And, naturally, that entailed sitting down and browsing through books I hadn’t opened in a while. And I came across “Song: Now That She Is Here” by Hayden Carruth, an American poet who died in 2008. It caught my attention, both for its lyricism and its honesty about...

End of the Year Poems, 1 I’d like to conclude 2011 with a selection of poems that feel especially resonant with the year’s various pivots.

Something to be loved,...

Jon Stewart Crushes Fox News In The 2011 Ratings →
The reason why Fox News feels so threatened by Jon Stewart is because his program is more popular than anything not named Bill O’Reilly on the network. Not only is Stewart popular, but he is popular with the coveted young demographics that Fox News struggles with. The average Fox News viewer is 65 years old. For years, the Fox News model of success has been powered by viewers literally aging in...

* * Keep fresh before me - The moments of my high resolve - Despite the dullness and barrenness of the days that pass, if I search with due diligence, I can always find a deposit left by some former radiance.
