They\u2019re now a reality, and guests at our Spring Revel will walk away with a pair of them. (Maybe they\u2019ll even walk away wearing them.) As <em>Women\u2019s Wear Daily<\/em> reports, \u201cEditor Lorin Stein has enlisted the talents of Gabriela Hearst and Peter Miles to design signature socks as a parting gift for attendees at the April 5 gala at Cipriani 42nd Street. The fashion designer Hearst and art director Miles, whose portfolio includes work for C\u00e9line, took into consideration some of the cover art from the literary journal. The women\u2019s design borrows from Derek Boshier\u2019s art on the spring 1966 issue\u2019s cover, and the men\u2019s version drew from G\u00fcnter Fruhtrunk\u2019s handiwork on the summer 1969 one. Hearst teamed with the Italian sock specialist Maria La Rosa to produce the women\u2019s socks.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Dan Chiasson looks at Robyn Schiff\u2019s new collection, <em>A Woman of Property<\/em>, which seems to emerge from the anxious mist of a stress dream: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2016\/03\/21\/a-woman-of-property-by-robyn-schiff\">Schiff\u2019s poems, with their Hitchcock-like distrust of appearances, their alertness to hidden binds and snares, offer something few poets ever discover: a vision of the whole world<\/a>. It\u2019s a paranoid vision, often an unsettling one, but a huge variety of phenomena enter the poems. From H1N1 to supermarket carnations and the petrified rictus of a lobster (\u201clike a terrible crack\u00a0\/ in a wall something worse is coming through\u201d), these poems are interested in everything, possessing a capaciousness that, paradoxically, requires tight control. If you had a houseful of wild animals, you would need cages. Schiff, like Marianne Moore\u2014a profound and not entirely metabolized antecedent\u2014has, instead, stanzas: rigid, cratelike stanzas, which often employ regular patterns of syllables per line.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If you go to the movies and see <em>The Witch<\/em>, you may think, Hey, I know a ton about Puritanism now! I\u2019m, like, <em>an expert in Puritanism<\/em>! Michael Robbins is here to remind you that you\u2019re not: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/nplusonemag.com\/online-only\/online-only\/we-other-puritans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twice we see Thomasin\u2019s brother Caleb steal a peek down her shirt and then feel guilty about it, and we\u2019re supposed to infer that religion leads to shame, which leads to repression, which leads to making out with a witch disguised as a grown-up Red Riding Hood<\/a> \u2026 To be blunt, most reviewers appear not to know much about Puritanism \u2026 No doubt many Puritans, like many film critics, were self-righteous. But Jonathan Edwards articulated a core theme of Calvinism when he wrote that \u2018The deceitfulness of the heart of man appears in no one thing so much, as this of spiritual pride and self righteousness.\u2019 It is one thing to strive to recognize and overcome self-righteousness and fail; it is another to see it only in those to whom you feel superior.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Charlotte Moorman is widely known as \u201cthe topless cellist,\u201d because she once played the cello with her top off. But she did other things, too. Two new exhibitions aim to tell us more about her career as an avant-garde performer: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/283971\/returning-topless-cellist-charlotte-moorman-to-her-rightful-place-in-the-avant-garde\/\" target=\"_blank\">The formidable eleven-person curatorial team at the Block has used the opportunity to refurbish Moorman\u2019s unfortunately limited reputation as Nam June Paik\u2019s topless prop<\/a> \u2026 The exhibition begins by positing Moorman\u2019s version of John Cage\u2019s <em>26&#8217;1.1499\u2033 for a String Player<\/em> as the centerpiece of her experimental performances \u2026 Her elaborately annotated copy of the score is displayed under glass\u00a0\u2026 Explained in handwritten notes, her additions include playing a giant bomb outfitted with strings, smashing lightbulbs with hammers, kicking cowbells, and frying an egg. These actions, combined with the already rigorous timing, ultimately made the piece impossible to complete in the prescribed twenty-six minutes. Cage publically dismissed Moorman\u2019s interpretation as \u2018murdering\u2019 his score, but she performed it on the <em>Merv Griffin\u00a0<\/em>and <em>Mike Douglas <\/em>shows anyway.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/article\/252138\" target=\"_blank\">What if JFK\u2019s most stirring bit of rhetoric\u2014\u201cAsk not what your country\u201d et cetera\u2014was lifted from Kahlil Gibran<\/a>? The poet, whom the<em>\u00a0New York Times<\/em> memorably (and accurately) discussed as a \u201ccandy metaphysician,\u201d once wrote a letter to the Lebanese parliament with this little zinger in it: \u201cAre you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country?\u201d Kennedy\u2019s advisor Ted Sorensen is aware of the similarity: \u201cThe Khalil Gibran Society telephoned and wrote me asking whether either Kennedy or I had read the piece, even though it had not been translated into English by January 20, 1961. Did either of us read Arabic or any of the Middle Eastern languages in which it had appeared? I was asked.
