April 24, 2025 Hart Crane's Poetry: "Appollinaire lived in Paris, I live in Cleveland, Ohio"

April 24, 2025 Harm's Way: Tragic Responsibility and the Novel Form
This scholarly work, Harm's Way, examines the intricate relationship between accident, injury, and responsibility as depicted in the realist novel from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century.
