  1. Critic's Notebook: Tomas Tranströmer's spare, elegant genius

    I was hoping for Bob Dylan. Briefly, on Wednesday afternoon, the singer was favored to win the Nobel Prize for literature by the British odds-maker Ladbrokes, which has handicapped the Nobels for many years. In second place was the Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami; in third, the Syrian poet Adonis.

  3. George Hitchcock dies at 96; poet and publisher of the literary magazine 'kayak'

    George Hitchcock, a poet, painter and UC Santa Cruz emeritus professor whose iconoclastic vision as publisher of the literary magazine "kayak" helped free American poetry from mid-20th century orthodoxies and provided an early forum for such distinguished writers as Robert Bly, Raymond Carver and Philip Levine, died Friday at his home in Eugene, Ore. He was 96.

  4. 'Eastbound and Down' recap: 'I love you, Dad'

    Show Tracker
    Kenny (you know what word belongs here) Powers is getting serious. For those keeping score at home (I'm guessing about 90% of "Eastbound and Down" viewers), this episode contained nary a topless woman -- only men; most notably, Stevie. Of......

    Reporting from Maui —
    Los Angeles Times
    Reporting from Maui — We've been batting our way through W.S. Merwin's yard for a couple hours, swatting mosquitoes in the streambed under the dark wet canopy of towering, philodendron-draped mangoes and looking at some 700 species of palm trees,...

  6. The Siren's Call: Love energy

    This month's column is about love. Not the Valentine's Day variety. The Siren's Call is interested in love as an elemental force — as something experienced by mystics and glimpsed by poets. Dante caught a glimpse — this column recently looked at his masterful poetry — in the final lines of "Paradiso," where he tells readers that his mind and will are

  7. The Siren's Call: Bigfoot and secret societies

    Remember Robert Bly's bestselling 1990 book "Iron John: A Book About Men"? It was the manifesto for a movement -- a call for men to get back in touch with their primal selves. Go out in the woods, strip off your shirt, bang on a drum and howl at the moon.

  8. Amy Gerstler's message: Be not afraid

    It's not unusual for Amy Gerstler to trip down the street from her house to mine bearing gifts: a ripe avocado, a jar of martini olives, an article of interest, a plastic Cupid the length of my thumbnail. Today, she meets me outside with a book she wants me to see -- John D'Agata's eclectic "The Lost Origins of the Essay" -- and, because I asked, a mock-up of the cover of her new collection of poetry, "Dearest Creature" (Penguin: 96 pp., $18 paper). The image, of a diorama created by local artist Marnie Weber, brings to mind one of those Hidden Pictures puzzles in Highlights magazine, where you're supposed to find the objects that don't belong. Here, though, every item seems to have its place, all of them whimsical, witty or heartbreaking -- reflecting the poems within.

  10. Thoughts from Dr. Joe: Contemplating heroes, Part 2

    Donner joined me for a cup of tea. I welcomed the company as a respite from a dreary morning. “What are you reading?” he asked. “Stories about King Arthur,” I said. “Tell me one!” I told him about Percival, the...

  11. Thoughts from Dr. Joe: Thinking about Barbara

    Girls can do anything, part two. Barbara Schuman was the brightest kid in the neighborhood. She excelled in school, could throw a ball as far as any boy, climb a tree, run like the wind, and was prettier than a picture. Barbara believed that everything...

  12. Small-town charm along the Mississippi

    Pleasant surprises. That's what you'll find around the Mississippi River town of Red Wing, Minn., on the Great River Road, and in nearby riverside villages in Wisconsin.
