COMMENTARY, ESSAY & CREATIVE NON-FICTION


 

A Writer's Response to Terrorism

"'The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. '"

by Aaron Roy Even

 

 

"It was a cool, foggy morning. I stood in half-light in front of the mirror, with a needle and string of waxed dental floss in one hand, gripping half a raw potato in the other. Which side to choose? I was informed that one side signified you were a prostitute, the other that you were gay."

by Alyce Miller

 

Intravenous Drip


"There was the cooling swab of alcohol, the tapping and smoothing over the back of my hand to find a prominent vein. The imminent foretaste of pain clarifies the mind. I would watch my vein with a detached, clinical interest, my dread giving way to a stoical resolve not to scream."

by Natasha Waxman
