The Russian realist authors Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn communicate the importance of questioning social conventions and religion in order to gain personal and political freedom and avoid living a mediocre life. They challenge readers to recognize selfish tendencies and strive to improve society.

Travis McDonald: “‘In Memory of W. B. Yeats’: Elegy for a Man and an Ideal” W. H. Auden’s 1939 elegy for W. B. Yeats recognizes the passing of his contemporary as well his own belief in the social efficacy of poetry. The form of the elegy serves the traditional commemorative purpose while simultaneously enabling Auden to critique both Yeats and politically intentioned art.

sonnet
This paper compares and contrasts Gerard Manly Hopkins’ sonnet “As Kingfishers Catch Fire, Dragonflies Draw Flame” to the “terrible” sonnet “Carrion Comfort.” It asserts that since both sonnets explore opposite ends of a paradoxical relationship between man and Christ, which Hopkins often meditated over, both sonnets should work together as spiritual complements of one another, rather than proof of Hopkins’ spiritual derailment.

The concept behind this year's theme, "Bold," actually came from concepts our art director, Melissa, showed us during our first meeting. We had tossed around ideas of "Timeless," "Enduring," and "Vintage," amidst our discussions of how in the world we were going to raise money for the journal this year. With the economy tanking, we knew art programs like ours would be the first to suffer. We wanted to find a theme that captured how we felt about art and how art made us feel. We kept coming back to the same idea: We have to just be bold and go forth with this project, as if nothing in the world could stop it. As soon as Melissa showed us the black background with neon lettering, we knew exactly what our theme was to be this year.
Art has to be bold in order to achieve anything. It has to punch limits in the gut and spill its own soul on the page, canvas, or music sheet. It must stand out and stand on its own. The poem from which the journal gets its name, "Sailing to Byzantium," is about striking out for a land where people are not afraid to be individual and create art that is bold. For us, the journey of getting Volume 20 published has felt much like the journey to Byzantium: long and arduous, but extremely rewarding in the end.
We set out boldly, and we "have sailed the seas and come/To the holy city of Byzantium."

Even though there were sixteen years separating them, Stevie Smith and Emily Dickinson had much in common. They both use death as a theme to explore and mock life. Their small poems have a lot to say about life and death.

Illuminating the Need for Fiction to Love within a Postmodern Reality
Lightsey, Alexandria
English Department
BA in English
2011-03-01T08:00:00Z
Carol MacCurdy
Literature in English, North America
Postmodern love
using fiction to redefine reality
illusions essential to reality
<p>Jonathan Safran Foer in his novel <em>Everything is Illuminated </em>(2002), engages and overturns traditional notions of love. In his work, love, as an exalted feeling, does not exist outside of animalistic desire. Instead, as Foer proposes through the numerous and complex relationships of his characters, love exists in an illusion as the individual defines and creates it. To love is to willfully choose to believe in this idealism. For this idealism, whose existence is impossible within the broken nature of this world, must be sustained in an artifice once-removed from reality. <em>Everything is Illuminated</em> thus suggests that without fiction, reality is impossible. Language and fiction become a catalyst, connecting the love created in one’s illusion into a tangible narrative reality may recognize. Without language, illusions go undefined, love is not created, and the modern awareness of one another’s depravity is re-exposed, rendering relationships and thus procreation impossible. </p>
