Of Interest: The Library Phantom
An anonymous artist in Edinburgh has left a number of beautiful sculptures, made from and inspired by books, in literary locations around the city. The sculptures were accompanied by small notes expressing support for books, stories and creativity:
"A gift in support of libraries, books, works, ideas... Once upon a time there was a book and in the book was a nest and in the nest was an egg and in the egg was a dragon and in the dragon was a story..."

Publication News: Michelle Brooks
Creative Writing instructor Michelle Brooks has recently had her book of poetry, Make Yourself Small, published with The Backwaters Press.
"One might be forgiven for thinking that the almost universally dark subject matter of these eloquent poems—rape and its aftermath, murder, aberrant psychology, divorce, suicide—might make for gloomy reading. Banish the thought! These poems perfectly encompass both the surrounding darkness and the inextinguishable candle that is lit against it. They are not about life so much as they are the stuff of life itself. Savor them and take heart."—Pinckney Benedict, author of Miracle Boy and Other Stories

Gail Houston: Publication News
In Victorian Women Writers, Radical Grandmothers, and the Gendering of God, recently accepted by Ohio State University Press for publication, I assert that if Victorian women writers yearned for authorial forebears, or, in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s words, for “grandmothers,” perhaps that longing had something to do with what Barrett referred to as “mother-want,” a sense of the actual and metaphorical absence of a maternal entity (Letters of EBB, ed. Kenyon 1: 232). While a multitude of orphans crowd the pages of Victorian fiction, anecdotal and statistical evidence testify to the all too common incidence of mothers felled by childbirth. But, as my study shows, “mother-want” is also inextricably connected to what I call “mother-god-want,” for, as I suggest, the lack of an earthly maternal presence also exacerbated the need for a Mother in Heaven, which Victorian Protestantism was unprepared to supply. The women writers taken up here--Barrett Browning, Charlotte Brontë, Florence Nightingale, Anna Jameson, and George Eliot--respond to this lack by imagining symbolic female divinities that allowed them to acquire the authorial legitimacy patriarchal culture denied them. If these writers confronted a want of earthly and divine mothers, I suggest that there were grandmothers who, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, envisioned powerful female divinities that would reconfigure society in dramatic ways. These millenarians and socialist feminists felt that the time had come for women to bring about the earthly paradise patriarchal institutions had failed to establish. Recuperating a symbolic divine in the form of the Great Mother, a pagan Virgin Mary, a female messiah, and a titanic Eve, Joanna Southcott, Eliza Sharples, Frances Wright and others set the stage for Victorian women writers to envision and impart emanations of puissant Christian and pagan goddesses. Though the Victorian female authors I study often mask progressive rhetoric, even in some cases seeming to reject these foremothers, their radical genealogy appears in mystic, metaphysical revisions of divinity.

Publication News: Joy Harjo and Tanaya Winder
Wesleyan University Press has just released Soul Talk, Song Language: Conversations with Joy Harjo
by Joy Harjo and Tanaya Winder
Foreword by Laura Coltelli
Joy Harjo is a “poet-healer-philosopher-saxophonist,” and one of the most powerful Native American voices of her generation. She has spent the past two decades creating and exploring her place in poetry, music, dance/performance, and art. Soul Talk, Song Language is a distinctive book, gathering together Harjo’s insights and explorations in the form of interviews and essays, showing how artistic creation can bring about spiritual and cultural renewal.
Harjo reflects upon the nuances and development of her art, the importance of her origins, and the arduous reconstructions of the tribal past, as well as the dramatic confrontation between Native American and Anglo civilizations. She takes us on a journey into her identity as an artist, as a woman, and as Native person. With her work poised between poetry and music, she encompasses her tribal heritage, and causes the reader to pause and reassess the American cultural patrimony.
Harjo’s inspiration is often rooted in ritual and ceremony. Her cultural and family background played important roles in the formation of her art. Soul Talk, Song Language is an exploration of how identity and culture shapes the work of the artist, the language of the poet and musician—not only inspiring the end content of the work, but the creation process itself.
Joy Harjo is a poet, performer, writer, and musician of the Mvskoke/Creek Nation. She has published seven books of acclaimed poetry including She Had Some Horses, In Mad Love and War, The Woman Who Fell from the Sky, and How We Became Human: New and Selected Poems. She has produced five award-winning albums of music and poetry including Letter from the End of the Twentieth Century, Winding through the Milky Way, and Red Dreams: A Trail Beyond Tears. Tanaya Winder is a poet from the Duckwater Shoshone and Southern Ute nations. She is pursuing an MFA in poetry from University of New Mexico and working on her first collection of poetry. Laura Coltelli is a professor of American literature at the University of Pisa, Italy. Her publications include Winged Words, American Indian Writers Speak, and an edited collection of essays, Reading Leslie Marmon Silko.

American Literary Studies Welcomes Dr. Belinda D. Wallace as a Visiting Professor
American Literary Studies is happy to welcome Dr. Belinda Deneen Wallace as a Visiting Professor with a joint position in English and Africana Studies. Dr. Wallace received her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, College Park (2006) and held a postdoctoral fellowship in UNM’s Africana Studies Program from 2007 to 2009.
Dr. Wallace is a post-colonialist who specializes in contemporary Caribbean literature and culture. As a postdoc fellow, she conducted archival research in Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada, and Jamaica in order to advance her research agenda on literary representations of Caribbean revolutionary moments, children’s games as cultural memory, and the role of gender and sexuality in Caribbean nation building. She is currently at work on two projects: an article on the works of Trinidadian novelist Dionne Brand and her book manuscript, Revolutionary Lyricism and the Myth of Female Docility, which examines Afro-Caribbean women’s roles in Caribbean libratory and revolutionary movements.
As a graduate student, Dr. Wallace was the recipient of innovative and dynamic teaching that helped demystify learning, re-contextualized the role of knowledge in her life, and bridged the gap between formal education and public intellectualism. These experiences shaped her as a student and now drive her as a professor. In 2010-2011, she served as a lecturer for the Africana Studies Program and worked for the Division for Equity and Inclusion, where she identified and addressed barriers to Black/African American student and faculty recruitment and retention.
Dr. Wallace teaches Caribbean Women Writers, People and Cultures of the Circum-Caribbean, Blacks in Latin America, 19th and 20th Century African American literature, and Black Feminist Theory. She will be teaching English 297—Later American Literature in Spring 2012.

Natalie Kubasek Garners Latino/a Fellowship and Publication
Natalie Kubasek, a second year doctoral student in American Literary Studies, has been named a recipient of UNM’s 2011-2012 Latino/a Graduate and Professional Student Fellowship. Sponsored by El Centro de la Raza and the Title V Resource Center, the $1,000 award seeks to increase the representation of Latina/o graduate and professional students within the UNM community. The goal is to serve as a support system by making resources, networks, and skills available for the successful completion of the graduate degree.
Also, her article, “‘The Ghosts of Ages Past’: Gothic Doubles and Traumatic Transformation in George Lippard’s ’Bel of Prairie Eden,” has been accepted for publication in Neo-Americanist: An Interdisciplinary Online Journal for the Study of America. The essay, which she penned in Dr. Alemán’s seminar on the American Gothic, argues that the gothic tropes that appear in Lippard’s 1848 sensational text emerge from the uncanny relationship that characterizes the border between the US and Mexico.
Ms. Kubasek joined the doctoral program in Fall 2010 after earning her MA in English from Simmons College, in Boston, MA, and her BA in English from Whittier College, in her hometown of Whittier, CA. Her focus is on Chicano/a Literature, and she will be writing her dissertation on Chicana feminist performance art and theater. Dr. Alemán chairs her Committee on Studies and will serve as her faculty mentor for the Latino/a Graduate and Professional Student Fellowship.

Dr. Daniel Worden Named Visiting Professor in American Literary Studies
ALS is happy to welcome Dr. Daniel Worden as a Visiting Professor of English. Dr. Worden holds a PhD from Brandies University and is on leave from a tenure track position as an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.
Dr. Worden's research and teaching covers American literature and culture from 1880 to the present, with focus on the history of literary and media forms, modernism, and theories of gender and sexuality. He is the author of Masculine Style: The American West and Literary Modernism (2011), which positions the American West and "cowboy masculinity" as central to the emergence of literary modernism. His work on U.S. fiction, comics, and television has been published in Arizona Quarterly, Canadian Review of American Studies, Modern Fiction Studies, and Southern Literary Journal, as well as in the anthologies The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing is a Way of Thinking, A Companion to the Literature and Culture of the American West, and Violence, the Arts, and Willa Cather. He is currently editing two special issues, "Oil Culture" (with Ross Barrett), a collection of essays on representations of the petroleum industry from the nineteenth century to the present, and "Postmodernism, Then" (with Jason Gladstone), a collection of essays reevaluating postmodernism as a historical category that may (or may not) have continued relevance for critics of post-1945 literature. He is also at work on a book, "Cool Realism: The New Journalism and American Literary Culture." Focused on the writings of Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Alex Haley, Michael Herr, Norman Mailer, Gay Talese, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, this book documents the rise of the New Journalism as a literary style in the 1960s and 1970s. Along with American literature from 1865 to the present, his teaching interests include comics and graphic novels, modernism, postmodernism, Western American literature, literary non-fiction, the history of literary criticism, theories of gender and sexuality, periodical studies, and literatures of the American Southwest.
Dr. Worden is teaching for the University Honor’s Program this fall and will offer two classes in the English Department in Spring 2012: English 315—American Masculinities and English 463—Modern American Literature.

Summer Memoir Writing Workshop: Write Your Heart Out
Write Your Heart Out
(Stories based on your life experiences)
A One-week Summer Writing Workshop in El Rito, New Mexico
August 8th to August 12th, 2011
Expected arrival August 7th
Workshop Facilitator Roberta Orona-Cordova
robertao@windstream.net
“It’s such a peaceful place, and there is much to see and do. It’s a great place to get away to and start or finish that story you’ve been meaning to write.” Julie Richie
Where: El Rito, New Mexico, on the campus of Northern New Mexico College. The El Rito campus is 57 miles north of Santa Fe on a 62 acre tract. The elevation is 6,800 feet. Adjacent to the campus is the scenic and peaceful El Rito village that is surrounded by the vast Carson National Forest. 15 miles to the east is the village of Ojo Caliente which is famous for its hot mineral springs. 18 miles to the northwest is Abiquiu, which was settled by the Genizaro indigenous people and is one of the first Spanish land grants (1753) in northern New Mexico.
The school is the largest building in El Rito. The town has a population of 1800 people and 450 houses. There is one restaurant in town, a Catholic church, a vibrant public library, and a post office across the street from the college. This quiet, restful community is ideal for writing.
When: The workshop will begin Sunday evening, August 7th and end Friday, August 12th. Sunday evening there will be an historical introduction to the area—the original Chama Valley. The afternoon of the last day there will be a field trip to witness the tribal corn dance at the Santa Clara pueblo—a celebration of a Native American feast day. If you come from out-of-state you are encouraged to remain in the area for an extra day or two and visit scenic Santa Fe.
Attendees will spend 3 hours in workshop, and free time in the afternoons and evenings for writing.
Tuition: $250.00. Lodging: $36.00 a night. Meals: $150.00 (breakfast, lunch & dinner for 5 days). Barbeque Sunday at night. The college provides pillows and bed linen. There is a small kitchen in the dorm for people who want to cook or prepare snacks.
Deposit of $100.00 is due by July 20th, 2011. Mail deposit to P.O. Box 203, El Rito,
New Mexico 87530.
Transportation: Airfare ranges from $250.00 to $450.00 depending on where you are coming from, and participants fly into Albuquerque which is 2 hours from El Rito.
Attendeses can take a shuttle from the airport to Santa Fe. There will be a one-time pick up on Sunday, August 7th at the Inn of Loretto in Santa Fe.
Writing: You may already be working on narratives based on your life—long or short, i.e., one episode in your life, or a phase in your life. In any case, this is an opportunity to devote focused time to just writing. El Rito is quaint, quiet, and isolated—a perfect setting to write your heart out—new material, or revise what you are already working on. If you are committed to this you should be able to write daily. The workshop hours will be devoted to writing exercises, giving directions and feedback, answering common questions such as, “Is it okay to use real names?” You will be encouraged to read all the work you develop in the workshop. I suggest you read at least one memoir, or two before the workshop begins. Come prepared to share the memoir you are familiar with and/or bring a memoir with you. I’ll be happy to provide you with recommendations.
Main attraction: Northern New Mexico is quite beautiful, especially the Carson National Forest where there are hiking trails, mountains to climb, lakes for fishing, and picnic and camping grounds. You will be one hour from Taos, 25 minutes from the Santa Clara and San Juan Indian pueblos, 15 minutes from the Georgia O’Keefe house, and 20 minutes from the natural hot springs in Ojo Caliente. You are encouraged to bring a swimsuit. Also, there are several Native American pueblos in the area.
Other areas of interest:
. Hacienda of Padre Martinez in Taos
. Art museums in Taos
. Art museums and galleries in Santa Fe
. Indian Market in Santa Fe (mid August)
Note: If interested send an email to – robertao@windstream.net

Publication News: Honors Student Philip Stephens
Philip Stephens
Honors recipient Philip Stephens had a story published in Conceptions Southwest titled, "Vondelpark", using his full pen name of Philip Charles Stephens (unfortunately misspelled in the magazine). He plans to continue work on the story and is hoping for further publication.
Philip's Honors thesis was entitled "Captain Wizzlebeaks: Science Fiction and the Technologized Lens", and he was awarded cum laude. He comments, "it began as a critique of industrial changes in the Gothic but quickly became a sort of Heideggerian look at reality and how it's represented in the technological age. I used the 75'000 word zero draft of my novel to begin my thesis and I'm now 50'000 words into the first draft. It's coming along well and takes up most of my creative energies. Hopefully it will work!"

Of Interest: The Future of Books?
In an English department e-books are, to say the least, a fraught subject. The debate could simplistically (and probably misleadingly) be reduced to that of body - the format of a book (hardback, paperback, e-book) vs soul (content). With the proliferation of the e-reader - Kindle, Nook, Sony's Reader and, of course, the Ipad/Ipod apps that allow readers to use multiple platforms - the e-book is rapidly gaining ground on traditional publishing, bringing the debate into sharp focus.
So, does this Ted presentation demonstrate the possibilities of this new publishing platform, or highlight the problems of a medium that is more flash than substance?

Learning to Write : Writing to Learn
Problem-based Instruction for Academic Literacy
Wanda Martin, Ph. D., Associate Professor of English
Almost all students coming to the University of New Mexico are required to take one or two semesters of first-year composition. Those courses, which focus on the wide range of reading and writing students will do across the disciplines, often place unexpected demands on students, challenging their sense that, having taken English in high school, they know how to write. What do students need to know about texts and be able to do with writing so they can thrive on the diverse challenges of reading and writing in all the disciplines and in the professional workplace?
As universities re-structure first-year writing programs to support writing across the curriculum, and as an increasing fraction of high school graduates seek college education, students need a broader range of strategies than they often develop in literature-based English courses. These seminars will explore how, without neglecting the curriculum of literary study or other content knowledge, teachers can best help students develop the skills of reading, writing, analysis, and problem-solving that will serve them through and beyond their student years.
Informed by readings from the field of composition studies, we’ll work together to understand the demands of college writing in the 21st century and to devise strategies for teaching the skills of critical reading and analytic writing that provide the basis for learning across the disciplines.
Together, we’ll draft progressive assignment sequences that will help students to
Analyze a rhetorical situation and respond appropriately
Gather and report information and arguments about a topic;
Interpret, evaluate, and respond to information and arguments
Produce documents that communicate clearly and logically in a variety of written genres.
Teachers in disciplines other than English are welcome to apply.

To accommodate as many teachers as possible, the seminar will be offered twice.

Session 2: Monday, June 13 – Thursday, June 16
Days and Hours:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:00 to 3:30 p.m.

Learning to Write : Writing to Learn
Problem-based Instruction for Academic Literacy
Wanda Martin, Ph. D., Associate Professor of English
Almost all students coming to the University of New Mexico are required to take one or two semesters of first-year composition. Those courses, which focus on the wide range of reading and writing students will do across the disciplines, often place unexpected demands on students, challenging their sense that, having taken English in high school, they know how to write. What do students need to know about texts and be able to do with writing so they can thrive on the diverse challenges of reading and writing in all the disciplines and in the professional workplace?
