Citadel of the Spirit

Here are the contents of the upcoming anthology to which I contributed an essay, "RISK IN REP: Remembering Peter Fornara’s Remarkable Theater Company." In addition to original essays, there are reprints of historical material. The book will come in at something like 600 pages. Quite an impressive anthology, I think, and I'm delighted to be included.
