Sounds like the Anthropocene
Alice Oswald’s two books of Homeric verse, Memorial and Nobody, excavate the Iliad and the Odyssey, respectively, for sounds other than those man-glorifying songs of war and adventure made classical by literary tradition. They stress what Oswald calls the fluid, fleeting "livingness" of oral poetry that literary culture arguably deadens in its efforts to standardise and monumentalise Homer' s heroic narrative. To adjust the poetic balance between…
The enduring afterlife of Before Tomorrow
This essay investigates how the filmmakers of Igloolik-based women's collective Arnait Video Productions invent and combine various techniques and strategies of spectrality and survivance to create a powerful, cinematic form of Inuit cultural resistance and resilience. I borrow the concept of "survivance" from Anishnaabe literary theorist Gerald Vizenor who uses it to explain how Aboriginal literary and linguistic traditions continue to flourish …
Shaping an Ear for Climate Change
How does contemporary music cultivate ecological thinking and climate-change awareness in our era of global warming? This essay investigates how the music of Pulitzer Prize-winning Alaskan composer John Luther Adams incites ecological listening and shapes an ear for climate change. It examines Adams's evolving signature style of composing and/or performing with climatic elements and natural forces, and it further examines how this style effective…
Juliana Spahr’s Ecopoetics
Juliana Spahr’s Ecopoetics:Ecologies and Politics of the Refrain Dianne Chisholm (bio) One of the compelling new developments in writing that Juliana Spahr has been advancing “after Language poetry” is ecopoetics.1 Spahr’s poetry collection Well Then There Now (2011) and poem series This Connection of Everyone With Lungs (2005) deploy an innovative poetics to frame into view varying and emerging crises of ecological illogic. The framework of Spah…
On the house that ecopoetics builds
In a note to ‘Things of Each Possible Relation Hashing Against One Another’ (2003), Juliana Spahr explains her antipathy to nature poetry and how she discovered the alternative ‘tradition of ecopoetics’. My essay ‘Juliana Spahr's “Ecopoetics”’ argues that Spahr has been writing in this tradition ever since, though the substantial innovations that she brings to this tradition are largely unexamined. I investigate Spahr's radical reinvention of the…
Climbing like a Girl
This essay uses the phenomenal advent of women's climbing as a paradigm case for integrating feminism and phenomenology, and for analyzing how women experience and evolve free movement and existence. In contrast to the paradigm set by Iris Marion Young's “Throwing like a Girl,” it stresses the category of the lived body over the category of gender, and it reveals how women, by employing and cultivating the body's motility and spatiality, engage a…

Kathy Acker's Grave Songs and Visceral Insights
A Queer Return to Walter Benjamin
I was most lastinglyaffected bya reckless attempt that myfather embarked upon one evening to bring even the family's amusements into the harmony with his business enterprises that he had been able to establish for all its other needs. For when, about 1910, on Lutherstrasse in the West End, a consortium erected a building (the one that now houses the Scala) as an myfather, with a sizable stake, was among their number. Now, one evening—I don't know…

Obscene Modernism
Heterosexual Plots and Lesbian Narratives
What is lesbian literature? Must it contain overtly lesbian characters, and portray them in a positive light? Must the author be overtly (or covertly) lesbian? Does there have to be a lesbian theme and must it be politically acceptable? Marilyn Farwell here examines the work of such writers as Adrienne Rich, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Jeanette Winterson, Gloria Naylor, and Marilyn Hacker to address these questions. Dividing their writings into two ge…
