...Booth in the Midtown Tunnel.” The collection of poems turns out to contain scores of subtle humor and well-written verse. Despite the poet’s often-unfortunate choice of uninspiring characters, Doug Holder is able to convey a certain charm in what is conventionally commonplace. His poems become endearing and insightful upon further reading. Like his characters, this book deserves a glance, maybe even two, but nothing more...
...Madea’s life and family offers little more than anecdotes of her problems with anger management, which she never admits to herself or to others.What makes the two parts so disparate in quality, then, is not the stories they tell, but the ability of the actors to convey them.

Overcome by clichéd perspectives and overly deliberated connections, the exhibition is muddled by the cheap, commercial nature of the photographs. While there was no gift shop in the Athenaeum, the museum very well could have shrunk Vanderwarker’s images to sell them as postcards to tourists...
