Seven Days decided to tap into that reservoir of bibliographic wisdom. We asked five Vermont librarians to choose their five favorite reads of '05, and tell us why. We weren't very specific about the sorts of titles we wanted -- the pros were free to choose poetry or prose, fiction or nonfiction. And, as you'll notice, not all their picks were books published in 2005. No matter. As any librarian will tell you, a good book is like a good bottle of wine: Its complexity is revealed after being open for a while. Swann's Way by Marcel Proust. (Translated by Lydia Davis) Almost every summer for the last decade I have packed my three-volume translation of Remembrance of Things Past for "vacation reading." I usually make it through 15 to 20 sleep-drenched pages before I throw in the towel and d...

Good Night." "The Linden Tree." "The Crow." "The Hurdy-Gurdy Man." Anyone who knows Schubert knows these songs, even with the titles in English. They are four of the 24 poems in Die Winterreise (Winter Journey), by Wilhelm Mller. Franz Schubert set the poetry to music in 1827, a year before his death at 31; he also had chosen Mller's poetry for his first great cycle in 1823, Die schne Mllerin (The Beautiful Mill-Girl).
When Gov. Paul LePage and poet Wesley McNair meet at the Blaine House this coming Wednesday afternoon for McNair's formal installation as Maine's fourth poet laureate, it will mark one of those encounters between poetry and power that are a recurring feature of American public life. Many still remember New England's Robert Frost reciting at John Kennedy's inauguration as president, setting an example still followed to this day. There was no poetry at LePage's inauguration. The organizing committee decided poetry was "dry," a judgment that brought protests from some of the state's most prominent writers, including McNair, who lives two towns east of Farmington in Mercer. So the significance of the event will be heightened by LePage's decision to spotlight his laureate choice, and by McNa...

(I waited to erupt.) In Hayes's propulsive approximations to blank verse, Superman represents an impossible attempt to master the energies of the body; the Hulk, here given his TV name David Banner (in the comics, his alter ego is Bruce), represents the boy overpowered by those same energies, analogous to a volcano, or to a wet dream. Part of the tonal effect attempted in Dietrich's and Parmenter's sonnets, and throughout McDaniel's poems, comes from the surprising similarity between what they know about comic book heroes - a depth of knowledge not associated with wisdom, nor with high-culture reward - and what they know about technique in poetry, a depth of knowledge historically associated with those things (as when Aristotle calls poetry "wiser and weightier," philosophoteron kai sp...

This research examines the prosecutions of four noted libertarians: free love advocate Ezra Heywood; Dr. Edward Bond Foote, a well-known New York physician and medical publisher; two prominent free thought publishers, DeRobigne M. Bennett and Moses Harman; and the subsequent libertarian campaign for broad First Amendment protection for all citizens which ensued from their arrests and prosecutions. That individuals were putting forth a libertarian philosophy of free expression in the 1870s (albeit largely under the auspices of individual rights rather than the later interpretation of social benefits), demonstrates the formative period of modern First Amendment development occurred decades earlier than is often acknowledged. The research argues that these liberal thinkers, all too cogniza...
