Petrarch Collected Atkins
No full textResearched over four years as a practice-led PhD. Atkins created, collected and collated 73 methods of creative translation practice extrapolating and expanding methods initially outlined by Horace and Petrarch, and more famously by Ezra Pound. The 73 methods were divided into seven areas and applied to Petrarch’s Canzoniere (and multiple English translations), the methods expanding the source texts into 400+ poems. The collection blurs the line between original writing/translation, using 30+ English translations of The Canzonierefrom Chaucer through to David Young’s 2005 version. Petrarch Collected Atkinsis internationally-acknowledged as a major contribution to contemporary creative translation

Great Expectations: youth transitions in troubled times
No full textThis paper draws on an empirical study conducted in the UK to explore some of the issues surrounding young people on the lowest level VET programmes and make suggestions about ways in which the learner experience at this level might be enhanced. UK policy perception of young people undertaking low level VET programmes in Further Education (FE) colleges tends to characterise them within a deficit model of social exclusion, disaffection and disengagement(Colley, 2003:169). Many have special educational needs (Atkins, 2013a). They have been the focus of multiple initiatives in both the context of the New Labour 14-19 agenda, and more recently in the Coalition governments response to the Wolf Review of Vocational Education (2011). These initiatives have largely consisted of the provision of routes through a range of VET opportunities, allegedly to enable young people to engage with the knowledge society (Bathmaker, 2005). This paper problematises these notions of opportunity, drawing on the little stories of four young people to argue that the rhetoric which permeates Government documents fails to consider the significance of young peoples social and educational positioning. Finally, the paper considers the implications of these issues in terms of future practice, policy and research in the UK context

2000 Sub-Librarians Meeting: Ace Atkins and M.C. Beaton
No full textThe Sub-Librarians planned and advertised a program with renowned science fiction and fantasy author Philip Jose Farmer. George Scheetz was instrumental in making that introduction. However, due to ill health, Farmer was unable to travel and had to cancel close to the program date.
However, on very short notice, Ace Atkins agreed to come to Chicago and speak to the group. Atkins had spoken to a very appreciative group of Sub-Librarians the previous year in New Orleans, and he gave another stellar performance in Chicago. He talked about his new book, Leaving\u27 Trunk Blues, which is another Nick Travers mystery, this one set in Chicago, from St. Martin\u27s Press.
St. Martin\u27s also stepped up and offered to have author M.C. Beaton join Ace as a speaker. M.C. Beaton is a pseudonym of Marion Chesney, who may be best known as the author of romance novels set during the English Regency. Her first detective story as M.C. Beaton came out for St. Martin\u27s in 1985. She has two series-one set in Scotland with Hamish Macbeth and one set in the Cotswolds with Agatha Raisin.
St. Martin\u27s generously provided copies of both authors\u27 books for signing after the program.
Marsha Pollak chaired the program, welcomed the audience, explained the change in speakers, called for toasts and introduced the authors
