Lee is the first poet I can say I was truly moved by, so when his collection “The Undressing” came out in late 2018, I expected reading his work to feel like coming home to the first traces of my love for poetry.

Review: ‘Polar’ is a disappointing yet entertaining mess of a movie

"Polar,” regrettably, won’t be joining “Roma,” “Mudbound” or “Beasts of No Nation” in the lofty pantheon of decent Netflix movies because, depending on your definition of what makes a movie good, it’s either some of the worst trash to ever grace the “trending now” section of Netflix, or a glorious hot mess that’s incredibly entertaining by virtue of how bad it is.

To All the Frackets I've Lost Before

Nothing about fracket-stealing culture makes sense to me. (In case you’re late to the party, a fracket is a cheap second coat brought to frats, in anticipation of it being doused in beer or stolen.)
