Mulroney & Others by Wormser
Baron Wormser, a master of the persona poem, is well known for his empathic exploration of other people`s lives. His fifth collection of poetry, Mulroney Others, includes an examination of his own life as well. His newest lyric narratives provide glimpses of his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, as well as accounts of Vietnam vets and draft dodgers, socialites, and outcasts. Loyal readers will welcome Wormser`s trademark poise -- the elegant balance he achieves with understatement that is both metrically deft and intellectually intricate. These poems prove Anais Nin`s insight that We don`t see things as they are, we see them as we are. Wormser`s invitation to engage ourselves in seeing is irresistible, especially as he models the process with such impassioned interest. `I know, ` everyone is saying at once/To one another and the word-riddled universe.... he writes. His poems tempt us to trade facile assumption for the powerful illumination of wonder. In Wormser`s words, the universe is irrefutably personal.

A Century of Films by Derek Malcolm
Invited by THE GUARDIAN newspaper to explore his choice of one hundred films in a weekly column over the two years spanning the millennium, film writer and critic Derek Malcolm set out on a project that has attracted much attention and has resulted in this fascinating guided tour through a century of film. A CENTURY OF FILMS is not a best of, but is a critical celebration of one hundred films based on unparalleled knowledge and understanding of what cinema can achieve. Malcolm not only pleases moviegoers, but he introduces readers to films that they may not yet have discovered. Whether providing new ways of seeing a familiar film from a well known director, or celebrating a lesser known gem, whether writing about stars, actors, cinematographers, or moments of cinematic grace, Derek Malcolm demonstrates how it is that he has earned his place as one of the world's most celebrated film writers and critics.
