Kees, by comparison, proposes that this is simply how it is, and does so with enough coolness and elegance that it comes as no surprise that Wallace Stevens wrote to Kees ordering a volume of a limited edition of his verse.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/23349/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Weekly Listicle: Method In Our Movie Madness</title><link>http://calitreview.com/20598</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/20598#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 07 Oct 2011 15:42:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Dan Fields</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Best Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Horror]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Literary Themes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mystery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Poetry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Satire]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Science Fiction and Fantasy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Television]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Fourth Wall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Theatre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Thrillers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Band Of Brothers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Charles Bronson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Clint Eastwood]]></category> <category><![CDATA[George Clooney]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ides Of March]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies action]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies comedy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies Drama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies thriller]]></category> <category><![CDATA[North by Northwest]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ryan Gosling]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Shakespeare]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Where Eagles Dare]]></category> <guid

A quick glance indicates that Shakespeare has provided titles for an alarming number of <em>Star Trek</em> episodes, just for starters. This week, lend your ears to Brett Harrison Davinger and me (Dan Fields) as we look at some of our favorite films to borrow a title from the works of Shakespeare.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/20598/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Book Review: Beautiful &amp; Pointless: A Guide to Modern Poetry by David Orr</title><link>http://calitreview.com/18127</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/18127#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:00:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Abigail Licad</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Books]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Literary Themes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Poetry]]></category> <guid

He recounts his life-changing discovery of the poet Philip Larkin, and his experience of helping his father, a stroke victim, improve his speech through readings of Edward Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussycat.”]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/18127/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Movie Time Nostalgia, Part 4: We Are All Children Of Paradise</title><link>http://calitreview.com/12538</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/12538#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 09 Nov 2010 10:00:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Dan Fields</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Best Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Classics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[France]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Humor]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Literary Themes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Poetry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Fourth Wall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Theatre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children Of Paradise]]></category> <category><![CDATA[classic French film]]></category> <category><![CDATA[French film]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jacques Prevert]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marcel Carne]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies french]]></category> <category><![CDATA[movies nostalgia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pantomime]]></category> <category><![CDATA[theatre]]></category> <guid

Civilization’s tapestry, its complicated patterns interwoven from multitudes of poets and poetries, once covered their walls and held our attention.  Will there come to be in the global village but one faceless, boring bard who speaks with the reduced, infinitely reductive voice the simplified and platitudinous messages of the Media?]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/50/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Borges: A Poet&#8217;s Quest for Simplicity</title><link>http://calitreview.com/43</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/43#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:29:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Miha Pintaric</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Literary Themes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Poetry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[J.
