Draft article on Philip Milito
|
---|
Philip Milito (February 28, 1953 – June 16, 2016) was an American poet, born and raised in the Northeast Bronx. He produced thousands of poems. He also contributed numerous critical commentaries to The Canadian Encyclopedia and Banned Books: Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds.[1] His poetry is notable for its evocative imagery, the struggle with God and the human condition, its occasional biting humor, and its dark vision. His often quoted poem Twice-Poisoned Dog[2] reflects his worldview, at least in part: “We desire the way / A twice-poisoned dog / Eyes a third piece of meat.” He was particularly interested in, and felt a kinship with, society’s outcasts, a subject that he explored in depth in his book-length poem, Wails of the Wraecca, which was inspired by the old English Anglo-Saxon poem The Wanderer. Early Years Milito attended St. Lucy’s School, PS 89, JHS 135, Christopher Columbus High School, and Hunter College. Milito developed a strong interest in poetry and music as a teenager and began to compose original poems and lyrics. He also became an accomplished harmonica player. After leaving Hunter College, Milito moved to the Los Angeles area, but he returned to New York City in 1978 and worked at a variety of odd jobs while he continued to write and occasionally publish. In 1988, he began to work at the Mid-Manhattan Library, a branch of the New York Public Library in Manhattan, and a year later joined the staff of the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, where he served a specialized reading public for nearly 20 years, before retiring in 2008 to write full time. Influences Milito read both widely and deeply, and his eclectic literary taste found a home in the work of many writers and musicians, chief among them Bob Dylan and Kenneth Rexroth. Other influences included James Agee, W. H. Auden, Charles Baudelaire, William Blake, Charles Bukowski, Leonard Cohen, James Joyce, Malcolm Lowry, Kenneth Patchen, Arthur Rimbaud, and Walt Whitman, to name only some of those he read continually throughout his lifetime. Death In May 2015, Milito was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer. He died on June 16, 2016, in Astoria, New York, at Mt. Sinai Hospital of Queens. Milito’s later work is available on the blog that he kept, which contains hundreds of poems written from 2008 to just a week before his death[3]. A collection of selected poems is currently being compiled, with plans for future publication in progress. SELECTED WORKS BY PHILIP MILITO The Moon Hidden by Clouds.

Should reference number 47 have the publisher - BBC - written in italics? I note that many of the other publishers in the citations from newspapers/books seem to be. Thanks 175.33.22.145 (talk) 03:42, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

What might I have done wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Performaphage (talk • contribs) 15:51, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
On the Islamic state of Iraq and the levent along the side it says that "state opponents" and "non-state opponents", I don't think that those words (that i put in quotes) are the proper words, but i can not edit that to make it correct because it has a lock on it. Could you guys fix that please to help me better understand ISIS.
