...academic year’s end drew near, some of the gravest transgressions against justice manifested in the national issue of immigration policy. The passage of Arizona’s Senate Bill 1070 represents the worst of our nation’s approaches to problem solving. Its reliance on specious standards of “reasonable suspicion” that seemed to entail nothing further than “looking” like an illegal immigrant remains unacceptable. More horrifying, perhaps, this bill will negatively affect the nation’s Hispanic and Latin-American communities, who will undoubtedly...

...strength of “Mean Free Path” lies in its air of intimacy. The subjects of the poems range widely from the most quotidian matters—the act of looking up from reading a book—to the gravest ones—the death of a friend. By including the trivial alongside the serious, Lerner creates the illusion of conversation with a close friend. He writes, “I want this to be... a little path / For Ari...
