  1. 'The Best of the Best American Poetry': An embarrassment of riches

    I&rsquo;ve got mixed feelings about <a href="http://www.poets.org/npm/">National Poetry Month</a> &mdash; not because I don&rsquo;t love poetry but because I do. If you ask me, every month should be poetry month, and the idea of setting one apart feels a bit like cultural condescension, as if we were paying lip service to an art that we all know ought to be important, even though, deep down, we fear it&rsquo;s not.

  4. Music review: A howl for Allen Ginsberg — or his mom?

    Allen Ginsberg's "Kaddish: For Naomi Ginsberg (1894&ndash;1956)" is not a great poet's loudest howl.
    Allen Ginsberg's "Kaddish: For Naomi Ginsberg (1894–1956)" is not a great poet's loudest howl. Ginsberg howled for joy throughout his life and work, the cry of bliss. He howled out of physical pleasure and spiritual pain. He howled to tune into...

  6. 'Look, baby, I'm sorry...' Charles Bukowski and his inspiration

    Charles Bukowski, a kind of poet laureate of the seedy side of Los Angeles, wrote of life on its margins, at its racetracks, in its rundown bars. Bukowski was a poet and a novelist; in his novels, his alter ego Henry Chinaski made all kinds of bad decisions. But even while desperate, there was something appealing about Chinaski's desire to make something out of his beaten-down life. As in this passage:

  8. Happy scandalous anniversary to Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl'

    On this date, March 25, in 1957, Allen Ginsberg helped make literary history. That's because 520 copies of his poem "Howl" were seized by U.S. Customs agents on charges of obscenity. Ginsberg and his publisher, City Lights, would fight those charges -- and win.

  9. Looking for opera inspiration

    Like every other form of art, operas can be inspired by just about anything &mdash; historical events, myths, epic poems, plays, even movies. Often, such operas go on to eclipse their inspiration. Puccini's "Tosca," derived from a play by Victorien Sardou, is a good example; so is Verdi's "Rigoletto," based on a tragedy by Victor Hugo. But not all make that leap. Some remain in the shadow of their progenitors.

  10. Review: 'The Happy Poet': Slacker bliss in a tofu cart

    "The Happy Poet," a no-budget comedy about one man's no-budget sandwich-cart venture, would have to dial up the energy several notches to qualify as deadpan. With a DIY ethos on both sides of the camera, the Austin, Texas-set feature is an ultra-low-key takeoff on the conventional find-your-bliss Hollywood arc. Funny and incisive in moments, it never fully takes off.
