![]() ![]() In his hands, awe and redemption hinge into unforgettable and gorgeous poems.” -Eduardo C. Kaveh Akbar has crafted one of the best debuts in recent memory. His imagery-wounded and resplendent-is masterful and his syntax ensnares and releases music that’s both delicate and muscular. He is the author of Calling a Wolf a Wolf (Alice James 2017) and the chapbook Portrait of the Alcoholic (Sibling Rivalry). His poems appear recently or soon in The New Yorker, Poetry, APR, Tin House, PBS NewsHour, and elsewhere. Akbar’s mind, like his language, is perpetually in motion. Kaveh Akbar is the founding editor of Divedapper. The desolation of alcoholism widens into hard-won insight: ‘the body is a mosque borrowed from Heaven.’ Doubt and fear spiral into grace and beauty. “In Calling a Wolf a Wolf, Kaveh Akbar exquisitely and tenaciously braids astonishment and atonement into a singular lyric voice. Poems confront craving, control, the constant battle of alcoholism and sobriety, and the questioning of the self and its instincts within the context of this never-ending fight. “The struggle from late youth on, with and without God, agony, narcotics and love is a torment rarely recorded with such sustained eloquence and passion as you will find in this collection.” -Fanny Howe This highly-anticipated debut boldly confronts addiction and courses the strenuous path of recovery, beginning in the wilds of the mind.

![]() ![]() The film ended, and the credits came up, and he leaned over and he put his hand on my shoulder, and he said, 'You did a beautiful job.' And then I just died. I spent the whole movie trying not to throw up, and staring at my own foot, and kind of overanalyzing every single noise he made next to me. ![]() I sat with him in an empty theater and watched the movie with him. "I finished the movie, I brought the film to Bangor,, and I showed him Doctor Sleep. "This was really cool," says the director. I pitched him one scene, and then he thought about it, and he came back, and said, 'Okay, then go ahead.'" I said, 'The rest of the story, I'm going to try and stay as faithful as I possibly can, but the final fight will take place - instead of on the grounds that used to be the Overlook - it's actually inside the space. ![]() And then I said, 'Well, let me tell you how I would approach it.' I pitched him one scene inside the Overlook. It lives right up in my brain because of Stanley Kubrick. If you say 'Overlook Hotel,' I see something. There's no other language to tell that story in. ![]() " The Shining is so ubiquitous and has burned itself into the collective imagination of people who love cinema in a way that so few movies have. "I said, 'Look, I'm a King fanatic, I have been since I'm a kid, you are my hero, but when I read Doctor Sleep, all the images in my head were Kubrick's images,'" says the filmmaker, whose other credits include the TV show The Haunting of Hill House and a previous King adaptation, 2017's Gerald's Game. ![]() ![]() It is beautifully told, with vivid images of the landscape, ways of life, and culture of Myanmar. The title comes from Tin Win’s ability to distinguish different heartbeats, since his hearing has become more acute. Tin Win develops a condition with his eyes, such that he becomes blind, and Mi Mi is born with a defect to her feet. Both Tin Win and Mi Mi have a disability, which initially brings them together and enables love to blossom. This is a classic love story between two young people separated by circumstances, family interference, and distance. She travels to Myanmar and stays with a man, U Ba, who knows her father’s story. It opens with Julia, a New York woman, searching for her father, Tin Win, who had abandoned her family. This is one of the few books I have read set in Myanmar (back when it was called Burma). ![]() ![]() But perhaps he merely loves us in some idiosyncratic way that we fail to recognize.†We assert that the other person does not love us. We wish to be loved as we ourselves would love. Then we acknowledge as love primarily those things that correspond to our own image thereof. We project our own capacities—for good as well as evil—onto the other person. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pickering, on the other hand, studies Indian dialects as an amateur. He is extremely rational, quick to get carried away and to swear he attaches little importance to human relations and to the young florist herself. To him Eliza is a subject of experimentation. Eliza cleverly seizes this opportunity and convinces the two men to educate her. Higgins boasts to Pickering that he is able to turn the flower girl into a duchess within six months, teaching her the distinguished use of the English language and its pronunciation. Taking shelter from the rain, she meets two gentlemen, the linguist Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering, back from India. Eliza is uneducated, neglected, speaks with a dreadful cockney accent, and is easily irritated. George Bernard Shaw's play, meanwhile, features a real young woman, Eliza Doolittle, who is selling flowers in the street in Covent Garden. ![]() ![]() The goddess Aphrodite then gives life to the statue, which Pygmalion marries 1. In an ancient legend, Pygmalion is a Cypriot sculptor who shapes an ivory statue of a woman, Galatea, and falls in love with her. But this play, which inspired the American musical comedy My Fair Lady, is above all the origin of a very important concept for anyone who educates, trains, coaches, mentors or directs others: the Pygmalion effect. It was both a critique of English society at the time, which was organized into separate social classes, and a plea for the proper use of the English language. In 1912, George Bernard Shaw wrote a five-act play called Pygmalion. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nick befriends Charlie when they are put in the same class in their British grammar school, but it soon becomes clear to them both that this is something more than friendship, as they navigate the highs and lows of first love, friendships, coming out, and mental health.
