• Against Stoicism

    Anna Lena Phillips Bell

    Fall 2019

    An itch, untouched,
    will twitch and wail

    till an answering scratch
    unhitches hell.

    A tempered squeal
    can conjure oil.

    Anna Lena Phillips Bell is the author of Ornament, winner of the Vassar Miller Prize. Her poems have appeared in 32 Poems, Quarterly West, the Arkansas International, and the Southern Review.

    1899 | The Dress

    Claudia Prado translated by Rebecca Gayle Howell

    Two boys drag
    their mounts of wool
    and leather in the dirt,
    whispering They are
    not yet students of cruelty
    or imitation

    Sprawl

    Language is central to the development of science. Ideas are communicated through language, but they are also defined by language, and nowhere more so than in the case of immunity. The double meaning of immunity—resistance from infection or disease, but also exemption from a rule or penalty—inscribes a legal element into our scientific understanding of the body and its systems. The parallel between physical and social bodies, the ways in which they are defined and policed, was not difficult to see.
