Would you ever open up a hardware store? Or a corner grocery, or an electronics store? Would you open the next Radio Shack or Best Buy? I know I wouldn’t. Yet, we’re still all buying hammers, groceries, and cel […]

There’s an old joke in Israel and it goes something like this: “In Israel, a third of the people go to the army, a third pay taxes, and another third go to work. The only problem is that it’s the same third […]

It is a pretty obvious to most people that our preferred leisure activities have reduced the time we spend being active. Kids, as parents lament, are glued to their parents’ ipads. We spend less time ou […]

Yoni Rabinovitch commented on the post, Color in America: Rankine’s Citizen, on the site Honors Intro to Poetry: This American Lyric 2 years, 4 months ago
I think you can definitely see some similarity between Rankine and Ginsberg. Both were writing for very different reasons, but both were protesting. the dedication here is to Trayvon Martin, while Ginsberg dedicated his to Carl Solomon. Both poets feel that the person they are dedicating to have been the victim of society. They are both angry in some way.

Yoni Rabinovitch commented on the post, Protest Poetry, on the site Honors Intro to Poetry: This American Lyric 2 years, 5 months ago
I think the simple fact that this poetry proves that in some way this poem has a comedic element (if that’s a convention). I think it’s playing off the individualistic movement in America. The line begins “they call me skinhead, and I got my own beauty.” This could be making fun of mass market contemporary “life advice.” By placing it in the…[Read more]

Yoni Rabinovitch commented on the post, The “New Sentence” & “Chronic Meanings”, on the site Honors Intro to Poetry: This American Lyric 2 years, 5 months ago
I think that perhaps “Chronic Meaning” by Perelman is the most honest poetry we have read yet. All emotion and tensions of the author are not being obscured with any pretenses about meaning or form. There is nothing holding the words back. It is very much a stream of consciousness. That is what I think the message is, that we are able to glimpse…[Read more]

Yoni Rabinovitch commented on the post, North American Time/Sisters in Arms, on the site Honors Intro to Poetry: This American Lyric 2 years, 5 months ago
I think the “you,” the apostrophe in this poem adds a critical dimension to what is at play here. I agree that it is too simple to say this is simply against racism, and specifically South Africa. Especially in the three opening lines, I think Lorde is making clear that not only are they affected but we are affected as well. Not only are they to…[Read more]

Yoni Rabinovitch commented on the post, Diving Into the Wreck, on the site Honors Intro to Poetry: This American Lyric 2 years, 5 months ago
Yes! loving the cynicism. The extended metaphor is laid out too neatly. Besides, I’ve been scuba diving. You feel so alive and at one with nature there’s no way during those moments anyone is feeling depressed (but that’s a technicality). Everything in this poem is too easy. Furthermore, on a note of personal taste, I found the beginning of her…[Read more]

I’m not sure I can bring clear, textual evidence, but we had discussed in class that this poem was revolutionary in terms of bringing the issue of homosexuality out in the open in an otherwise conservative, conformist society. Perhaps the lack of recognizable meter and breaking away from previously used forms that Deborah mentioned is indicative…[Read more]
