Poem of the Day Dept.:
"One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop.
Books, brainfood and mindcandy . . . a random and eclectic (and occassionally somewhat eccentric) accrual of links--to news articles, criticism, essays, and even poetry published online--with comment . . . for serious readers with occassional intellectual pretensions--or serious intellectuals with pretentious reading habits.
"This is happening because America is now a post-literate, post-logical society where truth and reason no longer matter."
From "When fundamentalism and political hackery trump science" by Randolph T. Holhut, at Smirking Chimp.
