Synopsis

"Tone Control" explores the subtle yet powerful ways poets use punctuation and syntax to shape a poem's emotional impact. It argues that tone isn't just an abstract feeling but a deliberate construct achieved through careful linguistic choices. For example, a comma can create hesitation, while a period can convey assertiveness, demonstrating how poets manipulate these tools to evoke specific responses. This book offers a unique perspective by focusing on measurable linguistic features, moving beyond subjective impressions.

 
The book examines how punctuation, often seen merely as grammatical, functions as a tool for pacing and emotional coloring. Similarly, the arrangement of words, or syntax, can create formality, urgency, or even chaos. Diving into these mechanics unlocks a richer appreciation of poetic expression and refines our understanding of language's emotive capabilities.

 
The book systematically progresses, beginning with fundamental concepts and culminating in case studies that analyze poems from different periods and styles.

Grand Old Unraveling - The...

John Kenneth White

It didn't begin with Donald Trump. Since the time of FDR, the Republican Party has been home to conspiracy thinking, including a belief that lost elections were rigged. And when Republicans later won the White House, the party elevated their presidents to heroic status—a predisposition that eventually posed a threat to democracy. John Kenneth White proposes to explain why this happened—not just the election of Trump but the authoritarian shift in the party as a whole that led to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, and its aftermath. 
 
 
 
White presents a clear and concise analysis of how the modern Republican Party came to be by tracing historical patterns that reach back to the 1930s. He argues that the rise of Republican authoritarianism has been decades in the making, going back to the desperation that took hold among party elites in the wake of twenty years of Democratic dominance between 1932 and 1952. The fear of losing that overtook the party during the Roosevelt period eventually led to an escalation of intrigue that included the rise of the John Birch Society in the 1950s and QAnon today. White traces the development of this culture of conspiracy theories within the GOP and explains how the emphasis on winning at any cost created a cult of personality and a willingness to seize power by any means necessary.
