The poet Douglas Manuel’s debut poetry collection Testify follows the topic so many of us (this poet included) attend to first: family. Testify attended to the stark realities of Manuel’s childhood in Anderson, Indiana, a place that once had a burgeoning Black middle class—until the General Motors factory shut down. Anderson was subsequently a community depressed both in finances and morale, and then struck particularly hard by the crack epidemic. Manuel’s poems in Testify show through first-person lyrical poems what it was like to grow up in such circumstances in which those who used crack were criminals (only later to see those who are addicted to meth and opioids as “sick” or “victims”). Much of this is grounded in the...

Canadian National Railway Co. announced a new North American container shipping service Monday, upping its financial forecast for the year on the heels of record first-quarter revenues brought on by a bumper grain crop and higher oil prices. Dubbed Falcon Premium, the intermodal service marks an agreement between CN, Union Pacific Railroad and GMXT, a Mexican railroad operator and metals miner.

In a bid to match rival CP Rail’s recent merger with Kansas City Southern, the deal also aims to nab customers south of the border from trucking companies with clients in auto parts,...
