WAR POET chronicles the life of Alan Seeger, killed at the battle of the
Somme in July 1916 and author of “I Have a Rendezvous with Death,” one
of the most memorable war poems of all time and a favorite of President
John F. Kennedy. His poetry was “the authentic voice of... war’s ennobling
glory” and his death in battle “one of the most romantic incidents of the
war.” Michael Hill’s WAR POET paints a compelling and poignant portrait
of this little known but fascinating American poet.

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters
Emil Ferris (Fantagraphics)
Karen Reyes, the 10-year-old heroine
of Ferris’s irresistible debut graphic
novel, sees herself as a monster, just like
the tortured ghouls from the 1960s-era
monster movies and fanzines that she
loves. But Karen also sees herself as a
kind of monster-detective (picture a
small werewolf in fedora and trench coat)
looking for answers in a book
that is by turns a haunting
murder mystery and a deeply
affecting spiritual portrait of
the rich social underbelly of
1960s Chicago.
My Lesbian Experience
with Loneliness
Nagata Kabi (Seven Seas)
In this relentlessly honest,

able cartooning skills to work in an effort
to understand her demoralizing discon-
nection from her peers and parents, as
well as her crippling antipathy to sex and
personal contact.
Sex Fantasy
Sophia Foster-Dimino (Koyama)
Foster-Dimino’s lines are clean and
simple; no shading or color is needed to
capture the heartbreaking longing and
frustrated disappointment on the faces of
the characters in these short stories.
Despite the title, the emphasis is mostly
on relationships, the sacrifices made, and
the self-delusions that people cling to in
a desperate quest to not be alone.
