  8. Lyric Opera offers sterling cast in 'Rigoletto'

  9. August Wilson's words came straight from his soul

    Stage and film legend James Earl Jones once said, "It's hard for an actor to go wrong if he's true to the words that August has written."
    Stage and film legend James Earl Jones once said, "It's hard for an actor to go wrong if he's true to the words that August has written." As an actor and writer, I have found that statement to be true of only a few playwrights. There is usually at least...

  11. Michael Robbins on reviewing

    No one dreams of being a book reviewer when he grows up. You might dream of writing poems or novels or essays or even, if you are perennially picked last for teams in gym class, literary criticism (&ldquo;We don't want Robbins, you can have an extra player&rdquo;; &ldquo;We don't want him, either!&rdquo;). These forms have their glamour, even if only the novelist is much prized by the united malls of America. But as Samuel Johnson almost said, &ldquo;No man but a blockhead ever wrote book reviews, except for money.&rdquo; I have had the rare fortune to see my poetic aspirations realized and then some (though fame is a fickle food), but poetry don't pay the rent. Not that anyone's getting rich from writing about how unputdownable a thriller is.

  12. 'My Bright Abyss' explores the essence of faith

    Death, God, existential anxiety &mdash; these are not uncommon themes for poets to tackle. But for Christian Wiman, who recently announced he will leave his post as editor of Poetry magazine and who has authored three strong and skillful collections of poetry, these are matters of deep urgency, not mere abstractions or intellectual diversions.
