Holly Case teaches history at Cornell University. Her first book, Between States: The Transylvanian Question and the European Idea during World War II, was published in 2009 and has over three and a half times as many endnotes (1,192) as it has pages (324). This ratio has absolutely no bearing on the quality of the work.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
