![]() ![]() ![]() (Despite the title, Matt doesn't seem to be anchored to any specific number.) Why the best? Because he believes the alternative approach, of intentionally keeping other countries poor, is inhumane. The book's thesis is a simple one: the US has a strong geopolitical motivation to remain the largest economy in the world, and that the best way to achieve that goal is to massively increase the US population. (Some of Matt's critics argue that his writing sometimes lurches toward the deliberately provocative.) Matt's writing usually has a contrarian, iconoclastic center-left perspective, and this book comfortably fits into that characterization. He's best known for his work at Vox, though recently he struck out on his own and currently publishes his own newsletter. I've been reading Matt's writing for a long time - probably almost 20 years, since he was blogging on his own.

Musical and dreamlike, Johnson’s poem envisions “the heart of a woman” as it “enters some alien cage in its plight, / And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars / While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.” With each repetition of “breaks,” the reader can feel the restlessness and fear of the bird as it beats its wings against its cage, the heart as it beats against the “sheltering bars” of the ribs. “The heart of a woman goes forth with the dawn, / As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on.” Recalling Paul Laurence Dunbar’s classic poem “Sympathy,” which immortalizes the African American experience with the line “I know why the caged bird sings,” the title poem of Johnson’s collection compares the heart to a bird. ![]() Comprised of Johnson’s earliest works as a poet, the collection showcases her sense of the musicality of language while illuminating the experiences of African American women of the early twentieth century. Marking Johnson’s debut as one of the leading poets of the Harlem Renaissance, The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems is an invaluable work of African American literature for scholars and poetry enthusiasts alike. ![]() The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems (1918) is a collection of poetry by Georgia Douglas Johnson. ![]() ![]() Carl the monkey was introduced in Fearless Fourteen humping Brenda's hair, and was featured in Plum Spooky.Ī sequel, titled Wicked Business, was released on June 19, 2012. ![]() Lizzie adopts an odd orange one-eyed cat, who possibly belonged to her deceased Aunt Ophelia, and Carl, the monkey with an attitude problem, rides along.
