"Paglia's discussion of each of the forty-three poems she presents—from the sonnets of Donne to Yeats to a song by Joni Mitchell—is no-nonsense, exuberant, rigorous, and celebratory. Academic jargon is nowhere to be found; Paglia's mission is to make these poems approachable and accessible in their full complexity. BREAK, BLOW, BURN provides intoxicatingly close readings by a fiercely provocative and generous diva."

“Not unless Jesus returns.”

Father Joe ended up in a hospital in Tyler, Tx. As we now know probably not too good of a place to be with what is now known of the Bishop.
