Boots
"Boots" is a lyrical, narrative poem from the perspective of a Maine Coon Cat rescued one winter by a boy, Johnny, who grows up to be a young man enlisting in the service. Johnny comes back wounded in many ways, one of them being an amputee with phantom limb syndrome. Boots tries to help his owner as best he can by scratching the prosthetic leg that seems to pain Johnny so, and ponders the winters long ago when they used to play in the snow together. After our global campaign against COVID, I couldn't help but feel the poem had a renewed sense of meaning to many of the walking wounded who served their communities in the face of COVID. So it is a poem I hope in memorial to veterans of wars military and medical.

Argues that although there is much about the boot camp that signals the continuity of the modern in punishment, an alternative interpretation is to view boot camps as an exercise in wilful nostalgia, a sensibility that is a crucial marker of the postmodern for many scholars.

Concepts of punishment & social control in the US are moving into the postmodern frame, as demonstrated by the new & very popular alternative to incarceration, the penal "boot camp." This approach is targeted to juvenile & young adult offenders, & contains military elements & harsh discipline. The military is a rich source of nostalgia for modernity & it brings nostalgic satisfaction to its public audience. The boot camp approach to punishment, however, is not a traditional nostalgia, but a willful nostalgia, since it tolerates a misrecognition of the earlier boot camp model. In its nostalgia, the boot camp thus marks advanced decay in the coherence & plausibility of the modern penal system & can be construed as postmodern. Other penal cliches, eg, the death penalty, are bound to surface in postmodern form before these practices are dismissed as truly meaningless. 58 References. M. Pflum
