All in All, Another Productive Day in the Thicket of

Somehow Myself Survived the
Night
The Woman Who Is to Be Sawn in Half
The Woman Who Is Sawn in Half Thinks about
Elephants:
Marianne Moore Feeding Them Bread at
the Circus
& Houdini Who Made One Disappear (&
Was Not
"Uncomfortably Popular" with Them as
Was Miss Moore)
