Energiesparlampen in der Diskussion (Sep 30 2008 09:59 GMT) - Durch einen Artikel der Zeitschrift Öko-Test zu Energiesparlampen gab es bereits einige Reaktionen verschiedener Blogs, doch die Reaktion müsste eigentlich heftiger ausfallen. Immerhin wird die Einsparmöglichkeit durch Energiesparlampen in Frage gestellt und wieder mal auf Elektrosmog und auf die schlechte Lichtqualität verwiesen. Natürlich hat der Stromverbrauch für die Beleuchtung nur einen kleinen Anteil am [...] |

The Poetry Of Memories (Sep 30 2008 09:59 GMT) - CSmonitor dot com The poetry of memories By Heller McAlpin, September 29, 2008 It's inevitable to repeat yourself when you write as much – and as personally – as Donald Hall. The 2006 US Poet Laureate and author of more than 30 books acknowledges the repetitions somewhat apologetically, but he needn't worry: We enjoy the reminders of such beloved earlier works as "Fathers Playing Catch With Sons," "Life Work," and his trio of volumes about the illness and terrible loss of his wife and fellow poet Jane Kenyon nearly as much as fresh bulletins from his contemplative life. In his new memoir, Unpacking the Boxes, Hall returns to old memories and his three big themes – "Love, death, and New Hampshire." Most remarkable, however, is the final chapter, in which he brings us up-to-date – soberly, movingly, with characteristic frankness – on his "thoughtful life on antiquity's planet" as he approaches his 80th birthday. |

Best Writers Of The Romantic Movement (Sep 30 2008 09:59 GMT) - Examiner dot com Oklahoma City Best Writers of the Romantic Movement By Guy Incognito, September 29, 2008 Started in the early 19th century as a response to Sentamentalism, the Romantic movement ushered in a period of writing that rebelled against Alexander Pope's idea of "nature methodized", an oft-cited quote from his Essay on Criticism. The Romantics had little use for man enforcing his will on the world around him. Rather, their interests were founded in the effects that the world had on man. |

Allan Halbert, conductor and music director for the Tigard-based community orchestra, has scored two of those compositions, “Even in the Desert” and “The Animal That Drank Up Sound.” “As soon as I heard Paula sing the Stafford songs at her manager’s home one evening, I knew I had to include her in my concert-tribute to local composers,” Halbert said. |

Poetry Bailout Will Restore Confidence Of Readers (Sep 30 2008 09:59 GMT) - Harper's Magazine Poetry Bailout Will Restore Confidence of Readers By Charles Bernstein, September 26, 2008 From a statement read at an event marking the release of Best American Poetry 2008, held last night at The New School, in New York City. David Lehman is the series editor of Best American Poetry, and Robert Polito is the director of the writing program at The New School. Chairman Lehman, Secretary Polito, distinguished poets and readers—I regret having to interrupt the celebrations tonight with an important announcement. As you know, the glut of illiquid, insolvent, and troubled poems is clogging the literary arteries of the West. These debt-ridden poems threaten to infect other areas of the literary sector and ultimately to topple our culture industry. |

Poster Poems: The Rhythm Of The Falling Rain (Sep 30 2008 09:59 GMT) - Guardian co UK Poster poems: The rhythm of the falling rain By Billy Mills, September 26 2008 Over the last few months, the cheapest and most readily-available form of entertainment here in the western half of Ireland has been looking through panes of glass at falling water. Rain: it's one of those natural phenomena that can be very difficult for nature to get right, and this year there's been just a touch too much, for my tastes at least. In fact, it's been so wet that I found myself, from time to time, humming a song by William Shakespeare that I had first learned in school; |
