  8. It's summertime and the reading's easy

    As life seems to slow to a snail’s pace during summer’s languorous days, it’s the perfect time to indulge in reading. Thrillers and spooky tales provide a particular chill on a torpid evening. Light and breezy reads are the perfect accompaniment for an afternoon beneath a beach umbrella. And should your tastes run a bit deeper, the longer days or half-day Fridays may just be the right time for a new political discussion or memoir.

  11. Poem: Stanley Plumly's 'Cancer'

    <em>In recent years, poet Stanley Plumly gave readers &quot;Posthumous Keats," a gorgeous, award-winning prose meditation on the great English Romantic poet's life and death. </em><em> With "Orphan Hours: Poems" (W.W. Norton: $25.95), the Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, ruminates again on the topic of mortality, though this time the subject is much closer to home. Surely there's a struggle ahead for anyone with a serious illness, but in the poem "Cancer," he offers a </em><em>respite from the horror by addressing the disease from a startling, cosmic perspective.</em>

  12. Richard Ford finds his place in 'Canada'

    It's tempting to call Richard Ford a writer of place. Beginning with his first novel, 1976's &quot;A Piece of My Heart," the 68-year-old author has tended toward the border among landscape, language and character, using setting to help drive his narratives. Think of Frank Bascombe, who in "The Sportswriter," "Independence Day" and "The Lay of the Land" drifts across the bland surfaces of New Jersey, seeking not stimulation but a stasis similar to that of the suburbs where he resides. Or the people of Ford's Montana books, "Rock Springs" and "Wildlife": etched by the stark environment in which they find themselves, staring down the elements of their lives.
