Minsk : Poems

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description From the London Zoo to an Essex village and the Arctic Circle, Greenlaw explores elements of place-the child-hood landscapes we leave behind, those we travel toward, and those that we believe to be missing from our lives. Greenlaw`s restless, inquisitive tone builds to make Minsk a hypnotic collection from one of the leading poets of her generation. Camel Hair Every few years it becomes a question of backbone. Anhedonia, not love of winter but a loss ofthe feel of the world, a way ahead of the cold. Even the cells refuse to talk to one another. As black and white as a two-hour wait on the kerb of a six-lane arterial road, in a secondhand straw-coloured Dior coat, for the last bus and its overload to accelerate past out of its own well-oiled backsplash.

Miracles and Sacrilege: Roberto Rossellini, the Church, and Film Censorship in Hollywood

2008 y.
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
Description: Miracles and Sacrilege is the story of the epochal conflict between censorship and freedom in film, recounted through an in-depth analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court`s decision striking down a government ban on Roberto Rossellini`s film The Miracle (1950). In this extraordinary case, the Court ultimately chose to abandon its own longstanding determination that film comprised a mere `business` unworthy of free-speech rights, declaring for the first time that the First Amendment barred government from banning any film as `sacreligious.` Using legal briefs, affidavits, and other court records, as well as letters, memoranda, and other archival materials to elucidate what was at issue in the case, William Bruce Johnson also analyzes the social, cultural, and religious elements that form the background of this complex and hard-fought controversy, focusing particularly on the fundamental role played by the Catholic Church in the history of film censorship. Tracing the development of the… [detailed...]
