HARDY FORUM ARCHIVE H0079 10/3/00 "OCTOBER 2000 ANNOUNCEMENTS" ======================================================= Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 20:58:20 -0500 From: Bill Morgan Subject: TTHA Poem(s) of the Month for October On Monday evening I posted Hardy's "The Last Chrysanthemum" and "The Year's Awakening" as the TTHA Poem(s) of the Month for October, 2000. This discussion will be the tenth in a series dedicated to Hardy pieces about the meaning and poetic uses of the natural world. You can find the TTHA Poem of the Month Discussion by following the links from the main TTHA page at http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm or by going directly to http://netforum.ilstu.edu/cgi-bin/netforum/ths/a/1/ Whichever route you take, when you arrive at the Poem of the Month site, you will encounter a program called NetForum which will give you the opportunity to read the poems as well as any comments they may have generated, compose a response, preview your response, edit it further if you like, and finally submit your contribution by clicking on the button labeled Post the Message. (*DON'T use the Reset Message button*; you will lose your work.) If you are composing an intricate or long response, you may want to prepare your message in a word processing program, then copy it to your clipboard before pasting it into the message area of NetForum. And if you prefer, feel free to send me your contribution as an e-mail, and I will post it for you: wwmorgan@ilstu.edu. While the discussions for February, 1998 through November 1999 have been "closed" and their contents edited and published in *The Hardy Review* [I:1 (July 1998) and 2:1 (Summer 1999)] and while the conversations from 1999 about the "Emma" poems are currently being edited for publication, the discussions of "Channel Firing" (January), "Satires of Circumstance in 15 Glimpses" (March), "After the Visit" and "To Meet, or Otherwise" (May), "A Singer Asleep" (July), "Nature's Questioning" (January), "The Mother Mourns" (February), "The Subalterns" (March), "The Lacking Sense" (April), "In a Wood" (May), and "To Outer Nature" and "June Leaves and Autumn" (June), "Wagtail and Baby" and "On a Midsummer Eve" (July), "Afterwards" (August), and "Shut Out That Moon" (September) are still open, and your contributions are invited. Welcome to the October 2000 TTHA Poem of the Month Discussions. cheers, Bill Morgan ========== Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 07:38:06 -0800 From: Betty Cortus Subject: Halloween Here are a few haunting lines from our poet for the season: I rose up as my custom is On the eve of All-Soul's day, And left my grave for an hour or so To call on those I used to know Before I passed away. . . . A Happy Halloween to All, Betty ========== Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2000 20:06:15 -0500 From: Rosemarie Morgan Subject: Hardy Companion Author-contributors to the Hardy Companion will already have this note from Norman Page, but there are probably many more readers out there who might be able to give him feedback -- hence this note.
