Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2003 12:45:01 -0500 From: Bill Morgan <wwmorgan@mail.ilstu.edu> Subject: TTHA Poem of the Month for November
Earlier today I posted Hardy's "A Young Man's Epigram on Existence" as the TTHA Poem of the Month for November, 2003. This discussion will be the third in a series dedicated to the poems that appear last in Hardy's 8 volumes of verse. I invite your contributions to an on-line conversation about the poem--and the idea of ending--over the course of the month.
As usual, 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://webboard.ilstu.edu/~TTHA_POTM_DISCUSSIONS
Whichever route you take, when you arrive at the Poem of the Month site, you will encounter a program called WebBoard, 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 wish, and then post it by using the button labeled Post the Message. 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 WebBoard. 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.
Besides this month's discussion and those of January ("Winter Night in Woodland"), February ("Ice on the Highway"), March ("A Light Snow-Fall After Frost"), April ("The Sheep-Boy"), May ("A Sheep Fair" and "Last Look round St. Martin's Fair"), June ("A Backward Spring," "Last Week in October," and "Shortening Days at the Homestead"), July ("No Buyers" and "An East-End Curate"), August ("Life and Death at Sunrise"), September ("I Look Into My Glass"), and October ("Agnosto Theo"), a full year of conversations in 2002 about some of Hardy's sonnets are available at the site: April ("Hap"), May ("At a Lunar Eclipse"), June ("She, to Him, I-IV"), July ("Her Reproach" and "Her Confession"), August ("To an Actress" and "To an Impersonator of Rosalind"), September ("In the Old Theatre, Fiesole," "Rome: On the Palatine," and "Rome: Building a New Street in the Ancient Quarter"), October ("Embarcation" and "Departure), November ("The Pity of It" and "Often When Warring"), and December ("We Are Getting to the End" and "Thoughts from Sophocles").
The discussions of Hardy's memorial and holiday poems from August 2001 ("The Last Signal"), September ("Rome: At the Pyramid of Cestius" and "Shelley's Skylark"), October ("At a House in Hampstead" and "At Lulworth Cove a Century Back"), November ("To Shakespeare: After Three Hundred Years"), December ("Lausanne: In Gibbon's Old Garden" and "George Meredith"), January 2002 ("A New Year's Eve in War Time"), February ("The Oxen"), March ("A Drizzling Easter Morning") are also posted at the site and open for contributions.

All of the older discussions will remain posted at the site until such time as they are moved to the Members' Resource section of the TTHA website or edited and published in either *The Hardy Review* or in one of TTHA's Occasional Papers. 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)]. Likewise, the conversations from 1999 about the "Emma" poems have been published as the second of the TTHA Occasional Series. And those concerning "Channel Firing," "Satires of Circumstance in 15 Glimpses," "After the Visit," "To Meet, or Otherwise," and "A Singer Asleep" have been published in *The Hardy Review*, III (Summer 2000). The discussions of "Nature's Questioning," "The Mother Mourns," "The Subalterns," "The Lacking Sense," "In a Wood," "To Outer Nature," "June Leaves and Autumn," "Wagtail and Baby," "On a Midsummer Eve," "Afterwards," "Shut Out That Moon," "The Last Chrysanthemum," "The Year's Awakening," and "The Night of the Dance" have been edited and published in *The Hardy Review*, IV (Summer 2001). All of these publications are available free or at a discounted price to TTHA members and may be ordered by others using an on-line form available at the main TTHA page (see the URL above). Welcome to the TTHA Poem of the Month Discussion for November of 2003.
cheers,

Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 14:22:42 -0500 From: Rosemarie Morgan <rosemarie.morgan@yale.edu> Subject: RE:Contributions to *The Hardy Review, VI* (2003)
Greetings All:
I've just finished editing and preparing for publication, in *The Hardy Review,VI (2003)*, a selection of TTHA's Poem of the Month's debates on the "Camera's Eye" poems.
Selected contributors are named as follows (below). If you would like to preview your contribution please contact me privately and a proof copy will be sent to you. If you'd like to change /revise any part of your portion you may have this option if it does not affect ensuing conversations. If you do make (acceptable) changes please keep to the same para/page length (Editor's decision is final).
Some entries have been cut, others reorganised or restructured in the interests of coherence and overall elegance. I have tried to retain the individual "voice" of each speaker - including preferred spelling (American/English) and punctuation where this does not obstruct meaning.
*The Hardy Review,* is, as you know, a scholarly journal (free to TTHA members : http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/memform.htm) available for individual and library acquisition -- I understand from Martin Ray that a highly favourable review of Volume V will be appearing in the next edition of *The Hardy Journal*.
POTM contributors to *The Hardy Review, VI, (2003)* may, if preferred, adopt a pseudonym or anonymity. Thank you, one and all, for your stimulating conversations on TTHA's POTM. It is your contributions which have made the POTM the unique scholarly resource it has become. Deepest thanks too, to Professor William Morgan for his unfailing generosity and intellectual verve in keeping the POTM alive and kicking even on the darkest day!
With every good wish,
Rosemarie Morgan.
