Mississippi Rubicon
|
Dorothy Louise leaves one life behind for a new one, in “Mississippi Rubicon.” An actor tries to reason with a director in Caitlin O’Neil‘s “Woman in Bar #2.” And Bonnie Jill Emanuel lives the storm across three seasons and in three poems including “Crossing Harlem, Bus in a Spring Storm.”
A series of woodcuts from an 18th-century chapbook entitled The World Turned Upside Down or The Folly of Man, Exemplified in Twelve Comical Relations upon Uncommon Subjects. As well as the amusing woodcuts showing various reversals (many revolving around the inversion of animal and human relations) there is also included a poem on the topic. The chapbook is reproduced in the wonderful Chapbooks of the Eighteenth Century (1882) edited by John Ashton, which brings together hundreds of facsimiles of 18th century chapbooks upon a huge range of subjects.
