And quipus have been my recent vehicle to explore what language can do. The eleventh edition of the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a quipu as “a device made of a main cord with smaller varicolored cords attached and knotted and used by the ancient Peruvians (as for calculating).” The word quipu is from Quechua and means knot I became interested in quipus many years ago when I discovered that quipus might encode language. In my last book, Quipu (Copper Canyon Press, 2005), I was interested in harnessing dyed strings of language along with forms of knotting. One form of knotting, it seemed to me, could be simple anaphoric repetition. In the next-to-last section of “Didyma,” I used the word “because” fifteen times to initiate a series of causes, then I used a section divider to create a gap before presenting fifteen different effects. Because no cause leads clearly to a subsequent effect, no one is able to see the universal nexus of causes and effects. In the title poem, “Quipu,” I employed a different form of knotting where the word “as” is used again and again, with varying meanings. The

I see no reason to spend your life writing poems unless your goal is to write great poems... 2. If I recommend ambition, I do not mean to suggest that it is easy or pleasurable... 5. True ambition in a poet seeks fame in the old sense, to make words that live forever..." See "Poetry and Ambition," http://www.poets.org/poems/prose.cfm?prmID=3333 Operating under the premise that Donald Hall is a rational human being, I think that here we have a prime example of Hall as Showman. The argument that one must ambitiously strive to write great poems that live forever is perfectly fine, if it is taken as one of exaggerated showmanship. Sort of like Michael Jordan wagging his tongue in midair on his way to a slam dunk. If the argument is intended to be an intellectual one, then it is far more troublesome. That is, I do not believe that one who spends a lifetime writing poems must write "great" poems, at least in the way that Hall appears to define "great," which is "to make words that live forever." (For the moment, let us pretend that "to make words that live forever" is not a loaded claim.)

Asian American Literature: A Selective Bibliography Anthologies Bibliographies Consulted Chinese American Japanese American ... Korean American 1951-Present Chinese American Japanese American Filipino American Korean American ... Southeast Asian American This bibliography was prepared originally in 1995 at the request of Dr. Sari Miller-Antonio, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Ethnic Studies for use in her classes: Contemporary Asian American Studies and Asian American Images in the Arts and Media . It continues to be updated semi-annually. This bibliography represents primarily fiction written by Asian American writers and is divided into two parts: pre 1950 and post 1950 literature. This division reflects the history of Asian immigration patterns to the US and the growth of Asian American communities. Students in Dr. Miller-Antonio's classes are asked to choose one book from the early literature and one from the post World War II literature and prepare a critical analysis that discusses how the book illustrates the history of Asian immigration to the US or how it explores topics such as representation of Asian American women, ethnicity and identity of self, family and community.
