Poetry. The poems of A CLOCK WITH NO HANDS celebrate, with all the rust and anger in a dying mill town, the author's memories and experiences growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts in the 1940s and 50s. "His language is clear, without tricks or fancy moves, yet his directness is powerful, and the effect are human" - Paul Zimmer. "In these poems there is a finite and definable portrait of a time and a city. The city was the ethnic Lowell, Massachusetts where and when both Jack Kerouac and Anne Sexton attended high school. The poetry itself is a terrific read and I had both the nostalgic and the proverbial time of my life reading this book, including the contents page, twice over. Further, for those Kerouac fans not lucky enough to be from Lowell, the book is a must buy, must have, must read" - Michael Casey.

This detailed volume explores a variety of cutting-edge techniques used to interrogate spatial genome organization. Beginning with a section covering the vital chromosome conformation capture (3C) technique, this collection continues with chapters on targeted Hi-C approaches, sequencing-based approaches to assess nuclear environment, as well as single-cell technologies to better characterize the heterogeneity and dynamics of nuclear architectures and approaches to visualize them by microscopy. Finally, in order to be able to ask functional questions about the role of spatial chromatin organization in genomic control, the last section provides methods for acute manipulations of chromatin architecture. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Spatial Genome Organization: Methods and Protocols is an ideal resource for researchers searching for the best techniques to address their own specific research questions.

This all-new collection by former Alaska poet laureate smoothly blends his life in Maine, his years in Alaska, and his love of Chinese poetry—which has been a key influence on his work—into a lyrical fantasy that will enchant lovers of verse. These tightly rhythmic, compact eight-line poems demonstrate a rare deftness with—and an even more uncommon ear for—language, revealing poetic form to be neither a puzzle nor an accomplishment in itself, but a compositional tool and a spur to creativity.
