News Dead Boy Detectives Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives Are On the Case Starting in April The series is set in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman universe By Molly Templeton | Published on March 20‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Though all we’ve gotten so far is a single teaser‚ the Dead Boy Detectives are somehow almost here. Netflix announced today that the comics adaptation will premiere April 25th—barely more than a month from now. The series was originally set to be a Max release‚ but moved to Netflix last year—which makes a certain kind of sense‚ as it is‚ technically‚ set in the universe of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. Its behind-the-scenes team has a whole pile of experience with comics and adaptations‚ and includes showrunner/developer Steve Yockey (The Flight Attendant)‚ showrunner Beth Schwartz (Sweet Tooth)‚ executive producer Jeremy Carver (Doom Patrol)‚ and Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Productions (all those Arrowverse shows). Here’s the synopsis: Do you have a pesky ghost haunting you? Has a demon stolen your core memories? You may want to ring the Dead Boy Detectives. Meet Edwin Payne (George Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Jayden Revri)‚ “the brains” and “the brawn” behind the Dead Boy Detectives agency. Teenagers born decades apart who find each other only in death‚ Edwin and Charles are best friends and ghosts… who solve mysteries. They will do anything to stick together—including escaping evil witches‚ Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal (Kassius Nelson) and her friend Niko (Yuyu Kitamura)‚ they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases. The series is based on characters created by Neil Gaiman and Matt Wagner. One hopes we might see a full trailer before that April 25th premiere.

Book Recommendations Poetry 12 Poems That Capture the Essence of Spring Each of these poems offers a unique meditation on the changing seasons‚ as winter passes away and a new‚ green world emerges. By Holly Kybett Smith | Published on March 20‚ 2024 Photo: Joyce McCown [via Unsplash] icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Photo: Joyce McCown [via Unsplash] Back in January‚ I curated a list of twelve wintry poems to mark the blustery start of a new year. For those of us in the northern hemisphere‚ the winter cold has started to recede and it’s time to welcome the first days of spring. For many of us‚ the shift in seasons is a welcome one—no more ice‚ no more chill; now there are flowers and a bit more sun. But it’s a fragile season‚ more precarious and gentler than summer. Depending on where you live‚ you may still be experiencing waves of frost—even snow—imperilling any fresh growth. (And of course‚ elsewhere in the world‚ the cold season is just about to start.) No matter where you are‚ I hope you’ll appreciate these twelve poems‚ each of which contain “Spring” in their title (or are simply titled “Spring‚” full stop). And yet‚ each one approaches the season from its own unique perspective. What better way to celebrate the marvellous diversity of poetry as a form than to give twelve writers the same prompt and watch each one do something entirely different with the concept? “Spring” by Mary Oliver And here is the serpent again‚dragging himself out from his nest of darkness‚his cave under the black rocks‚his winter-death… We begin with a meditation on the shift out of winter by the inimitable Mary Oliver‚ beloved for her nature poetry. This poem follows a snake from his winter burrow to let the sun warm his cold blood. Given the typical iconography of spring—say‚ a green landscape studded with daffodils and fluffy‚ fresh lambs—this is not the creature you might expect to herald the arrival of the season‚ but here he is. “Spring Song” by Reg Saner If a bat flies acrossthe last starand two robins fly outof the sun; if sleeping rootsdream of repeating the tree‚lower down we can be certainall the dead leaveslisten in… Our second poem is a reminder of the cyclical nature of the seasons‚ which we come back to time and again in literature as a way of making sense of life and death and change. Note how Saner calls our attention to the dead leaves of the previous autumn—characterizing them as listening in… “What are they listening to?” he asks. Is spring really the season of newness‚ or is time merely repeating itself? “Spring” by Marguerite Young Envy not Spring her innocence;The creature coiled within the wombHas not the high indifferenceOf one who flowers from a tomb… Published in 1935‚ Marguerite Young’s take on spring is a dark one‚ asking us to consider again how spring is born from the death of winter. Reading it calls to mind Persephone‚ rising from the underworld at the end of her imprisonment‚ free once again (if only for half the year). “Spring Snow” by Linda Gregerson A kind of counter-blossoming‚ diversionary‚doomed‚ and likethe needle with its dropof blood a littletoo transparently inlove with doom… With its glancing two-line stanzas‚ its vivid and almost visceral imagery‚ Linda Gregerson’s “Spring Snow”paints a picture of a false start: that awkward stage of spring when winter rallies and makes one last effort to supersede it. “Spring” by Dorothy Keeley Aldis Spring comes sharply throughThe open window. Feet‚Rushing by on roller skates… By contrast‚ here we have a burst of sunshine in a poem. Although it was written in 1928‚ Aldis’ take on spring feels almost modern in its depiction of the season—though there is still the sense‚ within it‚ of winter giving way. “Spring Coronal” by Hyejung Kook Again this year I’ve failed the peonies that came to uswhen we bought our house in summer‚ not knowing whatpink and white glory grew in the northwest. Although not precisely about spring‚ this emotive poem‚ written during the pandemic‚ tells its story—of beginnings and endings‚ grief‚ pain‚ and acceptance—through spring’s lens‚ facing up to what happens when expectations fail‚ and the idyll does not manifest itself. “Spring Reign” by Dean Young Thank you whoever tuned the radioto rain‚ thank you who spilledthe strong-willed wine for notbeing me so I’m not to blame. I’m gladI’m not that broken tree althoughit looks sublime… This energetic springtime poem hops from snapshot to snapshot of thought‚ and is incredibly satisfying to read aloud. What does it all mean? Irrelevant. As Young has said of his poetry before‚ “I think to tie meaning too closely to understanding misses the point.” “Spring” by Safia Elhillo weren’t we only just nineteen‚tonya &; i‚ wasn’t she only justalive‚ long-limbed &; cross-leggedon my dorm room floor‚wasn’t it springtime of a yearso unlike this one… This nostalgic poem conjures the ghost of a warm spring suffused with yearning‚ from many years past. If you’re feeling melancholy this spring—thinking about how quickly winter seems to have gone; how quickly the years seem to be rushing by—reading Elhillo’s words may be of some comfort. “Springshine” by Alice Monks Mears Burst light: spins wheels like glass:hums haloes: strikes birds and spikybeginnings of flowers at fence rows… Penned in 1954‚ this poem perfectly evokes the impossibly bright‚ eye-watering glitter of early spring‚ as the reader—emerging from wintertime—squints into the sun.  “Spring Is the Time for Flowers” by Katinka Loeser The tacit bud reveals the pungent phrase.The lilac’s dim explosion fills the air.The gregarious crimson rambler will amazeThe earthbound‚ steady tulip.And the waysOf flowers are curious… As your eyes adjust to the glistening springtime sun‚ you will notice flowers emerging where there were none only a day or two ago. Loeser’s poem from 1942 celebrates this sudden riotous emergence of colour‚ and reminds us that contained within the prettiness of it all‚ there is audacity in defying what came before. “Spring Music” by Rosalie Dunlap Hickler I need unmeasured sun and rain to drinkUntil I wear the earth’s ecstatic sheen‚For while the apple orchard flushes pinkThe plum has gone from breathless white to green… Another poem which contemplates the cyclical nature of everything‚ Spring Music contemplates its narrator’s position as a sort of stick in the river‚ watching everything go by‚ unable to pause it. There’s wistfulness in these three stanzas—perhaps even bitterness—but appreciation‚ too. “Spring is Coming” by E.L. Mayo They say the blood of winter‚ color of rye‚Shall yet unclot and flow in the streets of spring‚Let the king do as he pleases‚ live delicately‚Time is his king… Lastly‚ we have a darkly humorous narrative poem from 1950‚ which—published in October—conjures an image of springtime as something distant‚ out of reach…yet undeniably‚ irrevocably on its way. I hope the early part of this year has brought good things to you all‚ and enjoy these first weeks of spring! Do you have a favourite springtime poem? (And does it have “Spring” in the title?)
