Dear Maureen,
Glad to see Irish Studies move into Europe as there is sometimes a
nationalist trend. Look forward to the program.
1:00 pm in NYC? If not a convenient time, will it be recorded?
Best,

Yes– the other Patricia–the the spirit of the object and the word held “captive” until released or animated by chance, as with surrealists and writers.

Patricia Laurence replied to the topic spring semester: surrealisms… in the forum
Poets Together! 2 years, 1 month ago
Thank you for the Rukeyser poem. I’m interested in surrealism as a stream of historical transformations. The relationship between surrealism and the Gothic that Breton sketched early on; and surrealism and the Celtic belief about which Proust writes in Swann’s Way. “The souls of thousands whom we have lost are held captive [in a plant, stone…[Read more]

So saying, her rash hand in evil hour
Forth reaching to the Fruit, she pluck’d, she eat:
Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat
Sighing through all her Works gave signs of woe,
That all was lost.

Read Polizotti: some translators (I can’t find it in Jerome), 17c. European dramatists (who wrote in Latin and influenced Milton) consciously read and used the word “mala/malum” for “apple/evil” as a pun, liking the associative meanings, as Polizotti claims. But Milton pointedly with no scriptural foundation only allows the description “apple” …[Read more]

Patricia Laurence replied to the topic a phrase in the forum
Poets Together! 2 years, 4 months ago
Yes, MA, phrases that cling. And images too. Thinking of Chris’ introduction of Saidya Hartman and how she said in another place that an image can stand in for a lost archive (on the history of slave women) lighting up darkness. Reminds me of my Slovak grandmother arriving on Ellis Island, her silences and the lost story of her life. Images of…[Read more]

Thanks to Josh for juxtaposing Dorothy and Wordsworth, and the other
Patricia for sparking the issue with her thoughts and wonderful poem (“she
breathed her own ethers into his words”). Male imaginings, voicing or
appropriation of women’s perceptions, writing, and womanhood have
preoccupied critics since –if not before–Woolf described women as…[Read more] -

Random thoughts.
Intrigued last week by seeing Monet’s mystical Gare St. Lazare, the Semaphores, and the signs in it that do and don’t signify: the elusive, blank, round railroad signs; the fog of impressionism; the sound of a train in the scene. I think of how the signs–visual images (do we see the back or the front?)–are blank, open, any…[Read more]
