...Crimson also features lefty Ryan Watson and former Ivy League Rookie of the Year Adam Cole, a pair of senior hurlers looking to go out on a positive note after disappointing careers. Both pitchers have been plagued by control issues in their time at Harvard, but seem committed to exorcising their demons in hopes of turning in a redemptive senior campaign. “Every once in a while both those guys will start throwing 55-footers and you’re kind of, ‘Well here we go,’ and then—boom...
...person he has become. The order of these scenes—neither chronological nor under the sway of any organizing voice—and the degree to which each story is important to the novel’s framework are both arbitrary.

...seaside sense of relief stems from it being “close to the end of something.” Lepson holds two forms of transience parallel: that of the open ocean against that of human life.Others among Lepson’s collection—those poems that seem to be more portrait than anything else—are caught up in the concept of mortality. “Motet for Mom” consists purely of fragmented conversations between a daughter and her hospitalized mother. The poem is made all the more powerful for its ambivalence toward the poignant...
