Mourning Lions And Penelope’S Revenge, Corinne Pache
Mourning Lions And Penelope’S Revenge, Corinne Pache
Corinne Pache
This paper focuses on the simile comparing Penelope to a lion encircled by men in Odyssey 4.791–94. Lion similes in Homeric poetry typically depict warriors in combat situations and so the description of Penelope as a trapped predator facing battle is surprising. The encircled beast of the simile is in a dangerous situation, but the lion’s plight is left unresolved as Penelope falls asleep. Many critics note the connection between Penelope the lion and Odysseus, who is compared to the same animal on five occasions in the poem, most notably in Books 22 and 23 after he slaughters the suitors. …

Scrapping Modernism: Marianne Moore And The Making Of The Modern Collage Poem, Bartholomew Brinkman
Scrapping Modernism: Marianne Moore And The Making Of The Modern Collage Poem, Bartholomew Brinkman
Bartholomew Brinkman
The scrapbook was an important vehicle for the chronicling of personal history and the negotiation of identity in a culture of mass print, frequently modeling other modern cultural and literary forms. This essay argues that Marianne Moore's early scrapbooks informed both the subject matter and the form of her developing collage poetry in their material display of juxtaposition, assemblage, pasting-over, anchoring, and enjambment. In doing so, it challenges the common critical notion that the collage poem was an exclusive extension of the visual avantgarde, pointing to a popular scrapbooking tradition as basis for poetic collage.
Movies, Modernity, And All That Jazz: Langston Hughes's Montage Of A Dream Deferred, Bartholomew Brinkman
Movies, Modernity, And All That Jazz: Langston Hughes's Montage Of A Dream Deferred, Bartholomew Brinkman
Bartholomew Brinkman
Presents literary criticism for the poem sequence "Montage of a Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes. Primary focus is given to depictions of jazz music, particularly bebop, as an essentially African American musical form within the sequence as well as Hughes' thoughts on movies. The anti-capitalist nature of the work is explained based on Hughes' critique of exclusionary U.S. mass culture.
Making Modern Poetry: Format, Genre And The Invention Of Imagism(E), Bartholomew Brinkman
Making Modern Poetry: Format, Genre And The Invention Of Imagism(E), Bartholomew Brinkman
Bartholomew Brinkman
Although much attention has recently been given to modern little magazines, critics largely have failed to consider how the bibliographical elements of these magazines were instrumental in their production and dissemination of poetic modernism. Focusing on Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, this article argues for the importance of these elements, showing how format leads to form. It contends that Poetry extended the poetic presentation already at work in middlebrow mass circulation magazines, turning the poem into an aesthetic object for contemplation isolated on the page and framed by a border of white space. Subsequently this promoted a consolidation of genre …
