Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has been frightening readers for 200 years, and Susan Tyler Hitchcock explores the journey in Frankenstein: A Cultural History. Hitchcock explains the story’s lasting relevance by detailing its evolution from book to big screen (and to comics, costumes, TV shows, tea towels, etc.).

The poems in Kelly Caldwell’s debut collection, Letters to Forget, have a thudding, propulsive intensity that is hard to look away from. As much as any poetry can be, they are the living stuff of the world.
