...published some work in the Advocate, making him one in a plethora of aspiring young writers whose names would later ring with household familiarity. The presence on campus of fellow undergraduates and now much-acclaimed poets Frank O'Hara and Kenneth Koch put Harvard at the "center of cultural poetic activity" in the late 1940's, Shoptaw says...
...inhabits a strip of sonic territory between the hip-hop nation and the Land of the Rising Sun. The Japanese-American performing duo of Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda released a debut CD in 1996, Viva! La Woman, that was an irrepressible delight, fusing hip-hop rhythms with elusively poetic lyrics about culinary cravings. The duo's new album is more about vocal harmonies and hooky melodies. A few of the songs are four-ambulance conceptual disasters. But most of the tracks have a strange sweetness to them, leaving you feeling as though you've bitten into a fruit...
What Harris and Klebold shared, says Terra Oglesbee, who was in their creative-writing class too, was a poetic sensibility, "dark and sad. Their poems were always about plants dying and the sun burning out. Whenever I heard them, I would just plug my ears because I can't stand stuff like that."

Ormus' musical elegy for Vina reaches a poetic level missing in the rest of his fabricated song lyrics. He sings, "and now I can't be sure of anything, black is white and cold is heat; for what I worshiped stole my love away, it was the ground beneath her feet." The words are expressive but minimal and emotional, a style Rushdie might have stuck to when writing other parts of the book. The nature of celebrity is a subject Rushdie tackles with aplomb, yielding a few entertaining bits of satire. His celebrities are drugged up, swaggering, stylized and often...
...depicting with clarity and honesty a friendship between two young women, Dream Life shifts nicely from a light, even funny naturalism, into a more poetic and ultimately more troubling tone, never glamorized and always compelling. It's definitely more than a dismissive wave at two filles paumees, and the precise details of life on les limites (e.g. cutting out magazine pictures to sell as postcards) fuel nobler purposes. I suppose the film could lose some minutes, but, come on, cut Zonca some slack...
