Welcome to National Poetry Month!

The Academy of American Poets, inspired by the success of Black History Month and Women’s History Month, created National Poetry Month in 1996. It is the largest literary celebration in the world and UCF Libraries are proud to do their part.

UCF Libraries have gathered suggestions to feature 12 books of poetry that are currently in the UCF collection. These works represent the wide range of favorite poetry books of our faculty and staff.

Since we are in strange times and realize that access to the physical books chosen by the Libraries is extremely limited at the moment, we have also crafted a list of digital poetry works that can be read from the comfort of your home: Poetry reading digital edition. 

Click on the Keep Reading link below to see the full descriptions and catalog links.

 Anarcha Speaks: a history in poems by Dominique Christina; selected and with a foreword by Tyehimba Jess In this provocative collection by award-winning poet and artist Dominique Christina, the historical life of Anarcha is personally reenvisioned. Anarcha was an enslaved Black woman who endured experimentation and torture at the hands of Dr. Marion Sims, more commonly known as the father of modern gynecology. Christina enables Anarcha to tell her story without being relegated to the margins of history, as a footnote to Dr. Sims's life. These poems are a reckoning, a resurrection, and a proper way to remember Anarcha . . . and grieve her. Suggested by Jacqui Johnson, Cataloging

 Edgar Allan Poe: selected poetry and tales edited by James M. Hutchisson Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and poems are among the most haunting and indelible in American literature, but critics for decades persisted in seeing Poe as an anomaly, or even an anachronism. Critics realize now that Poe was even more a part of the contemporary American literary scene than many of his more “nationalistic” peers, and that in much of his work Poe was making commentaries on slavery and Southern social attitudes, technology, the urban landscape, political economy, and other subjects. Suggested by Sandy Avila, Research & Information Services

 Fear of Description by Daniel Poppick These poems tell the story of a generation in crisis: at odds with its own ideals, precariously (or just un-) employed, and absolutely terrified of seeing itself in the planet's future. Is our contemporary moment pure tragedy, or a dark joke? Can it be both? Cutting back and forth in time and ranging between elegiac lyrics and autobiographical accounts of a group of poets moving from Iowa to Brooklyn in the years just before and after the 2016 election, Poppick reinvigorates the prose poem, exploring the slippery terrain between grief and friendship, artifice and technology, writing and ritual, hauntings and obsessions--searching for joy in art but instead finding it in pitch darkness. Suggested by Megan Haught, Teaching & Engagement/Research & Information Services

 Homie by Danez Smith Rooted in the loss of one of Smith’s close friends, this book comes out of the search for joy and intimacy within a nation where both can seem scarce and getting scarcer. In poems of rare power and generosity, Smith acknowledges that in a country overrun by violence, xenophobia, and disparity, and in a body defined by race, queerness, and diagnosis, it can be hard to survive, even harder to remember reasons for living. But then the phone lights up, or a shout comes up to the window, and family—blood and chosen—arrives with just the right food and some redemption. Suggested by Sara Duff, Acquisition and Collection Services

 Life in a Country Album by Nathalie Handal From migrations to pop culture, loss to la dérive, this is a soundtrack of the global cultural landscape—borders and citizenship, hybrid identities and home, freedom and pleasure. It’s a vast and moving look at the world, at what home means, and the ways we coexist in an increasingly divided world. These poems are about the dialects of the heart—those we are incapable of parting from, and those that are largely forgotten. Suggested by Megan Haught, Teaching & Engagement/Research & Information Services

 Life on Mars by Tracy K. Smith With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Smith imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. THese brilliant new poems  envision a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Suggested by Claudia Davidson, Downtown Library

Lilith, But Dark by Nichole Perkins Perkins reveals a series of confessions and penances, exploring a southern black woman’s tour through lover’s lament. It explores intimacies from home to the schoolyard to the bedroom. It is a journey through tornado alley, a search for power and peace in the eye of a southern storm. Suggested by Sara Duff, Acquisition and Collection Services

 Opened Ground: selected poems, 1966-1996 by Seamus Heaney Born and raised in Northern Ireland, where any hint of Gaelic tradition in one's speech was considered a political act, Heaney is all too aware of the dire consequences of speaking one's mind. Indeed, during times of crisis, he has been expected to appear on television and dispense political wisdom. Most often, however, he stays out of the fray and opts for a supreme sense of empathy to guide his words. As excavator--of earth, of his beloved Gaelic, of his own life--Heaney is unmatched. Suggested by Larry Cooperman, Research & Information Services

 Running to Stand Still by Kimberly Reyes Histories, stories, lyrics, aspirations, dreams, pressures, and images are spun into a musical tale through a site of convergence: the Black female body. Swarmed by external gazes and narratives, the inhabitant of this body uses her power to turn down this cacophony of noise and compose a symphonic space for herself. By breaching boundaries of racism, sexism, sizeism, colorism, and colonialism, these poems investigate the memories and realities of existing as Black in America. Building from poetic, journalistic, and musical histories, poet and essayist Kimberly Reyes constructs a complex and fantastic narrative in which she negotiates a path to claim her own power. Suggested by Megan Haught, Teaching & Engagement/Research & Information Services

 The 100 Best Poems of All Time edited by Leslie Pockell This poetry companion puts favorite poetry and poets from around the world at your fingertips, enabling you to revisit the classics, encounter unfamiliar masterworks and rediscover old favorites. Suggested by Sandy Avila, Research & Information Services

 The Octopus Museum by Brenda Shaughnessy This collection of bold and scathingly beautiful feminist poems imagines what comes after our current age of environmental destruction, racism, sexism, and divisive politics. Suggested by Sara Duff, Acquisition and Collection Services

The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander This poem is a love letter to black life in the United States. It highlights the unspeakable trauma of slavery, the faith and fire of the civil rights movement, and the grit, passion, and perseverance of some of the world's greatest heroes. The text is also peppered with references to the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and others, offering deeper insights into the accomplishments of the past, while bringing attention to the endurance and spirit of those surviving and thriving in the present. Suggested by Emma Gisclair, Curriculum Materials Center

SO I DID GET TO SEE GOOD OMENS AND TL;DR IT WAS EXCELLENT, I AM EUPHORIC

more thoughts and spoilers under the cut!

the FUCK YEEEEEEEAAAAAHs:

- mr gaiman you did it you made it even gayer I never even believed it was possible what is this 6000 years pining slowburn nonsense 

*ahem* to be more serious about it I loved that the show takes the emotional throughlines from the book and somehow both heightens and deepens them. 

- it really is phenomenally faithful to the book and the stuff it adds is mostly a m a z i n g. it kept me perfectly engaged despite me knowing what like 75% of the dialogue was going to be

- david tennant doesn’t quite go for the same energy as how I imagine crowley in the book -- in my head he’s more... idk how to explain it but the vibe is more someone grinning a bright fixed ‘this is totally my suave face’ grin while clearly continually going ‘oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck’ internally haha, to me he’s slightly less... mercurial? trying to play his cards closer to the chest? but you know what show!crowley is fucking hilarious too and I do like what they’ve done with him being less of an optimist at the core and more enjoying the world through his connection with aziraphale -- the sense of underlying loneliness you get in some places in the book has really been dialed up, he just wants a friend :( (which incidentally seems to be part of the reason he fe -- sauntered vaguely downwards too; he mostly wanted to hang out with someone, and today he still doesn’t really fit in with either the angels or the demons) 

- I can’t believe they managed to capture the feeling of ‘Under the ash and soot that flaked his face, he looked very tired, and very pale, and very scared’ on screen; it’s one of the moments of the book that really stuck with me and it worked so well here too, especially since the fallout of the situation stays with him longer

- this version of aziraphale is just. so lovely. so so good, literal precious angel who almost got his head cut off for crepes, I totally see why crowley persevered through the ages and his own intimacy issues, good call my friend. thank you michael sheen, every time this character showed up on screen I was filled with joy and delight

- I’m completely undone by how incredibly mutual their friendship is in this -- despite crowley being the more active in asking for connection it’s obvious all the way through how much aziraphale genuinely adores him and enjoys his company (even though he knows he shouldn’t and so continually needs to give himself some plausible deniability)

when aziraphale’s voice breaks as he’s like ‘don’t go’ after they’ve argued in the park and he’s just tried to pretend they’re not even friends? hahahahahahaha ouch my fucking heart

- sister mary loquacious was the most endearing thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life, give that actress all the roles she’s got the charisma of the gods

- “not only a southern pansy, sergeant -- the southern pansy” got through and it was glorious (ditto shadwell’s naming schemes, I for sure thought that wouldn’t be mentioned but it’s so incredibly funny)

- crowley repeatedly and openly just... begging aziraphale to go off to the stars with him what the fick-freckedy-fuck

- Of the horsemen Pollution was my absolute fave (so cool and unsettling and nonbinary rep!!!!!!! also they feel like the youngest horseman in such a deep way, every credit to the actress that was great) and I really enjoyed the twist on Famine, making him seem more intense and hungry himself as part of his nature as opposed to in the book where he’s basically like... diet vetinari lol

- G A B R I E L  he was so perfectly awful... absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever he’s just a piece of shit all the way through and John Hamm was clearly having the time of his life with it and I too was living 

- crowley crying in the bar because he lost his best friend and there’s no point to even try to run away anymore if he’s alone, he’s just waiting for the end of the world ;____________________________________________________; what an addition, such a thoughtful way to steer his character arc, wonderful, spectacular

in the book it’s more about him finding his way through the fear and desperation and having lost everything back to his core ‘actually... fuck this there’s no situation I can’t snake my way out of let’s goooooooooo’ self, which is admittedly really cool and satisfying, but it feels like a shallower thing than finally reaching a point where he can no longer pretend he doesn’t care or doesn’t want things. (also... the way his will to live reignites the moment aziraphale needs him fjskadlfhaskdhfksldhfslkahdf “I’ll come find you” INDEED fjksdafhsdlfhsdalfh) 

- also a nice tiny change: the implication that reason he can drive the bentley through the flames is that he loves that car so fucking much, he’s invested so much of himself and his emotions in it over many years, like a sort of microcosm of how he feels about the actual world (and specifically humanity’s presence in it) that produced it

- the child actors were uniformly precious, and the kid who played adam got me right in the feelings. the sort of comedic sociopathy of kids thing going on in the book is downplayed, which means I was feeling all the more protective of this sweet sweet kid who just loves his dog and his friends and fjsdfklasjkh

- *sigh* my embarrassing crush on david tennant has been lying dormant these last few years, simply waiting for its chance to rise from the depths like a kraken yet again, and I am slightly unsettled that what really made it surface this time was him dressed up as evil Mary Poppins + the bathing suit, socks included. ah well the heart uh wants what it wants I guess 

- crowley is awfully quick to suggest child murder for someone who’s blatantly not willing to harm a hair on a kid’s head himself lawl the two of them just juggling the ‘but maybe you could like... quickly murder him so we could avoid all this???’ ball back and forth before madame tracy finally knocks some sense into them 

- the actress for madame tracy did such an amazing job that I literally forgot aziraphale wasn’t actually possessing her, ART

- fellas... is it gay to blow up a bunch of nazis for your ~*best friend*~ and save his books while actualfax romantic music swells in the background... asking for a friend 

- “anywhere you want to go” :):):):) oh no

- to be Sad at you for a second here... why the fuck did aziraphale immediately assume crowley wanted the holy water to use it on himself? is there like. a story here we don’t know. is this the fallout of going to check wtf the spanish inquisition was all about. I’m almost afraid to ask

- to be even Sadder: that ‘For Terry’ made me cry and I’m not ashamed to admit it

the awwww... okay I guess you can’t have EVERYTHINGs:

- the scene where crowley and aziraphale get wasted together after the antichrist is delivered is not quite as funny as it is in my head, but then I don’t think anything in the physical world could be as funny as the way I imagine them just like somberly leaning over the table at each other with little regard for personal space and drunkenly expounding on dolphins, so I’ll forgive it

- CGI satan was completely unnecessary and not even very well designed *shrug emoji* the whole point of that scene is that we never get to see him, just the mounting dread as he’s getting closer, and then the wordless reveal of who Adam considers to be his dad and that’s all that matters and even the devil is powerless against it... loved the ~*godfathers*~ giving a little literal angel/devil on my shoulder pep talk, tho, that was incredibly sweet

- ...the maggots huh neil. couldn’t leave them out huh. what a world it would be if we didn’t get to see a bunch of people get eaten by a writhing roomful of maggots huh. 

- ETA: actually one more: I refuse to accept this version of DEATH, hashtag not my reaper

#good omens #good omens spoilers #*sigh* my brain is tired from being excited but that's kind of fine #I'm sure this is not very coherent but well I don't feel all that coherent haha

Should the Next James Bond Care About Continuity After Daniel Craig?

https://ift.tt/3zEdm9R

With No Time to Die, Daniel Craig says goodbye to the role of James Bond after 15 years and five films—the longest tenure in the franchise since Roger Moore’s 12-year, seven-film run. Like the five previous Bond actors before him, Craig’s era was marked by both highs and lows in quality, and certain controversial decisions, creatively and narratively.

If the Craig run is remembered by one thing though (besides its return to a grittier, more psychologically complex 007), it will be that for the first time the series told one overarching story over the course of the actor’s entire run. Craig’s debut, 2006’s Casino Royale, was followed in 2008 by Quantum of Solace, which essentially acted as an extended coda to its predecessor—something the series had never done before.

But wait: four years later Skyfall, which delved into the pasts of both Bond and M (Judi Dench), was billed as a standalone adventure. Until it wasn’t. Three years after that, in one of the more controversial decisions in 007’s entire film history, Spectre retconned all three previous Bond outings, making their villains all part of the titular criminal organization. And, oh yeah, that organization’s mastermind, Franz Oberhauser/Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Christoph Waltz), also happened to be Bond’s estranged foster brother, using his vast powers and shadowy reach to not just screw with the world but also torment Bond from behind the curtain.

We don’t know at the moment if the villain in No Time to Die, Safin (Rami Malek), has any connection to the SPECTRE organization or Blofeld’s machinations, but we know Blofeld is in the picture, making him the first Bond villain to appear in at least two consecutive films since, uh, Blofeld did it in You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) and Diamonds Are Forever (1971), where he was played by a different actor in each film (and no, Jaws doesn’t count… he’s a henchman).

Léa Seydoux also returns from Spectre as Madeleine Swann, making the character the first major Bond Girl in the series’ history to appear in more than one film. The only other example is socialite Sylvia Trench, played by Eunice Gayson, who Sean Connery’s 007 briefly romances in the first two movies in the series, Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963), making her the first official Bond Girl.

Of course, M, Q, and Moneypenny—played respectively now by Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, and Naomie Harris—all encore as well, although these characters have often established a sort of background continuity for the Bond movies throughout the years. But with both Blofeld and Madeleine showing up in No Time to Die, it’s reasonable to assume that it will be continuous with the previous four films and serve as a grand finale for the Craig quintet. So this is indeed a first. While the original Ian Fleming novels did offer continuity from book to book, with events in the previous book often being at least referenced or in some cases, such as the “Blofeld Trilogy,” directly impacting the novel right after it, the Bond movies almost completely ignored this.

Even though Blofeld and SPECTRE figured heavily in the first seven movies, the adventures were barely connected. A different actor played Blofeld every time, and most egregiously, after Bond’s new wife (Diana Rigg) was gunned down by Blofeld’s henchwoman at the end of OHMSS, her death was never even mentioned in the next movie, Diamonds Are Forever (we were just informed vaguely that Bond was looking for Blofeld).

By the time Roger Moore took over, the death of Teresa “Tracy” Bond was referenced briefly in both The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and For Your Eyes Only (1981), establishing that the Bond played by Moore was the same character previously inhabited by Sean Connery and George Lazenby. Otherwise the Moore years lacked any continuity at all, aside from the MI6 characters.

But now that Craig is stepping down, the question is this: Does the next actor in the series continue to be the same Bond that Craig played, and does the series pick up from wherever No Time to Die leaves off? Or will the next Bond not reference Swann, Blofeld, Safin, SPECTRE, Vesper Lynd, or any other aspects of the five Daniel Craig movies? Will M, Q and Moneypenny disappear or be recast as well?

It seems self-defeating and pointless to totally reboot the character again. Casino Royale was as good as an origin story gets, and so much of Bond’s backstory has been filled in over time that even looking back at his pre-MI6 years would leave us with an aimless, suspense-free prequel that is the worst kind of lazy, fill-in-the-blanks storytelling. We know who Bond is, and we did watch the 007 of the Craig era evolve over the course of his five movies.

Without knowing where No Time to Die leaves the character, we’re tempted to say that the series should pick right up and send the new Bond on a new set of standalone adventures, just with a new face. The new films don’t need to rehash anything that happened before, but they also don’t need to pretend that this a brand new, fresh-faced 007 straight out of secret agent school (plus they should keep Fiennes, Harris and Whishaw around — both for that background continuity and also because they’re a great team).

This is what the series has done multiple times before, with minimal fuss—and no explanation for the recasting is needed. If an explanation is called for, and God knows that fans seem to need everything explained to them these days, then the filmmakers can simply say that Bond had his face altered surgically to protect his identity (that’s always been part of Bond speculation anyway).

Whether the next set of Bond stories should all connect is a different matter, and again we’re going to argue that they shouldn’t, at least not in the way that Craig’s did. Learning that Blofeld was behind the villains of the first three Craig films was not so bad; discovering that Blofeld and SPECTRE basically existed solely to torment James Bond was a terrible mistake, however. Not everything needs to be connected to Bond on an emotional level. He can certainly be affected by the challenges and enemies he faces, but that can happen without them being part of Bond’s family history. It just makes everything smaller.

No Time To Die and the Art of Naming James Bond Movies

By Mark Harrison

Let Bond be Bond—a little darker here, a little funnier there, a bit rude or crude along the way—and let him fight bad guys and romance women (without the rampant rapey-ness of the earliest films in the series), and occasionally have his own sense of self, his mission and his view of the world challenged. The Bond films have worked in the past and can work again in the future because one can step right into his universe and not need to know what happened in the previous three movies. In a world where nearly every film in every franchise essentially serves to set up the next movie (hello, MCU), it would be refreshing if the 007 series rejects that philosophy, as it originally had.

We’ll probably know more once the next actor to play Bond is announced, which we expect will coincide with the franchise’s 60th anniversary in 2022. Then we’ll see which version of James Bond will actually be the one to celebrate that landmark—and which universe he operates in.

No Time to Die is out in the UK on September 30 and the US on October 8.

How to Put Value in Online Marketing to Make Millions with Chelsea Frederick

With online marketing, you can utilize various digital tools to execute advertising campaigns and track your results. As a marketer, you have to make the most out of these tools and come up with an effective online marketing strategy that will cater to your prospects’ needs. Considering that most customers are on the Internet, having solid online marketing is also an excellent opportunity to boost your business' credibility and growth.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Chelsea Frederick, the CMO of Brandetize and Brian Tracy International. She highlights the importance of putting value in your marketing content and creating a system of processes to execute it. She also talks about what it's like working with the one-and-only Brian Tracy and the lessons she has learned being in the industry for more than ten years. Make sure you tune in to the show and find out the blueprint of what every business marketer needs to be successful in online marketing!

About Chelsea

Chelsea Frederick is the CMO of Brandetize, a performance-based digital marketing team that has been helping online businesses thrive for over 18 years. She is also the CMO of Brian Tracy International. Chelsea is a digital marketing professional with extensive expertise in direct response marketing, branding, and business development. She helps businesses execute a results-driven integrated marketing strategy for their brand, product or service. 

How to Put Value in Online Marketing

Getting into Marketing

Chelsea majored in marketing in college and started working at Brian Tracy right after.

She had always been interested in marketing and the whole psychology and writing aspect behind it.

Now, she has transitioned into the analytical side and looking at the bigger picture.

The Biggest Challenges in the World of Direct Response and Online Marketing

Direct response is taking one action and achieving results. 

According to Chelsea, attribution has been an ongoing challenge for them.

Particularly for Brian Tracy, there are a lot of different moving parts, which adds to the level of sophistication on the attribution side.

Sometimes it’s enough to get close and know that you’re making more than you’re spending, even if it’s not to the exact decimal point.

Key Pillars of Revenue Generation

Email marketing has always been huge for generating quick revenue. Put out content with value and be consistent with it.

For Brian Tracy, they utilize and automate evergreen email sequences. They also have affiliate marketing, outside ads, and blog.

It's the consistency and how long they’ve been running.

Putting Value in Your Products

Always put your best foot forward.

Give good content and add value, which allows people to trust you.

Lead with the best. Capture that lead, and then you can dive in and figure out what else they want.

Advice for Online Marketers Who Struggle in Sales

If your sales page isn't making any sales, take a look at your offer. Don’t shut everything off at once when you see people aren’t buying.

Make sure you have the data that can give you some insight into people.

Go with your warm leads first. If it does well, move outside sources like affiliates and Facebook ads.

You should never send one email and expect results—you need to follow up on people.

Do a lot of testing to find the right market and try to figure out what would add value.

The Benefit of Testing

It allows you to learn about your offer and your customer base.

When you learn more about your customers, you can tailor your message and marketing towards them more clearly. Then, you're going to have better results.

Headlines are the simplest thing you can tap and boost on an opt-in page without needing to change your marketing budget.

The Biggest Mistakes in Marketing Promotion

Starting off mailing directly to the sales page and not capturing the lead first.

Marketing isn't just a one-off, and you're done. It's a sequence of events.

On the sales page, the biggest thing to focus on is the opt-in page because that increases everything else through the funnel.

Creating a System of Processes

Create a system of processes and find the best person to do the repeatable tasks you can offload.

You need to have human resources for specialist positions.

Brian Tracy: “Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution, and this gives you a 1,000 percent return on energy.”

What It’s Like Working with Brian Tracy

Brian Tracy pulls so much wisdom around stories and metaphors he can refer to.

He does what he does because he loves it. He loves writing books and speaking, and he was born to do it.

Brian Tracy gives more value in a lot of instances. Curiosity drives people’s passions.

The Wonders of Marketing

Chelsea loves the number of new opportunities, new tools, and new ways of online marketing. She finds that it's remarketing in itself.

She also loves creating a system and writing it down before moving on to something else.

In business, you can't do the same thing forever. You need to evolve with the new technologies that are emerging.

Habits for Online Marketing Success

One important and significant habit for success is continuous learning. Read continuously, because it will allow you to stay on top of things.

You can’t allow other people to dictate your time. Stop and think about what’s important.

If you’re doing all you’re doing is learning without implementing, then that just becomes an excuse not to take action. There has to be a balance.

There are many avenues where you can learn: there are podcasts, books, and audiobooks, among other resources.

The Agency Model

Chelsea and her team are partnering with talent.

It's the same core pillar, strategies, and principles but different content.

Their ideal clients are people who have a name and their space, someone who can create content and needs a team to manage their day-to-day operations and marketing.

Hypersonic Superweapons Are a Mirage, New Analysis Says

Military experts call hypersonic warheads the next big thing in intercontinental warfare. They see the emerging arms, which can deliver nuclear or conventional munitions, as zipping along at up to five miles a second while zigzagging through the atmosphere to outwit early-warning satellites and interceptors. The superfast weapons, experts say, lend themselves to surprise attacks.

President Trump has bragged about his “super-dupers,” even referring to the planned weapon as “hydrosonic,” a brand of electric toothbrush. Last year, his budget asked the Pentagon to spend $3.2 billion on hypersonic arms research, up $600 million from the previous year’s request. And as President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. takes command of the nation’s military, he will have to consider whether to sustain the defense work undertaken in the Trump years.

Now, independent experts have studied the technical performance of the planned weapon and concluded that its advertised features are more illusory than real. Their analysis is to be published this week in Science & Global Security.

In an interview, David Wright, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an author of the new analysis, called the superweapon a mirage.

“There’re lots of claims and not many numbers,” he said. “If you put in the numbers, you find that the claims are nonsense.”

Military officials called the paper insubstantial, saying it was based on outdated data. But they declined to disclose new findings.

“Due to the classified nature of hypersonics technologies, we are not at liberty to publicly discuss current capabilities,” Jared Adams, chief spokesman for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, said in an email.

Richard L. Garwin, a physicist and longtime adviser to the federal government, called the paper “very good and important.” He added that he had provided his own similar criticisms of hypersonic warheads to defense officials.

James M. Acton, a nuclear analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, called the paper “a serious, credible and important piece of work.”

Dr. Wright is affiliated with M.I.T.’s Laboratory for Nuclear Security and Policy and did the analysis with Cameron L. Tracy, a materials scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a private group based in Cambridge, Mass., that often backs arms control.

By definition, hypersonic vehicles fly at more than five times the speed of sound — or up to dozens of times faster than jetliners. The warheads rise into space atop a traditional long-range missile but then descend quickly into the atmosphere to bank, careen and otherwise maneuver. They’re basically stubby gliders. The curved upper surfaces of their wedge-shaped bodies give them some of the lifting power of an airplane wing.

Dr. Wright and Dr. Tracy based their analysis on the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 — an experimental warhead developed by the Air Force and Darpa. Their findings, they say, also apply to other American prototypes, as well as devices being developed by China, Russia and other countries.

The computer simulations drew on the physics of moving bodies and public disclosures about the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 in order to model its most plausible flight paths. The team zeroed in on signature phases of hypersonic flight — when the vehicle zooms through the atmosphere and then plunges to hit a target.

The two experts say their computer modeling fills in public gaps on the weapon’s overall performance as well as its potential interactions with existing military systems for detecting and defeating weapons launched from distant sites.

In their paper, they see the weapon as essentially failing to outwit early-warning satellites and interceptors. For instance, current generations of space-based sensors, they report, will be able to track the weapon’s fiery twists and turns during most of its flight through the atmosphere.

And surprisingly, given the weapon’s speedy reputation, they say their analysis shows it will fly intercontinental distances more slowly than ballistic missiles and warheads fired on low flight paths known as depressed trajectories. In war, such tactics are seen as a good way for attackers to evade interceptors and lessen warning time.

Dr. Wright and Dr. Tracy conclude that the envisioned new weapon is, at best, “evolutionary — not revolutionary.”

In their paper, the authors contrast their findings with military claims. For instance, they quote the 2019 Senate testimony of Gen. John E. Hyten, the Air Force officer then in charge of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation’s nuclear missiles. The time it would take a hypersonic warhead to complete an attack, General Hyten said, “could be half” that of a standard missile. “It could be even less,” he added.

The clashes between public views of hypersonic warheads and their actual abilities, the two experts conclude, arise from overstated official claims meant “to justify the expenditure necessary” for their development and deployment.

The American military is currently researching a half dozen hypersonic arms. Dr. Wright said the limited amount of public information on their workings and flight data made the better-known Hypersonic Technology Vehicle the best available window into the current status and future potential of the prototype arms.

The team’s analysis, he noted, focuses on an underlying issue of physics that he said casts doubt on the new class of weapons in general.

It’s what aeronautical engineers call the lift-to-drag ratio. The esoteric term is a measure of lifting power versus drag. Lift pushes a speeding aerodynamic body up and atmospheric drag tries to counteract the forward motion, at worst prompting a stall.

Dr. Wright said the team’s analysis of the hypersonic vehicle used a lift-to-drag ratio of 2.6. In contrast, jetliners and some birds have a ratio approximately eight times higher. In other words, the warheads at best are unimpressive fliers.

The limited power of the curved, blistering hot surfaces to generate a substantial lifting force without also producing lots of drag undermined claims that the weapon can fly long distances on complex trajectories, he said.

“Unless they’ve found some magical way to keep these systems up,” Dr. Wright said, “they’re going to have problems.”

Policy experts expect the Biden administration to focus on fostering arms control, and it seems likely that the Trump administration’s plans for hypersonic warheads will get close scrutiny. Hypersonic arms are among the topics that defense experts see administration officials as addressing in early talks with Russia and China, including the possibility of finding ways to impose restraints.

Ned Price, a spokesman for the Biden transition team, declined to comment on the issue of hypersonic warheads.

“President-elect Joe Biden will have an experienced team to sort through these complicated issues,” Hans Binnendijk, a former National Security Council official, wrote last month in suggesting ways to reinvigorate arms control. “But it will take time and creativity to be successful.”

Hypersonic Superweapons Are a Mirage, New Evaluation Says Army consultants name hypersonic warheads the subsequent huge factor in intercontinental warfare. They see the rising arms, which might ship nuclear or standard munitions, as zipping alongside at as much as 5 miles a second whereas zigzagging by the environment to outwit early-warning satellites and interceptors. The superfast weapons, consultants say, lend themselves to shock assaults. President Trump has bragged about his “super-dupers,” even referring to the deliberate weapon as “hydrosonic,” a model of electrical toothbrush. Final yr, his funds requested the Pentagon to spend $3.2 billion on hypersonic arms analysis, up $600 million from the earlier yr’s request. And as President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. takes command of the nation’s navy, he must contemplate whether or not to maintain the protection work undertaken within the Trump years. Now, unbiased consultants have studied the technical efficiency of the deliberate weapon and concluded that its marketed options are extra illusory than actual.

However they declined to reveal new findings. “Because of the categorised nature of hypersonics applied sciences, we aren’t at liberty to publicly focus on present capabilities,” Jared Adams, chief spokesman for the Protection Superior Analysis Initiatives Company, or Darpa, mentioned in an e mail. Richard L. Garwin, a physicist and longtime adviser to the federal authorities, referred to as the paper “excellent and vital.” He added that he had offered his personal related criticisms of hypersonic warheads to protection officers. James M.
