The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer

Preview of  David Grubin’s acclaimed PBS American Experience documentary.  The film seeks to understand why Fifties America turned against the brilliant physicist who headed the Manhattan Project’s top-secret laboratory in Los Alamos.  The documentary dramatically traces Oppenheimer’s trajectory from one of the leading minds in the scientific world to a suspected Communist sympathizer during the dark years of McCarthyism.

DISCUSSION: DAVID GRUBIN, MARTIN SHERWIN, FRED SANDER, & RICHARD GOTTLIEB Continue reading The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer at the New York Psychoanalytic Society and Institute

POETRY MONDAY: IRENE WILLIS

Welcome once again to Poetry Monday. This is to wish all of you a healthy, sufficiently prosperous and as happy a new year as you can achieve, given all that is happening on our precious Earth.

One thing I’m very grateful for is that International Psychoanalysis has continued to provide us with this space for poetry each month. For 2009, we are announcing a new policy. Although all of our poems thus far have been solicited, we are now opening submissions to all poets, year-round. We will welcome all kinds of poems, both formal and free verse and will guarantee them, if not acceptance, at least a careful reading and prompt /reply. Complete guidelines can be found by clicking here.

I thought it was about time I shared some of my own work with you and came out from behind the editor’s curtain, so here I am. My poems have been published in many journals and anthologies and in two collections, They Tell Me You Danced (University Press of Florida) and At the Fortune Café, to which Snake Nation Press awarded its 2005 Violet Reed Haas Prize. The poems below are all from my new and forthcoming book, Those Flames.
