"Would that the Roman people had but one neck," said the mad emperor Caligula, "that I might chop it through." In Arranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic, Mike Wilson takes on our own mad would-be emperor, a man "sharpening the hatchet / for our collective suicide." Wilson, a poet of keen intelligence, guides us through this upside-down world where "Antarctica is hotter than L.A." and "all the answers on Jeopardy are lies." Here is the MAGA-hatted, assault-rifle toting cult that drinks, not the Kool-Aid but the Clorox. Here is God the barfly "ordering a round for everyone / but without instructions for an Ark." A government as terrifyingly absurd as Trump''s might seem to defy the poet, but Wilson distils our anger with skill and wit. Arranging deck chairs on the Titanic might be the futile gesture of those who refuse to see impending disaster, but it might also be an assertion of human dignity in the face of madness. - Sherry Chandler
Life is a moving, changing thing which insists we be flexible. Thankfully, we are given endless opportunities to grow and move forward when old opinions, attitudes and ambitions no longer suit who we are today. A rich and abundant history of intellectuals and artists have paved the way for us to make the most out of this time on earth. With Cinderella Sweeping Up, Erin Chandler combines her own hard-earned life lessons with those of our histories most influential thinkers. Whether it be Albert Camus, a French philosopher in the 1950s, Buster Keaton, the Vaudevillian genius from the 1920s, Hunter S. Thompson in 1995, Oscar Wilde in 1880 or Buddhist Monk, Huineng in 680 A.D., we learn from each other what it means to be alive. Each of the seventy essays studies a beautiful or damned circumstance and takes a celebratory look at life.
