But we\u2019ve still got an old friend kicking around\u2014the barf bag. In these uncertain times, Hollywood\u2019s horror filmmakers still turn to sick bags as a primo promotional gag. For there is still vomit in this realm, and still a need to contain it in the face of extreme spectacle. Cara Buckley writes: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/22\/movies\/bring-out-the-barf-bags-and-other-promotional-stunts.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">After a moviegoer apparently vomited during a Los Angeles screening of the French coming-of-age cannibal flick, <em>Raw<\/em>, the theater began handing out barf bags<\/a> \u2026 The move is a vintage publicity stunt going back some fifty years. Among\u00a0<u><a href=\"http:\/\/popcornhorror.com\/horror-movie-barf-bags\/\">the standout bags<\/a><\/u>\u00a0in movie history: The keepsake vomit bag from the 1963 splatter film <em>Blood Feast<\/em> came with an encouragement, \u2018Spill your guts out!\u2019 \u2018Guaranteed to upset your stomach!\u2019 proclaimed the bag from the 1981 Italian film <em>Cannibal Ferox<\/em>. The bag for <em>The Beyond<\/em> (1981) came with the thoughtfully worded warning, \u2018Individuals with sensitive constitutions may experience stomach distress,\u2019 and advised that the bag be used only once and not overfilled.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>For a while, Marianne Moore taught at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, a dubious institution in Pennsylvania that aimed to \u201cassimilate\u201d Native American youth basically by flogging their culture out of them. This was not, as one might imagine, a bright spot for Moore\u2019s career. Siobhan Phillips notes that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/features\/articles\/detail\/92768\" target=\"_blank\">even at the time Moore taught there, the school\u2019s obvious wrongs were noticed and decried<\/a>. Moore knew of \u2018cruel neglect and abuse,\u2019 as her mother put it in a letter included in [Linda] Leavell\u2019s biography. Moore did not protest. In 1914, federal investigators examined conditions at CIIS and dismissed the superintendent &#8230; Congress found financial corruption and mismanagement as well as incidents of wrongful expulsion and physical harm. A student in Moore\u2019s department organized the petition requesting the investigation, which 276 students signed. Moore was accused of supporting insurrection, but she sidestepped the charge, as she reports in a letter to her brother: \u2018I crush out disrespect and rancor whenever I see it, and I give the students as thorough a training in political honor as I can.\u2019 When inspectors came to Carlisle, she dodged them. Her brother advised her not to say anything definitive or particular. She took his advice.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Because someone had to do it: Geoffrey Nunberg has had a good think about the president\u2019s love of quotation marks, the last refuge of the barely literate: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/141513\/trumps-quotation-marks-really-mean?utm_content=buffer6f373&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s use of quotation marks actually suggests the insecurity of the unpracticed writer who worries that a word may be too clich\u00e9d or colloquial for written English<\/a>\u2014the woman who writes, \u2018I\u2019m going to stick with my \u201chubby,\u201d \u2019 to show she knows the word is slangy, or the student who writes, \u2018Things got \u201chot and heavy,\u201d \u2019 hoping to escape the charge of triteness. In 1926, the grammarian H. W. Fowler classed quotes like these among the devices used by writers \u2018who wish to safeguard their dignity &amp; yet be vivacious.\u2019 Like scare quotes, they\u2019re meant to immunize the writer from the taint of the word\u2019s associations, but out of fear of sounding uneducated or common. The effect is invariably the opposite.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Whitman wasn\u2019t a sailor, but as Jeffrey Yang writes, his poems vibrate with a love of the sea: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-sea-salt-in-walt-whitmans-poetry?intcid=mod-latest\" target=\"_blank\">As a boy he speared eels through the ice (see \u2018Poem of Joys\u2019); he sailed around Peconic Bay, circling Shelter Island down to Montauk, where he chatted with the fishermen on the rocks below the lighthouse<\/a>; he enjoyed ferrying between Manhattan and Brooklyn, when the borough was a growing suburban town of thirty thousand inhabitants, the East River still bridgeless. He told Horace Traubel, the author of a nine-volume biography of the poet\u2019s last four years of life, \u2018My own favorite loafing places have always been the rivers, the wharves, the boats\u2014I like sailors, stevedores. I have never lived away from a big river.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Norman Rush reviews Teju Cole\u2019s new book of essays and photos, seeing in it a brush with the sublime: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2017\/04\/06\/teju-cole-burning-collection\/\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Owen, the great patriarch of socialism, was asked what we would do once Utopia was established<\/a>. His reply was: \u2018We shall travel.\u2019 For Cole, travel itself can yield a kind of second-order sublime \u2026 Travel requires discipline and self-awareness and an awareness of travel\u2019s limitations, like\u00a0<em>Heimweh\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Fernweh<\/em>.\u00a0<em>Heimweh<\/em>\u00a0is the German word for homesickness. It can of course strike at any time and screw up an experience. \u2018Fernweh is a longing to be away from home, a desire to be in faraway places. Fernweh is similar to wanderlust but, like heimweh, has a sickish, melancholy tinge.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s roundup:
