An
informative, gossipy and surprisingly engaging 6-page exploration of the life of Charles Dickens, including his
up-and-down relationship with the U.S. press, his
inexcusable behavior during his messy and very public separation from his wife, the
"histrionic flair" of his performance career, and, of course, his works, including the one George Bernard Shaw called "a more seditious book than
Das Kapital." Lots of interesting images, too.

Text Etc. is a
sprawling,
highly engaging,
nearly obsessive look at the
craft and
theory of poetry, including
sound patterning,
fractal criticism,
poetry heresies, brief, clear intros to theorists like
Bakhtin,
Lacan and
Foucault,
writing instruction and
much more.
