So, this is the theme of my thesis (in the context of literary modernism). So, I'm always fascinating when literature gets tossed into political situations. Here's a very recent example of this happening to Yeats' "The Second Coming."
I've decided that my "Modernism in the American Grain" class is my favorite graduate school class so far! We've covered modernist precursors, like Whitman and Dickinson, Pound, Eliot (finally got to study The Waste Land), and now we're barrelling through W.C. Williams. Brooks, Wallace Stevens is next!
I've been working on my application for teaching high school English next year. Katie will be finishing up her coursework for at least another, then move onto to her dissertation. So, we're going to be in Tallahassee for at least another two years - much to our satisfaction.

Love to all.
