Drawing on personal meditation and a highly-readable blend of
theology, animal biology, and paleoanthropology, Thomas Simmons
looks at love as a post-evolutionary force whose dangers may
diminish with the rediscovery of a human ?home range, ? a primitive
and ultimate refuge
Obscenity and Disruption in the Poetry of Dylan Krieger is the
first full-length study of the radical poetry of Baton Rouge-based
poet Dylan Krieger. Wickedly smart, iconoclastic, daring in their
critiques of religion and contemporary culture, Krieger's poems
rank with Allen Ginsberg's and Adrienne Rich's as the most
provocative and avant-garde of any recent generation. With its debt
to third-wave feminism and the "Gurlesque," Krieger's work
nevertheless moves outward and backward across the landmines of
sexual precocity and religious fundamentalism and across the entire
western project of epistemology as Krieger came to understand it at
the University of Notre Dame. Though this book necessarily stays
close to Krieger's specific poems, it follows her lead in
stretching her cultural, sexual, and religious furies to their
apotheosis in a manifesto of liberation.
Transition Planning for Secondary Students with Disabilities, 4/e
is a comprehensive and practical resource for anyone involved in
dealing with and meeting the transition needs of students with
disabilities. The authors describe the varied transition needs
readers are likely to encounter in their work and provide a
succinct look at the options and career paths potentially
available. They cover implementing transition systems, creating a
transition perspective of education, and promoting movement to
postschool environments.
A poet's oeuvre is typically studied as an arc from the first work
to the last work, including everything in between as a
manifestation of some advance or reversal. What if the primary
relationship in a poet's oeuvre is actually between the first and
last text, with those two texts sharing a compelling private
language? What if, read separately from the other work, the first
and last books reveal some new phenomenon about both the struggles
and the achievement of the poet? Drawing on phenomenological and
intertextual theories from Ladislaus Boros, Julia Kristeva, Theodor
Adorno, and Peter Galison, Poets' First and Last Books in Dialogue
examines the relevant texts of Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop,
Anne Sexton, Thom Gunn, Sylvia Plath, and Ted Hughes. In each of
these poets' first books, Thomas Simmons examines both the evidence
of some new phenomenon and a limit or unsolved problem that finds
its resolution only in a specific conversation with the final text.
By placing the texts in dialogue, Simmons unveils a new internal
language in the work of these groundbreaking poets. The character
of this illumination expands in a coda on Robert Pinsky, whose
career is particularly marked by what neurologist Antonio Damasio
calls the moment of "stepping into the light."
