Fragmented antique notes mix satire and history
A collected set of fragmented sentences references a Russian prince in Europe awaiting events, ancient fossil claims, a Penn State radio plan, and scattered social commentary. The tone suggests a mid twentieth century newspaper collage of anecdotes, opinions, and playful criticism without a single cohesive narrative.

Fragmented Voice Draws on Oddities in Speech and Song
A quirky collage questions language politics and daily life with references to Saxony’s lone saxophone Lucky Saxony and fears of freckled data. It muses on hay prices past and the Georgian tongue now official in Georgia while noting Aala’s distinction from the United States. The piece also observes officials with singular aims, slow locomotives at crossings and street noise alarming drivers, Honduras under strain, and a mortician once plain.
