Sinopse

“Sorkin’s restless mind plays up and down each linguistically artful, occasionally profane page.” —Roger Weingarten, author of The Four Gentlemen and Their Footmen 
 
Uncomfortable Minds is Larry’s Sorkin’s riff on poet e.e. cummings’ words, “Cambridge ladies who . . . are unbeautiful and have comfortable minds,” which refer to the conceit that uncomfortable minds are universal to all human beings. Larry Sorkin’s collection of poems—sometimes joyful, sometimes elegiac—explore the idea of the restless, uncomfortable state as either something we can run from, try to fix, or embrace. Each poem in the collection explores some disturbance in the psyche, with poetry as a way to confront the disturbance, use it, embrace it. 
 
“Reflections both bitter and tangy, sweet and unbearable.” —Lou Lipsitz, author of Seeking the Hook

Rosalind Franklin was a gifted research scientist who was part of the race to uncover the secrets of DNA in the 1950’s. Her more famous contemporaries Watson and Krick took all the kudos for the discovery of the molecule’s double helix structure – yet it was Franklin’s skill with X-ray diffraction that first uncovered what’s called “the secret of life”. Includes an interview with Brenda Maddox, the world's foremost biographer of Rosalind Franklin and author of "Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA".Also includes and interview with Dr Pamela Björkman, the Max Delbruck Professor of Biology at the California Institute of Technology, and an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.An L.A.

Whether we understand it or recognise it, it is women who have shaped the course and journey of humanity. We are all born from women and usually raised by women.  Half the world’s population is female but many of them are trodden down by misogyny, religious misinterpretation, failing systems of education and welfare and all manner of other ills that shame us all.    In a world where, gender, colour, race and orientation are still stumbling blocks to inclusion, women’s words are too often unheard and neglected. 
 
Whilst the world has moved measurably forward in recent decades, although not enough, some progress has been made. Our poets wrote at a time when their basic rights as human beings were restrictive and oppressive.  Against the odds, they were able to write verse, which in varying degrees, moved the literary needle and perhaps influenced their society in positive ways. 
 
This volume pays tribute to 50 different women poets, some well-known whilst others undeservedly forgotten but all contributing a single poem which we hope might nudge listeners to discover more of their verse.

"New to this are you lad!" said one of them. 
"Terry I think you killed him!" said one of the others he was the black-clad highwayman named the Ghost for his sudden appearances and disappearances.
