...letter to TIME included an incorrect phrase inserted by the editor that mistakenly referred to transgender people as "those whose deepest awareness of their sexuality doesn't correspond to the physical parts they were born with" [LETTERS, Aug. 10]. The term "transgender" is political and does not refer to any specific anatomy or sexual practice. It includes the full range of individuals who challenge society's perceptions of gender, including, but certainly not limited to, transsexuality.

...Commandments is divided into sections that correspond to the laws on Moses' tablets ("My Mammogram" counts the virile male physique as perhaps the ultimate graven image). Its theology is deeply personal, more biographical than biblical. "My Old Idols" remembers the crisp erotic sting of a parochial school instructor wielding a pointer while drilling pupils in Greek: "Accounts of murder and sacrifice/ Only suggested the heavy price/ I longed to pay at his behest." Born on the Main Line, an upscale, old-money suburban Philadelphia neighborhood, McClatchy has an aristocratic tartness that comes through both in his stanzas...
