Offering a direct address to the city where the poet grew up, this collection explores questions of generation amidst the displacement and belonging of a Jewish family in Memphis, Tennessee. These poems sing with their attention to the particular body and what it cannot carry, what it cannot put down.

  Mac Flecknoe

  John Dryden

  Mac Flecknoe is a satirical masterpiece by John Dryden, widely regarded as one of the greatest examples of literary mockery in English literature. Written in 1682, this brilliant poem humorously attacks the poet Thomas Shadwell, portraying him as the heir to the throne of dullness. Through sharp wit, clever wordplay, and biting irony, Dryden exposes Shadwell's literary shortcomings while demonstrating his own mastery of satire and poetic technique.
  
  The poem combines humor with pointed criticism, using the conventions of heroic verse to mock mediocrity and celebrate artistic excellence. Mac Flecknoe is not just a personal attack; it is a sophisticated commentary on the standards of taste, creativity, and intellectual rigor in Restoration literature. Readers encounter a parade of absurdities, over-the-top characterizations, and hilarious exaggerations, all designed to entertain while showcasing Dryden's formidable command of language.
  
  Whether you are a lover of classic literature, satire, or the history of English poetry, Mac Flecknoe offers a timeless glimpse into the art of mock-heroic writing and the literary rivalries of the 17th century. Its wit, style, and incisive commentary continue to resonate, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the power of satire to challenge mediocrity and celebrate talent.

  Does Lieutenant Vera Backland lust for her suspect? Has she plotted revenge for her lover? 
  Go on a journey through this story to find out who might've been the actual killer and who might've been manipulated to think that they're the murderer. 
  On the night of January 20, Lieutenant Vera Backland visits her favorite bar and sees a man who attracts her in an unusual way. A few hours later she visits a strange crime scene, in Sleepy Hollow. But Vera is not at her best; the disappearance of someone close to her has wreaked havoc on her psyche and she knows she's not one hundred percent ready to lead the new Complex Crimes Bureau in New York City. 
  Along with her partner Luke Faller, she must find the murderer before he continues to claim more victims, guided by the play The Divine Comedy and by the classification he has made of sinners. 
  Vera doubts everything and everyone. Even from herself, and for this she asks for help from her psychiatrist Alan Holt and her former tutor Clarence Perkins. She must not only understand the killer's mind but her own. With a vast criminal imagination and a new erotic imagination, Vera must come to terms with the shadows she carries before the shadows consume her.
