New York Film Festival Review: ‘Behemoth!’ Has Nine Composers and No Heart
By SEBASTIAN DOGGART
|Edward Thomas wrote often of the English countryside, even finding there expressions for his sense of war’s defeating exhaustion.

With “Poem of the Day,” The New York Sun offers a daily portion of verse selected by the Sun’s poetry editor, Joseph Bottum of Dakota State University, with the help of a North Carolina poet, Sally Thomas. Tied to the day, or the season, or just individual taste, the poems will be typically drawn from the lesser-known portion of the history of English verse. In the coming months we will be reaching out to contemporary poets for examples of current, primarily formalist work, to show that poetry can still serve as a delight to the ear, an instruction to the mind, and a tonic for the soul.
