GEOFFREY HILL, Per chi non è caduto: Poesie scelte 1959-2006.
No full textThe essay examines Marco Fazzini’s edition of Geoffrey Hill’s poetry and offers an overview of Hill’s career. Taking as a basis Fazzini’s translation of many of the aural effects in his poetry, the essay pays close attention to Hill’s own language, exploring the close interweaving of words of Latinate origin and those of Anglo-Saxon or northern origin, and the poet’s frequent use of hyphenated structures (as acutely analysed by Christopher Ricks). The essay pays tribute to Fazzini’s translations; while recognising that inevitably some of the word-play, so crucial to Hill’s poetry, is lost, Fazzini’s versions frequently find ingenious ways to match the semantic richness of the original compositions

Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, Volume: 150In this paper I want to take you on a walk through a garden. It is, to be sure, an imaginary garden; nevertheless, it bears a significance which extends beyond itself.

The garden in question appears in the Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs.[...
An Evening with Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory, Civil Rights Activist, Nutritionist, Comedian, and Author
No full textGregory, Richard Claxton “Dick” (Born, October 12, 1932, St. Louis, Mo.), African American comedian and civil rights activist whose social satire changed the way white Americans perceived African American comedians since he first performed in public. Gregory’s autobiography, Nigger, was published in 1963 prior to The assassination of President Kennedy, and became the number one best-selling book in America. Over the decades it has sold in excess of seven million copies. His choice for the title was explained in the forward, where Dick Gregory wrote a note to his mother. “Whenever you hear the word ‘Nigger’,” he said, “you’ll know their advertising my book.” In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed weight loss products. In 1987 Gregory introduced the Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet, a powdered diet mix, which was immensely profitable. Economic losses caused in part by conflicts with his business partners led to his eviction from his home in 1992. Gregory remained active, however, and in 1996 returned to the stage in his critically acclaimed one-man show, Dick Gregory Live! The reviews of Gregory’s show compared him to the greatest stand-ups in the history of Broadway
