The turning point in the poem that triggers this alteration seems to be when the reader realizes that the fish is in fact still alive. “While his gills were breathing” (line 22) is the first action given to the fish and the first time he is addressed as a living thing…

On Friday, July 10th, the local instrumental jazz group Yuma Jazz Company played at Lutes Casino for a couple of hours. The instrumentation was fairly standard for a jazz group, with trumpet, saxophone, guitar, double bass, and drums (I believe those were electric).

“Last Stop: Chicago Union Station” As the annoyingly familiar woman announced her daily sermon of train stops, I incorporated the dissonant melodies of the outside world with the orderly ones of Richard Strauss’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra”. But it would most likely be known to those crowded around me as the famous introduction to 2001: A Space Odyssey. My ritualistic walk to the Chicago Fine Arts Building for rehearsal began as my violin clanged against my back. The songs of those wearing suits…
