The Audition
The Audition digs deep: its fresh, heartfelt poems enchant, challenge, and uplift while conveying our yearning for connection and reconciliation. They explore, in three parts, Longing, Limbo, and Restoration. The poetry’s driving, musical quality has an evocative urgency and is immersive with a touch of the absurd. Hopeful in tone, The Audition takes us on a journey and, with the concluding poem, “Unrestored,” we have both arrived and are on the way to a higher place. Influences that can be felt include poets Guillaume Apollinaire for his melodic patterns and Emily Dickinson for her elevation of the quotidian, as well as lay theologian William Stringfellow’s reckoning with alienation. Moses Maimonides, Dante, and Gaspara Stampa get mentions, as do John Milton, Christina Rossetti, and Aldous Huxley. “The Bridge Hears” recalls Paris, and “The Handshake” pays tribute to the poet’s meeting Queen Elizabeth II, while “Rupture” is a homage to Black Elk at Wounded Knee.
Annual Report of the Commissioner of Patents
Prior to 1862, when the Department of Agriculture was established, the report on agriculture was prepared and published by the Commissioner of Patents, and forms volume or part of volume, of his annual reports, the first being that of 1840. Cf. Checklist of public documents ... Washington, 1895, p. 148.
In the Company of Men
In the wake of the revolutionary wars, the figure of the cross-dressed woman proliferated in novels, plays, popular tales, and real-life accounts that circulated throughout Germany. Sometimes appearing in soldier's garb and engaging in battle like Joan of Arc, other times donning overalls and plying a trade, and female cross-dresser tested the revolutionary ideas of freedom and equality. Perhaps her most provocative challenge, however, was to contemporary notions of what it meant to be a women or a man.

The Prize of Success
In the small world of Swiss graphic design, prizes such as the Swiss Design Awards (SDA) are followed closely. The winners' works are admired, envied and emulated. The generous prize money allows designers to launch their careers and focus on lesser paid but critically recognised work. Awards thus play the role of bellwethers of the scene. However, criticisms inevitably arise. Speaking in hushed tones, designers speculate as to why a colleague won over another. Rumours have it that jury members favour their inner circles and exclude competitors. Analysing this universe in detail, Jonas Berthod retraces the recent history of the SDA and the emergence of a new design culture in Switzerland.
