Charles Gleek deposited Read. Write. LitMag: Whiteness in the Fall 2016 issue of Brevity in the group
TM Literary and Cultural Theory on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThis paper explores the extent to which whiteness is represented in the Fall 2016 issue of Brevity. I suggest that the authors’ representation of whiteness manifests in the forms of both white privilege and white supremacy, and thus serves as the predominant theme of this issue of the magazine.

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThank you for making me familiar with A Tale for the Time Being. You made a significant point about lived time and narrated time both of which post 9/11 poetry entails. A poem like “Messages from the Sky: September 11, 2001” by Fred Moramarco, which captures a number of messages from the 9/11 victims in direct speeches, is a brilliant example of…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 10 months agoI’ve just requested from our library the anthology and the Gluck book, and look forward to reading them.

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 10 months agoI am late for technical problems in this website.
An Eye for an Eye is a historical interpretation of 9/11 that challenges mainstream media representation of the same and October is a deep meditation on the attempt to counter and assimilate traumatic experience. So I highly recommend these two works for our ongoing discussion.

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 10 months agoSorry I’m so late to reply. I am unfamiliar with the first item above, and am surprising myself not to be familiar with the Gluck book, since I keep up with most of her work. I very much like the rest of the list. At risk of getting slightly off-topic, would you agree that fiction writers have written about 9/11 and its aftermaths more and…[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, 10 months agoI’m very interested, especially as US poetry in the second half of the past century seemed concerned with the private and now, with the provocations of 9/11 and Claudia Rankine, poets are being urged to become more public.
