Circling the Canon, Volume II

The Selected Book Reviews of Marjorie Perloff,1995-2017

By: Marjorie Perloff

One of our most important contemporary critics, Marjorie Perloff has been a widely published and influential reviewer, especially of poetry and poetics, for over fifty years. Circling the Canon, Volume II focuses on the second half of her prolific career, showcasing reviews from 1995 through her 2017 reconsiderations of Jonathan Culler’s theory of the lyric and William Empson’s classic Seven Types of Ambiguity. In this volume Perloff provides insight into the twenty-first-century literary landscape, from revaluations of its leading poets and translations of European poetry from Goethe to the Brazilian Noigandres group and interart studies and performance art. Key issues of the past few decades, such as the controversy over the role and function of poetry anthologies, receive extended treatment, and Perloff frequently voices a minority view, as in the case of the acclaimed British poet Philip Larkin.

The Anxiety Expert

A Psychiatrist's Story of Panic

By: Marjorie Raskin

Marjorie Raskin takes readers through a lifetime coping with panic attacks that seemed to come from nowhere and shows how she was able, in her fifties, to manage her problems after confronting hidden feeling about being abused as a child in both overt and subtle ways. Her symptoms were treated primarily by psychotherapy, something rarely described in other books. Marjorie believes in using medication for Panic Disorder, but feels that therapys role in helping anxious individuals resolve their underlying problems is too often dismissed, leaving them markedly dissatisfied with themselves and their lives. This book offers hope, understanding, and direction to individuals who recurrently endure attacks that make them feel about to run, scream, die, or go crazy. It also adds to the understanding of those with less severe anxiety symptoms. Many individual will identify with some of the situations Marjorie describes -bringing up two children as a single parent, working to appear confident in competitive work situations, and re-entering the singles world in her fifties, a Valium in her pocket. Marjories professional work allows her to naturally incorporate the evolving saga of psychiatrys attempts to understand and cure panic and anxiety into her own story.

Poetics in a New Key

Interviews and Essays

By: Marjorie Perloff

This collection of interviews and essays presents an entertaining and provocative introduction to the critical thought of Marjorie Perloff. The fourteen interviews conducted by accomplished scholars, poets, and critics from the United States, Denmark, Norway, France, and Poland cover many topics: poetry s nature as a literary genre, its current state, and its relation to art, politics, language, theory, and technology. The volume also features three essays by Perloff: an academic memoir, an exploration of poetry pedagogy, and an essay on the (re)constitution of the intellectuals in the 21st century. It will be an inspiring resource for both scholars and poets who care to live a life of attention, on and off the page of poetry.

American Drawings and Watercolors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

John Singer Sargent

By: Stephanie L. Herdrich,John Singer Sargent,Helene Barbara Weinberg,Marjorie Shelley,Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)

The Museum's collection illuminates all aspects of Sargent's career. The drawings and watercolors in particular reflect his activity outside the portrait studio: his sojourns in Spain, Morocco and elsewhere in North Africa, and in the Middle East; his enduring fascination with Venice; his holidays in the Italian lake district and the Alps; his tours of North America, including Florida and the Rocky Mountains; his visit as an official war artist to the western front in 1918; and his work as a muralist at the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Harvard University's Widener Library."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Boom Town

How Wal-Mart Transformed an All-American Town Into an International Community

By: Marjorie Rosen

Investigating the personal stories behind the headquarters of the Wal-Mart empire, this examination focuses on the growth of Bentonville, Arkansas--a microcosm of America's social, political, and cultural shift. Numerous personalities are interviewed, including a multimillionaire Palestinian refugee who arrived penniless and is now dedicated to building a synagogue, a Mexican mother of three who was fired after injuring herself on the job, a black executive hired to diversify Wal-Mart whose arrival coincided with a KKK rally, and a Hindu father concerned about interracial dating. In documenting these citizens' stories, this account reveals the challenges and issues facing those who compose this and other "boom towns"--where demographics, the economy, and immigration and migration patterns are continually in flux. In shedding light on these important and timely anecdotes of America's changing rural and suburban landscape, this exploration provides an entertaining and intimate chronicle of the different ethnicities, races, and religions as well as their ongoing struggles to adapt. Emerging as subtle sociology combined with drama and humanity, this overview illustrates the imperceptible and occasionally unpredictable movements that affect the nonmetropolitan environment of the United States.
