Wanted by P.J. Adams7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Last week, the Senate held a vote on the Equal Rights Amendment - the latest development in a century-long effort to amend the Constitution to explicitly guarantee sex equality. In the hope of getting some sort of abortion protection in the Constitution, the Democrats are attempting to resuscitate a dead horse remnant from the 1970s, the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.). Once that happens, the new Bill of Rights will deal with things like the right to an abortion until the “clump of cells” is a senior in high school, and protections for members of preferred oppressed groups to murder as many people as they want.įor the moment, they’re attempting to work within the confines of the law (unless their last name is “Biden”). ![]() ![]() I have no doubt that’s what they would prefer, but they know that it’s a tough sell until they can figure out how to get their Magic Mail-In Ballot Machines working better in red states. Even the Democrats aren’t dumb enough - yet, anyway - to advocate for tearing up the Constitution and starting over. ![]()

Then the war carl phillips7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() His work is about trying to find a clear path amid the confusion of everyday life. ![]() Instead, he describes his process as pushing forward with the mind into unknown areas. Yet, he does not write with a subject in mind. In Then the War, Phillips writes from the landscape of violence and conflict that has defined the past few years in the United States. “Those aren’t resolvable, but I write in order to make at least some temporary sense of what is always eluding us.” “I believe that poetry exists as a way of giving shape to what’s shapeless – for figuring out ways to grapple with the big abstract parts of life like love, death, morality, sex,” Phillips said. Phillips’ fifteenth book of poems, Then the War: and Selected Poems, 2007 – 2020, is emblematic of the endless nature of this work, looking forward and reflecting on past work at the same time. It is a quest that is no less meaningful for the fact its resolution is always just outside of our grasp. Carl Phillips, professor of English, tells his students that writing poetry is a quest to make sense out of the confounding. ![]()

Graphic novel johnny cash7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The Berlin-based artist has fun with this concept in his well-researched biography of the late country star, segueing into pen-and-ink depictions of Cash hits like “Big River,” “Cocaine Blues,” and “A Boy Named Sue” (which unbeknownst to me was penned by Shel Silverstein). ![]() Get it? I shot a man in Reno / Just to watch him die. In the scene’s final panel, the killer is inside an armored bus, pulling up to the gates of Folsom Prison. Without a word, its surly driver-the Man in Black himself-makes his way to the strip, where he spots a short, wealthy, sleazy-looking man walking into an alley with a prostitute and proceeds to fill him with lead. Reinhard Kleist’s brand-new graphic novel, Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness (Abrams Books), opens with a vintage Caddy (license plate “HELL”) barreling past a neon sign on the outskirts of Reno.

![]() ![]() This time out, Langdon (Tom Hanks) is called to The Vatican in Rome where the Pope has recently died and the top four Cardinals expected to be in the running to be the next Pope have been kidnapped. ![]() But other than a few references to Langdon's 'history' with the Catholic Church by a few of the characters, one doesn't need to be familiar with The Da Vinci Code to understand or enjoy 'Angels & Demons', although obviously it's encouraged – just to have a sense of Robert Langdon as a character going into this sequel. Thankfully, both stories are fairly self-contained, so when it came time to make this movie, Ron Howard wisely opted to turn it into a sequel instead of going the prequel route. As many of you already know, Dan Brown's 'Angels & Demons' actually came before 'The Da Vinci Code' and was the first book to introduce the world to the character of Robert Langdon. ![]()
