Ecstasy inventories: The poetry of R. F. Langley

The poet and literary scholar Nigel Wheale recalls with appreciation and affection the intellectual and artistic influence and friendship of his former teacher R. F. (Roger) Langley. Nigel outlines Langley’s background and education and recounts the friendship between Langley and his Cambridge University contemporary, the poet, teacher and critic, J. H. Prynne. Nigel then recalls his experience of Langley as the teacher who not only prepared him to successfully take Cambridge University Scholarship examinations but also became a close and much valued friend. Nigel was eventually able to extend his support to Langley by establishing the small press Infernal Methods, which published Langley’s first three books: Hem (1978), Sidelong (1981) and Twelve Poems (1994), before co-publishing, with Carcanet, Langley’s Collected Poems (2000).

Japanese poems as magical formulas: Unveiling the connection to female physiology

This paper explores the reinterpreted use of early Japanese short poems tanka (henceforth referred to as waka) as magical formulas, particularly examining Moto yori chiri ni majiwaru…, a pseudo-classical waka attributed to Izumi Shikibu (976–1031) (also to Ono no Komachi, a ninth-century court poetess) and Naniwazu ni saku ya…, a poem recorded in Kokin wakashū [Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese Poems]. These examples, which are wellfounded in literature, illustrate how waka were repurposed for supernatural applications. The focus is on their practical role in female physiology, particularly as magical formulas to regulate menstrual cycles and ward off impurity caused by menstrual blood. The paper argues that these waka endured through their incorporation into talismans (gofu), and the study includes examples of talismans from the author’s private collection. Through this exploration, it sheds light on the dynamic interplay between waka, Buddhism, and ritualistic purity

Semantic transformations of phraseological units in poetic texts of the collection of poems of the XX century "Impulse. New names."

The article presents a study aimed at identifying the communicative and pragmatic properties of phraseological units functioning in the poetic texts of the collection "Impulse. New names." Since the use of phraseological units as in their original (dictionary) helps to create a special expressiveness and emotionality of each poem Similarly, in modified forms, the authors identify several types of phraseological units with structural and semantic changes. The theoretical basis of communicative and pragmatic phraseology studied by us served as an impetus for the search for new data in modern poetry. The specificity of the phraseology – context relationship lies in the fact that the phraseological unit represents both a special independent context and is part of the general context. The transformation of phraseological units is a process that includes various ways to update the usual stable expressions for the most adequate characterization of the described situation. A detailed study, selection and analysis of various types of stable phraseological expressions used and modified by the authors of the collection has been carried out. A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is the creation of a classification of phraseological units based on the studied material: with a reduction in the components of phraseology, with a change in the places of the components of phraseology, with an expansion of the lexical composition of phraseology, with a paradigmatic change in the core component of phraseology, with the replacement of one component of phraseology with another. In the course of the study, it was argued that semantic and structural changes within phraseological units are most often interrelated and imply each other. These changes and their varieties can be intertwined within the framework of a single poem or passage. In a poem, there may be phraseological units with the replacement of components, a phraseological unit with the reduction or expansion of components. Therefore, within the framework of one poem, it is possible to interact various phraseological units with a modified structure and semantics.

Abū l-Hudà al-Ṣayyādī (1850-1909), the niqābat al-ašrāf, and Sufism between Sunnah and Šīʿah in Late Ottoman Iraq (Šarīfism in Modernity I)

Abstract During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the Ottoman state’s efforts to centralize the Syndicate of Prophetic Descendants (niqābat al-ašrāf) was paralleled by the massive growth of Prophetic descendants (sādah and ašrāf) and the mass conversion to the Šīʿah among the tribes in the Iraqi provinces. This contribution aims to shed new light on the role of Abū l-Hudà al-Ṣayyādī (1266/1850-1327/1909), the imperial naqīb al-ašrāf and paramount šayḫ and architect of the Sunnī Rifāʿiyyah Sufi order, in this context. Analyzing a selection of Ṣayyādī’s publications on genealogies, Sufi doctrine, and poem collections, the article focuses on his contribution to the emergence of a special subgroup of Prophetic descendants in the Arab tribal landscape, namely al-sādah al-rifāʿiyyah, and on the significance of his genealogical constructions for his understanding of Sunnī Islam as distinct from Šīʿism.

Saudades: Toward a Sociopoetics of Diaspora, Migration, & Exiled Writing

Unpacking the term saudades, this article weaves together Claude Lévi-Strauss's research in Brazil for Tristes Tropiques with both Oswald de Andrade's 1928 Manifesto Anthropofago, and Rose and Bob Brown's visual poetry, travel guides, cookbooks, and young adult history books about Brazil. One can consider these projects as decolonial theory, poetry, and sociopoetics seventy or eighty years before decolonial theory became a widely discussed term. Augusto de Campos of the Noigandres group and a leader of the International Concrete Poetry movement wrote introductions to facsimile editions of both Oswald de Andrade's manifesto and then later to Bob Brown's republished collection of visual poems, 1450-1950. Although almost completely unknown now, Rose herself authored three children’s books, Two Children of Brazil, Two Children and their Jungle Zoo, and Amazon Adventures of Two Children, one social geography, Land and People of Brazil, and one biographical history, American Emperor: Dom Pedro II of Brazil, all while living in Brazil. Rose and Bob together edited the Brazilian American business weekly in the early and mid-1920s. All of these people may have known each other in Brazil as they worked and lived among overlapping circles of friends and colleagues involved in the modernist avant-garde, but as-of-yet, whether they met or not remains a mystery.

Генезис образа ратного поля в поэтической баталистике периода Отечественной войны 1812 года

The aim of the research is to identify the literary genesis, semantic components, and artistic potential of the image of the battlefield in the poetic batalistics of 1812. The article explores the architectonics of the battlefield space and the symbolic content of the battle image, based on works from the “Collection of Poems Relating to the Unforgettable Year of 1812”, in comparison with folklore traditions and ancient Russian military tales. The research’s scientific novelty lies in clarifying the genesis of spatial topoi in the verbal batalistics of the Patriotic War of 1812, determining the mechanisms of transforming vivid images of military events into powerful artistic images, and expanding our understanding of visual poetics in the Russian literature of the early 19th century. The study reveals that within the context of battles, the field topos is realized in several meanings. It is not only a designation of the battlefield but also a generalized image of the entire Russian land, embodying the national character. It is found that alongside the vivid imagery inherited from ancient Russian military storytelling, the poets of 1812 infused the battle texts with romantic and realistic tendencies in the depiction of space. This is reflected in their praises of the military accomplishments of ordinary individuals on the battlefield, the gallantry of hussars, friendly sentiments, and portrayals of soldier life. This allows readers to visually perceive historical events and be engaged with the literary patriotic tradition.

« À l’exemple des Abeilles » : Daniel Thaly poète-apiculteur

The purpose of this article is to introduce the West Indian poet Daniel Thaly (1879-1950), who was both a poet and a beekeeper. In his collection of poems L’île et le voyage, Thaly devotes the Fourth Chant to "La maison aux abeilles" (The house of bees), in which he celebrates the insects he cares for, which teach him both an art of living and an art of poetry. Thaly’s example shows how the practice of beekeeping informs poetry, particularly by renewing man’s relationship with the landscape. Beekeeping and the observation of bees also led the poet to set up these insects as poetic models: the motif of the bee is frequently used in poetry to represent the practice of innutrition. Like the bee, the poet gleans inspiration from his readings to produce his own honey, the poetic result of his influences. The case of Daniel Thaly is an interesting one, since we are dealing with a French-speaking poet in a colonial situation marked by the influence of Western literature and the force of assimilation. Thaly and the apiary metaphor invite us to examine the notions of imitation, innutrition and originality in the context of West Indian colonisation. Here, the prism of beekeeping offers a fresh look at a form of writing that for too long has been relegated to the category of servile imitation and stigmatised by critics as regionalist, exotic and doudouist literature.

К истории сборника «Грузинские романтики» (1940)

The paper reconstructs the history of the publication of the collection of poems “Georgian Romanticists” (1940) published by Yu.N. Tynyanov, N.S. Tikhonov, M.L. Lozinsky using memoirs, letters of the translators and archival materials. Also, the creation of the myth of Georgian Romanticism is traced, as being apart from the literary reality, which was in no way connected with the European Romanticism, but corresponding to its specific Russian version. Particular attention is paid to the role of B.L. Pasternak who, refusing to participate in this collection, familiarized the Russian reader with Georgian poetry by creating his own alternative “canon” of Georgian lyricists and took key positions in this field. By using materials of the First All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers (1934) and the First All-Union Conference of Translators (1936), which secured Pasternak’s fame as the “number one” translator of Georgian poetry and approved his principles of poetic translation which ignored the form of the original, the author outlines the context in which the collection “Georgian Romanticists”, entirely based on the theoretical foundations formulated by M. L. Lozinsky, looked as a manifesto of “accurate” translation, as a collective declaration of the translators that directly opposed the officially adopted translation strategy.

Spectrums: Autistic Transgender People in Their Own Words

In “Spectrums: Autistic Transgender People in Their Own Worlds,” Maxfield Sparrow presents a collection of personal essays and poems written by autistic and transgender individuals. This book highlights the intersectionality of neurodivergence and gender divergence, as the personal narratives touch on a variety of topics, such as coming out, childhood experiences, building relationships, hardships, and more. Sparrow, who also identifies as autistic and trans, was motivated to create this piece due to the current lack of research that addresses the intersectionality of being both autistic and transgender. Through this book, Sparrow hopes to shed light on the lived experiences of trans and autistic individuals.

“Niagara as Technology”: Rupturing the Technological for the Wordy Ecologies of Niagara Falls

My research-creation examines how colonial language and words inspire the logic behind resource extraction, appropriation, and exploitation. Through found poetry—a creative and analytical process of using different (“found”) sources and various methods to critique and view the world—I create a collection of poems responding to Daniel Macfarlane’s Fixing Niagara Falls: Environment, Energy, and Engineers at the World’s Most Famous Waterfall (2020). Macfarlane claims that the “result” of Niagara Falls is a “compromise between scenic beauty and electricity generation” (208). However, I argue that Niagara Falls is not a “compromised” space but a hub of ecosystems coming into being. My poetic techniques emphasize the arbitrariness of colonial practices that classify beings as successful, political, and economic gains or progress. As such, I use various found methods to think with water and Indigenous modes of healing with Niagara Falls. By redacting, cutting, and layering the found words, I create an ethos of confusion, apprehension, unease, and responsibility in order to call into question the colonial logic that defines how settlers position themselves on Indigenous lands and in order to offer the possibility to listen otherwise.

Oil, the Perennial Ache of the Niger Delta: A Critical Perspective on Two Collections of Poems

This paper examines the mutuality between human beings and their ecologies and the inevitable role of literature in critiquing these relationships, highlighting the beauty and the errors there in and what needs to be done to better the human world. This paper investigates the current state of the nation, Nigeria, and acquaints the people with the view that ecologies are over exploited by the Nigeria ruling class, in connivance with the multinational oil companies, leaving behind monumental and devastating ecological imprints on the landscape, fauna and flora. It investigates the poets’ intervention, the governments nonchalant attitude towards the peoples’ predicaments, the geometrical progression of poverty in the land and the way out of the dilemma. Using Ecocriticism, a trans-disciplinary approach, which scrutinises the relationship between biological sciences and literary imaginative works, the paper analyses the Ibiwari Ikiriko’s Oily Tears of the Delta and Sophia Obi’s Tears in a Basket which demonstrate the collective silence towards the exploitation of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This paper highlights, from the ecological perspective the pains of the Niger Delta region resulting from the environmental degradation, corruption and the criminality of the Nigerian government and the multinational oil companies. It also finds that there is a deliberate debasing of the nations landscape and calls on the government to do the needful. The paper concludes that there is a deliberate attempt to reawakening the peoples to rise up to the challenges of the moment in view of government insensitivity.

Snoilskys Svenska bilder i skolan och kulturminnets förändringar

Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder at School and the Changes of Cultural Memory: The article investigates the reception of Carl Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder (Swedish Pictures) in Swedish schools, from the 1890s until today, in the light of the concept of cultural memory. For more than half a century, Snoilsky’s cycle of poems, depicting important events and figures in Sweden’s early modern history, belonged to the literary school canon; three special school editions were published in 1894, 1931, and 1939 respectively, and frequently reprinted. In the 1960s, however, due to radical educational reforms, and the ensuing abandoning the idea of patriotic upbringing, the collection of historical poems lost its strong standing as a set reading, and it has since been more or less absent from the teaching of literature at school. It is concluded that the reception of Svenska bilder in the educational context reflects in several respects pronounced changes of Swedish cultural memory during the 20th century.

Det nationella landskapet som kulturminnets medium i Snoilskys Svenska bilder

National Landscape as a Medium of Cultural Memory in Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder: The aim of this article is to illuminate, from an ecocritical perspective, the spacial aspect of cultural memory in Carl Snoilsky’s cycle of poems Svenska bilder (Swedish Pictures). According to Jan Assmann, cultural memory locates its signs in a natural space, whereby whole landscapes can also function as a medium of cultural memory. Consequently, they become semanticised, elevated in their entirety to the status of a sign. Thus, a landscape becomes a topographical text of cultural memory, a place of memory that Assmann calls mnemotopos. Drawing on one of the most important tropes of ecocritical thought, i.e. the pastoral, the article examines how Snoilsky’s collection of poems presents the Swedish landscape and how this landscape becomes a vehicle of cultural memory.

Loss of identity in T.S. Eliot's poems selected poems

T. S. Eliot is often regarded as one of the best writers of the 20th century. The realities and pain of modern civilization after war are embodied in his creative works dealing with the aftermath of war and loss of identity, which earn him the Nobel prize in literature. There are several poems by this author that capture the experience of the contemporary man. There are three parts to this paper. The first part of this essay discusses the life and work of T. S. Eliot, the critical acclaim that his works have received, and the prestigious literary award that he has won. In the second part, we look at what makes contemporary poetry distinct. How T. S. Eliot enhances the characteristics that current poets employ to produce their poetry. The third section is a collection of Eliot's poems that reflect on and depict modern human life and the modern man's loss of identity, including "The Hollow Man," "The Waste Land," and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," all of which were written after World War II. The poem "Prelude," which alludes to a musical overture to a contemporary day, is a perfect example. Eliot's poetry as a whole reflects the reality and sorrow of contemporary man's identity crisis. The study's conclusion summarizes its findings, which focused on how T.S. Eliot's poetry deals with themes of identity loss, the hardship of living, and solitude in the years after World War II.

Joachim Rachel’s Epigrammatum centuria (1648): first renunciation of occasional poetry in premodern Livonia

ABSTRACT In the development of the multilingual secular literature of early modern Livonia, the 1630s and 1640s mark not only the beginning of vernacular poetry in Estonian and Latvian, but also the first attempts to break free from the dominant paradigm of occasional poetry and to write single authored collections on universal topics. Following the classical and humanist tradition, Joachim Rachel’s Epigrammatum centuria (Hundred epigrams) poetized his knowledge and ideas without a link to a public or private event, elevating a collection of short poems in Livonia to the similar level of individual literary achievement as the publication of an epic or chronicle, and the poet to that of an individual author.

L’amore coniugale nella tradizione lirica femminile oitanica: persistenze e discontinuità nelle Autres Balades di Christine de Pizan1

Abstract Marital love is one of the major themes in medieval French literature. The paper aims to investigate this theme in Christine de Pizan’s heterogeneous collection of poems entitled Autres Balades. In particular, this contribution proposes a critical edition of two Ballads, namely No. 8 (Dieux! On se plaint trop durement) and No. 26 (Doulce chose est que mariage). The results of the study show the persistence of the theme in the female lyric tradition. Moreover, the resulting commentary reveals important influences of the Old French chansons de malmariée on Christine de Pizan’s Ballads.
