Abstract:

Published after a successful stage history, the text of Bryden MacDonald’s Whale Riding Weather allows readers to examine this writerly play in more detail. In production, the emotion that underlies every speech by the interdependent characters carries audiences. In print, this highly charged dialogue takes on a poetic resonance, and even a poetic form. Passages of dialogue such as “Well. / Well this. This is. / Well this is wonderful” (93), or “Nova Scotia. / I stumbled off the train in Nova Scotia. / Obviously / this was around the time when they drove the last spike” (101) sit on the page l

Abstract:

ABSTRACT: The rose motif in Rainer Maria Rilke’s poetry has been analyzed as a variable signifier through metaphorical, existential-philosophical, phenomenological, and even biographical approaches. However, many of these readings miss its self- referential nature. By contrast, based on Manfred Engel’s interpretive framework, deconstructive approaches, and working from two “thing-poems,” this article suggests that the rose can be read as an allegory for Rilke’s poetic text itself, and is an example of a figure to be found in his poetics of figure. Meanwhile, the rose is identified as an import

The article provides a broad overview of the poetry produced in Italian-speaking Switzerland over the past twenty years. The first part presents three channels of poetry dissemination (journals, editorial projects, and literary festivals) both within and outside the Swiss-Italian territory. The second part reflects on some critical readings of Swiss-Italian poetry and addresses the reasons why some forms of poetic writing have appeared later or to a lesser degree within the Swiss territory than they have in Italy, despite the two countries’ proximity. From this analysis, it is argued that the

Abstract:

This essay compares the poetic and political theories of contemporary philosopher Giorgio Agamben with the poetry of Wallace Stevens in order to outline a dynamic of ‘inoperativity’ that foregrounds the intimate relationship between language, form and an existential expression of possibility. Through a reading of Stevens’s prose essays and poetry, I demonstrate how Agamben’s reconceptualization of potentiality as a power kept in a non-relational relationship towards its formal realization can be mapped onto the self-conscious articulations of Stevens’s poetic speakers who employ poetic tropes

Al-Maghout is considered one of the most prominent poets who used prose poetry to express reality. In his poems, the poet's presence came as an artistic entity through which the poet presents what he feels about his environment, especially since he cares about this environment, the issues of society he lives in and suffers from. The study is divided into two parts: one of them is external, represented in tangible realistic data such as the wind, flowers, the ship, and the silkworm, which reflected the poet’s transformations through them and his occupation of himself.

Abstract This article examines the figure of Lyde in Horace's Odes 2.11. She is one of the less-studied courtesans often found in Horatian sympotic and erotic poems. In the last thirty years, scholarship has emphasised how Horace's own male gaze and desire shape these female figures and turn them into objects of his own poetic agency. As such, they can be considered on par with Horace's poetic materia. In this article, I argue that the variant readings of the last stanza of Odes 2.11 add to Horace's characterisation of Lyde as geographically, poetically, and aesthetically elusive. I suggest, i

The second direction deals with the influence of Petőfi and reveals how the Hungarian national memory policy conjured him up as a historical figure. The third direction explores the poet's biograp

Though George Berkeley's name appears in a number of studies of British Romantic poetry, sustained readings of his influence on poets of the period are scarce.

In nineteenth- and twentieth-century poetries of attention, the ego becomes an organ responding to experience, turning the creative self into an attentive mind that opens itself unto the world.

Abstract:

Robert Frost's poems are well known for their abundant ambiguity, which acts as a powerful literary tool influencing various meanings. This qualitative study explores the complex and dual reading phenomenon in the context of Frost’s poetry. It highlights as how ambiguity plays its crucial role in comprehending poetic compositions of Frost. This research delves deeply into poems such as "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" in order to identify recurring themes and symbols that lend themselves to a variety of readings. The study examines the theory of ambiguity by Will

Abstract:

Abstract This article explores Yehuda Amichai’s reflection on the meaning of language and demonstrates how his early poetry navigates between different views on the concept of ‘mother tongue.’ Building on Jacques Derrida’s seminal essay Monolingualism of the Other, it proposes a new hermeneutic frame for interpreting Amichai’s early poetry – particularly the poems collected in Shirim 1948–1962 – through the prism of monolingualism. In order to examine Amichai’s version of Derridean monolingualism, the article offers close readings of his paradigmatic poems, such as “Be-yalduti” (“When I Was a

Abstract This article argues for the importance of the friendship between Elizabeth Bishop and James Merrill when it came to each poet’s ongoing professional development, especially during the 1970s, when their friendship was at its height. The article contends that not only was Bishop instrumental in Merrill’s poetic development, as has already been well-established, but that Merrill was equally influential to Bishop in her last decade, a point that has yet to be made. Through a reading of their correspondence across three decades, in addition to readings of several of their travel poems, the

Abstract:

Recent trends in Song of Songs scholarship have questioned the obviousness of the so-called literal readings of the poem. This article contributes to that debate by returning to the poem's foodstuffs. Exploiting the idea of critical excrementality (Probyn, Châtelet, Kristeva), this study explores the way the ‘romantic’ Song of Songs tacitly relies on a politics of atrophy and excrementa. It argues that D.H. Lawrence anticipates the idea of an abject Song of Songs in his collection Birds, Beasts and Flowers. There, Lawrence exposes the unsettling preconditions of so-called romantic reading itse

Abstract:

The so-called “Rhyming Weavers” were artisan poets, mainly writing in the 18th and 19th centuries. John Hewitt’s Rhyming Weavers & Other Country Poets of Antrim and Down (1974) has played a crucial role in defining this group of writers, both in terms of who they were – Ulster-Scots poets of a particular region in the North of Ireland – and with respect to their achievement. This paper addresses the modernity of the Weaver poets, countering a tendency to see their work as merely nostalgic or belated manifestations of pre-modernist belonging and harmony.

This article charts competing readings of the “Appendix Vergiliana” by Julius Caesar Scaliger and Joseph Justus Scaliger. Pseudo-Virgilian poems played a key role in J. C. Scaliger's “Poetices Libri Septem” (1561), providing a model of self-quotation and self-emulation for young poets to imitate. In a groundbreaking edition, J. J. Scaliger then discovers a neoteric, Catullan side to Virgil. Their influent

Upon the centennial of The Waste Land, I argue that its opening and closing allusions to Christian liturgical practice in “The Burial of the Dead” and “What the Thunder Said” offer a poetic defense against deconstructionism’s literary nihilism, a defense that justifies its place in the next century.

Résumé A linguistic and genetic study of La servante au grand cœur… (in Les Fleurs du Mal) shows that Baudelaire endeavoured to attribute a complex network of emotive and/or hallucinatory mental states to the poetic self by resorting to a rich inventory of formal and expressive devices: syntax and its interface with meter; the deontic and evidential readings of the modal verb devoir; pragmatic connectives (pourtant, certes); evaluative items (the verb trouver, the adverb bien, the preposition à introducing an infinitival clause); the intertextual dimension of the poetic lexicon; contrasts betw

Abstract Contrary to the expectations aroused by the title, the point of departure in this essay is a desire to amend the perception of Lucian Blaga as the representative of a conservative school of thought and poetics, who designed a broad canvas of metaphysical speculations embedded in an architecture of unfailing systematicity and patterned symmetries reminiscent of the totalitarian ambitions of all-embraciung structures such as Dante’s Divine Comedy or Milton’s Paradise Lost. His philosophical system—one of the last—is not, however, a “monument to dead ideas” like Milton’s theodicy, but th

In his analysis of the social and economic conditions of intellectual activity in ancient Greece, Gentili argues that the value of poetry underwent a notable change in the late archaic period. Poetry came to be produced within a contractual relationship between patrons and poets, it became a commercial good available to the one who could pay for it and its value was expressed no longer by honouring the poet but by paying for his product. At the time of Solon and Theognis the producers of poetry had been aristocratic members of the polis giving political advice to their peers and gaining renown

Abstract:

This paper advances two readings of the poem “Hunting and Gathering” by Robin Myers: one argues that the text is queer and the other claims that what is queer is a specific interpretation of it. In the first section, I propose that the piece’s formal characteristics—quantity rhythm, sound repetition, and proportion—engage the concept of ‘queerness’ broadly understood as a critique of and a deviation from ingrained normative standards. I also assert that the piece’s thematic features—motifs, narrative devices, and tropologies—concern the acceptation of ‘queerness’ in its close-knit relationship
