In prose as clean and beautiful as the stark prairie setting, The Plain Sense of Things tells the stories of three generations of a western Nebraska family. These tales of sorrow and hope are connected by the sinews of need and flawed love that keep families together. A farm wife struggles to support her children after the death of her second husband; a young woman grapples with the shift from girlhood to motherhood; World War II wreaks havoc on those left behind; and a failing farmstead breaks a family's heart. Amid hardship and change, these interwoven stories illuminate the resilience and d.

Edwards (philosophy, Furman U.) describes a religious way of living that relies on neither religion's traditional power nor the current enthusiasm for values. He first provides an historical introduction, paying special attention to Kierkegaard and the early work of Heidegger. He then analyzes Heidegger's notion of "poetic dwelling on the earth as a mortal," and shows how this notion is exemplified in Thoreau's Walden, Norman Maclean's Young Men and Fire, and Wallace Stevens' poem "The Plain Sense of Things."

Starting with Symbolism, various modernist movements in the first half of the twentieth century privileged the work of direct perception, objective attitudes and concrete imagery over direct demonstrations of mental processes involving abstract ideation. Imagism, in particular, had and continues to have substantial impact on descriptive practices in Anglo-American poetry. By the middle of the century, however, the modernist engine was exhausted. Poets and literary critics started finding the modernist emphasis on objectivity and concrete imagery insufficient for engaging the mind's more immediate and spontaneous modes of responsiveness. This dissertation studies how plain rhetoric and the concept of plainness enabled mid-twentieth-century poets to make meaningful departures from the stylistic orthodoxies of modernism. The four poets studied here -- Wallace Stevens, Frank O'Hara, Thom Gunn and Eavan Boland -- supplement the technical achievements of modernism with a plain rhetoric that tests the affordances of abstraction, generalization, and epigrammatic statement for modern poetry. The desire for plainspoken language challenges some cherished critical distinctions between poetic language and everyday language, calling attention to how communicative uses of language may in fact increase the resourcefulness of poetic expression. Accordingly, these poets foreground the gestural and referential strivings of their speakers to establish compelling continuities between the concrete elements of experience and the mind's abstractive gestures. The project analyzes these literary developments within the larger context of intellectual thought to demonstrate how transformations in the history of philosophy and critical theory inform changes in literary style. More specifically, the project consults various accounts in the Philosophy of Language and Psychoanalysis to evaluate the challenges and importance of referential intention in fixing reference. Finally, this project also investigates the revival of the Renaissance plain style in the period by Yvor Winters, a prominent literary critic at Stanford University, whose work influenced many critics and poets. An analysis of Winters's legacy and influence on his students like Thom Gunn shows how Renaissance conceptions of plainness offered generative stylistic models for modern poets and critics.

An excellent introduction to “the best and most representative American poet” (Harold Bloom), this palm–sized, keepsake edition is the first separate publication of this remarkable collection of late poems. In 1955, shortly before his death, Wallace Stevens earned the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the National Book Award for The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens. The collection gathered most of his life’s work, and featured 25 previously unpublished poems. Stevens imagined that those poems would stand alone as their own volume—The Rock. Featuring some of his most memorable poems, including “Not Ideas about the Thing but the Thing Itself,” The Rock is a sublime selection of works from one of American’s most brilliant, beloved modernist. “After the reader has admired certain lines because Shakespeare might have written them, he begins to admire them because only Stevens could.” —Robert Fitzgerald “One might as well argue with the Evening Star and find fault with so much wit and grace and intelligence . . . such an overwhelming and exquisite command both of the worlds and of the rhythms of our language; such charm and irony, such natural and philosophical breadth of sympathy, such dignity and magnanimity.” —Randall Jarrell
