Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoYou are indeed right to point out the illegitimacy of categorising 9/11 poems into ‘early’ and ‘late’. In making such distinction I was partly guided by Introduction to Literature After 9/11 by Ann Keniston and Jeanne Quinn, which makes a distinction between ‘earliest’ and ‘later’ 9/11 poems. But now I understand that such distinction is not quite…[Read more]

LLC 20th- and 21st-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoNoticeably absent from much of the criticism on F.

Ross Tangedal deposited Designed to Amuse: Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring and Intertextual Comedy in the group
LLC 20th- and 21st-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoEasily the least-mentioned (and read) of Ernest Hemingway’s works (proven by its lack of critical attention), The Torrents of Spring merits rereading for its intertextual play. Hemingway’s use of embedded author’s notes throughout the text guides readers to a more fully aware young writer who offers critiques of composition, authorship, pri…[Read more]

John Edward Streamas replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoI think the proposal is impressive, though I am concerned about the scale of the period covered. Is it possible to speak of “early” and “late” reactions to an event that happened less than sixteen years ago? I see that the anthology was published in 2002, the year following 9/11. I had a poem in the Poets Against War website in 2003, and looking…[Read more]
