Download or read book The Rhetoric of Self in Robert Bly and Adrienne Rich written by Paul Wadden and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pushes beyond modern/postmodern dichotomies to show how Robert Bly and Adrienne Rich, two of America's most prominent poets, engage in a process that is both dialectic and holotropic as they continually create - through doubling - fuller and more fluid self-identity. Ultimately, their use of alter-selves to deepen their subjectivity and transform otherness expands their voice and vision, culminating late in their careers in a polyphony of self. Bridging literary scholarship and writing pedagogy, this book concludes by illustrating how the two poets' writing practices offer invigorating models and departure points for writing students in contemporary literature and composition classrooms.

Download or read book Behind the Lines written by Philip Metres and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation analyzes the ways in which American lyric poetry has articulated and authorized a new critical discourse about war, speaking for and to dissenters against U.S. involvement in the Second World War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. This study begins with the Second World War, when 50,000 American conscientious objectors engaged in nonviolent social action during internment. The "C.O. poets"--Robert Lowell, William Stafford, and William Everson -- articulate the dilemmas of direct action in a poetry marked by self-accusation and disavowal. The Vietnam War provoked a war resistance poetry that explicitly critiqued American nationalism and increasingly addressed the anti-war movement, visible in the shift in poetic address in Denise Levertov's lyric poetry. At the same time, Levertov's war poetry renders visible the perils of representing "the other." John Balaban's poetry and translations from Vietnamese, by contrast, offer an alternative war resistance narrative, communicating the complexities of witness. Finally, the debate about the ethics of postmodernity between Jean Baudrillard and Christopher Norris in the wake of the Persian Gulf War enables an analysis of the lyric in activist contexts and anthologies. June Jordan and Barrett Watten, in particular, address the new conditions of postmodern warfare, bypassing the limits of the lyric through performative and experimental poetics--Author's abstract.

Download or read book Diasporic Poetics written by Timothy Yu and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances a new concept of the "Asian diaspora" that creates links between Asian American, Asian Canadian, and Asian Australian identities. Drawing from comparable studies of the black diaspora, it traces the histories of colonialism, immigration, and exclusion shared by these three populations. The work of Asian poets in each of these three countries offers a rich terrain for understanding how Asian identities emerge at the intersection of national and transnational flows, with the poets' thematic and formal choices reflecting the varied pressures of social and cultural histories, as well as the influence of Asian writers in other national locations. Diasporic Poetics argues that racialized and nationally bounded "Asian" identities often emerge from transnational political solidarities, from "Third World" struggles against colonialism to the global influence of the American civil rights movement. Indeed, this volume shows that Asian writers disclaim national belonging as often as they claim it, placing Asian diasporic writers at a critical distance from the national spaces within which they write. As the first full-length study to compare Asian American, Asian Canadian, and Asian Australian writers, the book offers the historical and cultural contexts necessary to understand the distinctive development of Asian writing in each country, while also offering close analysis of the work of writers such as Janice Mirikitani, Fred Wah, Ouyang Yu, Myung Mi Kim, and Cathy Park Hong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is a nation making itself up as it goes alongÑa story of discovery and invention unfolding in speeches and images, letters and poetry, unprecedented feats of scholarship and imagination. In these myriad, multiform, endlessly changing expressions of the American experience, the authors and editors of this volume find a new American history. In more than two hundred original essays, A New Literary History of America brings together the nationÕs many voices. From the first conception of a New World in the sixteenth century to the latest re-envisioning of that world in cartoons, television, science fiction, and hip hop, the book gives us a new, kaleidoscopic view of what ÒMade in AmericaÓ means. Literature, music, film, art, history, science, philosophy, political rhetoricÑcultural creations of every kind appear in relation to each other, and to the time and place that give them shape. The meeting of minds is extraordinary as T. J. Clark writes on Jackson Pollock, Paul Muldoon on Carl Sandburg, Camille Paglia on Tennessee Williams, Sarah Vowell on Grant WoodÕs American Gothic, Walter Mosley on hard-boiled detective fiction, Jonathan Lethem on Thomas Edison, Gerald Early on Tarzan, Bharati Mukherjee on The Scarlet Letter, Gish Jen on Catcher in the Rye, and Ishmael Reed on Huckleberry Finn. From Anne Bradstreet and John Winthrop to Philip Roth and Toni Morrison, from Alexander Graham Bell and Stephen Foster to Alcoholics Anonymous, Life, Chuck Berry, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ronald Reagan, this is America singing, celebrating itself, and becoming something altogether different, plural, singular, new.
