  • MAL PAL, MEDIA HUB and THEO PAL in the navigation menu above, as well as the dividing membrane between modern and contemporary/postmodern literature/culture/theory is, much in the spirit of postmodern forms of destabilization, fluid and permeable.

  • Modern American Poetry (MAP), a comprehensive learning envinronment and scholarly forum for the study of modern and contemporary American poetry, is also a most useful beginning resource.
