Crystal Flowers: Poems and a Libretto / Stettheimer, Florine., 2010

 Item
Identifier: CC-58752-10001988
Scope and Contents Edited by Irene Gammel and Suzanne Zelazo. Florine Stettheimer (1871-1944) was an American modernist of German-Jewish heritage living in New York. She was a painter, designer, and poet. Together with her sisters Ettie and Carrie, Stettheimer hosted a legendary salon on the Upper West Side, where they entertained the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Carl Van Vechten, Henri McBride, and Georgia O'Keeffe. In 1934 Stettheimer designed the set and costumes for Gertrude Stein's opera Four Saints in Three Acts to much acclaim. In 1949, Ettie collected Florine's poems in CRYSTAL FLOWERS, a privately printed, elegant edition of 250. In addition to these rare poems, this new volume offers formerly unpublished material culled from archives, including three new poems and Stettheimer's libretto for her ballet ?Orphee of the Quat-z-arts.? Gammel and Zelazo have re-situated this overlooked poet among her modernist sisters, presenting her as an important practitioner of a modernism that integrates...

Curriculum Vitae VII B / Phillips, Tom., 1987

 Item
Identifier: CC-04838-4931
Scope and Contents This work is a varient of Curriculum Vitae VII which was exhibited in the Phillips retrospective at the Royal Academy in London 1992. Phillips' use of "Words-words! Make me a rose" in this painting is derived from page 353 in the original and first revised edition of "A Humument." The poetic autobiographic statement of Phillips' elementary school days was composed by Phillips himself. The underlying text of Phillips' poem depicts the word "Llareggub." In 1954, the BBC broadcast Dylan Thomas's play Under Milk Wood, apparently unaware of the fact that the name of the fictional Welsh town Llareggub described in the play was an ingenious literary back-slang creation, namely, "bugger all" spelled backwards. The taboo nature of "bugger" is marked by the fact that Brophy and Partridge felt it necessary to dash the word in their 1931 compilation of military slang. Up until 1934, one could be fined or imprisoned for saying or writing "bugger" and has even been called "one of the most...
