BEDROOM - NIGHT Close up on SAM JEFFERSON (45, stocky build, attractive, well- preserved for his age about which he is sensitive. He is a dreamer and ‘ideas man’, but without the drive). He sits up post-coitally in bed, dishevelled, exhausted but extremely happy. SAM (breathless) Oh. My. God. Wow.

PULL BACK to show LORRAINE JEFFERSON (35, brunette, very attractive. Highly intelligent, ex-fat person who lives in constant fear of calories); NATASHA JEFFERSON (34, black, attractive, sexy. Sweet and naive, she is a rough diamond who quickly reverts to her ghetto roots. She is often appalled by the sexual lengths some people will go to get their kicks); and PATRICK JEFFERSON (35, black, ex-quarterback. Amiable, laid-back, a closet lothario with little self-control - life tends to happen to Patrick) in the bed, all equally dishevelled. LORRAINE, NATASHA, PATRICK You’re welcome.

    JANUARY 2019 VOLUME 42 ISSUE 1 THE 2018 ZiPLeR: THE 24TH ANNUAL ZONING AND PLANNING LAW REPORT LAND USE DECISION AWARDS Dwight H. Merriam, FAICP, CRE Please join us now in celebrating the 24th Annual Zoning and Planning Law Report Awards, just one year shy of our silver anniversary. For our faithful readers going back decades, you know what the ZiPLeR Awards are and for those just joining us, we want to give you a hint of what you will discover in these awards. The objective has always been to pick and choose among the many outliers in this practice area so that we can gain a better perspective of what we do and cast aside our misguided views that somehow our practice is exceptional. These awards highlight the best and worst in land-use decision-making, giving us an op- portunity to better understand how our individual efforts are more normal than we ever imagined. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you will be informed, and you may doze off. So please, in reading this awards issue do not operate heavy farm machinery or a motor vehicle on public highways (this warning is brought to you by the legal staff at Thomson Reuters) Just skim down the snippets of what these awards involve this year and hopefully you’ll be enticed to read on.

GIRL-JUNK, SUGAR-FUNK by Natalie Louise Tombasco Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing to the Department of English at Butler University May 2018 1 Introduction “What he carried with him, all he carried with him, was a lack, something like a lack of air, of proper behavior in his lungs, a difficulty that he supposed would go on forever.”—Alice Munro The poems in this collection are chock-full of aromas, twangs, cultural references, environments, and temperaments. They are a mouthful meant to carry a great weight, to create a dichotomy between lack and fullness, to strangle the reader with neglect. Duality is a recurring theme in poems such as “Chop Suey” and “The Transition into Backyard Mermaid,” and is also represented in the way terrains become intertwined in “Home Office Ecotone” and “Down Down from Fenneltown.” Setting is treated as a psychic space where flora and fauna drift between landscapes to embody disorientation, and it perhaps creates a new place where the speaker finds belonging.
