York follows Sun Ra, a Birmingham jazz musician whose response to racial violence was to se ..."

"Poetry. "Rather than introspection, sensationalism, or mere entertainment, remembering becomes an act of engagement, one that propels the poet toward a fierce intellectual and moral reckoning. And we in turn are held rapt by the lyric enactments of this poet who takes dangerous materials into his hands; who stubbornly pulls at the poisonous sumac obscuring a furnace's ruins; who probes old wound, transfiguring them into new patterns. MU ..."
The Architecture of Address(1st Edition) The Monument and Public Speech in American Poetry (Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory) by JakeAdamYork Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 2014 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-415-76267-0, ISBN: 0-415-76267-7
"The Architecture of Address traces the evolution of an American species of lyric capable of public pronouncement without polemic. Beginning with Whitman, Jake Adam York seeks to describe a kind of poem wherein the most ambitious poets--including Hart Crane and Robert Lowell--occupy and reconstruct important public spaces. This study argues that American poets become civic actors when their poems imagine and reconstruct the conceptual ar ..."

"How does Southern food look from the outside? The form is caught in constantly dueling stereotypes: It’s so often imagined as either the touchingly down-home feast or the heartstopping health scourge of a nation. But as any Southern transplant will tell you once they’ve spent time in the region, Southerners share their lives in food, with a complex mix of stories of belonging and not belonging and of traditions that form identities of m ..."

"Poetry. Winner of the Elixir Press Eighth Annual Poetry Awards. Her book was chosen by Jake Adam York who had this to say about it: "PERPETUAL CARE fulfills two of poetry's most important offices, perhaps its two most important offices, it cares for its world, and it cares for its language. Cynthia Hogue said this: "The poems in Katie Cappello's exquisite debut volume, PERPETUAL CARE, are both delicately surreal and precisely observed: ..."

"See Clark's introduction to his edition of Critical Essays on Hart Crane, pages 9–
20, and Warner Berthoff's Hart Crane: A Re-Introduction, pages 84ff. Clark notes
that the early reviews of The Bridge “pre-judge” and unjustly dismiss Crane's
work, damaging it so that it must be rehabilitated. Clark argues that “critical
evaluation had preceded, rather than followed upon, mastery of The Bridge” (16).
