http://www.johnkinsella.org/essays/karlwiebke.html

Extractions: Wiebke is inspired by the wonder of discovery, exploring the human's relationship to the world. It is his pleasure of text. It becomes a quest for beauty. This process is not about "cultural discourse", not about the culture industry, but about being human, about beauty, about the painting itself. In investigating the conditions of painting he is discovering the conditions of work generally. Painting is political, like poetry - and can become the art of blindfolding as much as seeing. They are meta-textual pieces. They are conscious of process but not intrusively so. He is directly in contact with his material. It is a tactile relationship. Paint is a living thing for Karl - it travels outside of frames, it works like palimpsest. We see layer on layer of surfaces moving in, through, and against each other. His work is never static and yet conveys a profound understanding of shape and volume. One falls into his surfaces, into their lateral perspective. Beyond our viewing, down by the door, is the piece marked as number one. It is entitled "Women, Reading". The suggestion of lines of connection, even participation, between the "readers" are clear, if haphazard. But such is the reading process. Beginning a text we expect to move from left to right across the page, and machine-like return the carriage of our eyes to the next point of departure a line below and so on. The Wiebke painting questions the expected, the linear notion of reading. There is something of the "found" in this. And so too with painting - the painter works against the expected by not being certain himself of an outcome. The growth of the painting is organic.

The Columbia History of American Poetry , edited by Jay Parini (1993). Contains articles on all three of the poets were are studying. Dana Gioia's essay is one of the very few contemporary essays on Longfellow to take him seriously as a poet. (more to come...when I get around to it.)

Extractions: Index Articles Reviews Conferences ... Sites Graver, Bruce E. "Kenneth R. Johnston, The Hidden Wordsworth: Poet, Lover, Rebel, Spy ." Romanticism On the Net Kenneth R. Johnston, The Hidden Wordsworth: Poet, Lover, Rebel, Spy. Bruce E. Graver The analogy between biography and portraiture is such a commonplace that we scarcely notice its metaphoric complications. "A wholly new portrait," proclaims Stephen Parrish of The Hidden Wordsworth , "fleshed out, humanized, and very compelling." "Looking at Wordsworth's earliest portraits," begins Kenneth Johnston's first sentence; his biography, he tells us, "is a portrait in words that attempts to restore the fire to Wordsworth's eyes." From its dust jacket, title page, and half-titles the heavy-lidded Wordsworth of the Edridge portrait looks out at us; even a likely spurious portrait, possibly resembling the one William Hazlitt may have destroyed, is carefully considered, speculated about, and set aside. Johnston's work, however, is far different from the portraiture we usually find in literary biographies. Most biographies resemble portraits in this respect: they focus on their subjects exclusively, reducing to shadows friends, relatives, and influential contemporaries, and barely sketching in the social milieu which they inhabited.

Extractions: Biography Cornelius Castoriadis, was a philosopher, political thinker, social critic, practicing psychoanalyst, renowned Sovietologist, and economist who cofounded the now legendary revolutionary journal and group Socialisme ou Barbarie (1948-1967). Socialisme ou Barbarie developed a radical critique of Communism based upon the idea of workers' management and exerted a great influence upon the student-worker rebellion in Paris in May 1968. Until his recent death, Castoriadis continued to write on politics, society, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the imagination from his distinctive perspective that was inspired by the "project of autonomy". Reading from Philosophy, Politics, Autonomy Let us return now to politics, and start, so as to facilitate understanding, with what is proteron pros hemas , first with respect to ourselves: the individual. In what sense can an individual be autonomous? There are two sides to this question, the internal and the external.

http://www.galegroup.com/free_resources/poets/poems/home_ex.htm

Extractions: Explanation: "Home Thoughts from Abroad" Lines 1-2 "Home-Thoughts From Abroad" opens with an urgent "Oh," which immediately suggest a state of excitement. The words "to be" seem to imply that the speaker is far away from home. Here, the speaker appears to be closing his or her eyes and remembering what England is like in the early spring. This memory quickly turns into longing for the pleasures of an English springtime. The implication appears to be that the simple memory of a specific time ("April") in a specific place ("England" / "there") holds great significance for the speaker. Back to Poem Lines 14-16 This passage gives the human quality of wisdom to yet another bird, the "thrush." This bird also sings the joys of season and homeland. However, the speaker appears to caution the "you" of this section in the poem: don't dare think the feelings associated with spring and England can never be realized, even if one is far from home. In addition, the "first fine careless rapture" of line 16 may be a reference to childhood. Remembering one's home, the speaker seems to be saying, recalls the energy and delight of one's youth.
