  Europe Love Me Back

  Rakhshan Rizwan

  Europe, Love Me Back is a collection of relentlessly questing, sharply satirical poems about the continent, and the poet's fraught relationship with it. Hurting yet clear-eyed, Rizwan explores and exposes what it means to be a small brown woman in Dutch suburbs, hospitals and academia
  
  This is an angry love letter, to a place left behind yet always there, continuing to matter and hurt and shape the poet's identity.
  "But no one was interested in eliciting my testimony;
  after all I wasn't dead – I wasn't ill – and hadn't this
  country treated me so well?
  For it is not a human right to be much more than Agamben's bare life,
  to exist in the hallowed halls of the academe,
  because there comes a point when our wanting
  is simply too much, obscene –"

  Needs Improvement

  Whether misreading sixth?grade pedagogical materials or offering visual schematics for reading Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, Jon Paul Fiorentino'?s sixth poetry collection asks us to reconsider our engagement with received information —?? but does so with a wink during detention, a dodgeball to the gut during recess.
    
     
  'Needs Improvement is as a book of a new logic making its way from witty statements to slow moving alyric villanelles, achieving brilliantly a contemporary sense of streaming among words, places and "no self." Whether this feeling comes from rearranged intentions, satirical knowledge, wise and displaced arguments, each page points a finger at language and does so with "no fears."' ? —?? Nicole Brossard

  Richard Dreyfuss and Stacy Keach star in this full-cast performance of Arthur Miller’s classic The Crucible, a central work in the canon of American drama.  
   
  In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic - with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against neighbor - The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s. A Tony Award Winner for Best Play.
