![]() ![]() The Ballad of Reading Gaol, by Oscar Wilde, was written in 1897 after Wilde’s release from Reading Gaol, where he had been incarcerated for two years (sentenced to two years hard labour) after being convicted of homosexual offences. So no excuse not to give it a go and ignore the rest if you feel the need □ A small piece of backstory on the poem itself: ![]() The whole book, if downloaded as an ebook, is free, though. This is a review of the singular poem by the title ‘Ballad of Reading Gaol’ not the other works that appear in the book of the same name. Please note that the book/ebook does contain many other poems by Wilde. I know, I know, poetry isn’t for everyone, but I truly feel that this poem (whether you love poetry or detest it) truly could be for everyone. Today I am breaking away from the usual sort of short read I review and opting for a poem. Ordinarily, on a Sunday, I review a short piece of fiction. Purchase: Amazon UK, Amazon US, The Book Depository ![]() My rating of ‘The Ballad of Reading Gaol’: 5 out of 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() The moral imagination, as Panichas understands it, is the sine qua non of a long rhetorical tradition extending from Aristotle and Horace through Sidney and Johnson to the leaders of the New Humanism, Irving Babbitt and Paul Elmer More. Panichas illuminates the novels’ sympathy for “common mortals” who “must endure,” as Conrad put it, “the load of gifts from heaven: the curse of facts and the blessings of illusions, the bitterness of wisdom and the deceptive consolation of folly.” In fine, Panichas attempts to renew interest in Conrad’s moral imagination. He endeavors to explain Conrad’s response in these fictions to man’s perpetual struggle against the constraints of the human condition. Panichas, the longtime editor of Modern Age, examines seven novels of Joseph Conrad: Lord Jim, Under Western Eyes, Nostromo, The Secret Agent, Chance, Victory, and The Rover. In his 2005 critical achievement, George A. Panichas (165 pages, Mercer University Press, 2005) Joseph Conrad: His Moral Vision, by George A. ![]() For Joseph Conrad, the struggle between good and evil in the human soul was a permanent reality, a reality one might prefer to avoid, or try to sublimate, but one that nobody who has lived long can absolutely deny. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This all seemed very romantic to me, learning about the bad boys of the restaurant world. He was provocative on purpose, poking the reader with a stick with each taboo topic. Particularly memorable are the stories about chefs having sex with customers in the walk-ins the revelation that he had a dangerous cocaine habit when he worked at Les Halles that carried over to the kitchen and his strict instructions on what to eat and what to avoid in a restaurant, which I parroted to everyone I dined out with for the next three to five years (“Tony says skip the shrimp, only order the fish on Tuesday and Thursday”). He should have known better.Īt first, I was shocked but secretly delighted by what he revealed in the pages of Kitchen Confidential, which was published on an astonishing 20 years ago. ![]() ![]() That’s why reading Kitchen Confidential is such a let down today. I think that was true for anyone who devotedly followed his career. The more I learned about him, the more enamored with him I became. I had just been hired at a magazine focused on restaurants and chefs - my first foray into food writing - and, as it turned out, it would become not just necessary but absolutely pertinent to know everything about Bourdain. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Play over 320 million tracks for free on SoundCloud.

I love that folks who visit my home get to enjoy my plants and see my politics in practice. My home is both a personal refuge and a home for my collection of plants because the personal is indeed always political. I also think a lot about my ancestors tending to soil and the connection to cultivating food, providing nourishment, and sustaining life. I’m always thinking about how Black folks experience environmental racism and often lack of access to green space is a manifestation of that inequity. Happy #NationalHouseplantDay!! This is the face my plants see every morning as we great each other and they give me copious amounts of joy! Plants for me are self care, an aesthetic choice, and really a political act. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The only person who really seems to understand is Clem’s friend and biggest competition, the cute vegan chef Alexander Orr.

When Ma’s tooth begins to pain her, she tells Jack that it hurts less if she does not think about it. If we don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” Ma, 'Presents' Thus, it is ironic that he claims to know ‘everything’ at this moment in time, for it foreshadows all the hard truths with which he has yet to struggle. While he still has the dependence and mindset of a toddler, it is at this age that Jack actually does begin to learn everything about the outside because Ma knows he is ready for it. He no longer sees himself as a "little kid," and this is partially true. Jack is able to self-consciously identify the difference in his character, due to the difference in his age.
