Something electric. Tell Obama to Cease FDA Ties to Monsanto. President Obama, I oppose your appointment of Michael Taylor, a former VP and lobbyist for Monsanto, the widely criticized genetically modified (GM) food multinational, as senior advisor to the commissioner at the FDA.
Taylor is the same person who as a high-ranking official at the FDA in the 1990s promoted allowing genetically modified organisms into the U.S. food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety or risks.

Courtesy of the artist BOBBY's self-titled debut is out June 21. Audio for this feature is no longer available. Quiet but not ambient, the music of BOBBY provides relief from rock and dance records built around insistent, thumping beats.

Poetry expresses the emotional truth of the self.
A craft honed by especially sensitive individuals, it puts metaphor and image in the service of song. Or at least that's the story we've inherited from Romanticism, handed down for over 200 years in a caricatured and mummified ethos - and as if it still made sense after two centuries of radical social change. It's a story we all know so well that the terms of its once avant-garde formulation by William Wordsworth are still familiar, even if its original manifesto tone has been lost: "I have said," he famously reiterated, "that poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings; it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. " But what would a non-expressive poetry look like?
A poetry of intellect rather than emotion? The works presented here provide one set of answers to those questions.
