While you
may know me just as the CLASS Assistant (or your Critical Thinking
instructor), in my spare time I've been getting my MFA in Creative Writing.
Part of that process involved writing a book: Is She Dead Yet? Backstage in the World of Opera. In addition to
some opera information, I've included here some of my non-opera essays,
stories and collages.
Opera
An Overview of Is She Dead Yet: Backstage in the
World of Opera
A First Q & A About Opera The basics,

Is S/He Dead Yet? The variety of opera
deaths...

Mostly a bunch of inside jokes, but some of them might be funny to all
Good Opera/Bad Opera The operas I think you
might like (or not)
