All those white men seem to be carrying brown paper shopping bags, full of whiskey and other goodies; rows of ballpoints gleam in the breast pockets of their checked shirts. In front of his villa, a leathery oldster, in visored cap, unpacks his golf clubs from his station wagon, while his cotton-haired wife, in a flowered print dress, glasses slung round her neck, stands by, watching, her hands on her hips.

The Vietnamese old men and boys, in wide, conical hats, pedaling their Cyclos (the modern version of the rickshaw) in and out of the traffic pattern, the Vietnamese women in high heels and filmy ao-dais of pink, lavender, heliotrope, the signs and Welcome banners in Vietnamese actually contribute to the Stateside impression by the addition of “local” color, as though you were back in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco or in a Japanese sukiyaki place, under swaying paper lanterns, being served by women in kimonos while you sit on mats and play at using chopsticks.","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"61 1","pages":"162 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43744533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Larry Eigner’s correspondence is vast and distributed across university archives and personal collections. Some institutions have major holdings: the University of Kansas, where a repository of typescripts was established in the late 1960s by a cousin of Eigner’s who taught English there; Stanford University, which holds the papers of Robert Creeley and Denise Levertov, two early correspondents; the University of Buffalo, where the Jargon papers are held; and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas, which holds a number of collections with Eigner correspondence, mainly his letters to Cid Corman from the 1950s and 1960s. Yet these major archival collections represent only a fraction of the letters Eigner wrote to fellow poets, friends, family members, and editors. Eigner’s significant correspondence begins as he enters into the conversations about writing among the Black Mountain poets (which includes not only Creeley, Levertov, Williams, and Corman, but also Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, and Paul Blackburn, all of whom Eigner corresponded with). It continues in the 1960s as Donald Allen’s The New American Poetry introduced this coterie poetics to a wider audience and extends into the G E O R G E H A R T","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"61 1","pages":"269 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45041471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These strangers cannot simply be identified with the outsider, the foreigner, or the refugee, for strangerhood has become the condition of all individuals in “liquid modernity.” “Liquid” is Bauman’s metaphor for the transformation of once-solid social orders and state institutions by highly mobile, highly unpredictable global capital flows, the outcomes of which have been “[p]rogressive deregulation of labour markets and ‘flexibilization’ of work . . . , growing fragility of social positions and instability of socially recognized identities” ( Strangers 29).1 The stranger is the bane of liquid modernity, but also its ubiquitous representative. Liquidity makes strangers of citizens by uprooting them from solid social structures while demanding that they re-embed themselves within personal and collective identities increasingly characterized by impermanence and weightlessness. Discarded by political authorities that no longer consider it their role either to ensure universal economic security or to entrench citizens in civic life, the stranger is “liberated” from duty to, and","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"61 1","pages":"66 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46456578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, when Michael Gilkes writes about LeRoy Clarke from Trinidad and Tobago, he theorizes painting as a metaphor for Clarke’s use of language: “Using language as if working with tubes of paint, [Clarke] has shaped an idiosyncratic, imaginative, metaphorical, poetic discourse . . . of a rooted Caribbean sensibility” (qtd. in Robinson-Walcott 602). Gilkes’s metaphor is more felicitous than we might realize at first, in that a surprising number of Caribbean writers, especially poets, are also skilled painters, and many painter-poets showcase original paintings on their book covers. Born in Kingston in 1947, Lorna Goodison is one such poet―a major figure in West Indian and global poetry who was appointed Jamaica’s poet laureate in 2017. Earlier in her career, she was trained as an artist at the Jamaica School of Art, eventually intensifying her study of painting at the Art Students League of New York. Critics have been keenly interested in the significance of painting as a meta phor in her work but have largely neglected in-depth studies of how the concrete practice of painting might inform her literary texts as uniquely cross-artistic crafted works. I once had the chance to ask Goodison directly about the significance of color in her work―her books and her paintings. Without a moment of hesitation, she replied, “I’m a colorist!” In this essay, I follow Goodison’s colors, including her in-depth studies of color’s conspicuous absence in shades of black. At the root of all color is the science of pigment, and I suggest that pigment―painting’s A M Y E.
