Item At the center of American modernism: Lola Ridge's politics, poetics, and publishing(2008-09-23T18:18:47Z) Wheeler, Belinda; Kovacik, Karen, 1959-; Schultz, Jane E.; Marvin, Thomas F.Although many of Lola Ridge's poems champion the causes of minorities and the disenfranchised, it is too easy to state that politics were the sole reason for her neglect. A simple look at well-known female poets who often wrote about social or political issues during Ridge's lifetime, such as Edna St. Vincent Millay and Muriel Rukeyser, weakens such a claim. Furthermore, Ridge's five books of poetry illustrate that many of her poems focused on themes beyond the political or social. The decisions by critics to focus on selections of Ridge's poems that do not display her ability to employ multiple aesthetics in her poetry have caused them to present her work one-dimensionally. Likewise, politically motivated critics often overlook aesthetic experiments that poets like Ridge employ in their poetry. Few poets during Ridge's time made use of such drastically varied styles, and because her work resists easy categorization (as either traditional or avant-garde), her poetry has largely gone unnoticed by modern scholars. Chapter two of my thesis focuses on a selection Ridge's social and political poems and highlights how Ridge's social poetry coupled with the multiple aesthetics she employed has played a part in her critical neglect. My findings will open up the discussion of Ridge's poetry and situate her work both politically and aesthetically, something no critic has yet attempted. Chapter three examines Ridge’s role as editor of Modern School, Others and Broom. Ridge's work for these magazines, particularly Others and Broom, places her at the center of American modernism. My examination of Ridge's social poetry and her role as editor for two leading literary magazines, in conjunction with her use of multiple aesthetics, will build a strong case for why her work deserves to be recovered.Item Doubtless You Know ... A Children's Book Adaptation of an Original Poem(Indiana Association for Infant and Toddler Mental Health, 2015) Galvin, Matthew R.; Tomlin, A.; McKnight, R.; Zielke, D.; Galvin, Deborah C.Doubtless You Know tells the story of guanacos, animals who live in the mountains of Chile, a hot, high and dry land where there is little water. We hear their story of surviving and thriving as they share it with a young girl who takes the time to listen. The tale provides many chances to explore concepts that are important to our work with babies and their caregivers from an infant mental health perspective. As you experience the story, you may discover ideas that include the importance of considering multiple perspectives through observing and listening, the idea that we can all help no matter how small, that different kinds of knowing are useful, and that things are very often not as they first seem! We are sure that many of you will find other meanings as you reflect on the story from your own personal perspectiveItem Little Orphant Annie(Riley Children's Health, 2021-10) Schreiner, Richard L.; Stroup, Karen BrunerItem Poesía transatlántica (Syllabus)(2022) Mallorquí-Ruscalleda, EnricItem Poetry as Progress: Balancing Standards-Based Reforms with Aesthetic Inquiry(2011-10-30) Liu, Laura B.; Education, IUPUCThe meaning of "progress" in U.S. educational institutions has undergone much debate (Tyack & Cuban, 1995). Standards-driven practices have often promoted a search for "right" answers in place of critical and diverse thinking. Globalization and its impacts compel us to continue revising and articulating the meaning of progress for 21st century students, educators, and researchers (Ball & Tyson, 2011). This aesthetic empirical inquiry (Pinar, 2004; Ranciere, 2004) contributes to this process by creatively re-presenting teacher voice via bricolage (Denzin & Lincoln, 2003; Kincheloe, 2001), specifically poetic bricolage (Trueit, 2004). The pursuit of aesthetic approaches to research have the potential for re-shaping national notions of progress to emphasize the cultivation of creativity, understanding, and empathy across lines of difference, and thereby support 21st century global communities in collaborating to address inequity.Item Social Work Is Life, Life Is Social Work(2016) Gentle-Genitty, Carolyn
