Stephen A. Ross deposited The Secret Agency of Dispossession in the group

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]

Joydeep Chakraborty replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
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]

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned is an examination of Gloria Patch and her role in Fitzgerald’s treatment of war. Fitzgerald offers a fascinating and timely portrait of a young wife dealing with war and remembrance from multiple perspectives, spanning from her Midwestern roots to her a…[Read more]
