Brian Croxall replied to the topic Recent talk on #altac and #postac in the discussion
Connected Academics on MLA Commons 10 years, 6 months agoIn practice, Stacy, no one asked for permission to get outside jobs, and almost everyone did it at one point or another throughout grad school. That said, it’s insulting in so many different ways to think that they would attempt to police this.

I was a bit more pathetic (read, pathos) in the presentation in certain parts than I published on the blog.

Amanda L. French deposited Refrain, Again: The Return of the Villanelle in the group
Poetry on MLA Commons 10 years, 7 months agoPoets and scholars are all wrong about the villanelle. While most reference texts teach that the villanelle’s nineteen-line alternating-refrain form was codified in the Renaissance, the scholar Julie Kane has conclusively shown that Jean Passerat’s “Villanelle” (“J’ay perdu ma Tourterelle”), written in 1574 and first published in 1606, is the only…[Read more]
