 | Radi Os
Publication Date: April 30, 2005Poetry. First published in 1977, Ronald Johnson's RADI OS revises the first four books of Paradise Lost by excising words, discovering a modern and visionary poem within the seventeenth-century text. As the author explains, "To etch is 'to cut away,' and each page, as in Blake's concept of a book, is a single picture." With God and Satan crossed out, RADI OS reduces Milton's Baroque poem to elemental forces. In this retelling of the Fall, song precipitates from chaos, sight from fire: "in the shape / as of / above the / rose / through / rose / rising / the rad...

As the battle for her affections is waged, Belinda and Cody frankly doubt the foundation of their initial attraction, opening the door wide to a swath of bigotry and betrayal. Staged on continually shifting moral ground that challenges our received notions about gender, ethnicity, and even love itself, This Is...
|  | The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol V
Publication Date: February 1, 2007This volume of THE WORKS OF EDGAR ALLEN POE we see what is, in the opinion of the editors who compiled the Raven Edition in the 19th century, the tail end of Poe's fiction. "A Tale of Jerusalem" is a tasteless joke and "The Sphinx" is a pedantic one. But there are more interesting tales present. "Thou Art the Man," for all the characters have names like something out of an 18th century farce, is a middling-good mystery story. "The Man In the Crowd" continues to fascinate. The tale is as inexplicable as the title character. "Hop-Frog" is certainly a fine bit ...

What then of the librarian, charged with teaching new generations to appreciate the search for intellectual wheat, especially when the chaff has greater appeal? The key, suggests Leslie Stebbins, is to impress upon students the importance of good filtering instincts and careful management of search results. At the same time, it is equally essential to impress upon them the particular challenges a...
