"A Woman Is Not An Island"
By Dex
A woman is not an island
She is a desert
Where the scrub and the cactus and the lizards
grow together
in hostile conditions
Where the hawk circles
like a halo around the sun
in a cloudless sky
Searching for life in the hot stillness
and the privileged chance
To Strike

VetRep is thrilled to present “God of Carnage” by Yazmina Reza for the month of September. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
