Written by an aunt to her potential niece, the letters in Dear Z: The Zygote Epistles introduce the "Z" to the wildly vexed work of taking on--and hanging onto selfhood. Shape-shifting from love poems to prose poems, musical spells to logic equations monostiches to math symbols, these letters meditate on self and world--specifically, what personhood, identity and community membership might entail in a perilous age. With these epistles' "epi-pen," the speaker takes her zygote-niece on a virtual tour of the checkered landscape that is 21 st - century America, where Alphabet now is a firm on the Nasdaq, prisons harvest children for profit, and the architectures of authentic personhood are almost always under siege. In the spirit of serious play, Dear Z's narrative arc bends toward hope as some of the poems test out rap and Old English, while others yearn toward blues, rock, and animal-sound. The book casts a wide net of wonderings about self and other, mind and marketplace, language and consciousness: "Is language anguish gauge or laughing gas? / Correct answer: yes," suggests the speaker. Some of the poems take solace in the South Sea Islander from Moby-Dick the character Queequeg, who, traveling through time, implies through his tattooed runes that he wants us all to serve as real-time person assisters. In Dear Z, we are summoned to ask What is one i?, while at the same time we are called to see all citizens as members of "my group"--the pain of others, our severest strand of anguish.

Its sturdy/heavy and the suction cups on the bottom work well. Our family is able to pull the paper towel without pulling the whole holder with them. The arm that holds the paper towel works well and we can pull one towel at a time. We are very happy with this product.

would be five stars, but it makes a weird clicking sound as you pull a sheet to dispense
Color: Silver
After researching tons of these, and actually owning some of them in the past, I landed on this brand. i’m hoping it stands the test of time. In times past, the arm broke from the other heavy duty paper towel holders I bought (I think I’m on my fourth one right now. It’s pretty sad.). This one seems pretty stable. I like the suction cups on the bottom, although sometimes it makes it difficult to move and clean around it because it really has a good grab on my granite countertop. The one thing that I’m not a fan of is a clicky kind of sound when you pull a sheet to tear off. It’s a little bit annoying and kinda loud. If there were superior paper towel holders without the clicking sound I most definitely would purchase, but the other ones seem to be junk. Crossing fingers this one works. I’ll just have to ignore that clicking sound. It’s just how that propeller-like mechanism works that the paper towel itself slides onto.
