Sinopsis

In the impassioned treatise 'The Good Gray Poet, A Vindication,' William Douglas O'Connor presents a resolute defense of his friend Walt Whitman, whose employment was ignominiously severed due to his pioneering work, 'Leaves of Grass.' O'Connor's writing is marked by a fiery eloquence, exemplifying the polemical essay form that grips readers with its intense fervor. The author meticulously contrasts the candor of Whitman's verses with the broadly accepted profanities and obscenities of classical literature, arguing for the poetic masterpiece's rightful place among revered texts. It is an exquisite example of literary advocacy, capturing both the ethos of the 19th century's fluctuating moral attitudes and the transformative power of avant-garde art.

William Douglas O'Connor, a discerning literary figure of his time and avid supporter of the arts, invested his persuasive prowess in crafting this vindication through authentic and personal insights that only a close confidant could offer. His deft understanding of Whitman's oeuvre, coupled with his own experiences grappling with the period's conservative literary sensibilities, empowered him to articulate this robust case in defense of poetic freedom and integrity. O'Connor's text is not merely a response to a singular injustice but a timeless commentary on the role of art in society.

Scholars and enthusiasts of American literature, connoisseurs of the transcendentalist movement, and advocates for the unbridled expression of art are commendably served by O'Connor's 'The Good Gray Poet, A Vindication.' This book is an essential read for all who seek to understand the complexities of literal censorship and the valiant efforts to safeguard artistic expression. Its enduring relevance provokes thought about the collisions between art, societal norms, and the liberties of the creative spirit, thus resonating with audiences across centuries.

A deep-dive investigation of education privatization that reveals voucher programs as the faulty products of decades of work by wealthy patrons and influential conservatives 
 
 
 
This thought-provoking work traces the origins of voucher-based education reform to mid-twentieth-century fears over school desegregation. It shows how, in the intervening decades, a cabal of billionaire conservatives supporting a host of special political interests—including economic libertarianism, religious choice, and parental rights—have converged around the issue of education freedom in an ongoing culture war. Through deliberate policymaking, legislation, and litigation, Cowen reveals, an insular advocacy network has enacted a flawed system for education finance driven largely by dogma. 
 
 
 
Far from realizing the purported goal of educational equity, privatization is failing students and exacerbating income inequality, Cowen finds. He cites multiple research studies that conclude that voucher programs return poorer academic outcomes, including lower test scores on state exams, especially among students who are at greater academic risk because of their race, their religion, their gender identity, or their family's income. Continued advancement of these policies, Cowen argues, is an assault on public education as a defining American institution.
