Victor Lipman, Contributor
I write about management and corporate life.
The answer most often lies in managerial relationships. A recent national study by Dale Carnegie Training placed the number of "fully engaged" employees at 29%, and "disengaged" employees at 26% – meaning nearly three-quarters of employees are not fully engaged (aka productive). The number one factor the study cited influencing engagement and disengagement was "relationship with immediate supervisor." While this is no surprise to those in the management business (and we all intuitively know that our attitude toward our boss has a major impact on our feelings about work), my interest here is not to delve into this recent study – but to probe a bit into why manager-employee relationships are so chronically problematic.
At enormous costs, it's worth noting: The Bureau of National Affairs estimates U.S. businesses lose $11 billion annually due to employee turnover.
Why are these costly problems so persistent? My premise in this post is that the qualities companies traditionally look for when selecting and developing managers and executives are often not conducive to building positive, productive, engaged employee relationships.
To illustrate this, let's consider some examples from my own experience.
As a relatively new manager (back in the Pleistocene Era), I was told on numerous occasions by senior management, "You just don't seem like a manager. You just don't seem like executive material."
When I'd ask why, the answer would always be something along the lines of: "I don't know… you just seem too quiet, too soft-spoken – not authoritative enough."
To which I'd generally respond, "Don't judge my personality – judge results. Do people like working for me? Am I able to deliver large projects successfully?"
Over time my own management came, for the most part, to accept my style. But my point in this article is not about me – like most in management I had my strengths and weaknesses, my good days and bad. Rather, it's about what I observed in working with and for hundreds of other managers and executives over a long career. Put simply, the qualities commonly associated with management and leadership – being authoritative, decisive, forceful, perhaps somewhat controlling, if not moderated by a high degree of awareness as to how one comes across and is perceived by others, are also qualities that have the potential to easily alienate those on the receiving end. Most people chafe under too much authority, too much forcefulness, too much control.
So what qualities are more useful in fostering engaged, productive employees… in building positive manager-employee relationships? Almost without exception the most effective managers and executives I knew (in addition of course to possessing technical proficiency) shared these five – for lack of a better term – softer characteristics.
They were good listeners – less focused on imposing their own will than on hearing what others had to say.
They were perceptive – able to understand the sometimes subtle issues their direct reports were dealing with… as well as what motivated them and what didn't.
They were open communicators – approachable, candid, easy to talk to, available when needed.
They were of calm demeanor – not prone to excitability, able to remain cool under stress. (Nothing erodes loyalty quicker than humiliation on the wrong end of a hot temper.)
They were genuinely concerned about their direct reports' well-being – men and women of integrity who cared about their employees and could be trusted to keep their word.
Let me be clear: I'm no Management Pollyanna. I'm not advocating just being "a nice guy." You can't be – and still do your job. You can't be a conflict avoider. You have to be willing to make difficult decisions. As Chairman Mao once put it, "Revolution is not a dinner party." Nor is management – it's a tough, often painful business. And to be sure, other macro-level factors beyond personal relationships contribute to employee disengagement as well: layoffs, reorganizations and benefit cuts to name a few – the myriad of insecurities associated with working for companies under constant financial pressure in a fragile economy.
But as the Dale Carnegie study showed yet again, "relationship with immediate supervisor" remains the number one factor, the lead dog.
When companies are concerned about turnover, productivity, and chronically high levels of employee disengagement, they need to look thoughtfully at how they're selecting and training their managers.
They need to look thoughtfully at the type of people they're placing in these critical roles, and how they relate to others.
like this quote from Mao, "Revolution is not a dinner party." and the changes have to be right to improve the performance and willingness of all team members, including the managers/supervisors.
Great article. However you lost me on the Mao quote. I would not quote a man whose leadership resulted in the execution of millions.
For me, disengagement has _always_ come with a bad manager experience. Too many managers, especially new managers, think that they need to "manage" people, that the word "boss" is a verb.
It doesn't matter how much I like(d) my job if my "manager" makes me want to stay home.
Developing the qualities of a good manager is so important, especially in regards to fostering innovation within company processes and in regards to products.
Edifying employees is so important in this day and age since it seem that so many old fashioned "tried and true" business practices and techniques of corporate culture are falling by the wayside and being replaced with better ones. (Compare 9 to 5 and Office Space with what is going on at places like google.)
Great piece here! Really enjoyed it!
I really like your line of thinking in regards to personality vs. results when management doubts you. It's true, in that kind of position the results outweigh the "quiet" qualities. I think there are many ways to be a leader, and perhaps exploring that should be a priority for managers that want loyal employees.
From my experience – both in offices and as a freelancer with regular clients – I am most productive when I feel valued. If a manager or company invests in me in some way (such as flying me to another city for meetings, having casual lunches etc), I'm more likely to develop loyalty and increase my productivity as a result.

Mary's Wild Oats Granola
Mary's Wild Oats Granola
With cranberry and toasted almonds—a breakfast bombshell.
Granted, there are probably a few thousand brands of granola on the market. You might even have tried several hundred of them. Why make another? Because the best granolas are a fresh product with a relatively restricted shelf life. Much of what's out there sits on shelves for months and lacks the full flavor we enjoy.
Mary's Wild Oats, on the other hand, is made fresh every week at our Bakehouse. Named for one of our original bakers, this granola is made with organic rolled oats, real butter, clover honey and plenty of dried cranberries and toasted almonds. It's a surefire way to bring more flavor to your breakfast table, we guarantee it.
About four good-sized servings per bag.
Attention long term fans! You many have noticed that our packaging for Mary's Wild Oats has changed. It used to be a mason jar and now it's a cool, letter-pressed kraft bag with resealable top. You'll be heartened to know the granola inside is still the same, delicious recipe it's always been. All that's changed is its handsome packaging!

July 29, 2014
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia officials have been hit with the first of several expected lawsuits challenging redistricting.
Kanawha County lawyer Thornton Cooper filed his Supreme Court petition Thursday targeting the redrawing of House of Delegates districts.
Cooper wants the justices to block that redistricting plan from taking effect, and replace it with one he's drawn.
His plan proposes single-member districts for all 100 House seats. The plan passed by the Legislature in August distributes those seats among 67 districts.
Cooper argues this plan violates three sections of the West Virginia Constitution, including its equal representation mandate.
Monroe, Mason and Putnam county officials have also announced plans to sue over the House plan. It divides each among multiple districts.
A federal lawsuit challenging the congressional redistricting plan is expected as well.

Tahitian boys at table
Art Print | by Paul Gauguin | #354506
Art Print | by Paul Gauguin | #354506
After being unable to conform to the life of a bourgeois gentlemen Paul Gauguin left his put upon wife, five children and job at the bank to pursue his dream of becoming an artist, travelling to Tahiti to paint the island and its community. Imagining an exotic paradise, the artist's hopes were dashed upon arrival to find a colonised, christianised community. In spite of this Gauguin's depictions of the place show a tropical paradise, free from the burdens of respectability and sexual restraint, with the focus of his work overwhelmingly the native women. In keeping with this ideal the works are painted in bold vibrant colours, signalling a clear break from impressionism. With infrequent trips made back to Paris Gauguin became an increasingly tragic figure, his work failed to make any impact and he became attached to the myth he'd created, unwilling to move back to France in fear of losing face. Despite being unable to sell his works during his lifetime, Gauguin's Tahitian paintings sell for tens of millions, considered amongst the most important of post-impressionist works.
Expertly made in England by Easyart, this quality giclée print is produced using museum standard materials, providing rich, vibrant colours.

Is there such a thing as cilantro chicken crack? Because I think I just ate it. This recipe adapted from Grace Parisi's "Braised Chicken with Cilantro, Mint and Chiles" featured in the November 2012 Food & Wine is a beyond a tastebud pleaser. Granted, I think I could survive in life with a cilantro I.V. But seriously, this one pot classic dish of chicken thighs and drumsticks braised in a sauce of cilantro, mint, onion, poblano and jalapeno chiles with a touch of cream is absolutely delicious. I didn't know chicken could taste this good.
Please, think ahead better than me though. Make extra rice and make/buy some nan to sop up that sauce. If I had naan in my house you would have found me after everyone had been served standing in front of the pot just dipping and eating, dipping and eating, and so on and so on....until someone had to drag me away with the spoon still clinging to my little fingers.
Ms. Parisi's recipe called for rubbing the chicken with ground coriander. I thought I had this in my spice rack. I did not. So I rubbed the chicken with a combination of cumin, ground fennel seed, garlic powder and salt and pepper before browning them in olive oil (because I didn't have any canola). I thought my on the spot modification worked just fine. I did not modify the heart of the "cilantro crack chicken" one bit, however. It is a sauce of cilantro, mint, poblanos, jalepeno, onion, cream and water. Absolute yum!
I will admit that I bought chicken thighs that had the skin and bones on them. Next time, I would do as Ms. Parisi suggests and get the boneless, skinless variety of thighs because I am not a fan of chicken skin and the skin on the drumsticks is probably enough to give the sauce enough fat to make it utterly delectable. I am not sure you need the picked jalapeños, make that an optional component depending upon your taste.

Museum Location
One Montshire Road
Norwich, VT 05055
Tel: 802-649-2200
Fax: 802-649-3637
How are you connected to the Montshire?
I have been involved, as a volunteer, with the auction for the past four years.
Can you describe you role in more detail?
As co-chair of the Auction, I work with a fantastic Steering Committee to create THE celebration of the spring season to benefit Montshire education programs in Vermont and New Hampshire.
What is your favorite exhibit?
Ever since my children were very young I have loved the live fish, frog and turtle exhibits on the main floor!
What do you wish everyone knew about the Museum?
We are incredibly lucky to have such an amazing resource in this community.
Is there one word you would use to describe the Museum?
When was the first time you came to the Montshire?
I probably first visited the museum in the spring of 2000 when my first daughter was just an infant.
What do you wish we could do that we aren't doing now?
Wow, I can't think of anything the museum could be doing differently.
What do you find most rewarding about volunteering/working at the Montshire?
I truly enjoy both the Montshire staff and the volunteers who work together to put on the auction each year. It is these people who make the event the success it continues to be year after year.
How long have you volunteered at the Museum?
I have volunteered for about 5 years and I have been visiting the museum for nearly 11 years!
What is the best kept secret at the Montshire?
I think the summer camps are really special. The counselors are great, and the kids learn so many great things about science, nature and themselves.
What is your favorite Montshire story to tell?
A couple years ago Michelle Kersey and I went to pick up the infamous Pig and Wolf for their display in the silent auction. We safely loaded them into my car, as they are much heavier than they appear; but when we went to unload them at the museum the Pig lost his feet! Fortunately, the museum repair shop went straight to work and had Pig up and ready for his appearance on Auction night. I was definitely in a state of panic at the idea that I had somehow compromised the ever-present Pig!

You went to Berkeley during the Free Speech Movement. How did you fit in?
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
You're working at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher again -- right back where you started after law school.
I joined Gibson, Dunn in Los Angeles in June 1965. After law school, I've only had two employers, really -- Gibson, Dunn and two stints in the Department of Justice, one in the early part of the Reagan administration and then as solicitor general in the George W. Bush administration.
Some of the clients you've represented include coal and tobacco companies and Vice President Dick Cheney. Put together the dots, and you wouldn't come up with what you're doing now on Proposition 8.
I have represented a variety of clients over the years, including Ronald Reagan, the American Bar Assn., the convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard on an appeal. You're probably right, you probably wouldn't have drawn a line and said, "Well, it's logical that he's going to be representing these people in this case in California." But we are discriminating unfairly and unreasonably against gay and lesbian individuals, and it's the wrong thing for us to do.
Chad Griffin, the head of the American Foundation for Legal Rights, the group funding the case, invited you aboard. He once said you were among the last 10 people in the world he'd want to meet. How did the connection happen?
He and Rob and Michele Reiner were having lunch -- or maybe just Rob and Michele -- and they bumped into my former sister-in-law and mentioned that they thought Proposition 8 was going to be upheld in the California Supreme Court, and they were thinking about a legal challenge. She said, "Why don't you think about Ted Olson?" Chad called me up and talked to me, and then we went from there.
Are you working pro bono?
We're charging fees, but we're also contributing a lot of our services.
You and Boies -- you're a version of Hepburn and Tracy in "Adam's Rib."
That's a nice way to put it. I like that. I thought we needed someone who was a well-recognized lawyer but who would provide balance for my perspective. I wanted to convey the message that this was not Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, that this is about human rights and human decency and constitutional law. David was my opponent in Bush v. Gore, but he's someone for whom I have great respect and affection. We spend some time together once in a while socially. We've done some biking in Europe together. He didn't hesitate for a second.
Does your argument have more purchase with conservatives because you're the one making it?
I'm hoping that it does. I hope some people will open their eyes to the decency of getting to the point where we allow gay and lesbian individuals to be married and have a happy life.
I expect some of your fan mail has flipped 180 degrees because of this?
I am getting comments from some segments of the society who feel that it's the wrong thing to do and I'm betraying the conservative cause and things that I've stood for in my life. Some of it is quite hostile. But that goes with the territory. On the other hand, I'm hearing from people, including plenty of Republicans, who are very, very grateful. It has been overwhelmingly gratifying to hear from very decent people who are touched by the fact that we're trying to help.
A woman came up to me in our library in our law firm and said, "You and I haven't worked together, but I'm a lesbian. My partner and I have two children." And she burst into tears. I put my arm around her and she put her arms around me. This stands for what we're trying to accomplish here. It's a principle, but it's a principle that deeply touches human beings. If we're successful, we can help the lives of literally millions of people. And what a great service that would be.
Have you heard from Bush administration people about this? Maybe the president or vice president or Karl Rove?

Rumored Islands
Robert Farnsworth
Harbor Mountain Press ($14)
Fancy Beasts
Alex Lemon
Milkweed Editions ($16)
by Raphael Allison
Who speaks in a Robert Farnsworth poem? Whose voice is it that draws from the daily trudge such an attentive texture of observations:
Sunwashed haze brings up the ruined rivers smell, slashed
with mown grass and diesel smoke. I get words in edgewise
closing them inside storm doors. In one window a few still
waxy leaves, a Romanesque wooden radio, doilies, a brackish
light upon the massy furniture.
Plumbing the shades of experience and wringing from them as much light as theyll yield, these are lines of a meditative observer, a careful learner who draws from the details of his experience an equivalently rich set of reflections on it. That is to say, the poles of Farnsworths attention, in his new book Rumored Islands, are clear: a rendering of the poems events on the one hand, and the writers reflections on those events on the other, recollections of experience reproduced in relative tranquility.
Take the above lines, from Referendum, about the canvassing of a poor neighborhood and distributing pamphlets before a vote. The buildings are tenements, the tenants are poor, and if not suspicious, then at least impatient with the intrusions of this do-gooder upon their daily lives. As the poem opens, were swept into the speakers exterior world, knocking on doors and having them closed swiftly in our faces. The lines amass observed details—a woman who narrows / her eyes in skeptical greeting, the round / of beers a small, sallow elder woman swings between her knuckles—before obliquely plunging inside the psychic and moral space of their creators consciousness to work out these concentrations of attention. Here are two samples of the plunging:
I smile at them. I have
information here, refutations of hysterical rumor, invitations
to consider every person whole and human, equal before the law.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I dont know about convincing. What is this dread,
for those the light cuts down, or for the stubborn valiance
some develop to survive, a tremendous effort surmounted
by a gilded plaster eagle, a crucifix, a flag?
Referendum is, in fact, concerned with the gap between Farnsworths own invitations to engage in these political ideals and the tenement-dwellers wary distance. After each description, the poem backs off. I smile at them; I dont know about convincing. Its that logic of impassioned interiors knocking at the doors of the worlds impassiveness that gives this poem, like many of these poems, its tension. Can Farnsworth bridge the gaping gulf that separates his smile and their rumor?
Perhaps another way of saying this is that Farnsworth is a poet in the great tradition of Romantic lyric. In this volume hes fond of alluding to and quoting Williams and Stevens, but at least one eye is cast back to the crucible of the same European consciousness that formed the Romantics imaginations, its growing sense that the human mind is engaged in some mighty struggle with the brutal World. Thus its no coincidence that one of his poems is a reworking of Wordsworths Composed upon Westminster Bridge, September 3, 1802, which famously begins, Earth has not anything to show more fair. Farnsworths intentional misprision is only comic at first: Earth had plenty to show more fair, / but the tour launches hadnt begun / guzzling upriver. The poem is really a modernized Wordsworthian mediation: Wordsworth looked out over London in order to locate an internal, compensatory peace in a natural world under threat (Wordsworths description of the smokeless air suggests just how clearly he understood the threat of industrial smoke and how pleased he was at its absence). Farnsworth, however, looks out over Wordsworths world, the one enshrined in the sonnet, searching for that poets confidence in the mighty heart that can be found there. Perhaps it doesnt exist? Oh yes, I knew the poem testified / to no fact, just to his capacity for vision. And yet, in the end, he finds fixed beneath a torrent of traffic, / as a noble instance of clarity, the place / where all that mighty heart is lying, still. For all the speakers self-consciousness, of which there is a lot—Id been / for several days a tourist, composing / a self in which collected novelties / might cohere—there is also a deep commitment to what Wordsworth himself understood of the poets task: to animate and plumb the struggle of a mind confronting experience, the self in colloquy with the world around it.
In Structure and Style in the Greater Romantic Lyric, M.H. Abrams, who wrote influential 20th-century studies of the British Romantic poets, defined Romantic lyrics like this:
They present a determinate speaker in a particularized, and usually a localized, outdoor setting, whom we overhear as he carries on, in a fluent vernacular which rises easily to a more formal speech, a sustained colloquy, sometimes with himself or with the outer scene, but more frequently with a silent human auditor, present or absent. The speaker begins with a description of the landscape; an aspect or change of aspect in the landscape evokes a varied but integral process of memory, thought, anticipation, and feeling, which remains closely intervolved with the outer scene. In the course of this meditation the lyric speaker achieves an insight, faces up to a tragic loss, comes to a moral decision, or resolves an emotional problem.
One of the key attributes here is the dichotomy Abrams describes of a determinate speaker and a particularized, and usually a localized, outdoor setting. Here is the opening of Farnsworths poem Unforgivable Landscape:
Near New Haven the landfills wear pathetic
green fringes beneath their gull-infested buttes,
where tiny yellow tractors crawl in a fine drizzle.
Above the junkyard leach ponds and the piles
of old tires, stare the incurable windows
of the valve factory.
While the speaker isnt mentioned in a particular way, the perspective is stable. We are situated in space—we are near New Haven and the phrase tiny yellow tractors tells us we are gazing at the landfill from afar—and that space is a subject for reflection. Were already getting the sense that something is amiss, as the title word landscape—an unavoidably bucolic word—seems decidedly at odds with this incurable world. And then, from this set of situated observations of a palpable and problematic world, we plummet back into the mind of the perceiver, who will wring from this scene some insight, as Abrams would say, some manner of truth: All those rusty coils, filthy / corners, ferrous mud—wholl say how weve / arrived at our nature? This is the poems difficulty, the great question it sets itself to answer: how can we wrestle from a fallen world some sense of ourselves? Is this world of filthy corners adequate to the belief in our own humanity? What do we do, the poem asks, with such a scene?
This writing is serious. It takes up its task with urgency and a great trust in the readers thoughtfulness. Farnsworths poems are after something, working with what American English offers them to investigate the world. According to Abrams, such a colloquy should result in an insight, and Unforgivable Landscape does offer one, though its not what we expect. Rather than condemning the bleakness, the speaker realizes its essential completeness, its representation of the totality he understands is his lot: This nature we have made or acquiesced to, / which is no mere backdrop, but the whole of life / as it must be taken. And by the end of the poem, after we realize were driving down a highway and moving through this landscape, having ridden these troubling observations for a pages worth of lines, the poem ends on a surprising moment of repair: And while neither of us turns, exactly, having / plumbed the silence, we do at last begin, / slowly, as after love, to talk more tenderly. One might say, with Abrams, that an emotional problem has been finally resolved.
This isnt to say that every poem in Rumored Islands is a contemporary version of one of Coleridges conversation poems. Farnsworth is deeply rooted in the present, with all of its tell-tale crises and catastrophes, and at times, the situation of the speaker and his sentiments is not so easy to place. Eminent Domain, for example, describes the demolition of a house and its brutal act of exposure. (It might seem that this poem stands in trenchant relation to the current housing crisis in all of its forms, except for the fact that the poem first appeared in The Hudson Review in 1994; Farnsworths two previous books appeared in 1982 and 1989, so this book draws on literally decades of work published in a range of journals since). After gaping at the wreckage for a prurient moment or two, long enough to register the foulness of marauding this homes erstwhile privacy—A closet / door (with a porcelain knob!) dangles / from one hinge, How the bucket knocks / thoughtfully on a window frame until / it shatters, then digs intimately away / at the wreckage for a while— the poem makes an unexpected swerve away from simply recoiling at the exposure of intimate spaces. Catastrophe doesnt / hold me here, the speaker says. No, its the performance, the stylish wag / and swing and grasp of that iron arm / that fascinates. How tricky it is, the poem discovers, to be sentimentally driven by the sorrowful exposure of intimate life in this spectacle and simultaneously horrified by the hopeless interior the wrecking actually reveals. The end of the poem is oddly ambiguous: Down with it. / Untraceable motive, terrible claw, down with it. Is the poem condemning the destruction of the house? Or the keen pettiness of life its raping reveals? Is it cheering down with the house! or shouting down with destruction!? We may not know, and the poem leaves us caught as the speaker was caught, configuring ourselves.
Many poems in this volume reveal Farnsworth is of the Elizabeth Bishop school of publication: dont publish a lot, but what you publish, make perfect. The lines here reflect careful sculpting, the vocabulary thoughtful minting. Syllables can fill up the mouth with a pleasing voluptuousness to match their subject: mustard-colored, / scrotal strands of rockweed swirl like mops / in the tide swell. Imagery is rendered with arch visual precision to create crystallizing similes: The seals slick head slides from cold, / polished water like the recollected portion / of a dream, into sunlight. Farnsworths fascination with Stevens shows up not just in numerous allusions, but even as the subject of an imitative villanelle, which captures that poets looping rhythms and emphasis on contemplation: Read late a winters night. Feel the rooms around, / The rooms within the mind resist the dark. The fire burns as the novel taught it how. There are numerous other poems of note here, including Snow, a poem about work and writing; The Shutters, a spare scrutinizing of a long ago creative act; the moving Long Light, which opens the moments after Farnsworth has dropped his kids at school; and the revealing, comical tableau of Why Ive Never Bought You Fishnet Stockings. These are poems of precision, grace, compression, and wit. This poetry is gratifying, intelligent, and thoroughly of the moment, steeped as it is in a consciousness of the past.
Alex Lemons poems in Fancy Beasts present an altogether different picture. Lemons are poems of immediacy and effect, not meditation. If Farnsworth projects shades of Romanticism, Lemon echoes the New York School brand of casual, glittering brilliance, characterized best by a writer like Ted Berrigan. Lemon is far more concerned with leaps of language and consciousness and less obviously worried over contemplative depth. Here is Bling Ding Bling (the title might tell you something of this already), in its entirety:
The oven is left on all night,
so the cupcakes turn into
twelve blackened fists,
& being that we are hoodlums
& thugs, we go outside & hit
the rock-hard treats into the air
with aluminum bats, golf clubs
& tennis rackets. Its beautiful
really, watching the dark specks
rocket over the shingled roofs.
& we wont admit it when were
caught, but of course were aiming. All
of us know whose windows theyll smash
through. The hands thatll pluck up
the shards. A triangle of glass arrowed
upright into the hardwood floor. Glittering
in the sunlight as we laugh & jab each other
in the mouths. Glittering & upright,
like the birthday candle on your last cake.
Upright & glittering through your cataracts
& Alzheimers. Glittering & glittering, that candle,
that last sweet, that something
youll never remember.
Its not just that this poem is loosely arranged, full of ampersands and casual phrasing and line breaks (Its beautiful / really). More importantly, Farnsworths Romantic poles of attention—the seeing eye at work in an objective world—has turned to this inside narrative of a long-ago event: as a child, the speaker and his friends chucked burnt pastry through the windows of a local old coot, some man or woman. Only now, in the apparent present, does he realize the poignancy of this callow act of terrorism. Its the direct address to the Alzheimers patient that tells us the most here: the broken shards of glass turn into birthday candles in the mans mind, a moving recognition of the codgers confusion and an almost sentimental image—candles on a birthday cake—of times passage that he wont even understand. So the poets memory of this event becomes a kind of memorial to a man with no memory left.
Perhaps it seems too obvious to point out how this is no Romantic lyric. The mind of the speaker seems to look upon its subject with decisiveness, and seeks not to wrestle from the memory some resolution but to palliate it with an image. Of course, the Romantic mode is historical, except in the various ways it still resurfaces (Stevens, Farnsworth, etc.). Still, its worth pointing out how much Lemons poetry is driven by the urgency of his interior mind and its finding of itself in language. Here is the opening of Theres So Little To Do in a Hospital Bed:
Although tiredness whirls
All the while, the hive
Of my head shines with love.
Inside my chest, umbrellas
Open warmly—the last
Vacancy where I might
Get it right. My under—
Thighs have stopped
Bleeding. Even though
My skin has Gods stamp
Of approval—USDA Choice—
Fear comes & the sheets
Look lightning struck.
The irony of the poem, of course, is that it details how much there is to do in a hospital bed. The poem presents observations of oppositions: on the one hand, theres what one might expect (that tiredness would create torpor, that fear rises despite other assurances) and on the other, theres what actually occurs (love, fear). The voice articulating all of this, however, is hermetically sealed, like one of the doctorly instruments or syringes this body must submit to. Its a willfully opaque voice, and because of this dichotomy theres a blend of intimacy and disengagement. How else to square the admission of bleeding thighs with the vagueness of Gods stamp / Of approval. We learn elsewhere that Lemon has tattoos, so perhaps thats what he means; or perhaps its a reference to a doctors positive assessment of his physical condition. In any case, the angle and pith of these clipped couplets tell us not to strain too hard.
The most arresting poems in this book occur, however, when the language does ask us to strain a little and the voice extrudes from the self, imagining itself into the world that constrains it. Perhaps the books best poem, Verde Vista, opens with the speaker in line at the post office. An old coot (there are lots of coots in this book) tells him, due to the tattoos on his arms, You know, Hitler would have / Made a lamp out of you. And here begins a train of fantasies that Lemon cant quite control. After finishing his business, he winds out of what we now learn is a mall, stalking the old man by waiting in the parking lot, ready to toss a shopping cart through his Cadillacs windshield. But when the man comes, clacking on his walker, something shifts. Perhaps the man will collapse? And its here that the poem lifts off, working through his anger and frustration to achieve a moment of clarity:
He stops at the curb, heavy breathing, & inside
Him, I imagine his heart dropping the white
Flag of surrender. That he is about to crumple
& the next thing I know, my piled hands
Will be compressing his sternum & lips, tender
As the crust of a burnt loaf of bread, will open
Against mine & as the air I just breathed into him
Returns, the taste of mayonnaise & his aftershave
Fills my mouth, & I realize that in the end it will
All work out, brilliant with dirt & light. Cryogenics
& biogerontology & pregnant men & clones
Of our favorite Chihuahuas. & if the old man, still
Kicking around, vigorous with his fourth
Or fifth different baboon heart growling within
Him, wants to stay up a little longer to finish
The terrific book hes reading & tugs on
The bedside lamp & is illuminated by the patchwork
Of colors that had, years before, covered
My body, well, I guess, thats fine with me, too.
How did we get here? Suddenly, the poem moves from the desert of the real into the science fiction future, where the man himself has become some emblem of the Nazi order, the specter of which he threateningly raised just moments before. And yet instead of revenge upon this blighted near corpse, the poem breathes, considers, and drops back to acquiesce. What does it matter, it wonders, and who cares anyway? The world of this poem—decrepit, perfumed, and mayonnaisey—conspires to keep such a depleted life living, with its wrong-headed science of biogerontology and cryogenic creepiness. Perhaps one way of confronting the world is not to care so much about its judgments. So what if the old mans grossness wins out and Lemon succumbs to his bodys frailty? Well, thats fine with him, too.
And so Lemons poems in Fancy Beasts are small acts of resistance to something gone inexplicably wrong. Theres no sincere attempt to work out a bargain or resolve the problem, as Farnsworth would. In the face of The World, Lemons poems seem to suggest, the best repair is attitude. Its a pitched battle played cool, and its exciting to watch effortlessness take the role of David against the Goliath of our civilization. One must gird the loins / When approaching // Considerateness—that little / Gnashing beast. It might not // Cost much, but the way I see it, / We really know nothing about // Each other. Civilized schmivilized. There is no contending here with the thatch of real experience; rather, theres a self assuring itself—no, not assuring, girding itself—against the sallies of What Is. The most troubling thing is everything, begins Tick Tick Tick. Its all happening / At the same time. Interpreting dreams while watching Lets Make / A Deal. Eating tofurkey & Cherry Garcia while practicing / Yoga. And so on. The poem itself becomes the path of resistance to the maelstrom of our junky pastiche of American life. Without the poem, we feel, Lemon would be lost.
One of this books most powerful undercurrents is a daring, Cid Corman-like minimalism. For all of Lemons garrulousness and cheek, an intensity of focus runs through it all. The second section of the book is, in fact, a series of thirteen tiny lyrics, and it functions as an eye in the hurricane. In some ways, these stripped down, spare and bare needles of language are the books life-force, providing a core of mandarin quietude:
The cat
I collect
It in old
Jars. She will
Never die.
The perverse museum of cat fur in jars is charged with affect, a magical gesture rebuffing the tide of death.
The art
Of contemplation
Escapes me.
Id rather
Be a missile
With Honey.
The opposition is entrancing. Of course, its power, sexuality, experience, and sweetness rather than reflection. This is poetry of attitude rather than contemplation. Perhaps, Lemons poems suggest, thats all one needs.

About WATD-FM WATD is one of those seemingly impossible ideas which actually worked and has now endured for over three full decades. The idea for the station in Marshfield emerged as the result of a prospecting trip Carol Ebert Perry and Edward Perry made in December of 1972.

If you hear people talking about Schreck at UB camp, they aren't referencing the beloved ogre.
No, they're talking about redshirt freshman tight end Mason Schreck, who made several impressive catches in traffic Monday. The book on Schreck's career is thus far short: the 6-foot-5, 229-pounder was a high school quarterback and starting center on the basketball team, but he hasn't seen any college action yet.
"He's working extremely hard," said head coach Jeff Quinn. "Mason came out of high school as a quarterback, so he understands offensive football. Now he's growing into that tight end position and he's got great ball skills. He judges the ball very well in the air."
Schreck is still fourth on the depth chart behind first-stringer Jimmy Gordon, Alex Dennison and Matt Weiser, but he's a formidable fourth option who has shown loads of potential. Quinn predicts his team could go to Schreck at times in the red zone this year to take advantage of his size and leaping ability.
"He's still young, it's still early, but I think he's proven to all his teammates and coaches that he's somebody who's really put himself in position to get a chance to get on that field," Quinn said. "Schreck gives us an added feature. Most people don't have that ability to have four tight ends. That's a pretty good group of kids."

By STEVE OUELLETTE, Movie Review
---- — It can be hard to do justice to a real-life legend, but "42" rather effectively captures the essence of Jackie Robinson.
It's a traditional — and sometimes schmaltzy — telling of Robinson's historic breaking of baseball's color barrier, but it's also emotionally moving, authentic and filled with big performances.
The film opens in 1945, with Robinson playing in the Negro Leagues, and continues through his one minor-league season — spent in Montreal — and his rookie year in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Unknown Chadwick Boseman is tasked with the complex role of Jackie Robinson, and he aces it in every way. Athletically, he is convincing, swinging the bat with authority and dancing around the bases with daring and a barely controlled fury.
Off the field, Boseman manages to convey Robinson's struggle to keep his composure and hold his temper in the face of indefensible racism coming at him from every side, including his own locker room.
Robinson wasn't some naive kid. He was a World War II veteran with a college education, wise to the ways of the world, and you can feel his inner turmoil as he's forced to turn the other cheek to ignorance, knowing that fighting back could undo all the good he was doing.
Equal billing in "42," however, has to go to Harrison Ford, who gives his best performance in years while disappearing into the role of grouchy, opinionated baseball-pioneer Branch Rickey.
Rickey, owner of the Dodgers, had complicated motivations, but was steadfast and determined in his plan to integrate baseball. Ford is crusty and warmhearted and somehow makes the viewer forget that "Hey, that's Harrison Ford behind that cigar!"
Nicole Beharie (who also played the girlfriend of another groundbreaking athlete, Syracuse football player Ernie Davis, in "The Express") capably plays Jackie's patient and loving wife, Rachel, though most of the film's hokiest moments revolve around their devoted relationship.
Christopher Meloni has a small but entertaining part as former Dodgers manager Leo "The Lip" Durocher, while John C. McGinley deserves mention for his extremely amusing turn as legendary announcer Red Barber.
The most memorable and powerful scene in "42," though, is courtesy of usual funny man Alan Tudyk ("Firefly"), who plays redneck Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman and delivers a long and unrelenting vitriolic rant while Robinson is at the plate. It's uncomfortable and painful to watch — and thoroughly unforgettable.
"42" is authentic and touching. All baseball fans should see it, but it should appeal even to those who don't already know the significance of the number.
Rental Recommendation: The first Jackie Robinson movie, "The Jackie Robinson Story," came out in 1950 — just three years after his historic debut — and it actually starred Robinson himself, coming off an MVP season. He was a much better ballplayer than actor. Grade: C+
Email Steve Ouellette: firstname.lastname@example.com
Grade: B+
Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie
Rated: PG-13 (for thematic elements including language)
Running time: 128 minutes

While accidents continue to occur because a driver was tired or fell asleep, many in the industry believe revamping federal hours of service regulations is not the answer. An operator's best course of action is to properly train drivers and manage risks when scheduling trips. Even then, however, the onus remains on the driver to rest.
