RESPECTFUL IDEATION is the reluctance to permit the association of different individual mental impressions when there is no unquestionable basis for the link. Even though creating a deliberate interaction between these polymorphic thoughts would make for a more contended cognitive system, the probability of blemishing the truth preserves respect...

Selected by Marie Howe for the 2011 Kathryn A. Morton Prize, Easy Math is anxious and exuberant both. Lauren Shapiro's poems are Aesop stood on end, wry fables that defy our instinct to find a moral to the story.

Until you end up homeless in a red station wagon, sleeping by your mother's side atop boxes of your belongs. Yes, nothing quite like those fledgling years into adulthood.

Here now is a steamy collection
Of limericks rare. Each selection
Will run for five lines,
Contain marvelous rhymes-
Detailing sex acts of subtle complexion.
Some readers may think that it's crude
To offer for sale what is lewd
But if you're offended
By what is appended,
We'll say what you are; you're a prude!
