Sport Captain Says Discipline as Athlete Helped Her Get Good Grades
Boojraj didn't start playing any of these sports until going to Martin Van Buren High School. The senior originally joined the teams just to keep busy. With copy van cleef and arpels necklace alhambra just a few seasons under her belt, she's been replica van cleef and arpels necklace alhambra named captain of all three teams.
"She's a type of person who just constantly encourages the other girls to play well and to really put in full effort, and she shows that at van cleef alhambra diamond necklace imitation practice. She gives 110 percent, so the other girls follow," says Dominick Stanco, Boojraj's softball coach.
On top of all this, Boojraj is taking all advanced placement courses. The honors student is on track to graduate sixth in her class out of nearly 500. She's also a tutor and a volunteer at her church, and she even works a part time job.
Though her schedule is packed, Boojraj says she owes her good grades to the discipline she learned as an athlete.
"It encouraged me to actually get better at doing my schoolwork, because you have to be eligible in order to play these sports," she says. "And it really made me actually want to get a higher grade."
"She's really like a 'cross your Ts and dot your Is' kind of person," says Zoltan Laar, Boojraj's social studies teacher. "She makes me want to bring that same kind of commitment and detail orientation to my own works."
One of the biggest inspirations in Boojraj's life is her developmentally disabled brother. Because of him, she wants to go medical school.
"I really learned how to help others, basically, how to get that sympathy for everyone else," she says. "If I see someone who has a disability, instead of just standing there and watching them, I actually want to try to help them."

What I learned from getting shot
I haven said or written much publicly about the shooting that nearly killed me in 2008. But a recent confluence of events Trayvon Martin death, the Zimmerman trial and the public pronouncements of mostly privileged, mostly white people in the aftermath of the verdict has left me feeling like I have something to share. (Penn published abrief explanationlate last week, and apparently reconsidered his view over the weekend.)
Racial profiling for thee but not for me. That how it looks, at least. It probably more complicated than that. I don know. I asked Penn on Twitter to discuss the evolution of his views with me, but didn get a reply. Maybe he didn see the request. Either way, the offer still stands.
My story is more than five years old now. I was out late on a Tuesday with a friend whom I call Matt, since that his name. We been drinking probably too much for a weeknight, but not too much for a 25 year old journalist.
A half hour after last call, on our walk home up 16th Street northbound toward Mount Pleasant where we lived at the time, we impulsively decided to grab a late night snack at a 24 hour diner we used to frequent in Adams Morgan and hung a left up Euclid Street a dimly lit one way street with a violent history.
I been up and down Euclid hundreds of times over the years midday and late at night; alone and with friends; drunk and sober; and just about every fashion cheap hermes handbags permutation thereof. Always without incident.
This time was different. About half a block up Euclid, Matt and I encountered two young men both black, both wearing hoodies, charactersculled from Richard Cohen sweatiest nightmares. They wanted our phones, which we were cleverly holding in front of our faces as we walked.
We declined, gently under the circumstances. I worried we might end up in a fight. Maybe one of them had a knife, or a larger group of friends around the corner. I know I would surrendered my phone eventually, but not before suggesting they go hassle someone else. Maybe they figure we weren worth the trouble.
They didn oblige. The kid opposite Matt drew a small, shiny object from wherever he been concealing it and passed it to his accomplice, who was standing opposite me. A second or two lapsed long enough for me to recognize they weren joking, but not long enough for me to beg before it dischargedclap clap clap; my body torqued into the air horizontally, like I been blindsided by a linebacker, and I fell to the ground.
The kids fled east in a hurry, the same direction we come from down Euclid street. I stood up right away. Strangely I felt fine. Something had knocked the wind out of me, and my shoulder hurt a little bit, but ridiculously in hindsight we concluded it was an extremely effective prank. Rubber bullets. Something. If it been a real gun, I wouldn be standing.
Shake it off, I told myself, then onward to the diner.
Half a block later I didn feel so good anymore. I removed my T shirt (a red one, inconveniently) and realized it had masked a badly bleeding shoulder wound. My adrenaline fueled defiance gave way to the gory injury staring me in the face, and some important things dawned on me: I been imitiaton hermes bag shot. We were within firing distance of at least two armed men willing to commit murder. They hadn taken any of the things they claimed to want. And, oh yeah, I been shot.
Fortunately Matt was fine. Call 9 1 1, I told him as we started running. Ask for police and an ambulance. We were headed west on Euclid, as fast as we could, to put quick distance between ourselves and the thugs with the gun.
The 911 operator wanted us to stay put. will we know where to send the ambulance? they have a gun! They shot my friend! just keep updating me with your location. turned north onto 17th Street and made it another 30 feet before I couldn run anymore. Couldn breathe very well either. That was the moment I realized I suffered more than just a flesh wound on my shoulder. I slumped down against a fence on the east side of the street, in pain, but mainly just winded and growing sleepy. No good. I noticed intricate metalwork on a fence across the street and forced myself to focus on it. Stay awake, I told myself. Matt, per 911 instructions, was putting pressure on my shoulder wound, using my shirt as a rag, as if that was the cause of my sudden immobility.
The ambulance drove past us. I motioned frantically. Flag it down! He did, just in time. It stopped short of the intersection and the EMTs got to work. They found an exit wound in my back. They ran fluid into a vein in my left arm to revive my sinking blood pressure, but it worked too well. I no longer felt like I was on the verge of unconsciousness, but for the first time I could feel the full extent of the pain wracking my upper body. I strongly advise against getting shot. It hurts very badly.
The bad news, one EMT told me, was that I suffered a punctured lung. The good news, he added, was that they caught it quickly, and it should heal just fine. They loaded me into the back of the ambulance, snipped off my clothes, and did their level best to ignore my impolite demands for pain medicine.
your Social Security number? I gave it to them. I have some drugs? your dad cellphone number? I give it to you will you give me some drugs? knew it was a lie, and I was angry. But I was also relieved I wasn too far gone to recall that information. Or so I was later told.
During the transition I got one last bit of good news from the departing ambulance driver Brian. violence. Then came the bad news from an attending physician in the emergency room. we have to take you into surgery. We have to remove your spleen to save your life. remember thinking that a splenectomy was probably as unobtrusive as an appendectomy. I knew people who had their appendixes removed, and they all recovered pretty quickly. Either way, I wasn about to argue. don care, I just need those drugs. wheeled me into the operating room, and administered anesthesia. The last thing I remember before I finally lost consciousness was a nurse or doctor saying, surgeon not ready for him. My sister was there. My editor. Matt was somewhere. I was groggy, and wearing an oxygen mask, but I knew where I was and why. I wiggled my shoulder. fine, I thought to myself, surprised. I even wondered for a minute if I be released in time to catch a flight to Seattle, where I planned to spend the Fourth of July. That all changed when fake hermes bag I scratched my chest and nearly ripped out a staple. Odd. Below it there was another. I traced a line of them from my sternum down to below my belly button.
It turns out that even if a bullet only causes minor internal damage, doctors have to cut you wide open to perform a procedure called an exploratory laparotomy to make sure they not missing anything dangerous or fatal. In my case there were three bullets, including the one in my shoulder, and the injuries were pretty severe. Punctured lung, punctured diaphragm, punctured stomach, ruptured spleen, broken ribs, a hematoma on my kidney. One bullet tunneled harmlessly around the bones and muscles in my shoulder and remains lodged in a back rib on the upper left side of my body. Doctors removed another with my spleen. The third missed both my aorta and my spine by an inch or less, exited my back and landed on Euclid Street. A little this way and I be paralyzed. A little that way and I have bled out before the ambulance arrived.
I lost plenty of blood anyhow, probably over six units. The doctors put a tube in my chest to drain my lung, and two in my abdomen to drain my peritoneal cavity.
I spent a week and a half in the hospital, but never without company. My dad, who as luck would have it happens to be the best clinician I know, arrived within hours and took de facto charge of my care.
When the hospital released me I was still in bad shape, mentally and physically. After a couple months I lost my job. I moved out of the group house I lived in for two and a half years and in with a girlfriend, who lived in New York at the time. I worried I run out of money, have to move back to California, start all over.
I didn want that. But a part of me wondered if it might be for the best. People don get shot in Redlands very often. I knew my internal consigliere would eventually whisper that to me, and sure enough it did.
But the moment I woke up in the hospital I promised myself I wouldn let what happened change the way I approached life. I wouldn flee the city. I wouldn start looking over my shoulder. I wouldn let it affect my views on race or crime or guns, both because I liked the way my life had been taking shape, but also because at a fundamental level I knew I just been profoundly unlucky. most people going about their business on any given day or year or decade don get shot. Mugged, maybe, not shot.
Which isn to say my only scars were physical. It took my body about three months to heal, then another three before I sloughed off enough self pity to start working off the 40 pounds of booze and Hostess snacks I added to my waistline in a sedentary state of self pity. During that time I harbored revenge fantasies relished them, even. For my suffering, I told myself, I be justified returning Hermes birkin bags fake to the scene of the crime, armed and eager to mow down the first punk who tried to roll me.
That all passed. But to this day, I flinch when I look over a balcony, or when my airplane hits a patch of unexpected turbulence. That never happened to me before. The vivid image of a van or bus flattening me in a crosswalk flashes through my mind if I realize a few steps into the intersection that I haven looked both ways. These are minor inconveniences, and I become pretty good at controlling them or shaking them off quickly by reminding myself why they happening. Mind over matter.

Warren Beatty eyeing
More than a quarter century after he brought Dick Tracy to the Hermes birkin bags fake screen, Warren Beatty is considering making a sequel.
The news was revealed by Arnon Milchan on Wednesday at CinemaCon, as the producer accepted the Legends of Cinema Award from Beatty.
Asked after the lunch ceremony about the project, Beatty confirmed, "I'm serious about it, but I am slow about these things." He was whisked away by a crowd of admirers before he could make any additional comments. But Milchan also confirmed that a project is being discussed and could be completed within two years.
Beatty is already at work on a film in which he plays the aged billionaire Howard Hughes. That movie is also for Milchan's New Regency Productions, the powerhouse production company that won best picture awards for 12 Years a Slaveand Birdman. They expect a fall or winter release for Beatty's long gestating passion project, the yet to be titled Hughes film.
Beatty produced, fashion cheap hermes handbags directed and starred in the highly stylized 1990 version of Dick Tracy. The film featured an all star cast including Al Pacino, Madonna, Dustin Hoffman and Dick Van Dyke. It received critical praise for bringing a bright, comic imitiaton hermes bag book sensibility into live action, but criticism for weak character development and plot. Still, it made nearly $163 million on a $47 million production budget.
A sequel has been contemplated for years, but was held up in a fight over rights to the story between Beatty andTribune Media Services. With resolution of the lawsuit in 2013, a path was cleared for production. Milchan's comments at the luncheon in his honour were the first indication that Beatty plans on moving ahead. Asked after the event how serious Beatty was about the project, Milchan responded: "Very serious."
Milchan told the audience that Tracy was just one project being mulled by Beatty, who agreed after presenting the award to Milchan that another film on the comic book detective is a real possibility.
Beatty, the acclaimed star of films like Bonnie and Clyde, Bugsy,Reds,Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait, has not starred in a major film since 1998's political satire Bulworth. As to the possible re emergence of the 79 year old star after years out of the limelight, Milchan said: "The rules don't apply to him."
The star has been trying to get the Hughes film to the screen replica hermes handbags outlet for years and now looks like he is about to realise that dream, in partnership with New Regency and Fox. He will play the billionaire industrialist and filmmaker in his later years. Milchan said the story centres around the elderly Hughes' relationship with a young actress who wants to become a star. The New Regency owner said that the film will be test screened three or four times before a release date is set.

Surgeon Secrets to Reduce Bruising and Swelling
Surgeons have long known about the anti inflammatory properties of certain fruits and plants that are considered beneficial to intervene in the postoperative bruising and swelling process. The specific substances are bromelain and quercetin, which are found in pineapples, capers, apples, and red onions, to name a few.
Nearly any surgery (from foot surgery to plastic surgery) can result in bruising and bracelet van cleef fake swelling, which is a normal part of the healing process. Depending on the procedure, swelling and bruising can be quite excessive and visible. While there is no "cure," both doctors and patients take steps fake van cleef bangle to minimize the effects to expedite overall recovery.
Surgeons are very mindful of swelling, because excessive swelling can lead to complications such as incision breakdown and poor result. Wounds that open may lend themselves to infection. Of course, complications may lead to unsightly outcomes as well.
Bromelain is derived from pineapples (actually the stem), and is a potent enzyme that has anti inflammatory properties and plays a role in reducing bruising and swelling.
Quercetin is plant flavanoid derived from fruits with anti oxidant and anti inflammatory properties. Foods with high amounts of quercetin include: capers, apples, red oninion, citrus fruit, and leafy green vegetables.
Surgeons may recommend their use through certain foods or through use of specific dietary supplements. Whether you ingest bromelain quercetin through dietary changes or with supplements, you should be cautious to add these anti inflammatory agents properly to your diet. Health care professionals often recommend the pneumonic "RICE," which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation and this needs to be specifically tailored to your procedure. For open procedures, techniques exist for surgeons to limit bleeding, which may limit postop bruising. Even the dressings placed by surgeons often are placed in such a way to provide compression. Ice is helpful in postop swelling and bruising but should be used cautiously and under the instruction of your doctor, because ice can constrict blood vessels and cause permanent damage. In some cases, doctors prescribe anti inflammatory medication post operatively.
While bruising and swelling is a normal part of healing, there are methods to limit that replica bracelet van cleef and arpels bruising and swelling while still supporting healing.

Andy Ashkar said he bought it when he went there for lunch on October 27, 2006.
He claimed he scratched the ticket, then handed it to his father.
"He scanned it. He said, 'Shut up!' He didn't want anyone to know," he said.

What interpreting Abraham replica Hermes belts france Lincoln
In 1889, Joseph Pulitzer's New York Evening World held a contest to determine America's "Champion Dreamer." The winner was a Maryland junior college instructor named Buckey who dreamed he'd shot a man who wore a thick black mustache. As Buckey walked to work the next morning, the vividly seen face of his victim was suddenly before his eyes a second time. The two men jumped back, equally startled. "For God's sake, don't shoot me!" cried the stranger. Buckey and he recognized each other, because they had dreamed the same dream.
In the midst of the Civil War, newspapers North and South featured stories about soldiers whose dreams predicted war's end. On April 25, 1863, Boston's Saturday Evening Gazette demonstrated the credence it had given to a local artilleryman's dream by printing a retraction, regretting that the man's six week old vision of April 23 as "the date of Peace" had not been met. The wife of a Union general, meanwhile, could not banish from her fragmented sleep narratives gruesome premonitions about her sons: "One night I dream that Paul is drowned, another that Benny is dead."
What did dreams mean for Americans who lived in the century before Sigmund Freud undressed their repressed desires and ushered in the "Self Help Century"? A pretty basic question, yet somehow no historian had really delved into it before. We know much about the physical contours of our forebears' world, far less about the emotional contours. As I began to dig up old dreams for my new book, Dreamt He Died, the more I paged through preserved diaries and letters, the more committed I became to answering the question cultural historians can't help but ask: Were they like us? It would be a history of America from the inside out, the "American Dream" in a most literal way. pleasant dreams (it's the same for theirs as it is with modern dreams: about three fourths are anxious). I can report, at least, that the famous people whose dreams I track are surprisingly forthcoming, considering that we imagine early Americans to have been a less self revealing people than us moderns.
Were they like us? Not exactly. Lots of 18th century people heard voices while unconscious and responded to the musical soundtrack of their sleep narratives a phenomenon less common in modern dream reports. To take one example, Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of oxygen, speculated that "no impression ever made on the mind is ever wholly lost," as he related a dream in which he was attending a lecture. The speaker's "peculiar" tones resembled musical notes loud sounds that remained in Priestley's head for a short time after he woke, though the image of the speaker and audience had by then dissipated.
"I see dead people" dreams were extremely common. Benjamin Rush, born in 1745, was a physician, University of Pennsylvania professor, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. He had faith in his medical colleagues' standard prognosis: that dreams indicated physiological impairment. Ordinarily that meant indigestion, but in extreme cases a hysteria that could lead to madness. At the same time, Dr. Rush considered his own dreams delightful and instructive. In one of his death defying dreams, the good doctor was inside the gates of a graveyard, watching the comings and goings of ghosts, some of whom he had known in life. The risen dead dressed in their burial shrouds did not spook him, but the "noise in the air which I supposed to be the last trumpet" was hard to forget. His dream was filled with sound: "I heard a woman vociferating to a man I supposed to be her husband." She demanded, and her mate "meekly" complied. Nearby, a different marital scene unfolded: "It was a man kicking his wife and dragging her by the hair and then leaving her by saying, 'There, take that, you bitch.'" Who knew America's founders were so caught up in gender politics when they weren't philosophizing about government?
The next generation evidenced similar concerns, ratcheting up the bizarre. Popular essayist, lecturer and Transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson fretted all his life about the dissolving properties of memory, and he repeatedly tried to nail down the most absorbing of his dreams. One he had in the late 1830s that he called "droll" was particularly vivid. He found himself attending a conference on marriage, when one of the speakers suddenly "turned on the audience the spout of an engine which was copiously supplied from within the wall with water." This man shook the hose in all directions and "drove all the company out of the house." The dreaming Emerson relished the scene: "I stood watching astonished amused at the malice vigor of the orator, I saw the spout lengthened by a supply of hose behind, the man suddenly brought it round a corner drenched me as I gazed. I woke up relieved to find myself quite dry." His recorded postscript illuminates Emerson's lighter side: "the Institution of marriage was safe for tonight." He says nothing, however, about any sexual allusion in the Hermes belt replica france man shaking his engorged hose Freud had not been born yet. While visiting Lake Geneva in 1870, she sent home to her sister what she, too, termed "a droll dream," which involved their ne'er do well educator father. In the dream, she is back in their old neighborhood but it looks different her house is gone, replaced by a castle and she asks a neighbor, while he is wallpapering a room, to direct her. This is how she learns that she died 10 years earlier and left her father a plot of land on which he built his long wished for school. She sees her reflection, and discovers herself to be "a fat old lady, with gray hair and specs." When she finds her father, he, on the other hand, is years younger, "with brown hair and a big white neck cloth, as in the old times." She laughs at the absurdity of it all.
Until the middle of the 19th century, many more Americans saw dire warnings than Hermes belt replica odd humor in dreams. In a good number of them, angels took the dreamer on a tour of the afterlife. People away from home wrote urgently to find out whether the coffin they saw during sleep indicated that someone in the family had died. In the American Revolution as well as the Civil War, separated sweethearts wrote ecstatically, conveying literal dreams of happy reunions; but some men in army camps dreamed of being coldly met by their wives on their return home. Abandonment dreams were common. Prisoners of war, not surprisingly, dreamed of sumptuous meals, and woke to dirt and despair.
As for the book's title, Abraham Lincoln was one of countless Americans coming of age in what we term the Romantic era, who believed that dreams could prophesy. Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" note that his company is called DreamWorks opens with a dream sequence. There is basis in fact for this directorial decision.
Lincoln memorized the haunting poetry of Lord Byron, reveling in the "wide realm of wild reality" that comprised the Romantics' dream world. After reelection, he confided to his close friend and bodyguard Ward Hill Lamon that he dreamed of seeing his own body lying in state. "Who is dead in the White House?" the dreaming Lincoln asked a soldier standing guard. "The President," he was told. "He was killed by an assassin." Though Lamon was generally reliable, we cannot be absolutely certain that he didn't dress up his memoir here.
Mark Twain was another who swore by the supernatural character of certain sleep narratives. He dreamed of his younger brother's death in a riverboat explosion, not long before it took place. "Dreamed of a whaling cruise in a drop of water," began another of his many documented dreams. Whereas Thomas Jefferson simply referred to dreams as "our nightly incoherencies," Twain called them "psychic phenomena."
Times were changing for dreamers. It is more than a little curious that the mass of ordinary, as well as extraordinary, Americans came to reject standard medical thinking, going along instead with the language of opiated poets and gothic novelists that so fascinated them. Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" commanded their attention, and so did Mary Shelley's the late 1850s, Caroline Clay Dillard, a young North Carolina woman, peppered her diary with Irving's pathos driven graveside laments, Byron's dream laden poetry and a smattering of her own dreams. In one she saw her deceased toddler nephew and "heard strains of music and looking ahead saw a bright dazzling glorious City." Dream life and real life were easily interchangeable in an age when frequent early death darkened the sunlit days of every family. Desperately in love with her former teacher, who subtly hinted at his feelings for her, Miss Dillard wrote to herself: "O! I'm dreaming."
Her preoccupation was the norm. The 19th century's classic literature of sleep borne journeys, time travel and mystifying reanimations only intensified with the years. Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and H. G. Wells' Time Machine are but two examples. Americans' engagement with dreams was such that when Freud crossed the Atlantic, great numbers were immediately intrigued and before long ready to submit to psychoanalysis.
We know what we mean when we use the term "American Dream": It speaks to collective hope, national pride and the personal security we see as a possibility for those who believe in its magic. Studying literal dreams is another form of magical belief, another delineator of culture, another marker of hopes and fears. The 1889 New York Evening World's "champion dream" came with a certificate of authenticity. (Who doesn't wonder how something that melts away in seconds can be authenticated?)
Yet I think the dreams I have collected indicate more than signs of individual strength or weakness: They are historical treasures. Since classical times, dreams have suggested to the multiplying millions who preceded us that physical death does not necessarily mark the end of sentience. Even those not known in their communities as conventionally religious found themselves drawn in. Rush that she dreamed of her husband's dying in the Caribbean on the very night she later learned he had perished. Death stalked the early American dreamer.
I have found in my research that while Americans claimed, even then, to be a practical minded people, they were actually mired in superstition, haunted by their dreams, and no less delighted by the invention of the Ouija board than by the cotton gin. It is their unsupported claims to wisdom that adheres most to our ancestors, and renders them intensely interesting as historical subjects. hermes black belt knockoff After the American Revolution, dreamers did not immediately regard dream life as a form of autobiography. It took decades before they knew their dreams as we know our dreams as a facet of longing for which the imagination serves as a delivery vehicle.
Today's dream scientists speculate that the function of dreams may be to restore body and mind, helping the brain to manage threats and disturbances. They say that our remembering dreams may in fact be nothing more than an evolutionary fluke. For the cultural historian, however, studying the extant dreams of past societies holds out the promise of unearthing new clues to the collective identity of entire generations.
I feel comfortable in concluding that you cannot fully appreciate the 20th century's fascination with psychoanalysis until you first appreciate the 19th century's fascination with dreams. The road that brought them to Freud is paved with colorful imagery and soundscapes, hauntings, illusions and echoes of love. Their footprints may be gone from our world, but in these most personal of texts they still speak to us.

Americans' engagement with dreams was such that when Freud crossed the Atlantic, great numbers were immediately intrigued and before long ready to submit to psychoanalysis.
We know what we mean when we use the term "American Dream": It speaks to collective hope, national pride and the personal security we see as a possibility for those who believe in its magic. Studying literal dreams is another form of magical belief, another delineator of culture, another marker of hopes and fears. The 1889 New York Evening World's "champion dream" came with a certificate of authenticity. (Who doesn't wonder how something that melts away in seconds can be authenticated?)
Yet I think the dreams I have collected indicate more than signs of individual strength or weakness: They are historical treasures. Since classical times, dreams have suggested to the multiplying millions who preceded us that physical death does not necessarily mark the end of sentience. Even those not known in their communities as conventionally religious found themselves drawn in. Rush that she dreamed of her husband's dying in the Caribbean on the very night she later learned he had perished. Death stalked the early American dreamer.
I have found in my research that while Americans claimed, even then, to be a practical minded people, they were actually mired in superstition, haunted by their dreams, and no less delighted by the invention of the Ouija board than by the cotton gin. It is their unsupported claims to wisdom that adheres most to our ancestors, and renders them intensely interesting as historical subjects. hermes black belt knockoff After the American Revolution, dreamers did not immediately regard dream life as a form of autobiography. It took decades before they knew their dreams as we know our dreams as a facet of longing for which the imagination serves as a delivery vehicle.
Today's dream scientists speculate that the function of dreams may be to restore body and mind, helping the brain to manage threats and disturbances. They say that our remembering dreams may in fact be nothing more than an evolutionary fluke. For the cultural historian, however, studying the extant dreams of past societies holds out the promise of unearthing new clues to the collective identity of entire generations.
I feel comfortable in concluding that you cannot fully appreciate the 20th century's fascination with psychoanalysis until you first appreciate the 19th century's fascination with dreams. The road that brought them to Freud is paved with colorful imagery and soundscapes, hauntings, illusions and echoes of love. Their footprints may be gone from our world, but in these most personal of texts they still speak to us.
