Thomas Hardy’s “The Bridge of Lodi” and Elizabeth Bishop’s “Questions of Travel"
In Thomas Hardy's poem "The Bridge of Lodi", in "Poems of the Past and the Present" (1901), about a visit to the site of Napoleon's early military success in Lodi, Lombardy, the speaker discovers that nobody there seems to know anything about that battle: "[...] wherefore should I be here, / Watching

Poems and songs that refer to The Grateful Dead or their songs
For one session in my course "The Grateful Dead: Lyrics, Music, Culture" this term, I'll focus on Jeffrey Harrison's poem "Elizabeth Bishop and The Grateful Dead", but we'll also look at Denise Levertov's "Happiness" (which mentions dancing to "Workingman's Dead", Joyce Peseroff's "Zeno's Paradox, or My Mother's Forsythia" (which mentions

“The present President begs and begs”: A third cento with lines by Elizabeth Bishop
Five times—always five— the present President begs and begs. King George with Queen Mary —which Mary? Aunt Mary?— is like what we imagine, escaping endless intersecting circles littered with old correspondences like an egg of fire inside of a volcano. The music doesn’t quite come through. Useless for

“The blue pharmacy”: A second cento with lines by Elizabeth Bishop
Alarms for the expected are straight from Chirico, already out of style. In the dark environs, somebody loves us all, whatever you believe. Why, why do we feel wasted, wasted, wobbling and wavering, watched through binoculars. Whatever the landscape had of meaning, the dust hid the people’s faces because

“Artlessly rhetorical”: A cento with lines by Elizabeth Bishop
Artlessly rhetorical, Norway’s hare runs south. We must admire this morning’s glitterings. Round and round and round at the same height, a wretched flag tried and tried to confirm it, like a semaphore, the poorest postcard of itself. I want to tell you half is enough. A senseless

The four-part cinema of Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Moose"
For tomorrow's discussion of Elizabeth Bishop's 1972 poem "The Moose", I asked the students to read J. T. Welsch's 2019 article "‘The Moose’ as Movie: Elizabeth Bishop as Screenwriter". Following Welsch's discussion of cinematic techniques in "The Moose", I have broken the poem into four parts: the establishing shots (lines
