...poetic self-indictment was among the assorted scribblings that FBI agents found in a hotel room rented by John W. Hinckley Jr., 26, the day before his attempted assassination of President Reagan on March 30, 1981. The agents also seized a paperback book called The Fox Is Crazy Too, about a master criminal who used an insanity defense to escape conviction. "Was he crazy or just pretending?" asked a blurb on the book's cover. "Was he sane or just pretending?" That is the central issue in Hinckley's trial, which got under way in a federal district...
...average owner, who is 39 and male, the appeal of the ultralights is not entirely poetic. A typical flyabout, weighing around 180 Ibs. and powered by a 25-h.p. snowmobile or chainsaw engine, will cruise for two hours on a 3½-gal. supply of regular gas. The Eagle ultralight gets 30 m.p.g. Some estimates put an ultralight's cost of operation at $2 an hour, vs. $10 for a conventional private plane. Under normal conditions, it is easy to fly, no pilot's license is required, and the aircraft does not have to be certified or inspected...
Debunking those doctrines that go by the moniker of Reaganomics has little to do with economic ideology; it's hard to get impassioned or poetic about interest rates and budget deficits.

"And the poor get poorer," its headline cried out, overburned on a more forceful epigram--the color photograph of a pale young girl, frail, lips parched, and with a gaze, projected out of dreary-blue irises, of a spirit struck with morbid hopelessness...
...starting with the small scene set up in the title and relaxing the poetic structure. Wright successfully moves to and captures the complicated concept of one person's relation to a crowd of strangers. Other prose poems similarly sneak as if unintentionally from the simple to the complex. Free of the poetic structure that would hold the ideas and images to a central thread. Wright can hop from one to the next on the strength of association...
...ONLY LICENSE that the latest Cabaret to open in Cambridge has is poetic. The round tables covered with red and white checkered tablecloths, the waiter garbed in black uniform and long white apron, and the complimentary chilled bottle of wine are all part of the setting of Adams House's All Gaul, the world premiere adaptations of three one-act French farces...
