  2. 'My Bright Abyss' explores the essence of faith

    Death, God, existential anxiety — these are not uncommon themes for poets to tackle. But for Christian Wiman, who recently announced he will leave his post as editor of Poetry magazine and who has authored three strong and skillful collections of poetry, these are matters of deep urgency, not mere abstractions or intellectual diversions.

  3. PepsiCo-Lil Wayne split marks shaky alliance of rappers, business

    Corporations are quick to recruit rappers to sell their soft drinks, shoes and smartphones — but the moment there's a whiff of controversy, they are just as quick to cut them loose. The latest example is PepsiCo and Lil Wayne. Last week, the...

  4. Winnetka students recognized for literary talent

    When 16-year-old Josh Hoeflich was contemplating a topic for an essay for a summer class last year, he didn't have to look far for inspiration. The Glencoe teenager said he decided to write about his relationship with his older brother.

  5. Bieber vs. Beethoven; a new twist on battle rap

    Comedian Lloyd Ahlquist steps onto the stage, girded for battle. Wearing the uniform of a Soviet officer, with medals dripping from his chest, he channels dictator Joseph Stalin and prepares to deliver a rhyming smackdown on Russia's mad monk, Grigori Rasputin.

  7. Five books by Chicago authors appearing at Lit Fest

    In Thomas Dyja's cultural history of Chicago, "The Third Coast," he writes that in Nelson Algren's day, "being Chicago's Famous Writer was like winning the heavyweight title — there was only one at a time, and you kept the belt for as long as you could beat all comers." That's not true anymore. But while you may know the names of many of the city's heaviest hitters — Gillian Flynn, Chris Ware, Stuart Dybek — Printers Row Lit Fest offers a chance to become familiar with many more. This week's roundup features five Chicago-area authors — some more established than others — who each published debut novels within the past year.

  9. Lyric's passion must extend to musical theater

    In 2008, New York's Lincoln Center revived a Broadway warhorse: "South Pacific." At the beginning of the overture in the Vivian Beaumont Theater, the lip of Michael Yeargan's setting, which had the outline of a tropical island, began to move backward, as waves ebb upon a shore. As it receded, hordes of musicians were revealed, all playing the glorious music of Richard Rodgers. You could see tears in people's eyes. As the Russian formalists used to put it, the familiar was made strange, and the strange made intensely familiar.
