Many people reading this article will not have lived someplace where the difference between success and failure relied on their ability to rip an engine block out of an early-'80s Trans Am. They will not have entertained notions of joining the circus based on their proclivity for throwing daggers, and they may never have been three sheets to the wind in a dodgy neighborhood at night, finding unexpected beauty in a crowd of teenagers at a bus stop-"one of them/ dribbling a basketball almost lyricizing/about his brother's makeshift condom/a bread sack and rubber band the backdrop/ a superette bars bolted over the windows."

The language cannot do without pictures, so it is very natural for me to work this way. We build the story out of interviews," [Steve Rosen] says. "Each film is a patchwork of elements in a narrative style appropriate to the subject." Belle's characters are introduced on th...

Severn's attitude toward Keats was an attitude that both focuses and blurs Severn's vision of his friend over the years, making him sometimes a reliable, sometimes an unreliable narrator, which places him, as a witness and memoirist of Keats, between his commitment as a nurse and his middling talent as an artist.

Assimilation through adoption is represented as a betrayal of one's race and a shirking of one's duty toward one's people.17 If the beliefs of both pro- and antislavery writers converged at the idea that whites were responsible for blacks' care, manifested either as paternalism in slavery or the liberal tradition in abolitionism, Harper's separatist solution rejects the model of care/dependence entirely and advocates blacks' independence.
