...punctuates the book, deliberating the text’s future and reflecting on its past. “I know what kind of story I’d make from this one, if I could: the kind that, from one word to the next, breaks free. The kind that invents itself out of meaningless detail and thin air. The kind in which there’s no choice like chance.” We are not merely reading a story, but rather we are watching the creation of a story, like a life form rising from dancing nucleotides. Powers?...
...write a poem for them, taking into account their language and their situation, and give it back to them... that can be a very meaningful experience.”Although Armitage has demonstrated a serious commitment to performing his poetry both internationally and within the UK—next year he plans on busking his way through the north of England in the style of an itinerant minstrel—he still thinks of his poems as primarily textual experiences. “By and large, I write for the page, for the inner eye and the inner...
...investments fell 27.3 percent in the fiscal year ending June 30, bringing its total value down to $26 billion—an $11 billion drop.

The room is clearly labeled a "Fitness Center" and requires Quincy swipe access to enter. Inside this very blue, mirror-lined room sit five elliptical machines/cross ramps, two treadmills, two bikes, well-organized dumbbells, an erg, and one television set in the corner. The room feels much bigger than both Lowell and Adams and had the most cardio equipment of the three. The only thing unbecoming about the Quincy House gym were the random tears...
