A few days ago, the word “nothing” got me to “How much the present moment means,” and that poem took me to an article entitled ““Love, Terror, and Transcendence in Emily Dickinson’s Poetry” by a college professor by the name of Glenn Hughes (HERE).
I found books by Professor Hughes on sale at Amazon (inlcuding “From Dickinson to Dylan”; here’s info on the book:
“Hughes examines the ways in which six literary modernists—Emily Dickinson, Marcel Proust, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Samuel Beckett, and Bob Dylan—have explored the human relationship to a transcendent mystery of meaning. Hughes argues that visions of transcendence are, perhaps surprisingly, a significant feature in modernist literature, and that these authors’ works account for many of the options for interpreting what transcendent reality might be.”
I then did some exploring online and found Hughes’ blog, HERE.
Then, alas, I found an obiturary. Evidently, Hughes died just this past November: “Philosopher, political theorist, literary scholar, poet, and musician Glenn Arthur “Chip” Hughes passed into eternity on November 6 due to complications of cancer and stroke.” The complete “In Memoriam” is HERE.
I’m sorry this connection did not manifest itself much earlier – I would have loved to have connected with Dr. Hughes.
