Abstract
Abstract:A hybrid piece of prose interspersed with blank pages, which details the feud between rival poets Pishtaq and Muqarnas in the spring of 1518. The town mayor serves as match officiant, settling on a "3:3" format: three exchanges of three-line poems, where the first line of each poem was "set" by the officiant. Pishtaq's poems were met with applause, whereas Muqarnas' were received less favorably. The exact winner of this match is to this day unknown.
期刊介绍:
MR also has a history of significant criticism of W.E.B. Dubois and Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Egypt issue, published just after 9/11 on social, national, religious, and ethnic concerns, encouraged readers to look beyond stereotypes of terrorism and racism. As part of the run-up to its Fiftieth birthday, MR published a landmark issue on queer studies at the beginning of 2008 (Volume 49 Issue 1&2). The Winter issue was a commemoration of Grace Paley, which is going to be followed by an anniversary issue, art exhibition, and poetry reading in April of 2009.
