Gender: Two Novellas in Verse
In Gender, the sexes are everything. Anne Harding Woodworth has brought together two novellas in verse that share a look at the role of male and female. In Martin/Martina a young woman dresses as a man, is accused of fathering a child, and as the boy's father, raises him. In Aftermath, a member of an asexual group-among three survivor groups that have formed after cataclysm has destroyed most of civilization-becomes pregnant. Two not dissimilar landscapes set the stage for these stories, somewhere in (perhaps) a Mediterranean place of the eleventh century, as well as one of today and of the future. Regardless of time frame, the atmosphere in both novellas lures us into lives of sex, parenting, labor, confusion, and friendship, all in a mixture of free verse, form, and rhyme.

The Spare Parts Saga
Anne Harding Woodworth's The Spare Parts Saga is the journey of her book, Spare Parts: A Novella in Verse (Turning Point, 2008), as it is goes from Washington, DC, to a place between Co. Tipperary and Co. Clare, Ireland. It is not an easy trip. The poet chronicles her book's several transatlantic crossings. The U.S. Postal Service's daily tracking provides her with the titles of the poems, which prompt Anne to remember her past and to comment on life during the Covid pandemic, as well as to deride the USPS for the book's circuitous travel.

How to Behave in a Crowd
A witty, heartfelt novel that brilliantly evokes the confusions of adolescence and marks the arrival of an extraordinary young talent. Isidore Mazal is eleven years old, the youngest of six siblings living in a small French town. He doesn't quite fit in. Berenice, Aurore, and Leonard are on track to have doctorates by age twenty-four. Jeremie performs with a symphony, and Simone, older than Isidore by eighteen months, expects a great career as a novelist—she's already put Isidore to work on her biography. The only time they leave their rooms is to gather on the old, stained couch and dissect prime-time television dramas in light of Aristotle's Poetics. Isidore has never skipped a grade or ...

The Scientific Method
Teeming with life and curiosity, Kim Roberts' The Scientific Method interrogates the world to reason through its hypothesis: that nothing lacks resonance or weight.
Directing Herbert White
In Directing Herbert White James Franco writes about making a film of Frank Bidart's poem, Herbert White. Though the main character, Herbert White is a necrophiliac, and a killer, the poem - and the film - are an expression of life's isolation and loneliness. A poem became a film. In the rest of book, Franco uses poems to express what he feels about film: about acting; about the actors he admires - James Dean, Marlon Brando, Sean Penn; about the cult of celebrity and his struggles with it; about his teenage years in Palo Alto, and about mortality prompted by the death of his father. These preoccupations are handled with a simplicity and directness that recalls the work of Frank O'Hara.
