Subject: TTHA Poem(s) of the Month for May
Date: May 1, 2004 2:28:57 PM PDT
Earlier today I posted Hardy's "Cynic's Epitaph," "Epitaph on a Pessimist," and "A Necessitarian's Epitaph" as the TTHA Poem(s) of the Month for May, 2004. This discussion will be the first in a series dedicated to Hardy's Epigrams, Epigraphs, Epitaphs, and other pithy sayings in verse. I invite your contributions to an on-line conversation about these first three such poems over the course of the month of May.
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"), October ("Agnosto Theo"), November "A Young Man's Epigram on Existence"), December ("A Poet" and "In the Moonlight"), January ("Afterwards"), February ("Surview"), March ("Why Do I?"), and April ("He Resolves to Say No More"), 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.
The discussions of poems with female narrators ("The Dark-Eyed Gentleman," "She At His Funeral," "Her Confession," "Tess's Lament," "The Pine-Planters," "The Pink Frock," "The Beauty," "I Rose and Went to Rou'tor Town," "An Upbraiding," "The Chapel-Organist," "A Sunday-Morning Tragedy," and "A Trampwoman's Tragedy") have been published in *The Hardy Review*, V (Winter 2002).
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 May of 2004.
cheers,
Bill Morgan

Here is the good news about Kingston Maurward (copied below).
And to those of you who wrote in protest of the new block plans (now
withdrawn) -- many gratitudes. You have helped to save one more beautiful,
historic site from spoilation.
Cheers,
Rosemarie

Continuing in a recent tradition of penetrating, critical reviews, I have just posted to the Reviews Page Robert Schweik's
review of Death, Men, and Modernism by Ariela Freedman. Like Joanna Devereux's Patriarchy and Its Discontents,
Death, Men and Modernism is part of Routledge's "Studies in Major Literary Authors: Outstanding Dissertations" series.
I invite all members to visit the Reviews Page to read this and our other previous reviews.
The Reviews Page is located in the MRR site of the TTHA pages, and can be accessed through the MRR link on the TTHA front page: http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm
I would like to invite responses from any author whose work has been reviewed on the page, past or present.
Because the Reviews Page is on the MRR site, and requires password access, if you are one of the authors in
question and are not a TTHA member, I can provide a copy of the review of your work to you upon request.
If you are a member, but do not have your access number, or if you are interested in becoming a member of TTHA,
please contact Rosemarie Morgan: rosemarie.morgan@yale.edu
If you are an author or publisher and would like to submit materials for review, please contact me at: shannon.rogers@sju.edu
A selection of reviews posted to the site will eventually be published formally in print.
Best,
Shannon
