...have been aware that there is nothing more to give to this poem than an initial flabbergasted smirk quickly followed by dismissal. In “Davis Square, Somerville: Colonial Woman at the Au Bon Pain,” Holder writes, “And Underneath / A bone-white bonnet / Lies the waves and crests / Of luxuriant / Beguiling / Purple Hair.” For once, Holder seems to have found an interesting figure, yet his poem fails to lift this unusual woman from the paper and into life. Though Holder pays a lot of attention to her physical appearance...
...Black Cat snipers watching the building, I could see Nariman House's shattered windows. The couple who own the building are Jewish, giving rise to rumors throughout the day that "Israelis" were somehow involved in the attacks.

The pastoral depictions of Indonesian village life produced by Bonnet and others were dismissed by Sudjojono as so much shallow Orientalism. "For my people, reality is the reality of rice," he wrote in 1950, arguing for a muscular realism. One of the painters who was moved by Sudjojono's words...
...sews new life into the black clothing that she ripped apart at the seams. Something catches her eye—a plush sofa the size of a box of tissues. She holds it up to the back of her head, adjusting it so that it becomes a kind of bonnet. By the end of the hour she has finished sewing the rectangle of fabric that will become a thick, ruff-like collar that supports the back of the model’s neck. At 5 p.m., Hays sets down her partially-finished pieces and breaks out the lint roller...
