University of California Press

pokkari
Andrea Zanzotto’s poetry is celebrated for its intellectual rigor and inventive style, establishing him as a distinctive voice in Italian and international literature. The Language of Beauty’s Apprentice introduces readers to Zanzotto’s works, particularly highlighting how his early poems lay the groundwork for his later, more complex pieces. Zanzotto’s early collections reveal a poetic journey rooted in self-exploration and the boundaries of language, a journey that later explodes with La Beltà in 1968. These early works serve not only as an entryway to Zanzotto’s literary evolution but also as a metaphorical tale on the possibilities of language and selfhood. Here, Zanzotto presents language as both a material and paradoxical force, a medium for self-expression that inherently limits yet also amplifies subjective experience. This duality, what might be termed “linguistic materialism,” becomes a central theme, marking Zanzotto’s critique of individual identity and communication as interwoven with communal and linguistic frameworks. With La Beltà, Zanzotto propels this linguistic exploration forward, fusing political and social critiques with a richly layered poetic form. Drawing from Italian literary tradition and figures such as Leopardi, Zanzotto uses language to explore the intersections of personal and collective identities, symbolized through metaphors like snow, which represent both fleeting stasis and the potential for renewal. His 1969 poem “Gli sguardi i fatti e senhal,” inspired by the Apollo 2 moon landing, continues this trajectory, contrasting humanity's technological conquests with an ecological awareness embodied by the goddess Diana. Through these works, Zanzotto examines the tensions between beauty, language, and existential vulnerability in an era fraught with political turmoil and rapid technological advancement. His poetry ultimately stands as a profound meditation on the collective and individual implications of language, perception, and identity in the modern world. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1988.

Colonization and Its Discontents

Colonization and Its Discontents

Beverly C. Tomek

New York University Press
2012
pokkari
Pennsylvania contained the largest concentration of early America's abolitionist leaders and organizations, making it a necessary and illustrative stage from which to understand how national conversations about the place of free blacks in early America originated and evolved, and, importantly, the role that colonization—supporting the emigration of free and emancipated blacks to Africa—played in national and international antislavery movements. Beverly C. Tomek's meticulous exploration of the archives of the American Colonization Society, Pennsylvania's abolitionist societies, and colonizationist leaders (both black and white) enables her to boldly and innovatively demonstrate that, in Philadelphia at least, the American Colonization Society often worked closely with other antislavery groups to further the goals of the abolitionist movement. In Colonization and Its Discontents, Tomek brings a much-needed examination of the complexity of the colonization movement by describing in depth the difference between those who supported colonization for political and social reasons and those who supported it for religious and humanitarian reasons. Finally, she puts the black perspective on emigration into the broader picture instead of treating black nationalism as an isolated phenomenon and examines its role in influencing the black abolitionist agenda.

A Journey Through Grief

A Journey Through Grief

Beverly C. Simmons

Beverly Simmons chronicles her journey as a woman of faith after the devastating loss of her husband. She finds she can even thank God for the disappointments she experiences after becoming a widow: "As one 'prop' after another has been taken away, I am constantly confronted with the fact that only God can be counted on. Only God is always there for me no matter what.... So even though it's a hard lesson, I am learning, sometimes reluctantly, that I must depend on God alone.... I get the feeling that this will take a lifetime to accomplish and then only by the grace of God." ----------- "As a widow, I can say this book relates As a reader, you know what the author describes is what a woman goes through after the death of her spouse. She works through loneliness, financial difficulties, parenting a child who is also grieving, and day-to-day struggles as a single person in the struggle to recover and move on in life. It is an easy read and inspiring " (S. Cram, Director, New Beginnings Grief Ministry) ----------- "As a wife and mother, a church musician, a woman of faith, and a widow at the age of 57, Beverly Simmons weaves together threads of grief, loss, hope, trust, and faithfulness in God's presence, strength, and purpose for our lives. This book is a series of meditations in which Beverly invites us to enter into her journey through the pain and loss of her husband into a new way of being as a strong, single woman with a deep faith in the healing power of God." (The Rev. Jean Campbell)"Preface: After living and ministering on Long Island for 24 years, my husband Jeff took a job in Peekskill, New York. After the move, I found my "dream job" as a church musician at Zion Episcopal Church in Wappingers Falls, New York. The commute from Peekskill took about 45 minutes. We were settling into our new roles (my husband as retreat leader and spiritual director) and looking to spending the next 10-15 years there until we retired. We were even talking about the traveling we wanted to do when that time came.A year and half later, we were blind-sided with Jeff's diagnosis of colon cancer. Still, we assumed and prayed that he would be healed. After all, he was only 55. It was only three weeks before his death and three weeks after turning 56 (after returning from our son's wedding in Delaware) that his oncologist finally said there was nothing more to do. I notified our son, who was stationed in Japan with the Air Force, but was currently in Australia on his honeymoon. I still couldn't (or wouldn't) wrap my head around the fact that Jeff would soon be gone. We weren't in denial and had talked about what I would do once he was gone. But talking about it and experiencing it are very different, as I was soon to find out.As I began the journey of widowhood, I also began writing down my experiences and feelings. For those who have already been there, you will recognize much of what I went through. For those who have not yet been there, know that when it happens, you are not alone."
