It would seem that Caroline Taylor-Hitch might have had such a mantra humming in her head as she put one hand across her eyes, allowed her other hand to hover over an open map of California, hummed a few magic notes, and then trusting Earth’s gravity and Life’s luck, let her finger fall. Ldquo;I didn’t go to classes during the first two years of high school. Nobody could make me go. I’d have people drop me off in front of the...Maybe it was this...

Part I: Theatre’s Church. By Larry Greco Harris. Cooper Wise, at 23, has been searching for a feeling for a long time. And this search has led him from the bright lights of the theater stages in Nevada, through the through dim-lit heroin bathrooms of the Pacific Northwest, behind the metal bars of San Luis Obispo County Jail, and recently into a heavily monitored halfway house for ex-offenders. Once he’d had this experience, Cooper was reluctant to let it go. Part II: You Can’t Go Home Again. For Cooper ...

Part I: The Landscape of the Body. By Larry Greco Harris. If the man is an ex-convict, a felon, there is some likelihood that he will point to a tattoo as the most significant of those markings. If not that, he may lift to the light some battle wound as a badge earned in a hard life where enemies were met and threats were addressed. Such markings, though meaningful, are not unusual.
