Tony Hoagland

    Les années de formation d'Anthony Dey Hoagland se sont déroulées sur diverses bases militaires du Sud, façonnées par la carrière de son père médecin de l'armée. Son riche parcours éducatif a inclus des étapes au Williams College, à l'Université de l'Iowa et à l'Université de l'Arizona, où il a obtenu son MFA. Avant de se consacrer pleinement à l'écriture, Hoagland a embrassé une gamme variée d'expériences, du travail agricole dans le Nord-Ouest à la vie en communauté. Il a ensuite contribué au monde littéraire en enseignant l'écriture créative à l'Université de Houston, cultivant ainsi de nouvelles voix.

      The final book of poems by Tony Hoagland, “one of the most distinctive voices of our time” (Carl Dennis).Over the course of his celebrated career, Tony Hoagland ventured fearlessly into the unlit alleys of emotion and experience. The poems in Turn Up the Ocean examine with an unflinching eye and mordant humor the reality of living and dying in a time and culture that conspire to erase our inner lives. Hoagland’s signature wit and unparalleled observations take in long-standing injustices, the atrocities of American empire and consumerism, and our ongoing habit of looking away. In these poems, perseverance depends on a gymnastics of skepticism and comedy, a dogged quest for authentic connection, and the consolations of the natural world. Turn Up the Ocean is a remarkable and moving collection, a fitting testament to Hoagland’s devotion to the capaciousness and art of poetry.

      The motion-picture poster, canned food labels, office calendars, and illustrated postcards are familiar products of lithography, yet many readers may not understand how these items are produced or the labor issues within the industry. This study explores the history of collective bargaining in the lithographic sector, aiming to engage students with labor problems while contributing to a broader understanding of wage bargaining principles. Although the lithographic industry in the U.S. employs fewer workers than larger sectors like steel, it faces unique labor challenges. Nonetheless, every industry has its specific labor issues, and the fundamental principles of wage bargaining are common across all sectors. Understanding the methods employed by both employers and employees in various industries is essential to grasp these general principles that underpin labor contracts.
