Parody courtroom tale and a jurist’s glare at Sally Dillard
An oddly staged court scene unfolds with Captain Rice and Cousin Sally Dillard in a rambling testimony about a fight at Captain Rice’s, interrupted by a chorus of spectators and a witness who struggles to stay on point. A second piece, “Cousin Sally Dillard,” follows a satirical poem about writing and memory, concluding with a mock defense of a public figure and a reflection on the power of the pen.
