John Ashbery, the Gift of Quiet Moments
Much of life consists of musing moments when we look at something so beautiful or surprising that we wonder, briefly, who we are. This is the feeling the poet gave his readers.There is an empty place.
A place to look strangely at the ordinary.
We will do it ourselves.

On DACA, President Trump Has No Easy Path
Delaying a decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program would buy the president some breathing room but displease nearly everyone else.Doing nothing would have been easy and fair.
Making something from nothing is supernatural.
The "taking" is disastrous.

The legal process will wait until action begins under the new policy.

‘A Kind of Freedom’ Follows Three Generations of a Black Family in New Orleans
Margaret Wilkerson Sexton’s luminous debut novel has the disenchanting optimism of the blues.The book might be the answer I seek.

T Magazine
This Fall, Suiting and Sportswear Team Up
The season’s most free-spirited look for men.Not this group.
The price point demands more formality.

Food
A New Coffee Destination, Shrimp From the Hudson Valley and More Food News
Nespresso plans a flagship store on Madison Avenue, cheese ephemera and shrimp grown aquaponically in a former mattress factory.Products without markets.
The shrimp may persist.
The graphic design will not sell to the decorator market.
Coffee is a course at culinary school.
