This poem is also something like a wall of smoke: it looks substantial, but when you try to wrap your arms around it it disperses only to gather again when you move away. (All of these prognostications are going off a rather small sample size so I could be way off.) It has an Ashberian quality though it’s far from a knockoff. Namely, it seems looser, rangier: the lines are longer the voice is more distinct, more at the forefront of the poem. The poem that appears in the February 9, 2009, issue of the New Yorker is the first piece of Greenbaum’s I’ve laid eyes on and I’ve since scoured the Internet looking for others and from what I can tell, this piece, “The Two Yvonnes” is markedly different from the other work out there. Jessica Greenbaum’s work hit the poetry shelves in 2000 with Inventing Difficulty and her second effort was a finalist for the Hecht Prize last year and for all of us who entered that competition this year, let’s hope Greenbaum already found a publisher for manuscript, which appears to have the working title of “Cover Songs for the Alphabet.” The trio teamed up for ‘The Last Days of Disco’ in 1998.Quick, what’s harder than publishing your first book of poetry?

#Love and friendship review new yorker movie
There’s a first official poster for Love and Frienship, the upcoming romantic drama movie directed by Whit Stillman and starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny: The release date of the movie Love & Friendship is set to May 13, 2016. Can’t wait to see Kate Beckinsale’s performance as a scheming widow, lol! There are no zombies in this movie adaptation of one of Jane Austen’s novel, but it look really funny. She enlists the assistance of her old friend Alicia (Chloë Sevigny), but two particularly handsome suitors (Xavier Samuel and Tom Bennett) complicate her orchestrations.” While there, the intelligent, flirtatious, and amusingly egotistical Lady Vernon is determined to be a matchmaker for her daughter Frederica-and herself too, naturally.
