Watching K-Pop Can Get You Killed in North Korea, and It May Be About To Get Worse
By HOLLIE McKAY
|A Shakespearean sonnet, as befits its subject, that merges comedy with a father’s love for his daughter. The third entry in the Sun’s week of presenting the work of living poets.

Michael J. Astrue has served as a White House lawyer, general counsel for Health and Human Services, and the commissioner of Social Security — the serious career of a serious man doing serious public work. Which makes it all the more interesting that, under the penname A.M. Juster (an anagram), he has published reams of comic verse, Latin poetic translations, and his own thoughtful poetry. His collection “Wonder & Wrath,” for example, contains “Untamed Daughter,” a Shakespearean sonnet, as befits its Shakespearean subject, that merges comedy with a father’s love for his daughter. The third entry in The New York Sun’s week of presenting the work of living poets.
