![]() ![]() ![]() Poets of my generation have a unique reverence for Crush, seemingly universally. Nelson: They are our songs of heartbreak and hope. ![]() I did something to people, or Crush did something to people, and I wondered about what kind of culpability I might have. But tell me a little more about what you mean by anthem. Richard Siken: I had to come to terms with the ramifications of having made something. What was it like writing your second book after the remarkable success of your first? He is a recipient of a Pushcart Prize, two Arizona Commission on the Arts grants, two Lannan Residencies, and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.Ĭhristopher Nelson: There are probably too many media today for a single book of poems to be an anthem for a generation, but if it were possible, I think my generation would pick Crush. Richard Siken’s poetry collection Crush won the 2004 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize, a Lambda Literary Award, the Thom Gunn Award, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.

As with many deserving novels it has never had the exposure it deserves. For many who have read the book it becomes a treasured part of their collection. It won the first ever World Fantasy Award for best novel back in 1975, an achievement more remarkable when considering that it was only the authors third novel. The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is fantasy at it's finest, it exemplifies and defines the genre in a way few others have. ![]() ![]() ![]() An alternative thesis is the one Perlstein seemed to be framing up with his first, shorter, and better book: that the crucial bridge in modern Republican politics was the one leading from Barry Goldwater to Reagan.

Urizen must counteract the scepticism of Ho-Yung and Enicharmon, I must myself counteract the impetuosity of Gutch. But be sure that the intermediates are many and varied, for in history one authority exists to counteract another. Through the medium of these ten great minds, the blood that was shed at Paris and the windows that were broken at Versailles will be clarified to an idea which you may employ most profitably in your daily lives.

Considered one of the best short stories of Lovecraft's early period, aspects of The Cats of Ulthar would be referenced again in the author's works The Other Gods and The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. Influenced by Lord Dunsany, the tale was a personal favorite of Lovecraft's and has remained popular since his death. Upon witnessing the result, the local politicians pass a law forbidding the killing of cats. Upon hearing of the couple's violent acts towards cats, Menes invokes a prayer before leaving town that causes the local felines to swarm the cat-killers' house and devour them.
