Landscapes as Narrative Commentary in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West by Dianne C. Luce

“…Each comprises a static composition that slows the violent action and also functions as a prose poem, rich in allusiveness. Evoking in the reader the perceptual and interpretive modes of a pensive viewer of a painted landscape, these scenes invite us to apply techniques drawn from art criticism to comprehend them as the narrator’s sober meditations on the Glanton gang’s violent enterprise.…”

CYBERPUNK – GAME – POETRY: Rostislav Amelin’s “SimStab” by Daniil Leiderman, Mark Lipovetsky

“…Like many other cyberpunk texts, “SimStab” explores the conflict between the desire to resist colonization by the pervasive powers dominating contemporary society, and the absolute necessity of willingly colonizing your own body and subjectivity with the products of these powers. Both the poem, game and their shared text embody spaces of utopia reliant on repressed sites of formless abjection, which paradoxically become a source of anarchic freedom. …”

Line Breaths in Allen Ginsberg’s Poetry by Anna Aublet

“…According to the Beat poet, the line should not be modelled after the length of the page, but rather attempt to break its delineations so as to return the poem to its original breath. These observations invite us to take a closer look at the long line as both a political and personal expression of the poet’s journey on and off the page.…”

‘Lights Out’: Edward Thomas on the Way to War by Wojciech Klepuszewski

C’est cette recréation de guerre par procuration que nous étudierons dans cet article, en terminant par Lights Out, écrit peu avant son départ pour le front où il fut mortellement blessé, lors de la bataille d’Arras, en avril 1917.…”

Poetry as Pagan Pilgrimage: the ‘Animative Impulse’ of Thomas Hardy’s Verse by Laurence Estanove

“…Hardy’s leaning towards paganism is therefore more poetic than theistic. The poem ‛Aquae Sulis’ illustrates this by staging an ironic reunion of the Pagan and Christian traditions—‛images both’—while testifying to the ‛animative impulse’ of Hardy’s poetry that reconciles metaphorical discourse with living experience.…”

“…Cet article s’interroge sur les deux territoires que l’on peut discerner, à la suite d’Antoine Vitez et Denis Guénoun, dans l’histoire du théâtre occidental : un « théâtre performatif », du rituel, de la co-célébration avec le public, de l’expérimentation et de l’imagination collective, et un « théâtre du dévoilement » où le poème dramatique est « révélé », comme vérité transcendante, dans une mise en scène savamment organisée selon les modalités de l’apparaître propres à la perspective. …”
