Incandescence

I'm not going to deny some kind of creative spark in this, but I am going to deny the constitutive nature of a "Dramatic Poem" within the piece itself. This ...

Recently, in my literary theory course, we discussed 9/11. We had an essay assignment to consider 9/11 as an interpretative textual being, something to analyze. My professor's sole comment is ...

There's a hole, all right. A line like the following: "A life flaw both share both bring together" is repetitive within itself and incomprehensible to most everyone but you. This ...
