Could someone explain this poem to me?
Anecdote of the Jar
by Wallace Stevens
I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.
The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.
It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.
Somethin about Tennessee

Alabama Crimson Tide Football Game Day Book Athlon Sports $9.98 The numbers are impressive: Twelve national championships (and counting). Fifty-three championships in the greatest conference in football, the SEC. Dozens of All-Americans. Countless statistical milestones.But the numbers alone don’t do justice to the impact that Alabama football has had and continues to have on its legion of fans. What takes place within the storied confines of Bryant-Denny Stadium is more than simply a game; it’s a way of life.From the days of Wallace Wade and Frank Thomas and the Tide’s six Rose Bowl appearances; to the epic era of the peerless Bear Bryant; to the 1992 national championship under Gene Stallings; to a new era of superior football under Mike Shula over the decades, Alabama has become synonymous with college football excellence.Coach Shula puts it this way: There is a sense of pride that seems to weave its way into the personality of the players. I’m sure it was that way when I was here as a player, but now as a coach, it is much easier to see. I can see it in their eyes, what it means to wear the Crimson jersey. They are proud to be a part of this football team. Game Day Alabama Football is a celebration of that pride that all Crimson Tide players and fans share, and of the decades of gridiron excellence that have inspired it. |

Mount Pleasant $21.99 Mount Pleasant has deep American roots going back to the Revolutionary War, when local tenant farmers filled the ranks of General Washington”s Continental army. For years, travel to New York City was difficult, until the arrival of the railroad in 1846 allowed easy transportation to lower Manhattan. In 1893, John D. Rockefeller Sr. began buying land in Pocantico and built his classic Georgian mansion. The massive Kensico Dam in Valhalla was completed in 1917 to satisfy the growing thirst of New York City. In 1927, Rose Hawthorne, the daughter of writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, completed the Rosary Hill Home to care for the unfortunate. The following year, Dewitt Wallace and his wife Lila moved to Pleasantville to launch the production of Reader”s Digest. Through photographs, Mount Pleasant remembers these historic moments. |

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Man $14 This is a book of stories, writes Henry Louis Gates, and all might be described as ‘narratives of ascent.’ As some remarkable men talk about their lives, many perspectives on race and gender emerge. For the notion of the unitary black man, Gates argues, is as imaginary as the creature that the poet Wallace Stevens conjured in his poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird. James Baldwin, Colin Powell, Harry Belafonte, Bill T. Jones, Louis Farrakhan, Anatole Broyard, Albert Murray — all these men came from modest circumstances and all achieved preeminence. They are people, Gates writes, who have shaped the world as much as they were shaped by it, who gave as good as they got. Three are writers — James Baldwin, who was once regarded as the intellectual spokesman for the black community; Anatole Broyard, who chose to hide his black heritage so as to be seen as a writer on his own terms; and Albert Murray, who rose to the pinnacle of literary criticism. There is the general-turned-political-figure Colin Powell, who discusses his interactions with three United States presidents; there is Harry Belafonte, the entertainer whose career has been distinct from his fervent activism; there is Bill T. Jones, dancer and choreographer, whose fierce courage and creativity have continued in the shadow of AIDS; and there is Louis Farrakhan, the controversial religious leader. These men and others speak of their lives with candor and intimacy, and what emerges from this portfolio of influential men is a strikingly varied and profound set of ideas about what it means to be a black man in America today.
