First, a poem must be magical,

Then musical as sea gull.

It must be a brightness moving

And hold secret a bird's flowering.

It must be slender as a bell,

And it must hold fire as well.

It must have the wisdom of bows

And it must kneel like a rose.

It must be able to hear

The luminance of dove and deer.

It must be able to hide

What it seeks, like a bride.

And over all I would like to hover

God, smiling from the poem's cover.

To create sense of doom

Just a kid

Unbelievable

Sweet

Talented

In love with him

Never say never or nice

Born to be somebody

Igniting my life

Extra hot

Baby

Expensive clothes

Really awesome

Jos Garcia Villa is best known as a modernist Filipino poet who migrated to America in the 1930s. Much critical discussion of Villa in Philippine literary studies has emphasised his narrow concern with aestheticism and his rejection of contemporary demands to politicise artistic production. This paper returns to Villa's first short story collection Footnote of Youth (1933) and argues for a reconsideration of the politics of Villa's modernist aesthetics. In particular, I wish to concentrate on a series of short stories at the end of the collection that present revisionary 'shadow biographies' of revolutionary hero Jos Rizal, whose own life story and novels have attained, in Carol Hau 's words, the status of 'master-narratives' of the Philippine nation, with Rizal himself portrayed as the 'First Filipino'. Apart from engaging in translation across language in a multilingual environment, the short stories are translations in a larger sense. They re-present elements of longer narratives such as biography and indeed the 'biographisation of the social' deployed by the colonial and bourgeois national states in a consciously fragmentary form. Furthermore, they map such biographies onto the lives of ordinary Filipinos in a manner that destabilises them: on a rational level, the claims of filiation made in these stories are preposterous, yet the narrative and literary economies of the texts encourage readerly identification with their subaltern protagonists. In exploring the space of contradiction that Villa's stories occupy, and the manner in which their formal qualities enable a reappraisal of this space, this paper also to makes a larger argument concerning the frequently neglected centrality of the short story and life-writing in exploring national imaginaries under late colonialism, and encourages reflection on the manner in which biographisation is an unacknowledged subtext in contemporary postcolonial literary studies.

Yes, Shakespeare wrote in blank verse which

As you may know is just a phrase

For unrhymed iambic pentameter.

It is a very natural kind of verse

And easy to write as you can see here.

Prufrock is a tragic hero because we get the sense that he is in on some secret that no one else knows ( his "overwhelming question") but his lack of self-worth prevents him from asking it. He constantly says that there is "time enough", but the last few stanzas allude to time slipping by and Prufrock slipping into senility while the "overwhelming question" is left behind. (We know this because of the contrast between the questions "Do I dare disturb the universe?" and "Do I dare eat a peach?")

Curare for example was developed

By South American indigenous people

From the foliage of the Calebas.

Macusi Indians graded their Curare

As One Tree Curare, Two Tree Curare ... and so on.

To show how many trees a monkey could jump

Before the Curare caused him to stop breathing.

We would call our Curare

One Lesson Curare, Two Lesson Curare .... and so on.

Do teachers breathe?
