	QLRS: Uncertainty and Scepticism in Arthur Yap \| Vol. 1 No. 4 Jul 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In this poem, Yap casts doubt over the certainties inherent in policies of urban renewal and industrialisation, by suggesting a new sense of the importance of alternative narratives about the sense of a collective or communal past otherwise ignored by the discourses of urban renewal.
		The ambivalence suggests that the poem may or may not contain a sardonic sense of irony and covert dissent aimed exactly at this conditioned-mentality of indifference to “tradition.” It is made deliberately unclear whether the reader should read the last few lines of the poem as ironic or not.
		The contrast between the penultimate line in the poem and the final, longer line emphasises this fragility of the stillness referred to repeatedly in the poem, hinting at the likelihood that such a stillness may be disrupted, with the implication that this inclination for disruption is that which also allows for the possibility of stillness.

	A Gutsy Remake / 'House on Haunted Hill' goes for the gross-out
		``House on Haunted Hill'' was produced by Robert Zemeckis (director of ``Forrest Gump'') and di rected by William Malone, the auteur responsible for ``Scared to Death'' and ``Creature,'' two films I unaccountably missed.
		So in the opening sequence, a flashback to 1931 that tells how the house got haunted in the first place, we are treated to the sight of a doctor operating on a man's stomach without anesthetic.
		The point is, ``House on Haunted Hill'' is the kind of horror movie that's not a bit scary and quite a bit gross.

	[minstrels] The House on the Hill -- Edwin Arlington Robinson
		[minstrels] The House on the Hill -- Edwin Arlington Robinson
		Arlington's keenly observant eye, very much in evidence in his character-based poems, seems to have deserted him here; the images don't quite ring true, or evoke the mood the poet is trying for.
		Indeed, the main reason I like this poem is as an example of how clever wordplay, meaning twists and grammatical tricks are not necessary in order to write a villanelle, nor is any sort of self-reference, humour or allusion to the form.

	On "The House on the Hill"
		Richards, with impatience showing through his jocularity "Good heavens, no! ‘The House on the Hill’ is no house that ever was, and least of all a stone house still in good order.
		Neff, similarly specific, finds in the poem "a contemporary local tragedy—the forsaking of the East for the broader lands and wider opportunities of the West" (p 53).
		In 'The House on the Hill', the bleakness issues from the sense that, now that the house in question is in 'ruin and decay' and its inhabitants are departed, any comment seems a superfluous gesture.

	[minstrels] Fern Hill -- Dylan Thomas
		And then to awake, and the farm, like a wanderer white With the dew, come back, the cock on his shoulder: it was all Shining, it was Adam and maiden, The sky gathered again And the sun grew round that very day.
		It's the same philosophy which informs much of his work [2], but it's kept from sounding trite by the quality of his verse - phrases such as 'holy streams' and 'fields of praise' resonate with an almost religious awe in the face of the glory and majesty of life.
		George Macbeth has this to say about Thomas (and his comments are particularly apt in light of today's poem): "Whether or not he 'died of drink', whether or not he was unusually debauched, whether he was a great saint or a great sinner, are not questions of much importance for the assessment of his verse.

		The top of Blackford Hill, a mile to the south, was the one place where the dust was not oppressive, and Winifred and 5-year-old Hillary spent many afternoons up there.
		The builder was encouraging; yes, of course he could build a house to an architect's design (but some of it he did his own way in the end).
		Eventually the contract was signed, a bulldozer flattened the site in October, 1959, and the house became ours on the 31st of March 1961: the first 'modern' house in Edinburgh that could be seen from a bus route, its windows reflecting the sky and its wooden mullions echoing the trees on the hillside above.

	WILLA Volume 6 - Reading the Neighborhood: Community as Text in "The House on Mango Street"
		The House on Mango Street is the story of the coming-of-age of Esperanza, a girl "about ten or eleven years old" (Sanchez 222), in the Mango Street barrio.
		As another part of her self-creating, Esperanza quits the Sunday walks with the family that helped to shape her dream, "a house on a hill like the ones with the gardens where Papa works" (86).
		She will come back, as Alicia and the three aunts emphasized, but how she returns, through her writing or in person, will be her own choice, a choice which appears to be in keeping with Schweickart's optimistic ending, "a means for building and maintaining connections among women" (56).

	Fern Hill, Poetry, Free Essays @ ChuckIII College Resources
		A sense of peace and awe is evoked as the writer remembers awaking each morning to the sight of the farm, "the meadow white with dew", the sounds of the rooster crowing, the horses whinnying as they walked out of the stables on to the warm, sunny fields.
		Then the poem brings us back to the present reality; the young and carefree believe they will live forever, that life will always be this carefree; "Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long, in the sun born over and over, I ran my heedless ways".
		The last three lines of the poem bring us to the poignant reality of the joys and sadness of life, "Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, time held me green and dying though I sang in my chains like the sea".

		Apparently much time was spent discussing the new security arrangements at Parliament House, which not only require MPs and senators to subject their own persons to security scans for the first time (gasp!) but also introduces a card-operated security boom-gate at the entrance to the car parks.
		Thousands of Parliament House employees were startled to get a lengthy chain-letter email yesterday from Liberal Senator Alan Eggleston, containing a poem purportedly written by "a terminally ill young girl in a New York hospital".
		The email, which displays the poem with a treacly background of fluttering butterflies and electronic music, implores the recipient to mail it to as many people as possible, because "with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate three cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan".

		poem by popular writer Will Carleton: "Over the hill to the poorhouse I'm trudgin' my weary way."(1) Actually, the institution of the town farm, in Otisfield as everywhere else, was an optimistic move, part of a reform intended to solve the perennial problem of how towns and counties could best care for their poor.
		Yet the first priority of the superintending couple was to run the farm profitably, a goal which sometimes must have compromised their care of the residents.
		Nevertheless, the poor farm was neither a reformatory for the shiftless nor a house of horrors.

	villanelle
		A villanelle (or occasionally villonelle) is a traditional poem from which entered English-language poetry in the late 1800s from the imitation of French models.
		While it is sometimes claimed that the form is named for the French poet François Villon (1431-1474), most experts agree that the form derives from a round sung by farmhands and that the name comes from the Latin villa, (farm) and villano (farmhand) via the Italian villanella.
		Medieval villanelles were of variable form and the earliest known villanelle in the modern form is a poem about a turtledove by Jean Passerat (1534-1602).

	Caribbean Writer On Line BOOK REVIEW -
		Transported to a fictional West Indian island where daily life on the Hill, in the gap, down the gulley and in the sugar cane brakes is hard but rhythmical, steeped in age-old unwritten laws, customs and attitudes, we are told, through the spirit-narrator Cudgoe, an amazing tale.
		And we are taken to the house of the husky-voiced obeah woman, where the boychild Kwame learns he "has the gift." The exquisite episode of Lionel and his drum.
		This is firsthand writing that enchants us with its melodious language, enthralls us with its depictions of simple joys (when a threadbare shirt is better than no shirt at all), a reverence for life because it is better than death—writing that pulls us in until we become participants.

		It shows a fl and tan shepherd's collie, lying with his chest pressed against the side of his dead master's coffin, his chin resting forlornly on the coffin lid that the fl and white checked shepherd's plaid is draped across.
		The scene takes place on the hill behind the "fl house" in which the woman supposedly lived.
		The house has a thatched roof and no chimney, and we can see the smoke escaping through the thatch, a phenomenon that left soot behind under the roof and gave the house its name.
