For whoever worries that time is a straight arrow, here are two Busters in the #Port of #LongBeach about a century apart. Also some "hot #sailors" in the #QueenMary engine room just to keep spirits high.
A few years ago I wrote about them and some other comedies of #postindustrial #waterfront #redevelopment for #ComparativeLiterature. (TBC)

Hi folks, I am a #complit / #litstudies prof at Northwestern. I write about #poetry and politics in the #Americas. Also, these days, a lot about #modernism, oddities of #MaritimeHistory and #maritimeculture since the age of steam and diesel, and #laborhistory. But I may just post here about #vegetablegardening. And how #CompLitShouldHaveWon.
