Historically, responses to this intriguing question have ranged from a primarily religious conception […]

Stacey Ake: Anatomical Gothic: I Sing the Body Electric

May 11, 2011 by PBQ

The body is important. And yet, the body dies. It seems such an obvious thing, death, and yet we live in a society that has somehow shunned death, as if it were some misbehaving Amish, which, by our disapproval, will somehow fall into line with our desires. But what are our desires? Do we even […]

May 11, 2011 by PBQ

Molly Peacock: The Diva

May 10, 2011 by PBQ

D was done with it and it meant everything. Done with demands, denial, the drama of hope. D hadn’t lived all his decades for nothing. Devotion?  Spare me, D thought. D was closing doors. Click-click—done. When they were all shut behind him, there opened a corridor of woods. And another thing I’m done with, D […]
