...junior varsity hockey Coach Kevin Hampe has been kind enough to allow me to moonlight as a practice goaltender, giving me invaluable knowledge about the art of ice hockey that a lifelong Southerner might be hard-pressed to come by.

The result is a realism that could not be more magical: "I carried Katharine Clifton into the desert, where there is the communal book of moonlight. We were among the rumour of wells. In the palace of winds...
