Moving At The Speed Of Love: Alex Caldiero's Some Love, Scott Abbott
Moving At The Speed Of Love: Alex Caldiero's Some Love, Scott Abbott
Scott Abbott
Poet Alex Caldiero's SOME LOVE is tangled in the poetic complexities of love, and yet, as the reviewer discovers, the poems here can be every bit as fleshy and uncomplicated as the real thing.

Reading And Writing Race In Ireland, Maureen Reddy
Reading And Writing Race In Ireland, Maureen Reddy
Maureen T. Reddy
In following Henry's education in race matters -- one trajectory of the plot -- the novel foregrounds the many absurdities attending on the tragic history of racism in the U.S. Doyle's interest in race is not in fact new with this novel, which readers of the monthly Metro Eireann would know, as Doyle has been publishing stories centered on race issues in that venue since 2000. This essay examines the first five of those stories, particularily in their relation to emerging discources of race in Ireland.
Man Poems: From Beer And Gears To Grills And Girls, Christopher Ward
Man Poems: From Beer And Gears To Grills And Girls, Christopher Ward
Christopher Ward
Man Poems: From Beer and Gears to Grills and Girls is a collection of poetry aimed at males between the ages of 20-40. From casual observation, including the spectacular wonders of alcohol and the female body, to the humorous: re-visiting the classic heavy rock hits of the 1980s, the varied works of Man Poems offer an interesting look into the mind and surroundings of author Christopher Ward.
Rachel Carson, Karen Stein
Rachel Carson, Karen Stein
Karen F Stein
Rachel Carson is the twentieth century's most significant environmentalist. Her books about the sea blend science and poetry as they invite readers to share her celebration of the ocean's wonders. Silent Spring, her compelling expose of the damage caused by the widespread aerial spraying of persistent organic pesticides such as DDT, opened our eyes to the interconnectedness of all living beings and the ecological systems we inhabit. Carson's work challenges the belief that science and technology can control the natural world. She calls us to rekindle our sense of wonder at nature's power and beauty, and to tread lightly on …

What Abraham Lincoln Read: An Annotated And Evaluative Bibliography, Robert Bray
What Abraham Lincoln Read: An Annotated And Evaluative Bibliography, Robert Bray
Robert Bray
This bibliography attempts to list, in alphabetical order by author, all the books or parts of books that any serious scholar, biographer, or bibliographer has asserted that Abraham Lincoln read. In the interest of completeness, even dubious claims have been listed. Newspapers or magazines have been excluded unless they were the only available source of a text that Lincoln read. Texts published as songs, hymns, and popular ditties are listed, but only those that Lincoln is said to have sung or recited himself (thus, no "Dixie," although Lincoln referred to the song in one of his speeches). Likewise, included are …

Why Thoughts Are Better Than Music Or Emily Dickinson's Fascicle 18 As A Lyric Sequence, Robert Bray
Why Thoughts Are Better Than Music Or Emily Dickinson's Fascicle 18 As A Lyric Sequence, Robert Bray
Robert Bray
Recently, an old argument concerning the existence of God has made a comeback: the "Argument from Design." Some scientists, physicists and biologists especially, have declared that the cosmos, from tiniest micro to uttermost macro, not only reveals a design, but one so complex as to be impossible by accident, hence entailing a designer. From perceived real design they infer an imperceptible ideal designer-God the Creator. Invert this and you have the position in which I find myself while studying Emily Dickinson's "fascicles" (a frankly ugly and pseudo-technical name for a beautiful phenomenon in poetry). The physical evidence of the sewn, …

Speaking In Tongues: Margaret Laurence's A Jest Of God As Gothic Narrative, Karen Stein
Speaking In Tongues: Margaret Laurence's A Jest Of God As Gothic Narrative, Karen Stein
Karen F Stein
Margaret Laurence's A Jest of God has strong affinities to Claire Kahane's analysis of the Gothic narrative tradition: these include the supernatural, sleep-like states, difficulties in telling a story, discovery of secrets, discussions of female sexuality, absent mothers, a secret room, a controlling male figure, a mysterious lover, and different narrative voices. Gothic novels also explore the position of women in the home and family. Laurence incorporates Gothic conventions but modifies them, allowing her heroine, Rachel, to find her own voice(s) and escape from the guilt, shame, and imprisonment of her past.
