Why This Matters

This document is a letter from Elisa New, Powell M.

AI-Generated Summary

This document is a letter from Elisa New, Powell M. Cabot Professor of American Literature at Harvard University's Department of English, to someone named Woody about William Carlos Williams's poem "This Is Just to Say". The letter discusses the different readings and interpretations of the poem, including an aggressive reading, and how it might be more like a script than a typical poem due to its open-ended nature. New is also asking Woody if they would be willing to discuss the poem on camera for her upcoming Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on American poetry that will be launched internationally by edX in the next 18 months. The course will cover the history, art, and interpretation of American poetry using a variety of multimedia resources.

The image is a scanned document with numerous redacted sections, which means parts of the text have been deliberately obscured for privacy or security reasons. The redaction marks are typically used to conceal sensitive information like names, addresses, and personal details from public view. As the content of the redacted areas has been intentionally hidden, it's not possible to provide specifics about the visible text or any people, locations, or significant objects within those sections. The document appears to be official in nature, possibly a legal or governmental record, given the formality and structure of the layout.

The image shows a page of handwritten notes with numbered points. The first point is about the lack of support for an issue and mentions that it has been raised before. The second point discusses how a conversation is necessary to resolve the situation because it affects many people. There's a reference to a "Friday 26th" meeting in which it was decided that the person writing these notes will be responsible for handling the matter, as well as an indication that they learned about this responsibility at that meeting. The third point discusses how there has been no progress or action despite promises made at previous meetings. The fourth point mentions that this is a critical issue and must be addressed immediately. There's also mention of "The New Beach Policy" which may be the subject matter of these notes. The final point states that the person writing the notes will discuss this with someone on Monday, and there are instructions to contact them immediately if they don't receive an update by that time.

The image is a page from a document containing written text. It appears to be a typed or printed page with handwritten annotations and corrections made using different colors of ink or highlighters. The top right corner has the number "29" indicating this is likely part of a larger sequence of pages. There are lines drawn through certain paragraphs, suggesting they have been struck out, possibly as changes during editing. The text itself seems to be structured into numbered sections, with each section containing written content. Due to the image's quality and angle, some parts of the text may not be fully legible or clear.

The image is a black and white photograph of a piece of paper with handwritten text. The page appears to be a list of questions or prompts, possibly for an interview or survey, as indicated by phrases like "Why did Phil do it?" and "What made you take off your shirt?" There are also some personal anecdotes described such as meeting someone in New York City at the World's Fair. The paper is partially cut off on the right side, so not all of the text is visible.

The image is a photograph of a handwritten document with the heading "For that the U.S. Justice Department believes that India was involved in the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi" followed by a list numbered from 1 to 26, with text underneath each number. The text under each point is too small and blurry to read clearly. There are also some visible texts at the top right corner of the page, but they're not entirely legible due to the angle of the photo and the quality of the image.
