![]() ![]() ![]() One that particularly comes to mind is the nurse that was chasing down the psych patient as they were running to the hospital, that is so blatantly against all procedures and they are supposed to call security, I am having trouble finding sympathy for the nurse when he was successfully attacked by the patient. Most of the story seemed tame in some of these anecdotes are just downright illegal and I hope the nurses names have been changed so that they don’t get fired. I have had a patient with a neck between their teeth jump on top of people drooling in my face trying to recite the Pledge of Allegiance through a closed mouth.

While Jarrell himself never saw combat as a serviceman during World War II, those who did have found his war poems to be very true to life. But in “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” Jarrell also draws upon Freudian criticism in its use of womb imagery and Marxist criticism in its portrayal of an all-powerful “State” controlling the life of the helpless individual to create a complex, realistic portrait of war. Certainly the death portrayed here is mechanized and impersonal. Many Modernist works addressed the alienating effects upon the individual of a mechanized and impersonal society. Indeed, the grim tone of this poem places it firmly in the Modernist movement of literature. While the people and events of World War II are commonly found in Jarrell’s poetry, this poem is unique for its lack of wit. ![]() Despite the variety of Jarrell’s writing (he produced not only poetry but also fiction, criticism, and children’s literature), “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” is his most widely known work. ![]() ![]() ![]() That moment changed Terry's life forever, because in Tolkien's gre Terry Brooks was born in Illinois in 1944, where he spent a great deal of his childhood and early adulthood dreaming up stories in and around Sinnissippi Park, the very same park that would eventually become the setting for his bestselling Word & Void trilogy. A writer since high school, he wrote many stories within the genres of science fiction, western, fiction, and non-fiction, until one semester early in his college years he was given The Lord of the Rings to read. He went to college and received his undergraduate degree from Hamilton College, where he majored in English Literature, and he received his graduate degree from the School of Law at Washington & Lee University.

Sean Phillips’ work in Follow Me Down is, for me, defined by body language-and by a piece of decades-later character design in the book’s last third which is best left read for yourself. Thus, cars and Reckless’ surf van become stifling and isolating through heavy uses of black space, while the light greens of suburbia and the city and the tans of the desert stretch out far-rendering Reckless and Rachel as both striking and lonely amidst the vastness. ![]() Rachel, the book’s co-lead, is out for revenge on a crew who’ve made the road their kingdom. Where The Ghost in You mostly took place in a corner-and-secret-filled Hollywood mansion, Follow Me Down opts for locations that are both more and less open. Follow Me Down sees the trend continue, albeit with very different spaces. ![]() I wrote a bit about the way Phillips used color to shape space in my review of The Ghost in You, the previous volume of Reckless. ![]() Rachel, the woman Reckless will be hired to find, puts her plan into action in Sean Phillips, Jacob Phillips, and Ed Brubaker’s Follow Me Down from Image Comics. ![]() ![]() Can you breathe here? Here where the force is the greatest and only the strength of your neck holds the river out of your face. ![]() The strong water dashes down beside you and you feel it along your calves and thighs rising roughly backup, up to the roiling surface, full of bubbles that slide up your skin or break on you at full speed. The hard water pelts your skull, bangs in bits on your shoulders and arms. You leave the sleeping shore deliberately you shed your dusty clothes, pick your barefoot way over the high, slippery rocks, hold your breath, choose your footing, and step into the waterfall. This is how you spend this afternoon, and tomorrow morning, and tomorrow afternoon. Squeak into a gap in the soil, turn, and unlock-more than a maple- a universe. If you can find them they shift and vanish too. We are making hay when we should be making whoopee we are raising tomatoes when we should be raising Cain, or Lazarus. The world is wilder than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright. It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the creeks and winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, and then to sulk along the rest of your days on the edge of rage. “Thomas Merton wrote, “there is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life, making itsy-bitsy statues.” There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end. ![]() |
