They gathered in a large, nondescript shed, sandwiched between Interstate 15 and the rear end of the Mirage. Despite the occasional muffled burst of applause or cheering from the back of the giant room, it was hardly the exuberant chaos Las Vegas is known for. The atmosphere was more like an agreeable visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles. But it was pure Vegas in its methodical choreography. An army of MGM-Mirage employees, bedecked in navy blue CityCenter polos and khakis, effortlessly...

These Kafkaesque tales have become a part of everyday life in Iran...

However, after seeing Wright’s struggle to describe the present, his nondescript conclusion seems fitting. In his philosophy, capturing the essence of things is more important than the thing itself, and in these last two lines he manages to relate the sense of security.The word “God,” which appears in previous poems, is noticeably absent from...
