A Visit to William Blake's Inn Adam Bagley the mingled shock and familiarity

the mingled shock and familiarity of a harsh Midwestern midwinter

Motivated by the desire to reinstate her father’s legacy as a great archeologist after he was marginalized by his rival

with its gestural rhythms and spontaneity

as well as the story of Diana's gender transition
