LLC 20th- and 21st-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 7 months agoAfter presenting an overview of scholarship on post-9/11 American poetry, my article focuses on a group of largely neglected post-9/11 poems, which deal with spectral consciousness and hallucinatory experiences. These poems not only challenge a number of traditional binaries like, ‘presence / absence’, ‘living /dead’, ‘synchronic / diachroni…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoNo, I’m afraid that in my department (Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies) the people who keep up with contemporary lit are fiction people. Personally, I know no one who reads contemporary poetry very much, or at least who writes much about it. In fall, in my Introduction to Asian Pacific American lit class, I will assign the new book of…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoOh no. I have been, and continue to be, extremely busy with several ongoing projects, including the writing of a book proposal. I would have no time or opportunity for a collaboration for quite some time. Moreover, I sense that your knowledge of contemporary poetry greatly exceeds mine. I know several writers’ work fairly well, but don’t keep up…[Read more]

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 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]

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]
