Juvenilia (Yale Series of Younger Poets)

Wed, 16 Jul 2025
This collection, Juvenilia by Ken Chen, is a compilation of poetry from the Yale Series of Younger Poets, featuring a foreword by Louise Glück. The book contains three distinct sections of poems, including "My Father and My Mother Decide My Future and How Could We Forget Wang Wei?", "Banal Love Songs", and "The Invisible Memoir". The works explore complex themes of identity, memory, familial relationships, and the immigrant experience, often employing a unique, fragmented narrative style. Glück's foreword provides critical insights into Chen's innovative approach, highlighting his ability to blend traditional forms with modern sensibilities and his use of displacement as a central metaphor. The acknowledgments also reveal various literary and cultural influences, from Robert Johnson's blues lyrics to ancient Chinese poets like Wang Wei and Li Yu, showcasing the breadth of the material that informs Chen's poetic vision.

Justice, Dissent, and the Sublime

Wed, 16 Jul 2025
Explores the relationship between aesthetics—specifically the concepts of beauty and the sublime—and notions of justice, politics, and social organization. It argues against the common association of beauty with social justice, reciprocity, and shared identity, proposing instead that the sublime, with its emphasis on asymmetry and disagreement, offers a more compelling framework for understanding dissent and social critique. The book analyzes how these aesthetic principles operate in Romantic-era literature, such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and works by Coleridge and Charlotte Smith, as well as in contemporary critical theories, including queer theory, cosmopolitanism, and animal studies, highlighting how prevailing ideas of beauty often implicitly reinforce normative social structures and exclusions. Ultimately, it suggests that a sublime perspective can foreground individual and collective challenges to established norms, fostering a broader conception of justice.
