Here is the continuation of Martha Ronk's life-long investigation of things as they are seen at a remove or seen not at all as in the presence of silence. Always hesitant, skeptical, her poetry circles the world the way a blind seer might. In this new collection, she follows the thread of Ariadne through the hands of men who jerk and steer her. - Fanny Howe, author of Second ChildhoodInspired by De Chirico's series of paintings depicting Ariadne, Martha Ronk writes, "Her sleeping is like waking, she is listening to whatever is said." And in this stunning new collection, A Myth of Ariadne, the poems ponder this abandoned figure who, even in her cool and classical repose, embodies history-its progress and its traumas. Placed within the poems' prosceniums, we partake of Ariadne's distracted and absorptive reflections even as catastrophe looms. Ever broadening her characteristic philosophical acuity, Ronk amplifies somatic gestures as she follows her thread to navigate conundrums of identity and perception. -Molly Bendall, author of Under the QuickThe poems in A Myth of Ariadne address De Chirico's Ariadne paintings: the myth and then the particular way De Chirico presents her as a sexualized statue threatened by intrusions of locomotives, ships, shadows, conspirators. Ronk's series, like his series, depends on the technique of disjunction, and exists in the space between the paintings, De Chirico's memoir and poems, and a jangled depiction of a woman's history.Martha Ronk has published eleven books of poetry, including most recently Silences, Ocular Proof, and Transfer of Qualities, as well as the short story collection Glass Grapes and Other Stories, and a semi-autobiographical book on food, Displeasures of the Table. For many years, she taught creative writing and directed the campus-wide creative writing program at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

The oldest independent periodical in the field, COMPOSITION STUDIES publishes original articles relevant to rhetoric and composition, including those that address teaching college writing; theorizing rhetoric and composing; administering writing programs; and, among other topics, preparing the field's future teacher-scholars. All perspectives and topics of general interest to the profession are welcome. We also publish Course Designs, which contextualize, theorize, and reflect on the content and pedagogy of a course. Contributions to Composing With are invited by the editor, though queries are welcome (send to compstudies@uc.edu). Cfps, announcements, and letters to the editor are most welcome. Composition Studies does not consider previously published manuscripts, unrevised conference papers, or unrevised dissertation chapters.

As America begins dialing back the Trump-era restrictions that all but eliminated asylum for immigrants fleeing violence and seeking protection in the U.S., this volume of fifty powerful images, with captions in English and Spanish, documents the interfaith grassroots movement that never gave up on the Statue of Liberty's poetic pledge to welcome the world's "huddled masses, yearning to breathe free."Faces of Courage: Ten years of Building Sanctuary chronicles the first ten years of the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia, a coalition of twenty-eight congregations, which builds community across religious, ethnic, and class lines to end injustices against all immigrants, documented or otherwise. The book follows New Sanctuary supporters as they demand policy changes with sit-ins at City Hall, consciousness-raising marches, and protests outside the Philadelphia field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It goes behind the scenes into the churches where families facing deportation took refuge. It provides a visual record of New Sanctuary's campaign for driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants, and its "accompaniment" program to support immigrants at their court hearings.A Foreword by former Philadelphia Inquirer immigration writer Michael Matza and Afterword by Honduran-born, West Kensington Ministry Pastor Adan Mairena provide historical context in English and Spanish.Harvey Finkle, widely recognized as a Philadelphia treasure, is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's School of Social Policy & Practice. His photography, which has documented immigration to the city since the 1970s, has been hailed as "visual anthropology." His archives are a graphic record of the successive waves of settlement, mostly in South Philadelphia, by European Jews, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Burmese, Mexicans, Central Americans and other immigrants and refugees.Working and Writing for Change SeriesEdited by Steve Parks and Jessica Pauszek
