E. E. Cummings, born on this day in 1894, learned from the high-modernist poets James Joyce and T. S. Eliot to distrust the hierarchy of his own being. In Cummings’s poetry, Paul Muldoon writes, “I” becomes “i.” nyer.cm/HH64vfi

Ask yourself who has more motivation for lying: the professor who's had her whole life turned upside down, or the judge who stands to land a lifetime job at a quarter-mill a year, plus bennies the ordinary Joe can only dream about?

Thrilled that my @jeopardy haul is now over $50k. I’m just that much closer to achieving the great dream of my life (aside from winning on Jeopardy! that is). Here’s me talking about the time I revealed my master plan during my Jeopardy! audition.

“I loved you the same way that I learned how to ride a bike. Scared, but reckless. With no training wheels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you.”

For #StPatricksDay the authors of Drink Like A #Bartender @TheaRobin & Lauren offer a hot tip: “Don’t order an Irish Car Bomb. It’s pretty offensive. Order a pint of #Guinness with an Irish whiskey on the side like the big boy or girl you are." spr.ly/6017DpFix

"I’m safe in [insert city here] and how my father never knew
fear like I know fear. His was a different generation:
a foreign invader; mine is my neighbor, a classmate I was kind to."
