How I Met Your Mother
I saw her at a party, walked up and said, I wonder if you would mind getting married, buying a house, enduring the agony of childbirth a couple of times, watching a lot of Netflix together, dining out (I'm thinking, specifically, of the osso buco at Rugerri's), getting a dog, negotiating mortgages, and finally sitting by me in those last days, arranging the funeral, tidying up, then starting your strange new life, the one without me. Is that too much to ask? And she sipped her mojito and said, what are we waiting for? by George Bilgere

A Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons proposal to teach Canadian medical students more about âanti-racismâ and âoppressionâ than âmedical expertiseâ has doctors and academics alarmed. This week, Do No Harm, a medical watchdog group, launched a petition for physicians to oppose the recommendation, saying it would âcorrupt medicineâ in Canada. âThe Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons may force medical students to learn more about âanti-racismâ than actual medicine. Canadian health care is on the fast track to racial division and discrimination,â the organization stated Monday. The proposal comes from an interim report by the collegeâs Anti-Racism Expert Working Group. The Royal College oversees medical school education programs in Canada. Medical training should center around âvalues such as anti-oppression, anti-racism, and social justice, rather than medical expertise,â according to the report, shared in late November by a member of the working group. The interim report recommends âde-centering medical expertiseâ and instead focusing medical school education on the values of âanti-racism,â âanti-oppression,â âsocial justice and equity,â âinclusive compassion,â and âdecolonization.â

By the time the Berlin Wall fell, in 1989, there were some two hundred thousand unofficial collaborators working for the East German security service, known as the Stasiâone spy for every fifty to sixty people in the country. Among the informants was Salomea Genin, whose family had fled Germany before the start of the Second World War, and who returned as a young woman dedicated to the Communist cause. âThere is only one way to live with my life,â Genin explains to Burkhard Bilger in a captivating piece from this weekâs issue. âAnd thatâs to be open about the facts.â
Genin is not alone in wanting to face the past. In January, 1992, the newly unified government made almost the entire archive of Stasi reports available to the public, an act of radical official transparency. But there was still much that the Stasi had managed to hide. In the weeks before the Wall came down, their agents destroyed as many documents as they couldâmuch was pulped, shredded, and burned, but between forty million and fifty-five million pages were torn up and stuffed in sacks. The Germans have spent the past thirty years trying to piece those back together, by hand. So far, less than five per cent of the torn documents have been reassembled. Now an effort is under way to automate the process, using A.I. programs and the latest digital scanners. âThe Stasi files,â Bilger writes, âoffer an astonishingly granular picture of life in a dictatorshipâhow ordinary people act under suspicious eyes.â They are âlike an endless police blotter: a meticulous, bewilderingly detailed account of an entire societyâs deceptions and betrayals.â As far-right and authoritarian groups are on the rise across Europe, âthe files have never seemed more relevant.â

LâaccusĂ©, dâabord, Robert Brasillach, 36 ans. « Un ĂȘtre plein de contradiction » Ă©crit M. Bilger qui fait du critique littĂ©raire, du romancier tendre et lĂ©ger, du poĂšte et du polĂ©miste violent, un portrait juste et nuancĂ© dans lâensemble. Surtout, il lui reconnaĂźt lâintelligence et le courage dâavoir compris par avance quâil serait seul contre tous et que son unique recours, face aux juges et Ă lâHistoire, serait de bien se tenir : « Le dernier mot de la morale reste lâallure ». Et dâallure, Ă aucun instant, Brasillach nâen a manquĂ©.

Hui had experienced severe abdominal pain on her way to work one day and then began to bleed â both common signs of a miscarriage, The Weekly Observer reports. Everyone, including doctors, thought she had lost the baby. But nearly two weeks later, doctors confirmed that she still was pregnantâŠ

FLP BOOK OF THE DAY: Rare Fuel by Rex Wilder âWINNER OF THE 2023 The Donna Wolf-Palacio Poetry Prizeâ
On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/rare-fuel-by-rex-wilder-winner-of-the-2023-the-donna-wolf-palacio-poetry-prize/
In Rare Fuel, Rex Wilderâs fourth book, #winner of the Finishing Line Press Donna Wolf-Palacio #Poetry Prize, the author is âthe Virgil who guides us through the underworld of his own personal hellâ (George Bilgere), âhis time as an inpatient in a mental health facility, alongside the kindness, the weirdness, the characters and the discoveries he made there. You can place it alongside the languageâs other great verse chronicles of madness: Christopher Smart, say, or Ivor Gurneyâ (Stephanie Burt). The book resonates with the wisdom of a man âdeeply invested in the mortal world,â as A.E. Stallings once highlighted. The poems ring with âthe exhilaration of freedom from the chains of confinementâ (Grace Schulman). Rex Wilder does not merely return to form here; he transcends it, offering readers a rare and vibrant fuel to illuminate their darkest nights.
PRAISE FOR Rare Fuel by Rex Wilder âWINNER OF THE 2023 The Donna Wolf-Palacio Poetry Prizeâ
Technically deft and emotionally intelligent, devoted to clarity and never simple, open to all and yet resistant to normies, worldly and otherworldly, âoff leash at last,â Wilderâs fourth collection holds together around its memorable topic: the poetâs time as an inpatient in a mental health facility, alongside the kindness, the weirdness, the characters and the discoveries he made there. You can place it alongside the languageâs other great verse chronicles of madness: Christopher Smart, say, or Ivor Gurney. You can also place it, easily, in the company of poets known for a fine ear: half-rhyming âtellâ with âeconomical,â say, and finding the assonance between âashoreâ and âloveâ amid the âstandoffish deeps. Also, âgraveâ and âgrieveâ and the sand in a sieve. Donât let this one slip through your living hands.
âStephanie Burt (she/her) Donald and Catherine Loker Professor of English, Harvard University, poet, and âone of the most influential poetry critics of her generationâ (New York Times)
In Rare Fuel, Rex Wilder is the Virgil who guides us through the underworld of his own personal hell, a mental breakdown that nearly killed him. With utter candor, Wilder describes his remarkable, harrowing journey from the brink of self-annihilation and back to this lovely world, and what I admire most about these poems is that he finds a way to give language to the unsayable. How do you describe the mind unmoored, the soul deranged? Wilder finds words for this, in a collection that will leave you shakenâbut nonetheless full of hope. A beautiful book.
âGeorge Bilgere, Poet Laureate Billy Collinsâ âwelcome breath of fresh, American airâ and Distinguished Professor of English at John Carroll University
Rex Wilder makes words unveil feelings, and his poems are new and surprising while hewing to traditional forms. He writes about serious mental illness with sly wit, unfolding meaning, and unsentimental pathos. This collection is generous and universalâembracing the world with all its trials and triumphs and grounding us in memory, recollection, and joy; as he writes in âRecipe,â âIt will get dark with or without us / but without us, I wonât care.â
âKatherine Howell, Literary Editor, National Review
In Rex Wilderâs poems, his âtraumatized heartâ beats with troubled and tenacious language. Excruciating experiences toward self-worth and sanity keep the reader rapt, awaiting an uneasy affirmation of âpeaceable suspense.â These are honest poems of perseverance, seeking clarity and calm while his cri de coeur persists.
âSusan Kinsolving, winner of the Poetry Society of Americaâs Lyric Poetry Award and finalist for The National Book Critics Circle Award
Honestly, as a psychiatrist and a human, I would read anything Rex Wilder writes. In these penetrating, intimate poems, the author courageously chronicles a dark night of the soul depression, his inpatient stay in a psychiatric facility, and breathtaking emergence into the light. I applaud Rex as a powerful role model for others on similar journeys as they grow in ways that will uplift their souls. Highly recommended.
âJudith Orloff, MD and New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Empathy
In Rare Fuel, by Rex Wilder, a severe illness leads to reparation, even wholeness, in language that is fresh and lyrical, and in an original use of classical forms. After recovery, the poet gains wisdom and shares it with us all. Thereâs a new music in many of his lines: âevery song / begins in songâs absence,â in âlooking is no substitute for seeing,/ And every illness can startle love into being,â âthis strain of love, its stain,â âthe high note / only a lover can bearâ or âI laugh / at the Church of I Guess./ I have nothing to confess.â âCanal Nocturneâ is a sensitive, original take on the pandemic. The book rings with the exhilaration of freedom from the chains of confinement.
âGrace Schulman, Author of Again, the Dawn: New and Selected Poems and winner of the Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement in Poetry
