...Bogdana Carpenter, the book is a window into Hartwig’s interpretation of the real essence of life. Unconstrained by the expectations of social constructs and unencumbered by the tendency to divide everything into black and white, her poems address universal themes in the context of a specific sentiment, image, or idea. Hartwig uses her poems to expose life in all its strange incongruities, rendering it naked and vulnerable to our judgment.At first glance, Hartwig’s work is unremarkable. The titles of her pieces, which are usually drawn from lines in the poems, are intriguing but hardly...

In Florida, for instance, 1.75 million Democrats voted, which was the best Democratic turnout in state history.

The resulting melange isn't awful, but you'll be forgiven if you wait for the DVDs of The Other Boleyn Girl - this one and the TV movie - for a leisurely home-viewing to compare and contrast...
...Breaking Bad” is without any charms. The unique setting of Albuquerque, New Mexico adds regional flavor to the show. I’m also inordinately fond of Walter’s cerebral-palsy afflicted son, Walter, Jr., who’s played without a hint of maudlin sentiment by the excellent RJ Mitte. Anna Gunn does the best she can with the role of Walter’s meddling wife Skyler, but her part needs to be toned down a touch if the character is to be at all sympathetic. In general, this is probably...
