NEW DIRECTIONS: FIRST WAVE Barnstone, Aliki, Michael Tomasek Manson and Carol F. Singley, eds. The Calvinist Roots of the Modern Era . Hanover: U of New England P, 1997. Section one collects essays on modern writers who extend Calvinism into the twentieth century, on writers who hope modernity means the end of Calvinism's hold on America, on writers who rebel against their Calvinistic legacy, and on writers who argue for their own traditions claiming alternative roots to the Calvinist tradition. Beach, Christopher. ABC of Influence: Ezra Pound and the Remaking of American Poetic Tradition . Berkeley: U of California P, 1992. This study examines those writers who found their primary source in the ideas and practices of Pound. Focusing on the two decades after World War II, Beach sees Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, Allen Ginsberg, Denise Levertov, and Gary Synder as the poetic heirs of Pound. Cowley, Malcolm.

PVCC Theatre Spoon River Anthology Director’s Note Students have heard me say more than once that I find boring any theatre that isn’t ultimately about me. That’s not meant as a statement of personal elitism, but simply as a universal response to any experience. As consumers of entertainment and the arts, we all need to find the personal relevance in what we see and hear, or we will walk away dissatisfied. So what’s in it for us, as we enter the Twenty-first Century, this old verse collection about dead people who once lived in two Illinois towns in the first decade of the Twentieth Century? Edgar Lee Masters (1868-1950) is widely regarded as one of America’s finest writers, a lasting reputation he earned instantly with the publication of his Spoon River Anthology in serial form, beginning in 1915. His childhood was split between two Illinois towns, Petersburg, populated primarily by Kentuckians, Virginians, and settlers from the rural south, and Lewistown, filled with pioneers from New England and the industrial North. The “Spoon River” inhabitants are based on people he recalled from his experiences in both towns. Masters was a lawyer by training, the one-time law partner of Clarence Darrow, and an avid supporter of the losing populist presidential campaigns of William Jennings Bryan (who would ultimately face each other in the courtroom of the Scopes “Monkey” trial).

The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914
    T he U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) between the industrial North and the agricultural, slave-owning South was a watershed in American history. The innocent optimism of the young democratic nation gave way, after the war, to a period of exhaustion. American idealism remained but was rechanneled. Before the war, idealists championed human rights, especially the abolition of slavery; after the war, Americans increasingly idealized progress and the self-made man. This was the era of the millionaire manufacturer and the speculator, when Darwinian evolution and the "survival of the fittest" seemed to sanction the sometimes unethical methods of the successful business tycoon. Business boomed after the war. War production had boosted industry in the North and given it prestige and political clout. It also gave industrial leaders valuable experience in the management of men and machines. The enormous natural resources iron, coal, oil, gold, and silver of the American land benefitted business. The new intercontinental rail system, inaugurated in 1869, and the transcontinental telegraph, which began operating in 1861, gave industry access to materials, markets, and communications. The constant influx of immigrants provided a seemingly endless supply of inexpensive labor as well. Over 23 million foreigners German, Scandinavian, and Irish in the early years, and increasingly Central and Southern Europeans thereafter flowed into the United States between 1860 and 1910. Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino contract laborers were imported by Hawaiian plantation owners, railroad companies, and other American business interests on the West Coast.

THE FENCE POST
dear friends:
fall is so busy, too busy!!! i feel like a crazed squirrel running from tree to tree trying to make things ready for the winter to come...only in my case i'm scurrying from room to room trying to get stuff ready to sell and patterns written and on and on. i'm sure you can relate to this in one way or another. these old issues are such fun to read, remember to use the handy index to find what you are looking for amongst the seed pod archives!
i think child hood is a great place to find inspirations of all sorts. remembering a favorite game, friend, or outing. holidays as a child, seeing things thru a child's eyes are all great wealths of ideas waiting to be sprung from the mind. if you find yourself trying to reinvent something, perhaps you are making a snowman, and you just can't seem to capture what a snow man 'is'. ....stop...think of not how a snowman "should be" but rather, how a child or the child in you sees a snowman.
it is only when we brush away the expectations and let our own hearts tell us how our art is and should be that we can totally be free to create truly wonderous things. try using child like innocence to create something and you might be amazed at what you find. it's true what they say, if you can't figure out your vcr by reading the directions, give the controls to a 5 year old. now why is that? perhaps because they are not afraid to try things, not worried about making a "mistake" and not clouded in the head from the world's expectations.

Anthony Findlay
BOTH for the country and for the man, And for a country as well as a man, ’Tis better to be feared than loved. And if this country would rather part With the friendship of every nation Than surrender its wealth, I say of a man ’tis worse to lose Money than friends. And I rend the curtain that hides the soul Of an ancient aspiration: When the people clamor for freedom They really seek for power o’er the strong. I, Anthony Findlay, rising to greatness From a humble water carrier, Until I could say to thousands “Come,” And say to thousands “Go,” Affirm that a nation can never be good, Or achieve the good, Where the strong and the wise have not the rod To use on the dull and weak.

Edgar Lee Masters
occupies a transitional place in American literature, straddling the divide between narrative poetry of the 19th century and modern American poetry of the 20th century. He was a prolific and diverse writer, belonging to the Chicago Group of Midwestern writers. His career saw the decline in influence of the Midwest as the Eastern literary establishment rose to prominence in American literature.
Spoon River Anthology
Masters was not encouraged in his literary ambitions; his father, a lawyer, wanted his son to also pursue the legal profession. Masters accordingly studied law and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1891. He practiced law first in Chicago, then New York, for nearly thirty years. He initially formed a law partnership with Kickham Scanlan (1893 - 1903); he later joined the law firm of famed attorney Clarence Darrow (1903 - 1911). He married Helen Jenkins, daughter of another Chicago lawyer, in 1898 and with her had three children. During his early period Masters wrote several undistinguished plays and books of poetry under the pseudonym Dexter Wallace. He became part of the Chicago Group of writers and poets, which included Harriet Monroe, editor of the Poetry magazine, Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay.

In 1915, Edgar Lee Masters published The Spoon River Anthology, a book of 244 poems spoken by the deceased residents of Spoon River (a rural area in Illinois) from their graves on "the hill". The book created a stir because many of the supposedly fictional speakers were recognizable as real people. The poems are remarkable for the breadth of personalities and the honesty with which they speak. All the poems were written in free verse, which puts them outside the scope of this "formalist" anthology. Nonetheless, I include some here because they are moving and haunting. These poems are food for my spirit like no other. I recommend this book more strongly than any other book of poetry. – Editor The Hill

Edgar Lee Masters Political activist, Lawyer, and Poet.
Edgar Lee Masters began his career as a lawyer, and was greatly involved in politics. After having written several pamphlets criticizing Imperialism, provoked by the beginning of war in the Philippines, he was shunned by the conservative lawyers of Chicago and was forced to find employment with the radicals. During this time, he wrote most of his poetry.
Edgar Lee Masters dedicated his life to "Reforming" the American government, and, by the time of his death, felt that he had done so successfully.
