Whilst O'Hara has often been framed as a city poet, such a reading of him underestimates the presence of trees and green spaces in his work. Paying attention to O'Hara's trees, as well as touching on the work of John Ashbery, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Walt Whitman, I discuss a complex relationship in which trees become coded props for queer self-revelation while destabilising conceptions of both the queer and the natural.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127017554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When it is, readers have highlighted her peculiar diction and interest in traditional forms, treating her work as an anachronism within twentieth-century poetry in English. This article situates her poems within a longer poetic history by examining the depth and variety of her engagement with the work of other poets, including medieval Persian poetry, Thomas Campion, Keats, Hopkins, Hardy, and her father, Robert Bridges. Revealing imaginative and searching rewritings of this diverse company, the article demonstrates how critics might profitably begin to redress Daryush's historical neglect.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127853838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"'A Genteel Form of Suicide': Julian Bell's Chinese Journey","authors":"Yaqing Xie","doi":"10.1093/camqtly/bfab019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/camqtly/bfab019","url":null,"abstract":"In ‘The Leaning Tower’, Virginia Woolf points out that the Oxbridge male writers sit upon a tower of ‘middle-class birth and expensive education’, but this tower tended to lean in the 1930s—young men were forced to be interested in politics and stopped discussing ‘aesthetic emotions and personal relations’. Her nephew, Julian Bell (1908–?1937), was just a ‘member’ of this leaning-tower group who moved away from values, positions, and aesthetic focus of the earlier generation. Julian Bell was labelled an English poet, activist, journalist, teacher, and Cambridge Apostle. He shifted from a liberal pacifist position to being a man of action during his years of teaching at the National University of Wuhan from 1935 to 1937. He took part in the Spanish Civil War as an ambulance driver on the Republican side, and died at the age of twenty-nine when his ambulance was hit by bombs from the planes of the Nationalists. Before setting out for China in 1935, Julian Bell commented in a letter to a friend: ‘My own feeling about China, is that it’s about all I’m fit for now: a genteel form of suicide.’ We need to pay attention to the irony of what Bell meant culturally and personally by ‘suicide’. Culturally, this could be an example of upper-class English racism towards China, while personally, Bell might have considered this journey as a chance to ‘kill’ his old self, to break with the past, and to discover a new direction in life. Growing up in an elite circle of distinctive intellectuals, artists, and writers, Bell was overwhelmed by his family’s success and their expectations of him. He was constantly bothered by an identity problem: who was he among all the famous and successful Bloomsbury members? As the representative figure of the second generation of the Bloomsbury Group, Julian Bell was both an ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ to the group.

Becker","doi":"10.1093/CAMQTLY/BFAB022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/CAMQTLY/BFAB022","url":null,"abstract":"THE MIDWEST, GEOGRAPHICALLY AND CULTURALLY, is a particularly difficult region to define. Writer Tamara Winfrey-Harris, for example, describes the nation’s middle zone as ‘the space between the coasts and above the Mason-Dixon line’, a definition of the Midwest that relies more on other regions than it does on the Midwest itself (p. 168). Recently, Midwestern scholarship has begun seeking to draw more attention to a region often overlooked in favour of the East and West Coasts, questioning long-held assumptions about the region and beliefs about whose voices we should turn to in order to understand life there. Black in the Middle: An Anthology of the Black Midwest, the first publication from the newly formed Black Midwest Initiative, participates in this conversation by arguing that in mainstream efforts to define the region, Black stories of the Midwest have been ignored or misrepresented, despite the fact that the Midwest is home to millions of Black residents who have formed robust and thriving communities. In seeking to fill in this representational void, the anthology brings together academics, activists, artists, and students to explore the question of what it means to be Black in a region itself often overlooked or misunderstood. What emerges is a collection of poems, essays, oral histories, and photographs that consider the Black Midwestern experience from many different angles to create a reading experience that is sometimes disjointed and frustratingly organised but always compelling, and that speaks both to academics engaged in Black and Midwestern studies as well as to a more general audience seeking a starting place for learning about Black lives in the United States. The Midwest’s significance in the history of Black Americans is, at least factually, well established. The Midwest was a frequent destination for many Black Americans looking to escape the South and find new opportunities in factories during the Great Migration, which saw the movement of approximately 8 million Black people from the South to the North, Midwest, and West between 1890 and 1980 (p. 92).
