Selections From Divinatio Diver, Sculptural Antipathia In Atonement Transcendo, And Mechanika Momento: Creatio Forecaster, Antonie Frankie Aquino
Far West Popular Culture Association Annual Conference
It is fated inspiration which penetrates the heart, satisfies the collective soul, and offers its spirit to the vastness of ceremonial vision. Vision becomes sound and sound forms a poetic voice displaced— this displacement radiates a mythologized poetic voice serving as a lyrical object, theogonic lyre, and the genealogical muse.

Alternatively, the main character in Midsommar, Dani, gets revenge …

Martin Luther King Jr.: The Ideal Medieval Preacher, Chloe Diaz
Andrews Research Conference
When scholars interpret the sermons of Martin Luther King Jr., such as his last sermon, they investigate his delivery of the speech and how it has stood the test of time.

There is a common …
