...what appears to be the middle of a larger monologue, sparking the reader’s imagination and forcing her to actively engage with the poem and consider the context out of which it grows. This fragmentation combines with Valentine’s use of internal monologue to lend the collection a dream-like tone. In these fragmented dreams, the disturbing becomes beautiful. In “The Artist in Prison,” Valentine delicately describes a prisoner with a life sentence, trading simple things such as cigarettes “for socks / for their threads...to embroider little...

The JAMA study, led by researchers at the Université Laval in Quebec, finds that first-time heart attack patients who returned to chronically stressful jobs were twice as likely to have a second attack as patients whose occupations were relatively stress-free.

A ladder that leads to the window is just out of reach. Despite the sometimes obvious symbolism, the architectural elements don’t lend themselves to easy understanding, and they certainly discourage easy navigation. For all the helpful explanations that the exhibits provided, the museum itself is difficult, confusing, even incomprehensible. This tension is ultimately the museum’s greatest success: it subtly, yet candidly, evokes the strange paradox that the more we know about...
