This is our largest issue to date, over 200 pages of quality work, and I couldn’t be prouder. Each piece offers a glimpse into each writer’s mind. You might like what you see and you might not, but I challenge you, dear reader, to peruse this issue to its end. For this issue, I opened the door to new editors. Andy Tu and Luciana Fitzgerald generously gave of their time and expertise and, as a whole, I feel allowing them into Corvus’ inner sanctum proved most productive. Special thanks to them for their help sorting out the bones. When I began this little lit journal around this time last year, I never imagined it would reach so many. It is truly an honor to work with such talented people and I look forward to the opportunity to reach many, many more. Enjoy and happy scribbling!

Planning Revenge on the Eight Ball is a WIP. She resides in Milwaukee, WI, with her life partner, a collection of (moderately creepy) taxidermy and a plethora of pets. She is the EIC for Corvus Review. 5 PROSE Mad Mad World Luke Silver I’d rather not go to the party, she thought. I’d rather not go to the party, because if I go, I might see Johnny Netters; we might make eye- contact, and then I’ll either have to look away, which is rude, or stare at him and wait for him to look away, and that’s just plain awkward and uncomfortable. And if I go, maybe he’ll even come over and talk to me and ask me a question like, How are you, Susan? Or do you want to grab lunch sometime next week, Susan? Or will you dance with me, Susan? In which case I definitely won’t know what to say. No, I’m pretty certain. It’s pretty clear to me. There’s really only one option here. It’s overall safer this way. Susan hung up her favorite dress on her closet rack, the long white one with the blue carnation print, and step-step-stepped up the ladder and onto the ‘Princess Bed’ that Paw-Paw had built for her. She sat on the edge of the bed, and the petite feet on her petite frame dangled down toward the carpeted floor. She felt good about her decision. The party at Maya Rivera’s was going to be a wild affair, and Susan didn’t know how well she’d handle a wild affair. How had she come to such a definitive decision? Through deliberate logic. By connecting the dots. The invitation that came in the mail was riddled with perfume and glitter, and in large bold hot-pink font read, “Maya Rivera’s Dope Bat-Mitzvah Party” and promised large bold attractions like a surprise musical performance. Anything wild was probably unsafe, Susan reasoned. It increased the likelihood that things would escalate beyond her control. The situation with Johnny Netters might go horribly awry. And while it might not, if she weren’t physically there, how could the drinking, and swearing, and overall bad behavior miserably ruin everything? It couldn’t! She didn’t really like surprises anyway. Surprises brought uncertainty, and uncertainty brought dread, and anxiety, and other scary things that couldn’t touch her when she closed the canopy curtains on her Princess Bed. Yes, Susan felt increasingly happy with her sound judgment. Besides, didn’t the USA Network play re-runs of Monk every Friday night? They did. And wasn’t watching her favorite television character by the same name, a man who had OCD like her, but still kicked B-U-T-T 6 and always defeated the bad guys with caution and sound logic, more than enough of a reason to stay home? It was. Susan smiled and looked out the window and heard the sounds of a male blue jay engaged in a spring mating call with a female. They’re singing to each other, Susan thought. How utterly adorable! She glanced over at the Jonas Brothers clock on her wall that read a quarter past seven. Paw-Paw was coming home soon! Charles Pennington scuttled home in the bitter Midwest winter cold with oily hair, and oily pants, smelling quite strongly like oil. At another time, if he were going out to dinner, or to a parent-teacher conference, perhaps, he might have worried that his physical impression wasn’t the most favorable, that he wasn’t presenting himself in the best of lights. But in his current situation, Charles Pennington had no mind for trivialities. He was in quite a hurry. There was only a ninety-minute window between his first job, a mechanic at AutoWorld, and his second job, a bartender at Wings&Ales. Ninety minutes wasn’t a lot of time to make it home, scrub the oil off in the shower, enjoy family time over dinner with his daughter, take a moment to himself, and change, before hauling ass in a new outfit back across town. Something always gave. Lately, it had been the personal private time. He still hadn’t even cracked open the book that he bought himself at the seminar last summer on how to invest wisely and become a rich father. Nor had he replaced the torn shower curtain in the bathroom that drenched the tile floor every time he took a shower. Although fixing the house wasn’t really doing something personal, it was more of a collective good. It was something that benefitted Susan as much as it benefitted him, whether she appreciated it or not. He feared he had forgotten how to appreciate himself. What he really needed was a vacation. A nice private weekend getaway somewhere secluded, but not totally remote. Far enough away so that he could get time to himself, but close enough so that if, God forbid, something bad happened to Susan, he could race home right away. Charles Pennington laughed at his whimsies. What money was going to pay for this vacation? Even if he could scrounge the savings together, and even if his boss at AutoWorld, Rick, and the night manager at Wings&Ales, Pedro, did understand that he needed a few personal days, who would look after Susan? He couldn’t really ask her to stay with one of her friends, because, well, her condition made that unlikely. Plus, if Susan had a female presence around to help her, and teach her about the female things that Charles couldn’t relate to, it would be easier on 7 the both of them. Raising a daughter as a single dad with two jobs was no damn cakewalk. If Janey were still with them, things would be different… Charles shook the thoughts from his head. What was he even trying to get at? That he was unhappy when so many other folks had it worse? That he wasn’t pleased to have a daughter who was unique, and special, and also by going to the party tonight, trying her damnedest to fit in with her peers? Susie was the world’s greatest blessing! Other kids her age probably spent the weekends getting doped up, sending each other naked pictures on the Internet, and passing around all sorts of diseases.

    FRIENDLY FIRE by Steve Pyne § the Warm Fire Started from a Lightning

    FRIENDLY FIRE by Steve Pyne § The Warm fire started from a lightning strike on June 8, 2006 a few miles south of Jacob Lake, between Highway 67 and Warm Springs (which gave the fire its name) and could easily have been extinguished with a canteen and a shovel. The North Kaibab instead declared it a Wildland Fire Use fire, and was delighted. Previous efforts with WFUs had occurred during the summer storm season and had yielded small, low-intensity burns that “did not produce desired effects.” The district had committed to boosting its burned acres and had engineered personnel transfers to make that happen. Since large fires historically occurred in the run-up to the summer monsoon season, when conditions were maximally hot, dry, and windy, the Warm fire promised to rack up the desired acres.1 For three days the fire behaved as hoped. On June 11 the district decided to request a Fire Use Management Team to help run the fire, which was now over a hundred acres and blowing smoke across the sole road to the North Rim, and so required ferrying vehicles under convoy. On June 13 the FUMT assumed command of the fire. Briefings included a warning that the fire could not be allowed to enter a region to the southeast which was a critical habitat for the Mexican spotted owl. The “maximum management area” allotted for the fire was 4,000 acres. That day the fire spotted across the highway, outside the prescribed zone. The FUMT and district ranger decided to seize the opportunity to allow the fire to grow and get some “bonus acres.” The prescribed zone was increased; then increased again as the fire, now almost 7,000 acres, crossed Forest Road 225, another prescribed border.

    NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management

    A publication of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management PMS 902 April 2021 NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management April 2021 PMS 902 The NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management, assists participating agencies of the NWCG to constructively work together to provide effective execution of each agency’s incident business management program by establishing procedures for: • Uniform application of regulations on the use of human resources, including classification, payroll, commissary, injury compensation, and travel. • Acquisition of necessary equipment and supplies from appropriate sources in accordance with applicable procurement regulations. • Management and tracking of government property. • Financial coordination with the jurisdictional agency and maintenance of finance, property, procurement, and personnel records, and forms. • Use and coordination of incident business management functions as they relate to sharing of resources among federal, state, and local agencies, including the military. • Documentation and reporting of claims. • Documentation of costs and cost management practices. • Administrative processes for all-hazards incidents. Uniform application of interagency incident business management standards is critical to successful interagency fire operations. These standards must be kept current and made available to incident and agency personnel. Changes to these standards may be proposed by any agency for a variety of reasons: new law or regulation, legal interpretation or opinion, clarification of meaning, etc. If the proposed change is relevant to the other agencies, the proponent agency should first obtain national headquarters’ review and concurrence before forwarding to the NWCG Incident Business Committee (IBC). IBC will prepare draft NWCG amendments for all agencies to review before finalizing and distributing.

    Women's History Month 2021

    WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH 2021 SPOTLIGHT: CUIMC WOMEN The CUIMC Women’s Employee Resource Group would like to thank those who nominated Staff and/or Faculty women of influence at the medical center to be spotlighted during women’s history month. Many women in the workplace do not realize the level of influence and impact they have on the people around them. There are always misperceptions that we need some magic something to have an impact or to influence others. The fact of the matter is people see us, listen to us, and agree to do things for us more often than we realize. "Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher"- Oprah Winfrey "The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy"- Meryl Streep "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier"- Mother Teresa "I've always believed that one woman's success can only help another woman's success"- Gloria Vanderbilt WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH 2021 SPOTLIGHT: CUIMC WOMEN Maura Abbot, PhD, NP NOMINATOR’S COMMENTS Maura is an incredible mentor, professor, and leader. As someone who straddles the worlds of academic and clinical medicine, she demonstrates that opportunities for women in the workplace are endless. I wish every “ woman had a positive and uplifting role model like Maura! BEST ADVICE YOU HAVE RECEIVED I think the best professional advice I have ever received I heard twice once from a Nursing mentor and again from a physician colleague. They told me “know what you know, and more importantly know what you don’t know.

    DREAMS My Journey with Multiple Sclerosis By Kristie Salerno Kent DREAMS: MY JOURNEY WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. Copyright © 2013 by Acorda Therapeutics®, Inc. All rights reserved. Printed in the United States of America. Author’s Note I always dreamed of a career in the entertainment industry until a multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis changed my life. Rather than give up on my dream, following my diagnosis I decided to fight back and follow my passion. Songwriting and performance helped me find the strength to face my challenges and help others understand the impact of MS. “Dreams: My Journey with Multiple Sclerosis,” is an intimate and honest story of how, as people living with MS, we can continue to pursue our passion and use it to overcome denial and find the courage to take action to fight MS. It is also a story of how a serious health challenge does not mean you should let go of your plans for the future. The word 'dreams' may end in ‘MS,’ but MS doesn’t have to end your dreams. It has taken an extraordinary team effort to share my story with you. This book is dedicated to my greatest blessings - my children, Kingston and Giabella. You have filled mommy's heart with so much love, pride and joy and have made my ultimate dream come true! To my husband Michael - thank you for being my umbrella during the rainy days until the sun came out again and we could bask in its glow together. Each end of our rainbow has two pots of gold… our precious son and our beautiful daughter! To my heavenly Father, thank you for the gifts you have blessed me with.

Selective and analytical rather than comprehensive and descriptive, it focuses on three representative poets of the period and traces the development of the female poetic self-concept as it is manifested in their work. Critical concepts are drawn from several feminist theories of poetic identity which are based on the broad premise that poetic identity is a function of cultural experience in general and literary experience in particular.
