It’s a collection of an English poetry covering a plethora of social issues. It can be summarized as an expressive genre that engages on personal and social tribulations. The name is symbolic, in that it both underscores the power of expressive engagement and self-gratification that ensues once one has come to terms with social challenges and the will to overcome. It above all, underscores the enormous power of language in giving mankind the avenue to deploy poetic repertoire to engage on social ills and or challenges.

When we think about what it is we do in academic literary studies, we do so taking account of time – the time of the institution in which this disciplinary practice takes place, and the history of the discipline itself. Since literary studies engage contemporary issues and how they impact the reader, we must also acknowledge processes and events outside the field. The contributions to this volume engage with the idea of temporality not only in Anglophone literature studies, but in the humanities as a whole. In the first section, the literary contributions show that the humanities owe a debt to the past – new paradigms question and challenge the validity of older ones without necessarily discarding them. The second section shows how the disciplinary archive can be modified and expanded to engage its present condition, while the last deals with what that condition forebodes. Despite the range of perspectives adopted here, all contributions echo the history of the discipline of literary studies itself, its present condition, and the possibilities for its survival in an age in which the relevance of humanities is being disputed.
