KEEP CALM AND READ ON . . .
Throughout history, the power of words have inspired us to “keep calm and carry on” in the best of times and in the worse moments.
We, at the Antioch Review, are very cognizant of the global and local crises. Our office manager’s beloved daughter is a nurse-practitioner/RN working on the front lines at a hospital that, like so many other medical facilities, is in urgent need of requisite personal protective equipment.
In these trying times, may we suggest that consideration be given to:
• Reading to a medical provider or first responder who needs a mental breather—even if it is over the phone, computer, etc., because some of these heroes will not go home as they want to protect their family from potential transmission of the covid-19 virus
• Reading to family who want a moment and modicum of normalcy
• Reading to a friend whose hands are full
• Reading to someone who just wants to close their eyes and escape into the lines of literature
• Reading to appreciate the literary arts as these have uplifted us, offered us sanctuary, filled our minds (and often our hearts), opened our eyes, challenged our souls, and satisfied our spirits for eons.
Yes, we invite you and yours to “Keep Calm and Read On” as we all face a world that is rapidly changing and quite challenging.
Respectfully,
The Antioch Review

Vol. 77, No. 2 BOOK REVIEW CRUDE ANGEL BY SUZANNE CLEARY
This chatty, inquisitive collection celebrates the eccentric and inventive, with subjects ranging from Lawrence Welk to Angela Kumpe, specialist in the fur-sculpting art of “dog topiary.” Cleary casts an eye alternately affectionate and ironic.

Congratulations to Antioch Review contributor Joan Frank whose new collection TRY TO GET LOST: ESSAYS ON TRAVEL AND PLACE has won the River Teeth Nonfiction Book Prize, and is being published February 15, 2020 by the University of Mexico Press. These essays range from considerations of Frank's travel in Europe, her birthplace of Arizona, and other American states—to the things we carry, how politics infuses geography, ideas of home, the ancient and modern reverberations of the notion "hotel," and the ceaseless discovery generated by encounters with self and with others on familiar and foreign ground.
More information about Frank and her work may be found by clicking the following link: http://www.joanfrank.org/works.htm
Two of the pieces in Frank's collection originally appeared in the Antioch Review: http://review.antiochcollege.org/search/node/%22Joan%20Frank%22.
Frank’s books may be pre-ordered here: https://unmpress.com/books/try-get-lost/9780826361370?fbclid=IwAR29NO7XFREelpNYiioUgPjU-tm_P46e0UlGomHCoitnJSpddZP0CBm978g
In our most recent issue, Heinrich Böll’s “Cause of Death: Hooked Nose” (translated by Robert C. Conard) captures Nobel laureate Böll’s vivid imagery about the corollary of unfettered hatred, unchallenged propaganda, and fearful inertia for countries, communities, and consciences. Böll is an expert at describing the merciless fallout bestowed upon those assisting in the pursuit of a final solution that instead produces explosions of guilt and erupted minds. Poignant then. Pertinent today.
Poetry by prominent and promising poets such as Jeffrey Herrick's "Parasomnia" and Leslie Adrienne Miller's "Last Words" round out this issue that concludes with our "Poetry Today "Erota and Autobiography: Six Greek Poetesses."

Congratulations to Antioch Review contributor Michael W. Thomas (http://review.antiochcollege.org/spring-2002). Thomas has published a new collection of poetry, The Stations of the Day.
In this, his tenth title,Thomas again justifies Alison Brackenbury’s commendation of his work: ‘His poems are rich with the details of past and present lives. They explore the wildest possibilities of those lives with passion and humour.’
Peter de Ville, Poetry Salzburg Review said: ‘Michael W. Thomas’s poetry shows a real sense of exploration and discrimination of fine states of feeling…. Thomas cuts away all dead weight, creating a sense of economy with richness, and is not afraid of using a phrase that in a lesser craftsman’s hands would bring a sneer…. His language is vigorous and street-wise and his poetic tools work on experience in Coleridgean mode, dissolving, diffusing, dissipating in order to create a surprising world.’
Arresting in language, sharp in perspective, The Stations of the Day invites and rewards reading and reading again.
https://blackpear.net/…/michael-w-…/the-stations-of-the-day/ ISBN 978-1-910322-97-0. 64pp, paperback, gloss covers. £7.00 or equivalent. Black Pear Press.

IN MEMORIAM: CAROLL SPINNEY(December 26, 1933 – December 8, 2019)
We mourn the death of Caroll Spinney puppeteer and friend of the Antioch Review.
This Caroll Spinney drawing was part of the piece published in our Fall 1979 issue wherein Spinney granted an interview to Francelia Butler (scholar, pioneer & writer of children’s literature) and Samuel Pickering (Fulbright scholar). In 2017, Spinney granted the Antioch Review permission to reprint the piece.
Editor Robert Fogarty observed in his ’79 editorial that “Big Bird is not just a television personality or a celebrity like Miss Piggy, but a figure who looms large in the memory of all those Americans who watched the show while munching a zwieback.”
True then. True today. . . .well, perhaps today we would be munching on some chocolate and chips!
Thank you, Caroll Spinney, for all the joy you gave to kids of all ages throughout the world for so many years!
Spinney’s spunky spirit, wise wit, and lively life lessons will be missed here and elsewhere.
