7 months ago

    This essay traces the development of the right-hand inscription (zuoyouming 座右銘) from its birth in the second century CE through its culmination as a complex literary subgenre in the tenth. Over the course of these eight centuries, right-hand inscriptions were used by some of the most prominent poets of their respective eras, including Cui Yuan…[Read more]

    James Mulholland deposited The Past and Future of Historical Poetics: Poetry and Empire in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 1 year, 7 months ago

    This essay suggests that with the increasing prominence of “historical poetics” as a set of social collectives, methodologies, and debates (especially about literary analysis), now seems to be an ideal time to assess its history and consider its future. The first part of the essay offers a genealogy of historical poetics, accounting for some of…[Read more]

    Brian Gregory Caraher deposited Tragedy, Euripides, Melodrama: Hamartia, Medea, Liminality in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 1 year, 11 months ago

    This article examines socio-historical dimensions and cultural and dramaturgic implications of the Greek playwright Euripides’ treatment of the myth of Medea. Euripides gives voice to victims of adventurism, aggression and betrayal in the name of ‘reason’ and the ‘state’ or ‘polity.’ Medea constitutes one of the most powerful mythic forces to…[Read more]

    Comparative analyses of poetry by the German Sarah Kirsch, the Emirati Ahmed Rashid Thani, and the St Lucian Derek Walcott identify three distinct ecopoetic elements their work has in common. The three poets, born before the origin of ecocriticism, favour metaphors that represent natural landscapes. These metaphors express a certain…[Read more]

    Gerard Holmes deposited “‘The Bird / Who Sings the Same, Unheard, / As Unto Crowd —’: Dickinson, Birdsong, and the Business of Improvisation” in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 2 years ago

    Birds are everywhere in nineteenth-century American literature, including the work of Emily Dickinson. Women poets often referred to their poems in terms of making songs. This essay rethinks the birds in Dickinson’s letters and poems. It suggests that Dickinson’s birds, and their songs, show her awareness of business. They exist within com…[Read more]

    Zélia Catarina Pedro Rafael deposited “Wild Nights”: Death and Humor in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson in the group Group logo of GS Poetry and PoeticsGS Poetry and Poetics on MLA Commons 2 years, 2 months ago

    Emily Dickinson’s unique style of poetic composition is marked by ambiguity and open-endedness, leading to the genesis of a privileged space wherein reader and writer are able to meet as co-creators of meaning. As a poet, Dickinson addresses many themes in ways that are subject to countless layers of interpretation. This essay focuses p…[Read more]
