Notre Dame Review
Since its founding in 1995, Notre Dame Review has
become one of America's leading literary magazines. Dana Gioia,
chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, has written, \"It
really has become one of the most interesting journals in the
country.\" This anthology consists of representative poetry and
fiction from its first ten years of publication. Like the magazine
itself, the collection includes work by well known authors-Seamus
Heaney, Paul Muldoon, and Czeslaw Milosz among the poets; Marilyn
Krysl, Arturo Vivante, Frances Sherwood, R. D. Skillings, and
Richard Elman, among the fiction writers-while also making room for
exciting work by new and emerging writers, some of whom are former
Notre Dame MFA students. The anthology also includes poetry and
prose by several winners of the Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry and
the Richard Sullivan Prize in Short Fiction, works that have set
standards of excellence for writers and readers around the
country.
Contributors to this anthology represent a wide range of styles
and aesthetic orientations. The reader will find in this collection
poems and stories that challenge, surprise, comfort, discomfort,
and delight-each in its own unique way.
Poetry and fiction from the Notre Dame Review have
appeared in Best American Short Stories , Best American
Poetry , the Pushcart Prize volumes, and Harper's
Magazine , among many other publications.

The Part and the Whole in Early American Literature, Print Culture, and Art
The essays in this pathbreaking collection consider the significance of varied early American fragmentary genres and practices-from diaries and poetry, to almanacs and commonplace books, to sermons and lists, to Indigenous ruins and other material shards and fragments-often overlooked by critics in a scholarly privileging of the \"whole.\" Contributors from literary studies, book history, and visual culture discuss a host of canonical and non-canonical figures, from Edward Taylor and Washington Irving to Mary Rowlandson and Sarah Kemble Knight, offering insight into the many intellectual, ideological, and material variations of \"form\" that populated the early American cultural landscape. As these essays reveal, the casting of the fragmentary as aesthetically eccentric or incomplete was a way of reckoning with concerns about the related fragmentation of nation, society, and self. For a contemporary audience, they offer new ways to think about the inevitable gaps and absences in our cultural and historical archive.
