...call it. THE HUDSON REVIEW puts out its 60th-anniversary edition this month, celebrating its longevity with a concert at the Guggenheim Museum and a book, Writes of Passage. The Review, which promised at its inception not to "open its pages to those whose only merits lie in their anguish, their fervor, and their experimentation," is not the biggest nor the most prestigious of the literary-periodical set, but it has nurtured the early careers of such now familiar names as W.S.

To dredge them up on that particular day, at that particular moment, was mean-spirited, insensitive and showed bad judgment. Brett Jack, Sydney...
...solid post-crunk Southern rap album, Pastor Troy’s “Atittude Adjuster” shines when it takes command of both “Message In A Bottle” and “Shape Of My Heart,” placing these songs of anguish and introspection firmly and successfully in “Thug Life” territory. Nine solo albums deep, Pastor Troy has finally turned his high-pitched battle cry of a voice from a gimmick into an asset. “UH-HUH!” ad-libs aside...
