There might be a lesson to draw from the fact that, in the mainstream-hip-hop economy of the past two decades or so, the word "freestyle" has come to refer almost exclusively to a highly specific form of lyricism-via-public-relations: a rapper, probably hawking a new album or single, sits across from a famous radio d.j.

There was a vogue for the transplanting of Shakespearean tragic motifs into Russian soil, exemplified by Turgenev's "Hamlet of the Shchigrovsky District" (1849) and "A Lear of the Steppes" (1870), although Leskov's novella-length tale claws deeper than Turgenev, beyond his lyricism and ennui, and enters an elemental wildness that seems touched by the witchery of Shakespeare's original.

As one of the most prolific, consistent and prodigious rappers to emerge in recent years, Mr. Staples, who turns 24 in July, has already been held up as a last-gasp protector of many things thought to be endangered: hip-hop lyricism, West Coast gangster rap, in-the-trenches protest songs, social-media authenticity and so on.

B PLUS New York Gypsy All Stars: Dromomania (self-released) Maintaining a nice intensity for most of its first half and settling into a lyricism that flirts likably with cheese after that, this is the showcase Ismael Lumanovski deserves—or would be if it made room for one of the Eric Dolphy homages I heard him unfurl as a fledgling ten years ago.

Smith name-checks others, including Angela Davis, bell hooks, Assata Shakur, Professor Lloren Foster at Hampton, Dave Chappelle, Kanye West, Tupac and Malcolm X. Throughout, Smith attempts to speak through hip-hop's urgent lyricism, draw analytical force from black satire and comedy, improvise on the black literary canon's rhetorical practices, and emulate the treatises of black feminism and black power.

The newer novels—monologues of isolation and remembrance, narrated by women unable to escape the often disastrous influence of men—had frequent passages of lyricism and psychological acuity: few writers have taken the same care to describe the experience of consuming, unproductive agitation, of looking too many times in a hotel-room drawer to confirm that you've left nothing behind.

" Lythcott-Haims, the author of "How to Raise an Adult," was the dean of freshmen at Stanford University, and she began writing poetry in 2007, after reading Lucille Clifton; the pacing of "Real American," staccato at times, rushed and frenetic at others, infuses the book with a lyricism that hums with the frustration and sadness she felt growing up what she calls "un-Black.

The first was a straight tango (full of give and take, constantly suspenseful), the second a tango-valse (rapturous and witty), the third a near-tragic piece of lyricism that, for all its lack of theatrics, turned out to contain its own drama: an attempted kiss on his part, a break away from her, a forlorn retreat by him, and finally a sudden, tender reconciliation and embrace.

Slow and Steady Originating from Austin, Texas, Slow and Steady, the brainchild of songwriter Jacob Lawter, manage to fuse catchy, layered musicality with gut-wrenchingly sad and personal lyricism, channeling as much the sound of classic emo and peak-era Pedro the Lion, as more contemporary, layered, and melodic indie rock—they list their genre as simply "2003," which feels like an appropriate catch-all.

So consider VH1's "The Breaks," which has its debut on Monday, a workplace drama taking place at the dawn of hip-hop's first large-scale identity crisis: Gangster rap is on the rise, political and socially progressive hip-hop still has legs, and lyricism is a priority, but MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice were bringing a high-energy strain of hip-hop, regionally and politically decontextualized, to the pop charts.

The song rocketed forward with a velocity that was sure to grab any fan of the kind of populist punk being dealt out by labels like Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords, but with Skiba's abstract lyricism, melding imagery from The Wizard of Oz and the self-deprecation of him cracking his head open to prove he had brains, it was a mixture of goofy wordplay and youthful conviction that was fully compelling.

From Europe, they have F. W. Murnau's silent 21941 "Nosferatu," the first great vampire movie; Benjamin Christensen's "Haxan," a fascinating 1929 quasi-documentary, both presented in beautifully tinted prints; Carl Dreyer's ineffable 1932 "Vampyr," a film whose influence is still felt today in the atmospheric work of directors like David Lynch; and Georges Franju's "Eyes Without a Face" (1962), a French plastic-surgery thriller that strikes an unforgettable balance of grisliness and lyricism.

Shonali Bose's "Margarita with a Straw" (2014), a coming-of-age story featuring a disabled main character, won acclaim from Indian critics for challenging stereotype; Chaitanya Tamhane's "Court" (2014), a searing look at India' judicial system, was recommended by a domestic jury to the 88th Academy Awards; and Neeraj Ghaywan's debut feature "Masaan" (2015), a three-part tale on modern-day societal censure and caste, won praise at home for its screenplay's Sufi lyricism (alongside two awards at Cannes).

How can one read "Collected Poems," then, from its first wintry still lifes, whose lyricism is as clean as snow falling onto bare trees, through the grapplings with injustice, to the mannered ghazals of the last decades, without seeing that Bly's career is one of the few great models of integrating the citizen with the mystic, whose body of work makes the argument that being a poet does not excuse you from joining in the national debate?

In "Wall Pillow" (2010/2012), depicting the verso of a work by Gerhard Richter, the irregular, high-contrast black shapes on the white backing are strikingly pure and simply arranged, lending the image a graphic crispness, while a piece like "CS #204" (1990), which frames a self-portrait by Cindy Sherman between two other artworks, one of which is wrapped in plastic, possesses a painterly lyricism rendered deeply troubling by the jackknifing of Sherman's left arm.
