Fraught Prospects: California Landscape Poetry During and After the Gold Rush.
These erasures are not a shortcoming of the poet's imagination but rather a function of how the poet deploys the conventions of the labor poem to particular colonial ends, representing the environment as a foreign threat, elevating the activities of the Anglo laborer, and justifying the forms of set...

The poem's representation of different sightlines emphasizes the poet's projections and imaginings, suggesting that Mount Shasta and the valley and plains in the poem are productions of the conventions of landscape poetics. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Western American Literature is the property of Western Literature Association and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
