...first book on Yeats, Vendler focused on a prose essay entitled “A Vision,” comparing it to some of his later plays. Her second time around, she will concentrate solely on the poems...
...right, enough with the galloping anapests that Geisel twisted into a million similes and smiles. The rest of the tribute, to the all-time best-selling children's book author (200 million copies in print; take that, J.K. Rowling), will be in prose. Ted Geisel's centenary - the Seussentennial, his publishers call it - is being celebrated with a U.S. postage stamp in his honor, a cross-country caravan of books and playlets and (my favorite) Charles D.

At 32, Tom is a hack journalist at a New York City tabloid. When he goes jogging, "it's prose in motion," and his bachelor pad is a "maximum-insecurity facility." Tom ricochets miserably around the pinball machine of Manhattan's bar scene, musing wittily on the state of the modern male and trying to shake an obsession with his dreamy co-worker Julia. You couldn't ask for a more entertaining drinking...
