BY CLAIRE DIETZ | [email protected]

hen the 2015 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships — a no-strings-at- tached award of $625,000 given to people in various disciplines with the intention of enabling them to work for a time without having to worry about income — were announced in September 2015, headlines fixated on theW high-profile presence ofHamilton ’s Lin-Manual Miranda and author Ta-Nehisi Coates among the honorees. But there was one member of the group who stood out, even though he didn’t pick up the same sort of media traction as some of his peers. The contributions to the medium that Basil Twist, a third-generation puppeteer, had made had become impossible for the foundation to ignore. Twist’s creations have regularly appeared on Broadway — including in stage ad- aptations of The Addams Family and The Pee-wee Herman Show — and, The New Yorker reported, he was famously employed as an “underwater-puppetry consul- tant” on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Today, Twist will deliver a lecture on the progression of his work and how it has moved between abstraction and tradition at 5:30 p.m. in 240 Art Building West. Twist attributed his professional success to his time studying in Charlev- ille-Mézières, France, at the École Supérieure Nationale des Arts de la Marionnette, a prestigious puppetry school, from which he became the first American to graduate. “Those years laid a very strong foundation,” Twist wrote in an email interview

Iowa Writers’ Workshop graduate and decorated editor Lucy Ives unleashes a poetry collection on the art (and chaos) of writing. Ives provides a unique take on her subject matter in a book filled with anecdotes, lists, anxieties, games, and more — not your average step-by-step manual on how to get published. It is, however, an exploration of the poetic mind, and an examination of how and why it works.

THE LOST GIRLS, BY JOHN GLATT

Based on the true stories of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus, this incredible novel recounts the rescue of three girls from their captor, Ariel Castro. While being held against their will for 11 years, the girls were beaten and raped re- peatedly. This book goes in-depth through interviews with Castro’s fiancée (who had no knowledge of the events occurring in the house) and several of Castro’s family, friends, and neighbors (some of whom witnessed the rescue). ‘ VINHO VERDE ’

The first time I had Vinho Verde was in Portugal (’cause I’m #cultured), and I thought it had gone bad. Turns out Vinho Verde translates to “green wine” or “young wine,” because the grapes are not allowed to fully mature. Most Vinho Verdes are slightly effervescent but not to the point of champagne or prosecco. A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, BY BETTY SMITH For some reason that I could probably find out via Google, the Portuguese love cod and say they have 365 ways to prepare it, Functioning as five stories in one, the narrative of Smith’s classic work doesn’t move so it makes sense that Vinho Verde pairs well with seafood. This through time in a traditional sense but rather jumps from one period to the next, from one wine is an ideal summer beverage, so pretend it’s not already protagonist to another, spanning nearly 20 years with the Nolan family. The book begins by sweater weather, crank up the heat, make a codfish casserole chronicling the childish innocence of Francie Nolan, a girl impoverished by her circum- (surprisingly delicious, trust me), and sip on this super college- stance but freed through her love of reading. From there, the novel jumps back to the story of Francie’s parents, then back — or forward — again to Francie’s eventual engagement. student-budget friendly but also classy wine. — by Emily Kresse — by Alex Kramer
