Desirae Matherly: No Discourse to Her Beauty:     A Tragic Proem in Thirty-Two Acts

May 11, 2011 by PBQ

(It began with a disagreement. We dithered over Fortinbras, Claudius, who of them made the better Prince: Reference Machiavelli, read strategy, but Hamlet’s line? . . . snuffed out.)

Andrew Palmer: Homage

May 11, 2011 by PBQ

A series of conversations about breaking stuff. “I really don’t want to talk about this.” “Fine. Okay,” said Kate. This was just last night. Long silence for a phone conversation, maybe ten seconds, maybe even fifteen or twenty. Not twenty. But long. Maybe fifteen. “But,” he said, “we’re gonna talk about it anyway, aren’t we,” […]
